I’ve found that as I got older, my taste in games has narrowed significantly. I used to be able to play pretty much anything, or especially any popular or critically acclaimed games. But these days I just don’t give a shit about most of what’s out there. I do have certain genres and developers that interest me though, so I know there are occasionally going to be some new games that I really like. And every now and then I might get surprised by something too.

Slightly better performance than a 4060 and $50 cheaper. But the 4060 is about to be replaced with a newer model at this point, so is it actually a good deal? Questionable.

USA, I’ve been using a $2.50/month plan from Red Pocket, but this thread reminded me that I need to renew for the coming year, and it appears the price has gone up to $3.75/month now. If that’s really the case, I’m not exactly pleased about that.

It’s just a bare bones plan with 200 minutes, 1000 texts, and 200MB of data. But I’m usually at home on Wi-Fi and I just use a Google voice number so I never really eat into the minutes or texts. I pretty much only use the data for emergencies like if I’m out driving somewhere and I wasn’t able to plan and look up maps ahead of time.

If you want to get non-techy users, then there is absolutely no need to even use the word fediverse or to try to explain what any of this means. If you want to help a friend get onboard, just send them a link to sign up on the same server that you use, or a nice general purpose server. That’s it. They sign up, they use it, and THEN they can start to learn about fediverse shit if they care to.
