You know what’s fun and doesn’t cost eighty dollars? Super Mario Run on iOS. Make more iOS games, Nintendo.

I’m glad I bought this 2DS XL for cheap. There’s a few old fames I want to play, which are reasonably priced ($6-$30). There’s some new games I’d also like to play. But there’s no way I’m paying eighty dollars for a video game. Eighty dollars is >5 months worth of Netflix.

After carrying an iPhone XR around for six months, when I see a 6, 7 or 8 (non plus) I’m aghast at what small, slim and great looking phones they are. Then again, I charge my XR every other day - a well worthy trade off.

I haven’t used Dropbox in many, many years. Mainly because iCloud. Also because Dropbox.

Holy shit console games are expensive.

Buy a single pen refill in New Zealand for $12 delivered. OR, buy a 10 pack of the same brand from Amazon and have it shipped from America for $17.

There’s going to be a new Legend of Zelda, so I’ll have to buy a Switch again, or whatever the next console is. Reckon I’ve got heeeeeaps of time though. They announced it as “in development”, as if there isn’t always a new Legend of Zelda in development.

Does anyone know if mail.app on iOS 13 allows for email aliases? It’s the only reason I use a third party app at the moment.

The thing I like the most about micro.blog is it’s, as dubbed by some, the slow social network. You can have a conversation over days, weeks, or even months with time to really think between posts. It’s so much less ethereal than Twitter.

I’m sick of all my stuff being black. I’m making a change and from now on, I’m going to go for colour whenever possible.

The supermarket parking paradox: You want to park close enough to a trolley return so you don’t have a trek to return your trolley, but you don’t want to park so close that runaway trolleys or people causally biffing trolleys in the general direction will damage your car.

Do you guys like my DNS and media server?

It’s a little ridiculous that the new Mac Pro will be able to be configured to have more ram than disk.

Ah yes, the warning on my Apple TV that my remote needs to be recharged for the third time in four years. Say what you want about the functionality of that remote (it’s really bad), but the battery life for such a little device is exceptional.

One day, I’m going to have to merge my Photos folder (304 GB) with my iCloud Photos library (122 GB). Today is not that day, because 😩

🏏 Bangladesh 244/ New Zealand 248/8. That was way closer than it should have been. Good late bowling attack by the Bangers, and I’d say complacency by the Black Caps.

‘tis indeed a dark and stormy night.

I’ve been on a classic Nintendo game kick recently. Playing Super Mario 3/World, mostly. But I also want to play a couple of N64 games (Starfox, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64). I have my Mario’s on a GBA, but I’m thinking I may just buy a second hand 2DS XL and just hit the virtual console. Anyone have any experience with this?

Or all your files of you run your own VPN! This is excellent.

Apple is certainly taking its time getting a replay of this morning’s keynote online. Almost 6 hours since it kicked off.

🏏 Ooof. That’s a thrashing. Reminds me of the thrashing NZ gave England in Wellington at the last world cup.

Cricket World Cup: Black Caps thrash Sri Lanka by 10 wickets

I closed my Backblaze account last night. Only because the exchange rate makes it a bit too expensive (I’ve lots of backups, w/ more on the way)

I’d just like to note how easy it is to completely delete your account. Account closure should always be this easy everywhere.

T’was a dark a stormy night.

I did this two months ago. No one noticed. No one cares about tweets from 2009. Around 1,000 is my new rolling total, it seems (3 months worth).
