Can somebody remind me why i'm paying $20 a month for Google Gemini again?
Five year late hot take on Final Fantasy 7 Remake (now that i can play it on Xbox). I do not care for the battle system at all. I'm just mashing buttons. Outside of battles the game is kinda just a walking sim. That's fine though; it hits the nostalgia well enough.
TIL there are different sizes of those flat round batteries, and I am so angry about it.

“It’s just going to ask you a quick question”

Has got to be my most hated phrase at this point.

You wont find a more biased source for this hot take but here goes anyways. I tried to help a neighbor with a printer problem on their Windows computer. I cant believe how bad literally everything on that platform is still. Users seeing any mention of the word "driver" is bonkers.

I did a test print from my iPhone which worked fine with just a few taps and a few seconds of setup.

We just had an earthquake so strong it turned my lamp on haha.
As a low-vision shopper, I am begging these companies to stop using the most subtle branding for their food-alternative products. I dont get why things just can't be called what they are? These are not sour cream or cream cheese.

We need to start dialing in airport arrival times. I got through security and US Customs in probably 7 minutes total at Calgary. Amazing! Now i get to stew in the terminal for 3 hours for my flight ;)
