The GameCube, Wii, and Wii U all use the same basic setup: PowerPC G3 CPU and an ATi/AMD GPU with an upgrade each generation. They are, in effect, very similar to how the PS4 and Xbox One started their own current trends. In fact, the Wii U can run GameCube games natively with some effort, and Wii games out of the box.

Planet Oat has some tasty varieties, I'm a big fan of their Blueberry Oat Crunch. Also, Dole Whip is dairy free as well and is getting more popular just about everywhere.

Otherwise lactaid is always good if it helps you at all and you still want ice cream.

From what I can tell, Odin should still work on US devices, but I don't think that its been kept current with devices and Android versions. Most of what I'm seeing is support for Android 9.0 and later, which is pretty out of date at this point. That being said, it's not something I've messed with much, so I'm happy to defer to someone else with more direct experience.

Samsung is a separate kettle of fish in that they make things difficult while keeping the bootloader technically unlocked. Things like a lack of fastboot option, or bespoke for Samsung security changes, and a whole mess of other things. Carriers do also impose addition restrictions for locked models.

Most Motorola phones have unlockable bootloaders. The ones in their range that don't are the carrier specific models.

Motorola Moto Edge (2021)

Pros: Moto's classically lite skin with sensible additions that can be turned off if you don't want them, great battery, great performance, really just a well rounded device.

Cons: I think I legally have to mention the update cadence, and lack of long-term support, but honestly it doesn't bother me. Android versions haven't mattered much past, what, Jelly Bean? Though longer security support would be nice. Also, the camera can be a little soft, but I don't take a ton of photos so I'm rather ambivalent on it.

Honestly, I paid a good price for an unlocked device that still holds up amazingly well. I'm very satisfied.

I've been emulating this lately as I remember renting it a lot as a kid. For as bad as it could have been, it's actually like, decent as a game. Wild lol.

They've been selling NFT avatars and avatar parts for a bit now. They're not like, $1800 single unit ape pics, but they are a limited run set of digital items purchased for real money. They actually gave most people one for free like 2 years ago or something.

They never even updated the API to show ads... Like, you could've worked on that at any time, it's your own API.

Yup. I was plenty happy to pay to keep using BaconReader. Give everyone a few months to set that up and I think things would've been fine. Instead, we get basically the most ham fisted way it could've gone.

I've used BaconReader for the last 11 years, and at this point it's even hard to think about removing it from my phone. I know it doesn't do anything anymore, but it's probably been the most consistent app on every one of my devices since starting with it. Just feels weird to think about uninstalling it.

Just a heads up OP, Capcom did improve the multiplayer experience in Monster Hunter Rise. No more waiting to join a friend till after they've seen a cut scene. Honestly, makes playing with other people a lot smoother. Also, Avengers was kinda rough imo. I picked it up for about $8 a few months back after they mentioned it was going down and all the content was included, found the main story pretty meh, and gave up on getting to the DLC since it would take take a good bit of grinding to get to it. Certainly not the worst I've ever played... but wow does it leave a lot to be desired. Here's hoping you have more fun with it.

As for me: if I'm counting Friday, PowerWash Simulator dropped the SpongeBob DLC on Thursday, so I finished that out. Really fun, super high quality, though a shame it doesn't appear to have the music present. That being said, music licensing is wild, so I don't really hold it against the devs.

Planning to get back into Final Fantasy XIV some more as I've been out of it for months and just kinda wanna play it some more. It has literally been months though, so I'm super terrified of getting back into like, the actual new content. Just gotta shake the rust off I guess, so I've been cleaning up some solo stuff to get the feel back.

And since I've got the 4th off as well, probably going to tip into some Boltgun as I haven't finished it yet. It's good, but it hasn't grabbed me like some of the other boomer shooters I've played lately. Oh well.
