Is this now just a meme sub?

Interesting to know that all Hario papers are now made in the same Japanese factory. In his last video on papers I remember him saying that there were two factories in Japan and one in the Netherlands, each with different properties.

“Metroid Prime Hunters & Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Trademarks Renewed by Nintendo”

Decent performances all around, but still the usual received series problems of the story being rushed through and painfully underdeveloped characters (Pex Jr and the villain in particular were very 2D, and poor Sash 55 was almost comically formulaic).

Saying that I LOVED Belinda Chandra! I got some serious Barbara Wright vibes from her; she looks like she can can really stand up to the Doctor and be a character in her own right!

Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

The Sega Mega CD and the 32x were genuinely great pieces of hardware…but nearly all the games were awful. I love the Mega CD in particular, and I say that as a Nintendo kid.

UK here, stuck with only Channel 4 showing it with the English dub and yikes…that was just awful. There were several times where I thought “That was the best take you had?” While not as unintentionally comical as the “Uzumaki” dub it still just took me right out of the experience. The original Japanese soundtrack has some genuine VA legends including Mamoru Miyano, Megumi Hayashibara, and Koichi Yamadera…while the English dub seems to be a bunch of bored teenagers cold reading the script.

Hopefully Channel 4 will eventually add the original Japanese track, but I don’t think they ever did for “Uzumaki”, or maybe Crunchyroll will get it eventually. I’d rather not have to sail the seven seas.

But for now I won’t be going back for episode 2.

When are they bringing back the frog?

It’s a shame Google seems to be doing away with the camera bar, I really liked it. A good bit of obvious brand identity, plus it meant that the phone didn’t wobble when placed flat on a table! What a concept! It’s already gone on the Fold 9 and now looks to be gone in upcoming phones. It’s still spans enough of the back on those cases that it might still eliminate phone wobble at least…but it makes the phone look more generic.

If buyers can handle whatever X Box’s naming convention is then I’m sure they can handle previous gaming console name plus one.

I hope this comes to Google’s foldables too. I rarely need more than the two apps I can currently split screen, but something like Open Canvas so would certainly add more flexibility.

Metroid Prime 2 is the only main Metroid game I’ve still not completed. The whole light/dark mechanic was just so joyless and punishing. I’ll still be buying this and giving it another go; a few quality of life tweaks and this could be enjoyable.

That phrasing caught my eye too; no mention of Switch hardware being playable on the successor. I’m just being overly cautious for now but given how eager Sony and Microsoft seem to be to drop physical games we can’t assume cartridges will be supported just because they say that Switch software will be playable.

“It was a tough decision, because as a character, you see basically half the population loves him, and half the population has a different feeling of him. And we didn’t want to only cater to one side.”

So…you catered to only one side…the wrong one.

Why not just include a Froggy toggle?

Sorry, I missed this comment until now. Thanks for the tip, I’ll check Zen out.

The multi window feature I mentioned in Chrome is for foldable phones. Chrome allows you to open two separate instances and have them on either side of your screen; much like you can do on a desktop. I love the multi tasking aspect foldable phones allow, but very few apps allow you to have two instances of them running like that.

Firefox because it’s plugins make mobile browsing bareable. I have a folding phone so I wish that Firefox would hurry up and copy Chrome’s multi window feature, and then it would be the perfect browser for me.

I use Firefox on desktop too, but I’ve been experimenting with Arc the last few weeks to see what the fuss is about.

It’s live on my Pixel Fold. UK here.

Not really sure I see the point in the lens controls. Does it change the way the pictures are processed, or does it just remove the ability to “zoom” between the lenses?

I used to use this one…but for some reason I just never found any of the settings made it as noticeable and useful as an actual notification LED so I just switched to using an always on display.

I too miss notification LEDs…yet another thing sacrificed to the alter of bezelless design.

This. Once a week I leave the razor to soak briefly in hot soapy water while I give my brush a bit of a clean, then I come back to it and give it a once over with a toothbrush. It’s shiny and clean and ready for the week ahead.

Another vote from me for out and almond milk. If you do any kind of milk steaming or latte art then oat is great for that…and I just like the flavour of almond milk. It’s really nice with breakfast cereals too as it adds a nice nutty flavour to everything.

There is nothing wrong with Soy milk, but with coffee you have to be careful you don’t curdle it due to the high temperature.
