  So far, my small town (120,000 people has) - KFC x2 - Popeyes - Slim Chickens - Dixy Chicken and soon a Wing Stop. And that's not counting the other fast food places with chicken on the menu. How much poultry can one town eat?

  How often do you upgrade you phone? The new iPhone launches today and, as discussed before, I'm skipping it. But that makes me wonder. Back in the 00's, I'd upgrade my phone every year. In the 10's, that drifted to 2 years. And now, in the 20's, it's moving to every three years. I'm curios to know - is that a similar experience to others here? How often do you upgrade your phone? And let me know why in the replies!

  Your food scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

  It’s been 12 hours since moving S3 provider, and everything looks great! I’m going to keep monitoring things for a week before deleting the old bucket and decommissioning the old service.

  On Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake: Hard Buy, but only on physical media. If I end up replacing my son’s switch with his own Switch 2, I want to be able to share this with him. It’s a keystone game, and I’d love for him to build core memories playing it. Besides, this is going to be pure nostalgia for me :) I really can’t justify the fancy Zelda Switch 2 though. :( #zelda

  RE: https://indiepocalypse.social/@jenny753/117077988773568845 If I didn't already have a Switch 2, I'd be getting this version. As it is, I might have to buy that new Pro controller.

  It’s taken probably half a day of research and testing, but I finally have a workable UI for #FFXIV on #nintendoswitch2. Now I just need a crap ton of practice. Huge thanks to everyone who game me amazing advice!

  So, I got #FFXIV on the Switch 2. I couldn’t use the free trial against my existing account, so I ended up getting the heavily discounted bundle. I now realise two things: - I have completely forgotten how to play bard after quitting Dawntrail at 95. - I have no idea how to play with a controller If anyone has any guides or blogs on this, I’d love to see them! At least Gpose still works ;)

  Also, the memory card I bought for my Switch 1 won’t work for the Switch 2. (micro SD vs Micro SD EX. It’s like a Pokemon Powerup.) So I’ve had to order a new one of those too. FML.

  I've been doing the Boss Rush event in #GuildWars2. Clearly, the game is dead. #sarcasm

  So, Apple hiked the price of the Apple TV 4K. The 128GB model went from £169 to an eye watering £249! (the more expensive model also has Thread for home automation and Ethernet for more reliable streaming) That felt excessive. So I looked for retailers still using the old RRP. Most are sold out. So then, to EBay. A highly rated seller is selling excess stock from a TV venture. £130. And EBay give me 30% off too! Arrived today. Brand new. Win.

  @scopique I think it got hugged offline. :(

  I need a new TV stand/unit thing. Our existing IKEA laminated chipboard monstrosity was built for an era of bluray players and slimline consoles, with drawers underneath for storage. I now want to use it to hold all our living room electronics, including a chunky wifi router and an even bigger Xbox Series X. The snag is, there are no easy options. Everything has alcoves that are too narrow, or drawer space where I need cupboards. It’s infuriating.

  A post I hoped I'd never have to write. An online friend I'd never met, and yet whose impact could be seen across the community, like ripples on a lake. A soul I wish I'd known better than I did. A silence that roars like a tempest. Tonight, I'm going to cry, and drink, and probably curse. Damn it all.

  Destiny 2 is ending, with the final content patch being pushed out on June 9th. Out of my 40+ years playing video games, this title is my biggest purchasing regret. I wish I had never been suckered into getting it at launch, or then persuading my wife to play alongside me. Since it went live, I’ve seen inept decision after inept decision, with the content vault saga being the final nail in the coffin. I won’t miss it https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/d2_may_21_2026
