@Vinny Not really. Games still cost $60 each, it can still be laggy at times, has less games then Xbox Game Pass, The recommended Controller is very meh, etc. I guess that there are more modern day titles than the competition, but with Xbox buying Bethesda and Game Pass having way more benefits, just get Game Pass Ultimate, there's more value, plenty of the games are on XCloud, you can play it on your TV through and HDMI to (Phone Connector) or Android TV, you get Xbox games day one, Bethesda Games Day One starting 2021, EA Play is included for free starting November (With Streaming), soon you can stream to your pc, there are plenty of indies, you don't need an Xbox to play Game Pass (as long as you have an Android Phone and a controller), you have many more options on Controllers, including the Dualshock 4 and maybe the Switch Pro Controller, and it's only $15 a month, and you don't have to pay extra on Seperate Games.

@Link-Hero He's autistic. So, I think it's a little bit of both. He was born with mild damage to his brain, but his diagnosis may play a bigger part in that role.

The little bit I mentioned above happened early this year. We were raised learning sign-language but I never got the hang of it. Neither did my mute brother. He's still living with my parents (Only 14) so I don't have to worry too much about him for a while.

Well I certainly haven’t been here much recently. Moving back into work is taking energy, so I haven’t had time. I really only joined this in May for something to do in Quarantine.

I've been eagerly waiting for my new iPod, and started using the old family iPad again, just for nostalgic fun. It's a first generation iPad, so it's... Severely outdated. Like a little time capsule. It has that charm to it.

Much to my surprise, Netflix is still entirely and perfectly compatible with it. That's so odd because youtube refuses to load anything. Huh. Several older games also work quite well on it.

It's hard to believe it's just 10 years old, it definitely feels older! All things considered, it's in excellent shape though. That's good.

Are those smart bands like the Mi Band good if I just want a device to see the hours and count my steps, or are those fancier smartwatches with more features a better value?

I watched the US presidential debate.

I should've stayed in my room.

But I can confidently say that even the youngest students I have taught are better behaved.

@Heavyarms55 Must have been a cringefest, no?

I just watched most of the debate. I learned that Trump doesn't understand what "Two minutes of uninterrupted speaking time" means"

@Vinny I have a huawei watch gt 2 and it’s quite nifty, it has all the usual smart watch activity stuff, and I can use it to make and answer calls without taking my phone out. And it wasn’t super expensive, which is a big plus.

It also has some on-board storage if you want to add some music, a speaker, and it can be connected to wireless earphones so you can realistically use it as a small music player without having to carry your phone around... I think you do need to connect it to a phone first to transfer the music there though.

Though I have to admit that my favorite feature is that I can use it to find my phone...

@Vinny I don't know how else I can be more clear: I taught elementary and jr. high kids, the western equivalent of grade 5-9. And even the most rowdy and rude kids could handle waiting two minutes while someone else spoke.

I don't even know why Trump was speaking over Biden through that entire debate. Let senile Biden talk on his own; he'll make a fool of himself with his own words. But Trump can't help himself; he needs to throw haymakers every opportunity he gets. Another thing is in all my life; I have never have seen a debate where one of the candidates(Biden) calls the president a "clown" and a "racist." Children both of them.

This whole election is exhausting; I can't wait for it to be over.

Even as a spectating Canadian I love how much of a ***** show American politics devolve into

I come for the SNL material and stay for the bickering and backtalking of two children in dress suits

@MsJubilee lmao 90% of it was Biden gloating about his son. Trump butting in actually made things entertaining af

I think we should stop talking about that.

Had a look at some reviews... It does look really slick.

@Vinny yeah I quite like it. And it looks pretty much like a regular watch, which I appreciate.

@Eel Great, that lowers its stealability factor.

@Northwind I don't know about that. Neither of them said how many times they banged each other's mother the prior night and there weren't as many racial slurs.

But... yeah it came close.

@Vinny I'll second the watch recommendation. The Ticwatch line is good value, too. I've got a Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle as a present (it was on sale, but still $160). I definitely use my watch more than I thought I would.

Ya’ll may notice Anti logged out. I feel bad for him. He was incredibly annoying and rude to people, but I still feel bad.
