  • My partner and I left the apple ecosystem about a year ago. We got new phones and gave our old watches, airtags, and airpods to friends and family that wanted them. It felt like it was going to be too much to give up, but honestly it’s been great.

    There’s so much more freedom in every facet of the phone. Apple likes to give an option, a rich people option, and occasionally a truly professional tier. Leaving Apple behind, I have wireless earbuds I love that have an 8hr lifespan out of the dock. They were fifty dollars and they sound easily better than airpods. It felt like it would be expensive to leave, but the alternatives once you leave the ecosystem tend to be cheaper pound for pound.



  • I’d call Rock Slide a buff, probably. It’s more correct to say it’s a change or a rework, but it’s not totally a nerf. Rock Slide used to cost 3 when you had Zabu, but Marvel Snap is built to not let you count on having “the card” in your deck every game. Certainly not a turn 2 Zabu every game. Rock Slide on 3 into Dark hawk on 4 is more consistent than ever. I’d call that a positive change for the deck. Some might start dropping Zabu. Probably not, but some might try it.










  • I feel like over time No Man’s Sky feels increasingly like I have too many mods installed. Every update felt like it had its own hub and NPCs and progress track that didn’t interact with any of the others. The game is still huge and it has turned into the game everyone was disappointed it wasn’t at launch, but I felt overwhelmed on which things were part of the core story I needed to complete and which parts were rabbit holes that wouldn’t connect to that.
