Never actually owned a Sony phone, but my partner has lent me one to put my UK SIM in since swapping countries.
It's a really old model from 2014 , an Experia M4/E2303.
It's not half bad for a phone from that time considering it's that time of Samsung-Apple patenting every fucking design feature and ever other brand having to make do.
It does suffer from sort of CPU overheating but I'm thinking it's due to age since the battery life is also terrible on this after nearly 10 years.
I just miss basic things on phones like replaceable batteries, headphone jack, and not everything being coated in easily smashable glass. My mobiles have never been the latest, and I keep my Samsung S8 chugging purely for the headphone jack.

Until this thread I didn't know Halo Infinite existed - didn't know it had a free multiplayer section either.
I'll check it out, I wonder if it will be like that Halo Dewrito Online thing that was popular before MCC.

- Heavy taxes on Holiday homes, 2nd± Homes, and whatever AirBnB's are.
- Heavy Tax on property investors and multi national rental agencies which goes directly into council housing construction programs.
- Council taxes on the wealthier estates go to council property buybacks of places given out in the 70's and 80's (for countries that sold all the council housing).
- Council house construction mandated in every district or suburb. Reduce the ghettofication, stratification of class housing, and stigma of living in a council estate.
- Actual fucking livable council housing. Alterlaa in Vienna is fucking neat and it's better than most private homes in the area.
- Rent control and financial assistance for the poorest and/or minorities and/or disabled who have had a harder time getting a place.
- Abolish 'student housing' apartments. They're intentionally shit and then overcharge rent for cramped conditions when inevitably no student will bother with them.
- Landlord accountability by having them live in the same region as the rental property, contact information and their properties on public record, and government housing advice for renter's rights
- Tax the rich, offer mortgage support for first time buyers and particularly those who have only rented in their family.
- Restrict or outright ban foreign investments into housing markets unless they can prove they will also use 25% of profits to build more affordable properties in the area.
- Landlords who fail to pay mortgages on 2nd homes will have the property repossessed into the respective bank's "rental division", allowing the renter to continue living there at a negotiated rent rate, or even to take on the mortgage themselves. Alternative is government buyback programs mentioned above.
- Landlord purge day, (date to be determined), landlords are rounded up and...

Halo MCC was on sale lately and it's crossplay.
Otherwise there's Destiny I think? (Lol) and Planetside 2.

Bagel
Because it's harder for me to get poppy bagels here than a genuine Belgian waffle with sugar crystals the size of teeth.

Honestly I kind of wish Cheat would just pull the plug. The idea of a meta community like this is nice but even back when it was “active” it feels way too small and isolating of a community.
Maybe it’s just because I’m so used to 4chan levels of traffic and my ADHD brain can’t handle the snail pace but isn’t the whole point of the internet constant and fast information?
Nah, the internet is for whatever the hell you want it to be. For example, this http://www.9000.org/ has been up since 1995 and hasn't been touched since 2007. I hope it never dies. Besides, if you constant streams of consciousness, there's Discord. I think the officially unofficial one that got created for here still exists, and there's plenty of other splinter-groups. I'm sure there's even a few other offsite website forums banging around (not the Tankie one though, that one is a borderline cult). Sure, someone could even make a Mastodon instance like '@whoever.sep7agon' and get the server blacklisted from the global list when 2ndClass posts military secrets which is the fashion nowadays.

Nice to see a reputation precede this place.
Unfortunately, it's expired.

I got an all expenses paid flight and stay in some thatched roof place in the middle of England to do a conference for work last week.
Pretty gud.

Reach is my favourite Halo.
Fallout 3 is hated now? Lol ok then add it to the list. I also love Fallout 4, and particularly the settlement system which some seem to despise.
Sure, it's no New Vegas, but they all have their quirks and gems.
Brink was also the shit but it totally flopped on release. A shame, because a lot of other TF2 copies like Overwatch and Apex took the lion's share a few years later but with much less depth to it all.

My internship is turning into a job this month.
I'll get properly paid to sit in my pajamas looking at satellite images.

Closest I've gotten was buying a Fallout 4 PipBoy Edition from Psy a few years ago.
That and the few of you living *Yn Nghymru* (Psy, Ender, Big Boss iirc?) that were nearby.
Now I live waaaaay too far out of any Sep7'ers range to meet any.

Doesn't it count as a vegetable if it has no brain activity though? Could eat my weight in dead chickens and get all the vegetables I need.
By that logic Joe Rogan would be a 5-a-day super food.

A 1974 edition of Penguin Political Leaders; Mao Tse Tsung. It's dry and boring.
Flashman and the Tiger. A lot more interesting, buuut a lot more about saving Austrian Emperors and railing noble broads than I would want in a book.
Next one is gonna be The Ascent of Rum Doodle, it's supposed to be good but I bought my copy because it had a nice fictional map on it.

Yeah they're busy and I haven't seen any horse-ness. Granted they also have these massive megathreads like a rolling Discord, and they have a very low replacement rate for new users. At some point, they will go too, not that I wish it on there or here. Frankly I'm just shocked this place still lives on after what 7 or 8 years now, especially since this was such a niche community to begin with.
agreed
but then again, the mlp off-site started before us and is still very active, while not even trying to get new members
Holy shit bronies are still trending?
lol I think they stopped branding as an “mlp group” a long time ago, I just think it’s funny that’s how it started

There hasn't been a lockdown where I live since the first one ended in 2020.
Insane I've moved in the peak of 2 lockdowns, and have been through 5/6 across 3 countries since it began. The last one was literally announced last week.

It's funny because as soon as a new thread is posted people will still reply so everyone remaining is just lurking waiting for someone else to post something.
Maybe we're all bored out of our gourds. We've banned all the extremes, drama died of old age, and no one cares enough to question Verb's stances on anything or Secondclasses' somehow ever-spiralling descent. The time has passed for new folk to arrive because all of the niches and cliques within have amalgamated into the entire forum. We're all waiting for the revival that'll never happen, and I say that with some sadness considering I don't feel like I really 'know' anyone here.

If it's a perfect world, I wouldn't get bored and would be content with my 'modest' trillion years. In this perfect world I get to die in my sleep painlessly one day and that would be pretty neat too.
Seems a bit pointless to torture someone if it's a perfect world. It's a *perfect world*, so the defined time period is already built in to be perfect too.

Bit of a change for me, and then otherwise I'm gonna be working on my internships.

I'd smell like a mixture of gamersweat™, old people, coffee grounds, and lens helicoid grease.
I'd have a PS4 controller in one hand, and a screwdriver in the other. Behind me would be 2 shelves, one side with games and the other with old cameras, lenses, and parts of each.
I'd be wearing flannel/plaid over an off-white shirt, with cargo pants and slippers.
Oh, and the card would have that weird shimmery look to it for no reason.
It almost sounds like that fames Chrischan picture. Is that what you were going for?
Chrischan?
