I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. I hate going to weddings. Especially ones where I basically don’t know anyone.

It’s just full of socially awkward small talk I don’t care for, with people I’ll never speak to again in my life. What’s the point?

This is just Titanfall 2 from Wish.com. It looks terrible.

I finally removed it from the App Store, RIP. Would probably feel worse if I didn't consider the service dead too.

@thegamerstavern Yeah possibly. And in a far worst position than we were before.

Just a shame so many people in this country got tricked into this mess.

Let’s play a game. Guess the movie! 🍿

Clue: This is the opening scene.

@UKFilmNerd @harrybo93 It was definitely tricky. 😅

One of my all time favourite films.

@harrybo93 @UKFilmNerd Definitely do it!

I’ve been watching and it’s one hell of a show. Episode 5 was wild!

Anyone who is into Sci-Fi needs to check it out.

Going to skip the stream today as I’ve got a headache and just not feeling myself. May do one at the weekend or it’ll just be next Wednesday. https://mstdn.games/@EighthLayer/112286099619059668

Apple TV Plus’ For All Mankind is getting a fifth season and a new spinoff series https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/17/24133154/for-all-mankind-season-five-star-city-spinoff

@tobi82 @verge I call this kind of show Alternative History Fiction. It’s as if an event in history went a different way and you see how things may have played out in a dramatised way.

So the main premise of For All Mankind is if the Soviet Union landed on the moon first, rather than the USA. It’s one of my favourite shows so I’m glad it’s been renewed.

Boston Dynamics’ new Atlas robot is really cool with a side of “Ah hell naw!”.

@harrybo93 @BlueBlasphemy It is walking more stable that the last one though. It’s impressive, and a little scary. 😂

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

It’s stream day! :blob_cat_dance:

I’ll be continuing my “Can You Beat Crash Bandicoot Without Breaking Boxes?” challenge. Only got to level 3 last time out. Let’s see if we can get any further!

Streaming on Twitch at 8pm (UTC +1)!

:twitch: https://twitch.tv/EighthLayer

EighthLayer,
@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

@harrybo93 Yeah was going to stream yesterday but didn’t in the end.

So far I’ve done level 1 without breaking boxes. Level 2 isn’t possible without breaking I think at least one box, but I broke two. Level 3 is where I’m at and we figured out a way to get over 3 high stacks of boxes in that level, so just need to do the rest.

Outlook is actually a formidable e-mail client. It's not that bad...

I say this because I'm actually using it for the first time in a decade for school related stuff.

@britt Teams on the other hand. 😬

My wife and I woke up to the great news that our son got into the school we wanted. It was the only one we applied to considering it’s on our doorstep and we can see from our house!

It’s a primary/middle/secondary combined school so we’ll never have to worry about applying to another school again!

We’re very happy! 😁

@gary_bbgames That’s good! I didn’t realise that was a thing but it does make sense. Nice one!

I’ve started testing out alternatives to as they’re putting their prices up yet again! £20pm for Family plan now. 🙄

I’ve started with as I had a 2-month free trial, but the Windows app is trash. It keeps telling me playback has stopped on another device. It wasn’t playing on another device in the first place. Also songs just randomly stops playing or starts from the beginning again. 🤦‍♂️

Might try and next.

Anyone got any recommendations?

EighthLayer,
@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

Out of all the alternatives I’ve tested, comes out on top, but it’s still missing features I use day to day.

  • No playback transfer to other devices.
  • No support.
  • Playlists not as good.
  • No crossfade feature on mobile or playlist based playback features e.g. Rain Sounds playlist by Tidal doesn’t crossfade tracks which makes it jarring to play whilst going to sleep.

Despite the better audio quality, I’m not sure I can make the switch to Tidal.
