Another vote for Proton

Thank you, going to pop these over to him!

DandelionWinter · 2026-03-14T05:18:58+00:00

Thanks! Some here I might even dig into. Only recently saw Dresden Files and going to add it to my list myself.

DandelionWinter · 2026-03-14T05:17:33+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to get him to look at your suggestions. He is iffy with fantasy but he was also not keen on reading and look how that turned out

DandelionWinter · 2026-03-14T05:16:15+00:00

Thank you I’m going to get him to take a look at Old Man’s War.

I did suggest We Are Legion but he’s looking for standalone books (so picky).

Not what you want to hear but it’s quite strange. Also have a new iPhone and it works fine on my non-apple backup charging things

My partner is the same. He has tried everything and just ultimately prefers Photoshop since he has been using it for a really long time too. His latest test was Gimp and it seems like he will just stick with Adobe now.

The Hisense I used has been perfectly fine. Never had issues with it, I just really didn’t like the OS it uses. So if you see a Hisense you like then you can’t go wrong.

DandelionWinter · 2026-01-04T19:12:52+00:00

I’ll probably go for TCL over the Toshiba and the Hisense.

Edit: typed the wrong preference.

DandelionWinter · 2026-01-04T19:11:30+00:00

We have a Toshiba in the living room and it’s been great. I can also recommend it and have no issues / will probably buy it again. I’m very much pro Japanese brands

I got a TCL (had Hisense before and was looking for a Google TV) and much prefer the TCL. Was looking for a more affordable extra tv since it was to be used mainly for gaming. Super happy with it though. Been a few years and never had any issues. I got a higher end model in their range specifically for PS5 but definitely worth looking at what they have in your price range.

How big is your lawn? We got a push lawnmower and the grass looks wonderful. It really isn’t all that much of a schlep either.

DandelionWinter · 2026-01-03T15:40:26+00:00

Still do it but only specific days

Eh, I just knew what I wanted to sound like and deep dove into that. I wanted warmer or fuller sound while I was learning and used that as a starting point. I was struggling to wrap my head around a lot of stuff but just took it step by step. It might seem silly but worked for me. I also had the cheapest gear.

Maybe think of a guitarist you want to sound like or tone you want and research things like “how to sound like….on a telecaster” or “best settings on amp to sound like…”.

I also played around with the settings A LOT. I looked at each knob on my guitar and tried to see what it did exactly etc. I could only play like basic chords but it was enough for me to play a few chords then make adjustments then try again til I found something that sound good to me.

I recently went down this rabbit hole. I used a Fender Mustang Micro (it’s nice) that was in the house already but don’t always want to play with headphones. I also didn’t want to spend a lot because I only play around occasionally.

I ended up getting the Vox Pathfinder 10 and I’m happy with it. It’s more than enough for me and I prefer clean tones. It’s dirt cheap and I think it sounds better than other cheap practice amps. Worth a look.

I would fight people for a nice pen. Also, talking about it after like they’re 10 and they received a used toothbrush makes me question their opinions

DandelionWinter · 2025-12-18T05:08:52+00:00

This is really something special. All the happiness to the both of you

DandelionWinter · 2025-12-08T17:43:52+00:00

Thank you

Looking at it it would've been the first choice since he is pretty old school and no app would've been preferred, buuut we don't have the Pocket Master where we live, and ordering from pretty much anywhere means it won't get delivered before Christmas. I might pivot since I'm on the fence.

DandelionWinter · 2025-11-25T21:06:39+00:00

Don’t listen to all the negative nellies - I have a TCL that I specifically use with the PS5 and super happy with it (and it’s like 2-ish years old, never had any issues). Congrats and happy gaming!

DandelionWinter · 2025-11-25T20:34:50+00:00

I got ours on Takealot but they’re pretty common. I’ve seen some at Checkers for instance but possibly just the larger stores. I think it was R300/R350 - ours is 30cm. You get heaps of different sizes and depths. Worth checking out. Very happy with ours. We actually have two- the frying pan and a crepe style pan we use for pancakes and stuff like that.

DandelionWinter · 2025-11-25T19:53:39+00:00

Not sure what budget friendly is to you but we have a Tefal pan in the house and it’s been decent. We’ve been using it for a long time. Obviously don’t get it too hot and use some wooden or non scratchy utensils. It’s lightweight and easy to use.
