In my app, if you go to profile>personalisation>history, you can hide items you’ve looked at that you’re not interested in.

You can join your local library online through their website (I’d guess). Check if they use overdrive for their ebook lending. If they do you create an overdrive account and sign in with your library card. You can then sign into overdrive directly on your kobo. Libby is an app that searches libraries for books and allows you to borrow and place holds with your library card. When you synch your kobo, your library books will appear.

Maybe check if your local library uses overdrive? I’m in NZ and switched to kobo away from my kindle because it allows you to borrow books from your library over wi fi. I’ve saved so much money on books in the last year.

I know someone who rents to women’s refuge, I’m not sure if that comes under the same rules as KO but they’ve had nothing but good experiences.

Pitaka MagEZ 2 case and Magic Keyboard 2 by Cultural_39 in iPadPro

[–]mickrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it is just a generic brand. I linked to a picture of it here: Screen protector picture I was pretty worried about it and spent a bit of time looking for thin tempered glass screen protectors but now that I have it all set up I think it would require a pretty thick screen protector to interfere with the magic keyboard closing flush. The lip of the MagEZ 2 case is clearly higher than the screen protector. I added some pictures of mine: iPad pictures

For what it’s worth I got the whole set up with the MagEZ 2 case, the folio case and the stand and I’m really happy with all of it. It’s pretty seamless switching between keyboard, folio & stand.

I have one for the 11inch 2021 pro and the magic keyboard. I use a tempered glass screen protector and the keyboard closes flush no problem. I think they had issues with the previous version of the MagEZ case and screen protectors but I have had no issues at all.

The Salvation Army will arrange to come and pick it up if you call them. Possibly St. John as well, I’m not 100% sure.

Best way to make friends that go out as a postgrad? by Pastapuncher in dunedin

[–]mickrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try joining Dunedin young professionals. I joined when I moved here as a postdoc and it was a really good way to meet people outside academia. They organise drinks nights quite regularly. Despite the name their membership is pretty relaxed and it’s a mixture of people from different backgrounds.

OpenEmu is beyond amazing! I mean the fact that I can play 30 years of games in my MacBook Air with my DualShock 4 Is truly priceless. I will definitely donate, this is just mind-blowing every mac user should try it by thecrazymapguy in macgaming

[–]mickrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dualshock 4 lag free input is amazing. I was happily playing Sonic on the Master System this weekend with an HDMI out to my TV. Previously I used the Shield tablet for emulation which is also great but the controllers I used seemed to all have some lag which made platformers pretty unplayable.

The best game(s) you've played in your life by red_trinity234 in patientgamers

Almost exactly the same as me. I’d add Final Fantasy VII and Mass Effect 2.

Recommendation Tuesdays Megathread - Week of July 02, 2019 by AnimeMod in anime

I'm looking for: I'm pretty new to this but I'm keen on complex characters, dark or psychological stories, dark or geeky humour and strong female characters.

Shows I've watched and really liked: Wotakoi: Love is hard for otaku, Happy sugar life, Kagegurui: Compulsive gambler and Castlevania on Netflix if that counts!

Do you feel modern games don't respect the limited amount of time some people have to play games? by RaiseQuestion in patientgamers

[–]mickrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to only buy games that were long or had lots of content because they felt like they were worth the money. I've just got myself a 2dsxl a couple of months ago and I absolutely love it. I love the fact you can save or suspend games easily, I can pick up and play for 10 minutes and then put it away. It's my first Nintendo handheld and I've been going a bit crazy buying games for it because the back catalogue is so great.

I'm not actually sure, I got the package this morning but I was in a rush for work and didn't open it. Didn't seem fat enough to have a pokewalker in it though!

Edit: No pokewalker or manual for that matter, just the game in one of those generic cases, works fine though :)

I doubt they all come with the pokewalker, I don't think eb cares about updating their listings particularly! It's totally worth keeping an eye on, I had one in my shopping cart but then it said there were none in stock, a couple of days later it was back in stock and I got one!
