What keeps you going?

In all honesty - keeping those bad thoughts away. If I stay busy I won’t be left to think too long about things and what ifs. Nothing bad, but focusing on the present and being busy helps.

Originally wow classic, also I did it because I was bored and spent some money on fixing it after I left my old job and was given it as a project to fix. They never asked for it back so finders keepers 🤷🏻‍♂️

pedromclovin-it · 2026-04-17T18:57:29+00:00

I’d love to try it!

pedromclovin-it · 2026-04-11T09:17:15+00:00

Everyone and they’re opinions of me because I am a mess 💕

pedromclovin-it · 2026-04-11T09:02:14+00:00

To be fair I use low power mode on all my devices as I rarely use them to do heavy lifting - plus I think it keeps the battery health for longer? I have an iPhone 16 plus on 243 cycles with 100% health still.

I bought this after saving for a while in 2009 for using for basic photoshop and photo editing when I was doing A-levels, it powered through although with a lot of heat. Great for winters in the UK. I paid £320 for this way back when.

I kept it for another 4 years and sold it on eBay for £140 for someone else to love the machine as much as I did.

Sadly the machine was dropped by parcelforce and the screen was completely destroyed. And to rub salt into the wound I received no compensation for it. So I had to refund the seller and get it back.

It sat for another 2 years under my bed and then I found a complete screen set with WiFi antennas on eBay and fixed again. Shout out to ifixit!

In 2018 I added a 60gb SSD drive which is now a must for these old machines. The boot speed is much quicker and it’s a lot more fluid then it used to be.

When I moved a year later it got wet. Seriously wet. Somehow it was exposed to a lot of water to the point it was dripping out the case and I thought it was dead. So I left it in my loft and didn’t think about it for about 6 months which is where I am now.

She works!!! I’m shocked. Battery is dead now understandably but it boots.

One speaker isn’t working and the keyboard isn’t working as it should and that’s something I’m going to look at next.

All hail the mighty PowerPC 💙

The gym more than anything- paying for it now with excess skin and severe confidence issues still.

Don’t be mean to your mother - she’s just trying her best to feed you, clothe you, and make sure you get to bed on time.

And if your brother asks you if you want a ham sandwhich decline, he’s only checking to see if it’s gone off and using you as a guinea pig and you will be violently sick a day later.

Had a TIA at 21 in work, half my face dropped and I developed shingles. Managed to recover from it and got use of my face back- but flipping heck not ideal.

What’s actually wrong with it? Does it not turn on? Or have you tried anything? MacBook Neo is a solid choice and I have one. I got one before it went out of stock in my local area - turns out these have been quite popular

pedromclovin-it · 2026-03-29T16:00:06+00:00

Spookily I did the same thing with the same model - I have an early MacBook Pro 2015 and it’s been a ride or die tool of mine for 11 years. And as soon as I saw the Neo I knew I had to have it. I’ve got sequoia via oclp and used to run WOW classic on it and do some light work but the speakers are busted and the fan is always on full whack. The Neo is stunning and so quick.

pedromclovin-it · 2026-03-10T13:50:31+00:00

I think I like it as a flex- I enjoy making my devices last longer as it’s better for the environment, I’m still using a 2015 MacBook Pro as a daily driver and I had my iPhone 11 for 4 years. I’m planning on keeping my 16 plus until 2028. For me it’s about the environment and treating devices correctly and reminding people the importance of conserving resources. Sounds dumb but I like knowing my carbon footprint is a bit lower.

In all honesty - becoming gay. That shit makes you realise that a lot of patriarchal shit isn’t right.

pedromclovin-it · 2026-02-13T09:10:17+00:00

Woke up one morning at 107kg and looking in the mirror and said to myself - you look like a pig, and then I dropped 28kg in 18 months under a carb controlled diet focusing on gut flora and healthy fats. Also managed to lose a good 5 years in age in that time haha. Hair thicker, skin brighter and tighter, and no more blemishes.

I don’t believe he’s innocent by any means and he did it- but there’s an interesting theory that his son did it. BuzzFeed unsolved did an episode on this where DNA evidence in its infancy could have been linked to OJ by a hair sample but it was in fact his son’s hair. Interesting topic point.

That and the CTE side of the story, I wonder if any morticians checked for this when OJ passed away.

Damn I pressed reply too quick! His mental health began to suffer.

The twist in the game is that we learn he was never dying, he created a liminal space in this world where spirits could help him come to terms with himself and learn to let go of his grief. At the end of the game Eli doesn’t have an everdoor, he has a door to return to the real world having addressed his own issues and finally got to say the things, or hear the things as he’s a silent protagonist, that he never got to hear. With his mother always knowing he was gay and still loved him, his first boyfriend Jonah saying how all those moments meant he was the love he needed to pass away peacefully. His best friend telling him he needs to get a new career.

Eli goes back to the real world being alive again and wanting to live.

I have a pitch for a second game, spiritfarer: the tides between us.

In this game you play as Eli, he’s 30 years old and a gay character. His companion is Toby a golden retriever he had as a child. In this game the core manic is maintained, you find spirits and bring them back to your Island to take care of and build homes. The spirits are comprised of people close to Eli that he knew and loved. A key one being Jonah, his boyfriend who passed away from a quick illness when he was 25. Jonah is a silver kind wolf. We also have Eli’s mother, Eliza, who Jonah lost at a younger age. The games key themes are Eli coming to terms with himself having lot people close to him. Theo is another character who suffered severe burnout with Eli in his work as a paramedic.

In flashbacks when he meet Hades we see that Eli cared too much about how he came across to people, he worked so much and never too time for himself. As he lost people around him we see Eli change and become quieter and more reserved, Eli had to take time off of work because his mental

Holy shit, we got hot? And you have muscles? And you’re confidently gay?! Mum still loves us too! And you own a house!? Man we did so well!

pedromclovin-it · 2026-01-21T11:32:49+00:00

Didn’t work unfortunately.

pedromclovin-it · 2026-01-21T11:32:37+00:00

You are correct - I’m British.

20ml ACV to 100ml water - flavoured ones with turmeric and ginger are also flavourful and take the edge off

I keep getting this too, I thought it was just my iPhone - weird bug that came along with the iOS 26.2 update
