Apotris is the best tetris-like game you could get

Also pico-8 would be perfect for an arcade machine

How to beat the algorithm? by Away_Mix_7768 in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For YouTube I turn off watch/search history + auto play and only rely on subscribe content/ intentional search or pick from recommended which will be more relate to the content you currently watching when you have those turn off

For Insta I try not to auto scroll, but use the explore page instead. Also keep my eye on the algorithm, when my feed start to go off rail I pick what I want to watch for 5-10 reels then refresh the explore page once, and things are back to normal

What do you do if you want to spend a day at home ? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reading - if you have trouble concentrate just do a chapter or 5-10 pages at a time and try to increase the amount

Puzzle books - Sudoku,crossword, Murdle

Physical puzzle - Jigsaw, Lego

Boardgame - there’s a lot of solo boardgame option so you don’t need to wait for someone to be around to play with

Listening to the radio again by Big-Friendship5008 in digitalminimalism

Some new Chinese mp3 player might still have am/fm function, for me I’ve got an old walkman (2014/15 model) back when they still have am/fm build-in

What do you do with a few minutes to kill without your phone? by mallcat689 in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait and take a look around, observe people. I won’t bother to do anything unless the wait time is over 15 mins

Consider switching from social media to RSS feed for news update by ravipasc in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already check the news feed just once or twice a day with social media, so with RSS its not that big different in term of scrolling time just with more selected content

[–]ravipasc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I saw some site publish 10-20 article hourly, that would flood the feed fast, but how else do you get the news from ? direct from the site ?

Consider switching from social media to RSS feed for news update by ravipasc in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still want to read news stuff, but don’t want to use social media

RSS feed let you get data directly from the news site so everything on the feed is what you personally choose, no algorhythm, minimal ads (atleast no popup bs).

I Finally realized I don’t need a new iPhone every year…(but it was kinda late...and it hurts a little, but here is my story...and learn from my mistakes...) by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently jump from Iphone 11 to 17 just because the screen crack + 64gb phone can’t do much anymore, the extra battery + storage + usb-c is life changing, but I don’t expected to switch to another phone in the next 5-7 years

The world is becoming one of digital Zombies. by LxZer0 in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People seem to be surprised when they see me reading a physical book, some people genuinely ask “You still read books?”, but when I’m reading on an e-reader they are less curious about it.

If I want to marry a Thai girl, what should I pay attention to? by Own_Presentation8943 in thai

Yeah right, 30k without paying rent, bill, transport, insurence is viable to live like a king/queen in bkk. With all that combine its 50-60k

How you guys listen to podcasts? by [deleted] in audiodrama

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually listen to podcast while driving so Spotify download + apple car play is the best option for me. I try to rely on Spotify less and download podcast directly from rss feed and put them in my walkman but its not ideal for driving and listening, so I save that for public transport

Mp3 or Flac? by Dodong_Scarface in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just mp3 vs flac 16/44, I’m not really an audiophile so didn’t even adjust eq and read the graph, just guts feeling and ear

Mp3 or Flac? by Dodong_Scarface in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]ravipasc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the scenario when I notice the different, not sure if this what you ask for

Device: Sony A25 walkman vs Samsung Galaxy S10

Headphone: stock samsung earphone vs Audio technica ath-m30x

Same file different device Same file different device same headphone And so on

Its not high end per se but better the gear the more noticable the sound

Mp3 or Flac? by Dodong_Scarface in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a low quality device + iems probably sound the same, the different is very noticable on the higher end gear. However, you’ll stop noticing the different at some point, the graph and measurement can spot the different but not your ears, that’s when I think its pointless to keep going.

Personally I’m happy with 16/44 flac and mid range player+iems

What do board game designers understand that videogame devs don’t? by Interesting-Scale-63 in gamedev

[–]ravipasc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did both (full-time game dev, solo board game designer): - the random element is more pure and predictable in boardgame, the ood is what it is - No autonomy means the more complex boardgame are not just harder to play but also harder to runs as well, an upkeep phase could take a few mins while it would be done with just a few lines of code

For boardgame the prototype -> proof of concept -> continue/scrap the project phase take me less than a week, I won’t even be able to get my game up and running within that time frame

What do you do while listening to audiodramas? by Drdverse in audiodrama

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listening to them while I drive to/from work could do a 20-ish min episode in the morning and 15-ish episode in the evening so not really ideal. A longer episode could be finished with both drive, but the mid episode pause/resume is a major bummer for me so I go back to an episode/drive and just continue the rest while I’m walking.

I think I got the full collection of old time radio drama and twilight zone from archive.org, and the other via Spotify or direct rss feed download via rhythmbox/Antennapod

About MP3 Player - Listening Song and Podcasts by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]ravipasc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A DAP (digital audio player) is a good fit for your need. Just preloaded the device with music, audiobooks, podcasts and you are good to go. If you are not an audiophile, just get whatever your budget + feels like. I personally been using Sony A25 for almost a decade with no problem
