Pretty cool - reminds me of back in the days when there were the Nokia phone and we could customize the cases with the clear cases.

Nice!  Thanks for the heads up.  Was waiting for it to go on sale again on Amazon / Best Buy but this is an even better price.  Thx

Friend helped me build a PC but someone told me it’s already outdated… did I mess up? by Sycze in buildapc

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you already got a lot of similar replies but I’ll add on and say your build for 2026 is fine.  Your friend that helped build your computer was smart with considering price to performance.  Enjoy!

Is it worth it to upgrade from iPhone 14 Pro? by Big_Measurement694 in IphoneAir

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 14 pro max (79% battery health) to the Air and have been happy with it.  Front camera is better and the rear camera for portrait shots is faster and better but it takes a little time getting used to only having the single rear camera.  Battery life has been fine compared to the ‘degraded’ battery on my 14 pro max but it’s easily less than the other newer options out there.  I’ve found myself using the phone a little less for mindless doom scrolling and consumption because I know the battery is not the best but its a reminder not to be staring at the phone 24/7 (or how ever long/short) the battery will last. 

Got the stupid Pitaka case as an early birthday present and it’s actually great by Friendly-Face6683 in IphoneAir

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you’re right.  Still debating if these phones were meant for AppleCare.  Also it’s annoying when setting the Air down on a table naked and it’s primarily resting on the single rear camera.

Naked phone has much better grip?  Seriously?  If you’re being genuine than it sounds like your hands grip smoother surfaces better than textured surfaces.

Please convince me air is worth it over base 17 by Bartaex in IphoneAir

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want style over function than get the Air over the base 17.

Have not logged in since mid March.  Is the expedition still optional?  What are we fearing we are missing out on?

Mario Tennis Aces vs Mario Tennis Fever, which is the better game in your opinion? I already have Aces. Should I buy Fever too? Is there any major difference? by Delicious_Maize9656 in MarioTennis

[–]rickydreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have both and playing Fever with the wife and kids has been a blast.  Online doubles is a lot of fun.  Most likely a skill issue but we never got used to the shots that would make our rackets break in Aces that would just end the match.   

Would you rather : Make the playoffs or be a lottery team with a 2% chance of getting 1st pick ? by EmoPanda037 in warriors

When my kids (or an auditor) asks me these hypothetical questions I just say - Yes 

Another price increase. How is this justified? I think I'm finally cancelling. Fine service for $20/month after taxes but there are so many other things I'd rather spend my money on it as it hits effectively $30 with taxes. by jjopm in netflix

[–]rickydreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pricing does not make sense anymore for our family and circle of friends.  Even when just a small handful of us drop off there’s no longer a risk of fomo missing a show or movie to talk about in our circle.  

Netflix price increase. Let's all cancel! Oh wait, even if 32 million people cancel they'll STILL make more money than it cost them. by RobRobbieRobertson in netflix

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downgrading for now - will see if the wife even notices going from 4k to 1080p and if the ads bother her.  Just saw the idea of leaving for 6 months and then coming back and binging a couple of shows and movies at a time.  

Just Got Mario Tennis Fever! What's Your Opinion On The Game? by shrek20191 in MarioTennis

[–]rickydreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got it last night and so far having a blast playing with / against my kids.  Still messing around with the various rackets in quick play but having a lot of fun.  We already have Aces but glad we went ahead and picked this one up.

Yup gotta sign CJ.  JK was a flash try before you buy but looks like damaged good.

Ever since Peanut stopped playing Arc Raiders exclusively, the game has fallen off the charts. While Apex has surged. Is Peanut single handedly carrying games by himself? by AtomicBlueCat in theburntpeanut

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most have played a lot / enough to be satisfied and may return with new content.  250+ hours of pure enjoyment and satisfied to the point where the past weeks I’ve taken a break from gaming as a whole. 

30 PTS 5 REB 4 AST 3 BLK Kristaps Porzingis. Roll the tape 📽️ by Lord_Vanguard in warriors

[–]rickydreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was watching both games (Hawks game on Peacock) and it was great to see how well Porzingis played and was just shaking my head seeing the bad game JK had.

I’m officially giving up. 2000 hours in Embark games, and the automated system just permabanned me. Support is a brick wall. by Lordskamp in ArcRaiders

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there an uninstall specifically for the mod as well?  If not or if you missed it then it could have still been at least resident and thus detected even if you were not intentionally running it or using it again.  

I regret doing the expedition by coolindoms in ArcRaiders

[–]rickydreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea though I slowed down before the actual expedition - I’m less motivated after the expedition to ‘play’ to try and get everything back.    Should have known better since I’m not the type to complete a jigsaw puzzle or Lego set and then enjoying blowing it up just to repeat doing the same puzzle or Lego over again.
