I only play music whenever I am less busy or I don’t have a particularly engaging task to do. But when I have to be serious with why I am engaging in, I find music distracting.

Is that the same for you?

what's the last show, movie, etc. you watched on TV?

My wife and I currently own a cassette player that she bought off of amazon about a few years ago. She mainly got it because she still has old cassette tapes from her childhood, I've started converting the audio to digital files since we have a device that allows us to plug in external devices to our computer. We don't own any music cassettes, but I might get a few vaporwave albums on cassette since a lot of artists release their music on vinyl and cassette.

Assuming you have all the skills required to build a game right now, what type of game are you going to make? Also, what is that unique feature that you will add in that game that wasn't in most games in the same niche?

We've got the story, the gameplay, side quests, spending real money to buy games, but when it comes to playing games, the opportunity to make more friends is what I like more about playing games. It is a thing of joy when I make friends who play the same game that I enjoy. What about you?

It would look as if more men are into playing video games than their female counterparts. So, it's safe to say that the video game playing universe is dominated by men but it doesn't we don't have expert female gamers too because there are many of them.

How would you rate men's dominance in the gaming universe?

I don't think there's anyone who's on the internet today, uses smartphone and laptop/desktop computer that doesn't own at least one Gmail account. People are known to own multiple accounts because Google makes it 100% free to create and use a mail account.

Do you make use of multiple Gmail accounts?

There's an Android alternative operating systems that you can install on your Google Pixel if you don't want to use android. It's called Graphene OS, I wish other Android devices were compatible with the OS but they're not. There are rumors that the people behind the OS are working on getting phones shipped with the OS already installed, so you don't have to get a Pixel and flash it yourself. Do you currently use this OS on your phone?

My wife and I watched this movie last weekend, and it's a good one! The movie is based on a guy who is held hostage by one of his coworkers after his coworker does something to the other employees in the burger joint they both work at. It seems to be set sometime in the mid 00's too. Also this film isn't the same Passenger film that was just released a week ago btw, this one came out three years ago.

Not looking for the usual "I started going to the gym" answers. More curious about the small, almost boring stuff that ended up making a real difference over time. Could be a morning routine, how you manage your phone use, whatever. What's something you do now that you can't imagine dropping?

For me, I started avoiding screen time around 30 minutes before bed. I no longer sit in bed scrolling, I plug my phone to charge and either read or listen to music to go to sleep. It has helped a lot, I've noticed my sleep has improved and I'm able to give my brain and eyes more of a rest instead of doom scrolling.

During the Xbox Showcase event a brand new Spyro the dragon game was announced titled "Spyro: A Realm Beyond."

Will you be getting this when it comes out because I know I am!

We are in a cashless economy today because so many transactions are carried out online. This have made it less attractive for most people to keep huge amount of money at home. Although, some people still keep a lot of cash at home in their safe.

Dating apps is very common in this modern era of Gen Z. It's why so many of those sites are existing today. I can remember when Facebook dating is mostly used for such purpose but now, there are hundreds if not thousands of them like Tinder and others.

Have you ever used any dating apps or sites?

If you could travel to any planet, which planet would you like to travel to? And why that planet?

What I've noticed with a lot of people around me is that some of them operate much better in the morning while there are those who are always active at night. I am mostly active in the morning time since I sleep early every night. So, giving me any task for the night is never good for me.

generally speaking, I like to keep my expenses down, so most of the time I use default theme. If I find a good free theme, I might also use them but buying a theme for my forum is out of question.
What about you, do you buy premium theme?

Who has built a computer? How much did it cost? What was your strategy? How would you compare pre-built to homemade?

Has anyone just strongly or mildly considered building a computer?

A lot of people write off creative hobbies as something you either grew up doing or missed the window on. I think that's completely wrong. What's something creative you got into later in life and ended up being genuinely glad you tried? Could be drawing, writing, music, photography, anything.

For me, I enjoy writing so I started writing some short stories here and there, nothing concrete or publish-worthy, but something I can hold on to, build off of, and maybe share to my kids in the future.

I've seen a lot of new tech come out that has been incredibly overhyped, whether it's a new pair of headphones, TV, computer, etc. What comes to mind instantly is the Apple Vision Pros. This was so overhyped, all over YouTube when it first came out and then lost all its hype after a few weeks and people started to return them. But every now and then something actually delivers. What's one tech purchase you made or someone else you know made that genuinely exceeded your expectations?
