Notepad++ is my text editor of choice as someone who just edits the occasional file. I’m not a programmer or anything, but it’s nice to have those autocomplete and syntax highlighting features for config files. Helps me keep track of stuff better when editing.

You’re absolutely right and I forgot that for a moment there.

On your phone (and other devices) you can also use a DNS adblocker. Less effective, but good for most people.

Mullvad.

Control D.

AdGuard.

ETA: This usually doesn’t work on YouTube. Sorry for any confusion. Works decently enough for other ads at least.

Always good to have options. People need to find whatever works for them.

I have similar issues with YouTube in Firefox on Windows. But I think my aging laptop might just be having trouble loading the script-riddled site more than anything.

Unofficial Freetube for Android.

I’m personally using p2.freedns.controld.com for anyone looking for an alternative.

I’ve heard of enough people wanting ads too. And people complaining that they want them back after they were blocked.

It gets harder and harder to have any faith in humanity these days.

Turns out it was on my phone too. Uninstalled and reported as inappropriate. Fuck Google

Opera Mini isn’t what it used to be. Became an absolute resource hog with all the spyware and extra shit stuffed in. Back then it was a solid option for those of us that couldn’t afford all the mobile data needed to surf the web. Now it’s just a personal data hoovering POS.

Try and fail to look rugged. They just end up looking like the douche nozzles they are.

And get real professionals to design and build future models.

Like most things, you’re just “an idiot” until you figure it out. Like any skill, the more you practice the better you get. Just take the time to understand it better and it will start making more sense eventually.

Did you have an SSD? Was the game and DLC installed on said SSD? Do you have one now if you didn’t before? This may be the difference between 2 hours and only 1.

This kind of thing is literally a case of “why not?” It’s challenging and fun for the creator most likely and also insanely cool when it’s done successfully.

I don’t have any recommendations myself, but anything that you can pick up and play in short bursts would be best for this I think.

Pretty much any console that your phone can emulate is an option. That gives you your pick of whatever consoles and genres you like within the capabilities of your phone basically.

Was coming here to mention emulation as well. I don’t own a Deck, so not sure how it does with PS2 emulation, but if it’s good then OP could just play the MC games instead of alternatives.

Seriously, FUCK YOU if you peddle this hussle culture grindset bullshit. I feel so sorry for the poor souls that fall for this shit because no one ever taught them any better.

Meaning this game will be MORE THAN $100 Canadian and still sell like hotcakes.
