Except the endangered pedestrians aren’t the buyers… The rules are to protect the pedestrians from buyers that value their purchase above the safety of others

Java can only eat RAM up to a limit. So while it is memory hungry, it won’t be randomly “eating all your RAM”. Rather, more predictably it’ll eat a lot more of your RAM than you’d like.

No. Unless there’s a bad update… Every few years.

Shhh.

Now if the phoenix had a link to someone named Jones we’d really have something here.

Then you may be in luck.

I played the hell out of Populous and Populous II back in the day… Including a fair bit of multiplayer too - running a link cable between Amigas in our flat.

I wonder if I’d enjoy an upscaled port today as much as I did then.

It requires careful preparation to really enjoy.
Storage is easy though.I like to keep a whole shelf of the stuff.

Preferably in a building, maybe a store, a properly safe distance from where I shop just in case anyone accidentally discovers it and brings some home…

Definitely B5. For all of its issues it’s one I still enjoy.

With the way it’s measuring up today for performance and battery life, if it were going to keep getting OS updates and security updates it’d keep being a great phone for another couple of years yet.

…And compared to some I know, I’m updating frequently.

I really do wish they’d squeeze another 1-2 OS updates into it’s life-span. But at this rate I’ll still be replacing it with whatever its up-to-date peer is in another year or so…

…and re-purposing this one - it’s still awesome (awesomer if it allowed root without losing updates and pay-services)

I poured way too much time into Rogue, Moria, Angband and Zangband back in the day… Sad to see Zangband completely disappeared - no idea if there’s a similar flavour floating around.

Played a couple of newer more graphical (and probably better balanced games) but I actually found them less engaging.

My son was madly into Shattered Pixel Dungeon for a while.
