I'm still enjoying Starfield. It, for me, is more fun than Fallout because it isn't a dystopia. The random encounters are fun - TWuG Nov 13, 10:02 3
- Same. I'm about to start building a base somewhere after acquiring my first ship. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 10:12

Not a brand loyalty thing, but similar. I love books. That used to mean I loved physical books. Now I read everything on Kindle. - TWuG Nov 13, 09:52 8
- I practice "Amish time" before bed: no electronic devices, no TV, no computer. So e-readers are not a great option for me. -- nm - Baron the Contrarian Nov 13, 10:52
- yep. I initially thought a paperwhite would be good for reading away from home, very quickly embraced it for almost all reading years ago now. I still - i.b.! Nov 13, 10:15
- same here :) -- nm - decline Nov 13, 10:03
- I'm the same. Reading on the Kindle is especially important when some of my selections are side-eye inducing or generally not available otherwise. - Qale Nov 13, 09:58
- I'm similar, but I still like the experience of reading a heavy book, sitting around, late at night. - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 09:55 3

      - I almost knocked some teeth out with a laptop in bed once. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 10:41
Apple versus PC: I use Apple because Windows is a pile of dog shit, and the PC hardware situation is even worse. - Beryllium Nov 13, 09:52 11

  - I've used every version of windows since 3.1 - the only good one was Windows 2000 Professional. - Beryllium Nov 13, 10:04 4
    - (Now, to be fair, my exposure to 7 through 11 is very limited, but the annoyances all seem to be there. Now with ads!) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 10:05 3
      - Sounds like operator error. I rarely have issues with my PC and I don't recall any ads. - sycor Nov 13, 10:30 1
        
        It's a synesthesia thing. The feel of the interface weighs on me in indescribable ways. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 10:43

  - He only has one pair of shoes, so... -- nm - Spawn Nov 13, 09:42 2
    - What can I say, I'm a creature of habit. I also basically wear the same 7 or 8 shirts for work for fall/winter and another set for spring/summer -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 09:45 1
      - I have 6 or 7 *main* shirts. But I mix in others a lot. -- nm - Spawn Nov 13, 11:23
