Old timers thread

Definitely a maybe.

I am trying to steer away from my cell phone. Over the years, smartphones have become the jack of all trades, but as the saying goes, a master of none.

When I listened to music on my phone, I streamed low quality garbage, so I got a stand alone player and listen to my collection again.

When I played games on my phone, I played crappy cell phone games, so I got a retro handheld and now play Mario, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, Rainbow Islands and all other 8 bit & 16 bit games from my youth.

When I read on my phone I read like a book every six months, so I got an e-reader and now read 20+ books a year.

I clung on to my phone for longer for internet browsing but recently got a bigger tablet with a keyboard (don't really need a laptop for the light usage I have) and it has transformed how I use the internet. Much less doomscrolling and much more engagement, I even email my parents more often

How long will this renaissance last? Not sure, this forum is still pretty dead 💀 

Hopefully we can get some decent chat going, yeah?

In the meantime, I'll look through the old reviews for inspiration of what to listen to for the first time in years 😁
