How did people poop before smartphones were invented?
  • My grandparents had like a basket full of magazines, comic books, etc beside the toilet. It was pretty good. They often buy weekly reader's digest and stuff like that. So it was usually new every time we visit.

  • Do deaf people play media with sound on?
  • I'm Deaf and don't care for sounds or the bass most of the time. That's just me though. I know some Deaf people who love listening to music with headsets or playing video games with headsets. There's a spectrum.

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • Sadly no, I gave away my 42" CRT away to buddy's relative who was poor and I didn't have any space.

    It looks pretty bad in my 1080 ledtv. But even then, I still find myself replaying N64 games over and over.

    You know, I have like bunch of games on my pc but I can't get hooked on any of them like I do for old Zelda games. Altho I did get hooked on botw and totk. Maybe it's Zelda games.

    I need to find other Zelda-like games maybe. Any suggestions?

  • What are your favorite racing games?
  • Diddy Kong Racing on N64. There's no other that come close for me.

    You can use either vehicle, hovercraft or plane. Depending on the tracks. Some tracks you can try using any of them. Some are vehicle specific.

    You have somewhat open world for you to run around in any of those vehicles mentioned above.

    Like in Mario Kart, instead of boxes for you to hit to get items. You hit balloons, and they're all colored with specific usages. Like red is a rocket, blue is a boost, etc. However, if you hit same color balloon twice or thrice your item upgrade. Like 1 red balloon = 1 rocket, 2 red balloons = homing rocket, three red balloons = 30 rockets for you to spam away. If you hit two different balloons, newest balloon override over your last. There's no blue shell bullshit in this game tho, that's either positive or negative for some folks.

    There's mini games, one which I think is really underrated: Dino egg mini game , one where you have to grab egg, drop it in your nest and protect it until you hatch it. You can attack others and steal eggs. You need to hatch three to win the game. You have to find hidden key in one of racing track to unlock the mini game.

    And you get to face the boss of each area, each boss has their unique mechanics. You face them 1v1.

    Once you beat all tracks, you can do them again but with coin challenge where you gotta gather all coins and win the race. Some tracks are insane hard to point where you have to strategy which coins to take each laps and deal with other racers at the same time. And what's the worse is the fact that other racers doesn't care about coins. You have to get all coins and be in first place to clear the track.

    Once you beat all coin challenges, you get to battle bosses again which are harder, then you unlock the final boss.

    There's also a tourney you gotta do in each area to unlock secret area with new tracks and harder final boss.

    That's it? Nope, you get to start all over again with the tracks flipped and other racers are harder. Then you gotta do bosses, coin challenges too.

    And one final thing, prob one of hardest to do is time challenge. Beat that and you unlock final unlockable character. There's two unlockable characters in the game.

    Imagine that single cartridge of N64 got all of this, this could have been much more if Nintendo purchase Rare. I could never get into Mario Kart because of Diddy Kong Racing. Compared to DKR, Mario Kart on N64 is a joke to me.

    I still play N64 from time to time, I love to replay Zelda games, banjo, etc and of course Diddy Kong Racing.

  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead
  • I'm pretty new to this sort of stuff. I was planning to buy Google Pixel 8 sometime in November when they usually have sales. And install GrapheneOS. I never used this type of stuff before.

    So will I have some trouble installing some stuff like some of mobile games, banking app, emails, etc? I'm in Canada if this help.

  • Had lots of fun in pre-season RTA.

    Especially when I get to own some tryharder with fun comp.

    Anyone else loving Brieg?

    I feel like he's so underrated.

    People keep say I'm coping but he's so good. I got him on counter/imm set. 22k hp, 1.4k def, 180 speed, 40 eff. With leftover gears, at 380ish gs. And he works pretty good with elbris. It's really cool when he counter and goes s1-s3. He hurts a lot.

    And he works really good in pve too, doing episode 5 with him and don't get me to start on expos.

    I'll have to grind for better gears, I'll aim for 420+ gs.

    I wish this community is more active like it was in reddit.

    Seems like they're not planning to switch over to fediverse unfortunately...

    Deaf Vlogging Groups in Facebook (ASL based)

    If you like to watch Deaf dramas and whatnot, I would recommend you to check out the 'Deaf World Kiss Fist Vloggers' (DWKFV) group on Facebook, it's one of the biggest ASL-based groups that's mostly focused on vlogging.

    There are many other groups like it such as DPV, DPC, DGWV, etc. But DWKFV is one of the biggest one and most popular.

    It's mostly about dramas in their group, there are also some vlogs about funny stories, rants, jokes, etc.

    If you don't like Facebook, there's also DeafVIDEO.TV website.

    There's also some other stuff on Instagram and other social media.

    Enjoy.
