Inserts Catchy Title for April's Newsletter
April's Updates & Upgrades.
iPhone 16e
This phone sounded cool when you hear it coming out. Then you see the specs and go why not get a previous gen phone? Any iPhone between the 10 to the 15 would beat this phone. Want magsafe, get the 15. Want a better camera, the 15 or 14. Don’t want to pay iPhone 16 money? Get any other phone refurbished. This was supposed to be the iPhoneSE’s replacement. But shouldn’t it have been the iPhone 12 to become an SE.
Wanting a New iPad & Upgrades
I want an iPad Pro, but I don’t know which generation to get. It definitely will be the one that works with Apple Pencil 2. I just don’t know which one. Even if I make up my mind, I don’t have the money to even buy one.
The next big purchase I should make is a new PC. I have a laptop that can’t update to Windows 11. Windows 10 end-of-life is this year in October. So, there’s that. Plus, as a gamer, I need a better processor and even better graphics. There are plenty of games just sitting in my library that I want to play but can’t because of graphics alone.
I recently got a ‘new’ monitor from my cousin and I just got it plugged in finally. I have been waiting on the power cord to arrive in the mail. That took 2 weeks. Now I finally have a 2 monitor setup. Now, I need to decide if this is the final layout for them. I have the second one in portrait mode for better reading of documents and scrolling web pages.
Drone Deliveries
Of course, there are drones doing a better job than humans. I just watched this video and wondered what the logistics behind drone deliveries are, and it’s cool to see it happen.
Books
Oathbound and Onyx Storm came out, and all I can think is that I don’t have money to buy either. I mean, I haven’t read the second book in either series yet. I have those. Just got to get to them.
Legendborn
I did read Legendborn last month. I considered just reading the Bloodmarked with how the book ended. I want to know so badly, but I decided to do a book challenge this year, and Bloodmarked isn’t the next book.
Archenemies
A romance book disguised as a fantasy book. But the first book was a straight comic book. Action. Heroes. Villains. Grey Areas. I mean this was a complete different vibe from the first book, Renegades. I get what the book was doing. It was bringing Nova and Adrian closer to make their decisions harder in the future. I am not in a rush to read the last book in the series, but I want to see how it ends.
Current Movies + TV
Proud Family, Louder and Prouder — I have enjoyed this show so much. I missed this soo bad.
Lilo and Stitch The Series — My favorite movie turned into a series.
Destination Truth — Haven’t seen this show in years. The cast is so funny, and they literally have not found anything but ghosts and bones.
Recess — A good classic to put in the background when working or chilling.
Have you seen the trailer for Lilo and Stitch?
It’s sooooooooooooooooooo good. I’m going to watch it without any doubt. I need this Stitch plushie NOW!!! Also, did you count how many o’s I used? The level of excitement cannot be contained.
The way this video had my life on hold. Nothing mattered until I got to the final video. Like, how can you describe something so good like what.. This is a summarization of Marry My Husband, a K-drama. A woman has cancer and is dying, goes home because her husband is useless, and finds her best friend with her husband. She is murdered by accident and on purpose. I mean, the conversation she walks in on is about why she is taking so long to die. She comes back years in the past, where she knows what will happen and tries to live her life differently. She realizes that she has to give her cancer and deadbeat husband off to someone else and decides it has to be her best friend. That alone is something crazy.
Why doesn’t Adobe do a better job at explaining what this app can really do? Like this circle does so much, and if I wasn’t on YouTube watching other artists’ tips, I wouldn’t know anything. He gave 14 tips for this 1 circle. It’s so powerful.
Games
Monster Hunter Wild - Loved watching the gameplay for this game.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - Ok did not expect this game to be so much. From the story to the mini-games inside it.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced - Finally the PC is with the console. But it’s just Rockstar milking a cow dry. (As they should)
7 Days to Die V2.0 Announced
Assassins’ Creed
Winter Coming - 7 Days to Die V2.0 Announced
I hate it. From the Reddit posts I have dived into, it seems that the new update will penalize players for going to the harder biomes. The game will literally make it impossible to just walk into those biomes or you will die. I first thought, Oh, the weather is finally back in the game. But no. It’s probably going to be like it was going into outerbound areas. Where if you didn’t have a Hazard suit, you would die.
I read there will be a switch to turn this off, which would be good. Then I read there may not be a switch to turn this off. It’s just weird. I was hoping for the weather to affect the gameplay and the decisions you make. Like actually getting cold in the snow and hot in the desert, and it actually does something like drain your thirst quicker or drain your health until you warm up.
The Fall of a Titan. Ubisoft.
The performance of Ubisoft is terrible. They put out games and concepts that gamers want. But they really have no grip in reality. In a world where people want to play video games, real-world problems don’t matter. Make a Star Wars game about being an outlaw, but you can’t break any real laws. You can’t rob people, but you can rob the cops. Made a live …
