Have you played Outer Wilds? It’s kind of a walking simulator in the sense its 's heavy on discovering the lore and exploration instead of action and defeating baddies BUT it has space flight realistic physics and a solar system simulation. It’s a pretty nice and chill game with space exploration and a constant feel of dread when you step out of the ship but it does not have multiple ships or multiple alien forms. Still, it’s the best game I played recently.

Is this your first time unlocking/flashing a device? If it is, I would recommend first looking into installing the android adb tools, sometimes you can find minimal installs, then turning your phone in boot mode and trying to comunicate with it. This is usually done with the terminal and after you send a specific command the phone should reply with its identifier (i dont remember the specifics). Once you can communicate with the device this means the drivers you need are installed properly and you should be able to see your phone in the xiaomi application (or unlock the bootloader directly from the terminal).

All of this assumes you got the unlock code from the xiaomi site (which ofently does not work) but there are some shady programs around to bypass this step.

Did you also installed the drivers? It took me some time to learn that your computer may see the phone in regular mode (accessing content) but not when you turn it on recovery mode / boot mode and this requires additional drivers.

Haha, sorry! By no means I’m an expert but the taste of moka pot coffee in my experience has always been how you describe it, rough. Never quite like an espresso. I like using the machine but I don’t love the coffee it makes. This is what I do: cleaning the pot regulary, boiling the water in the base first and then screwing the top, lower the heat when the coffee starts coming out and adding a filter seems to help.

Oh, I just read its your first one… Yes, it’s a difficult brew.

I find it difficult to adjust to the induction stove in general. Maybe one of those plates you use with the regular aluminium pot? The stove manual do not recomnend using those.

I know. I did not clean my first one but after watching some internet gurus I started cleaning it regularly (not every batch). I even remember the line “even if alfonso bialetti himself rises from the grave to tell you to not clean your moka do not listen to him” haha Truth be told I don’t even like cleaning my french press.

What type of manual espresso so you have? I find regular espresso machines too expensive for me but I was thinking of getting a flair.

I prefer pour over taste but this is my favorite brewing experience. I didn’t use it as often because I don’t like cleaning the pot and now we switched to an induction stove and I can’t use it.

Yoshis Island Silent Hill Shadow of the colossus Majoras Mask Outer Wilds

There are a lot of games I played a lot of times but maybe because I had no others and had a ton of time. Nowadays I would only replay Yoshis Island and Shadow of the colossus. I dont know if would replay SH but I played it a ton when young and it cemented my love for survival horror games. I only went through Majoras Mask once or twice, I was more of a Playstation kid than a Nintendo one. I recently played Outer Wilds and it was an awesome unexpected experience.

I dont love the gazillion batteries my lock uses… but it’s been around a year since it was installed and it has about 50% battery left. I don’t have it connected to the internet. I love replacing AAs and AAAs for rechargable lipos but I KNOW my wife won’t approve, haha.

We keep a giant jar of instant coffee because my wife doesn’t like my coffee. She likes her coffee super weak so a giant jar should not be necessary but from time to time I run out of coffee beans and will drink instant instead and go thorugh it super fast. I also like instant for iced coffee because I usually forget to prep the cold brew.

I love that museum! But only the part with the ancient sculptures, not the creepy life sized dioramas.
