how do you fight upgrade-itis? (self.audiophile)
 

Mainly posting to help add content to this sub.

Just been pondering “upgrade-itis” a bit over the past couple of weeks. During Covid times I did a lot of hi-fi building and got to my happy place about two years ago. Since then I haven’t really paid attention to new equipment announcements, or forums. I still catch myself enjoying the music (which for me is the goal) when I listen.

But, a couple of weeks ago I thought about upgrading the speakers, pulled the thread, and now I’m back into pondering whether to invest more into it. Part of me feels like I’m succumbing to the “nothing is ever good enough, must consume” mentality. The other part is saying that if the process is enjoyable, and the result is better, and I can afford the time and expense, why not.

Interested to hear the perspective of others. Have you reached your “final system” and stuck to it?

Games for a 4 year old in c/NintendoSwitch@kbin.social
[–] mbd 1 points 1 year ago

It depends on the four year old, but Mario Kart can be good because it has the special modes that include auto acceleration, and staying on the track. Even if they don’t do much, the kart will typically move along. Another is the Just Dance series; while their timing may not be perfect, it tends to be fun (and gives them a bit of physical activity too).

Any solid Indie game suggestions available on PS Store or Switch? in c/gaming

A mix of genres, but some of my favourite Indies include; Gris, Lunark, Golf Story, Death Squared, A Short Hike, Cat's Quest, Rigid Force Redux, and Coffee Talk. All are on Switch, and many on PlayStation too.
