  • Maybe, PowerAmp was the first one I tried after I got off the dedicated MP3 player lifestyle, so coming from iPod classics or cheaper Fiio and Sansa players I was seriously lacking for features like that.

    All I know is that PowerAmp does almost everything I could want it to and I never wanted for much more or needed to try other options after I tried it the first time


  • Seconding PowerAmp. Tons of features, something I loved about Spotify that PowerAmp has, you can queue songs and do things like “play next” so that it inserts songs into your queue.

    You can also see what song is going to play next, though I still deeply desire a mobile version of the Winamp feature where you can see the entire list of how the songs are shuffled and everything that’s coming up






  • Thats relatively tame, he’s done more ridiculous stuff than that, but it is creative and funny in an “industry” where most streamers just play a game straightforwardly and don’t “cut loose” in quite the same way. I’m just habitually hyperbolic.

    I also don’t want to spoil the best things he’s done, half the fun of watching Jerma is discovering those things.


  • He’s a fantastic video game streamer. Very charismatic, genuine, and funny. I think one of the things that makes him special is he’ll do ridiculous things for a joke. If he thinks of a funny idea on the fly, sometimes he’ll basically stop playing whatever game he was supposed to be streaming, and just do something else stupid instead.

    For example, one time he performed a “magic trick” by unplugging his modem and then plugging it back in, using the time in between when the stream was frozen to run out of the room, making it look like he “disappeared”. He would do insane, hilarious stuff like that regularly, it wasn’t like he had special streams where he did things like that, he did them all the time.

    Of course he ALSO did special streams where he went even further, such as the “doll house” stream where he had a whole set made up like a fake house and basically became a Sims character with needs bars and everything. He’s a really special guy, and you could spend all day listing all of his amazing feats. He perfectly walks the line between being actually stupid in a funny way, and playing it up as a character, it’s convincing enough that it all just becomes “Jerma”, but he is also a genuinely good guy.



  • On Android:

    Godville is 24 MB, a zero player game where you create an adventurer who goes out and quests, collects loot and equipment, rests at town to sell things, tames a pet, joins a guild, etc. you can influence what they do, but they do it all automatically and you can just observe!

    Impossible Dungeon is 35 MB, idle non turn based dungeon crawler with incremental upgrades, I really like it!

    Not sure what you consider low MB, I couldn’t find any more that I’d heavily recommend at 150 MB so I cut it off there




  • Some of those cons could be true, but I think the bigger problem is that they only listed “sex and money” as the only pros.

    What are you doing in a relationship if that person isn’t basically a really good friend that you can laugh with, do hobbies with, watch and talk about movies with, share music with, etc.

    Sure you might have to hang out with mutual friends you don’t love (Though a good partner won’t force you to). You do need to spend time on their hobbies and likes if you don’t specifically share them. I’m not sure if I can vouch for the rest, though, those are some cons where you need to be really selective and find like minds to be with (don’t like to speak very often).

    the other two (manipulated for sex, fear of divorce) are more like things you should go to therapy to learn not to tolerate or worry about, respectively.


  • Was looking through people’s comments and was going to comment hard cider as well, and yours was the final comment! What sort are you drinking?

    Today I had Blake’s Triple Jam, it is pretty good. Cider’s the only alcoholic drink I’ve ever had where almost regardless of the particular cider I don’t need to “get used” to the taste. Most of the time I dislike regular beer and hard liquor is to be tolerated, mixed drinks don’t count, that’s cheating (but delicious)
