“This book has been debated for ages,” said Nguyen, a bookseller on Hanoi’s Nguyen Xi book street, who gave only his first name for fear of inviting backlash against his store.
Funnily enough, this could be more identifying than if he gave his last name. There are more Nguyen last names than first names.
Can you use an aux cable? Just thinking of old school solutions

Is a dedicated mp3 player out of the question? Would be a simple solution that doesn’t require any internet access for when you’re in areas with poor reception.
I love my 8Bitdo Ultimate controller. It’s comfortable to use and holds a decent charge. Having a charging stand is really useful too. If you have multiple non-PC devices, I would recommend getting the Pro version so that you can use Bluetooth. Otherwise, the USB one will work well.
Only other minor negative is that the d-pad is a little mushy so I will occasionally hit the wrong direction accidentally. So not the greatest for fighting games.
If you don’t need the charging stand, there are cheaper USB only controllers too.
Lastly, if you want to try to improve your posture, my family bought some chair restraint straps for my grandma who kept tilting in her chair. The ones I linked aren’t what we got her but they were the cheapest I could find. You may also want to get your eyes checked. Could be the reason you’re leaning forwards so much is because you can’t see as clearly as you think.
I bought a Sony Blue Ray player back in 2014 and though it doesn’t see much use now that I have a Plex server, it still works over a decade later.
The accent isn’t heavy at all. Surprisingly not very racist, or at least, not done well at all.
I’m more concerned about his delusional rambling in which he thinks he alone prevented a war between India and Pakistan.
She has to be the most quotable video game character ever.
How are you holding up? BECAUSE I’M A POTATO. clap clap clap Oh good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that
If you become light headed from thirst, feel free to pass out.
Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. We weren’t even testing for that
Protagonist has got to be Bayonetta (though it’s based only on the first game). Her character growth in the first game was so good, even if the plot was a little convoluted. Never finished the second one since I didn’t like playing on the Switch and never played the third one. Hope her character is still good though.
Honorable mentions are Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite, and Stelle from Honkai Star Rail (though this one is mostly for the absolutely ridiculous dialogue options we get to choose).
Favorite female antagonist is hands down GLaDOS. Such a fun, sarcastic, and likeable villain.
Dear video game developers,
There are too many video games nowadays. Please eliminate three.
From what I understand based on Colbert’s monologue, their motivations for suspending Kimmel is completely monetary based. ABC affiliate company Nexstar made a $6.2 billion deal to acquire TEGNA Inc and Disney which owns ABC made a deal to get some NFL assets in exchange for a 10% stake in ESPN (valued at around $3 billion).
Both of these acquisitions will need FCC approval to go through. Take a guess at what they’re willing to do to get that approval.
Oh right, sim card compatibility was not something I had considered. Thanks for the tip!
I tried using the browser site for my bank but unfortunately it doesn’t allow depositing checks. Will have to think about that when choosing a phone.
Still, I appreciate all the helpful information you’ve provided. Lots to think about
Based on your responses here, I’m going to assume you don’t get invited out much
I tried to be nice and deflect your comment with a joke but it seems you just want to be needlessly mean.
I work from home and don’t go out much due to my limited mobility. And I use my phone to watch videos and read when in bed because a laptop would be to cumbersome to use. I do have a tablet as well but even that gets too heavy to hold for long periods of time.
When I do occasionally go out, I only use my phone for directions, to listen to a podcast since the noise of traffic and crowded areas is overstimulating, or you know, as a phone to make calls/texts. So no, I do not use my phone as a pacifier in public, you horse’s ass.
What’s all this crazy talk about going outside?
Thanks for clarifying. I guess I’ll look more into /e/OS to see what it’s really like.
My parents are going to France in October so if I decide on the Fairphone I may just ask them to pick it up for me. Not sure how that’d work though so I’ll look more into it.
As for the banking, I use it about once a week or every other week to deposit checks. I will definitely still need that though since it’s hard for me to physically go to the bank due to my limited mobility. Might be best to keep my old phone just for that purpose
Thanks for the detailed information. The Fairphone 6 is a strong contender to be sure and if I’m able to buy one with the OS installed all the better! Only problem is I’m in the US so I don’t know how much more expensive it will be for me to buy.
And after doing a quick search of /e/OS it looks like an iOS clone, which I am not super fond of. Have you used it before?
Also, it seems my bank isn’t supported. So that’s another bummer
More power to you! I enjoy browsing videos and reading webcomics too much to go back to a flip phone though. Don’t go on social media much so if I go deeper down the rabbit hole, a flip phone may bot be out of the question. It would also be a great alternative for a work phone
Thought since my phone couldn’t be rooted I wouldn’t be able to change the OS. It’s the SM-G981U model
The Portal games are fun puzzle FPS platformers with a great story, though there’s a good chance you’ve already played those and didn’t consider them platformers.
Another FPS platformer is Roboquest. It’s a roguelite shooter. Very fast pace and stressful but fun if you’re into that kind of thing.
I also want to second Psychonauts. I haven’t played #2 yet but the first game had a unique and interesting story with fun gameplay.
I’ve heard A Short Hike is a relaxing game. More about exploration than meeting game objectives but could be a nice break when you’re stressed. Basically the opposite of Roboquest haha
