I mean, the 6a still has 3 years of support left so whilst it is older it is hardly at the end of its supported life.

Not everyone can change a battery in a phone, I can but I would still rather not do it on a phone that isn't really anything special and whilst yes they could feasibly last that long I think in practical everyday use application by the time you are getting to three years of daily use it will be beaten up and physically not in great shape any more for your average user.

My favourites are Saucony, Adidas or Hoka. Adidas I would shy away from recommending to other people though as I've had some amazing shoes from them and some fucking terrible shoes so it is some what hit and miss. For me Saucony are always on point but always tend to be harder to find a good deal.

I usually trawl eBay and a few different websites looking for current stock they are trying to move and often end up with different shoes every time because of this, although j don't mind that too much. I have size 12 feet which usually narrows down my choices anyway but I'd say I average around £40 - £45 sort of area for shoes. Sometimes I'll have to buy slightly more expensive. I got some Saucony once that were second hand and worn for about 50km for £15 and they lasted a good 800km.

What relevance does that have to what I said? If the physical phone isn't going to last that long then I'd argue it is of little importance.

Those look like leg pain incarnate! I used to run every day for a few years and would get through 3 pairs of shoes at least in a year. Depends on the shoes but they always started affecting my body detrimentally between 600 and 800km, I think the best ones I had may have lasted to 900 but it wasn't the norm.

Yes they may be expensive but you can find bargains if you look and the cost is worth not fucking your legs up IMO.

These devices aren't even constructed to last 7 years. I don't see that either of those things are worth £600 personally.

Fuck all that noise, Pixel 6a + graphene £130. Why waste so much money!?

Meh. Skate made THPS feel like trash.

Thanks for the heads up on this. My cache was just under 40gb :/

Each book is between around 5 and 7 hours sort of time so yeh, they are relatively short books and I am audio book only so i guess the speed of reading is average?

Sometimes I can listen to a whole one in a day at work.

As the other commenter mentioned you can add games to steam as a non steam game to launch it via that. With pirated games I'm more than happy to launch from an icon though, it isn't the actual method of launching that bothers me as much as it does making different bs accounts from these shitty companies.

Rockstar forces its own launcher if you want a legit copy but I'm guessing a pirate version will circumvent this.

Seen as they are adding a proper offline option, does anyone know if I can launch this straight from steam or do I need another shitty launcher with another account?

edit never mind it says requires 3rd party account, in which case even for such a price you can get fucked

Enjoy Lovecraft! I wish I could go back and read them for the first time again!

I've got a few more Deathlands books under my belt since last I posted, I think I'm up to number 11 now, still enjoying it quite a lot.

As a break however I started Gideon Sable: The Best Thing you can Steal by Simon R Green today. Haven't got very far in yet but have enjoyed the introduction to it.
