  • Currently: The Talos Principle.

    EDIT: The game, not the story. Though the story is quite interesting too.

    Won’t spoil it for those who haven’t played, but some of the philosophical questions and statements are quite interesting. The overall tone of the game fascinates me, even for someone who doesn’t really like (but acknowledges) religion.








  • For classical music, is there anything you look for specifically?

    Currently, my collection mostly contains works from well-known composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Debussy. However, I do have some compilations from lesser-known composers such as Antonin Dvorak and Franz Schubert.

    Do you go for any performance?

    I’m open to any classical piece, be it from famous composers like Mozart, to lesser known composers like Dvorak.









  • This is an extreme example if you really want something like an old, ‘dumb’ phone from the past while still using modern hardware:

    • Remove any non-essential apps to making a call or text. I would only keep F-Droid to keep your launcher up to date (unless there’s a built-in updater)
    • Replace your current launcher with something more minimal like Minimo Launcher
    • Optional: Install a game (Just one!) like Breakout 71 for something to do on your break (Like how old phones had a game to play)
    • Disable all notifications not related to phone or text
    • Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, All Location Services, anything that isn’t essential to making a call or text.

    EDIT: forgot to add:

    • Only re-enable Wi-Fi for updating your launcher and/or game. Disable when you’re done.

    Congratulations, you’ve successfully ‘dumb downed’ your smartphone.
