Browsers & Skyrim
Browsers
I would probably consider myself a browser-hopper. I've never been particularly "loyal" to just a single browser in my years of surfing the net; I have a bunch of browsers that I use for all different reasons. Up until recently I had been using Firefox until it essentially stopped working fast to the point where photos attached to tweets and YouTube videos would refuse to load. Apparently other people have been experiencing Firefox slowness as well. I also recently have heard some talks of AI integration into Firefox. It's a real shame, since Firefox seems to be the only browser that isn't just a Chrome re-skin. It was fast and worked pretty well up until a few days ago. I've since switched to Opera GX because that was what I was using before Firefox (laugh at me all you want...)
Anyway, I'm not particularly fond of this re-design Opera GX has gone under. I find the "digital" screen look and modular typeface used for headings to be particularly tacky, reminiscent of this really ugly pixel typeface that for some reason everyone in my club loves to use. Ack. Not to mention, the tabs take fucking AGES to load. And no. I will NOT switch to Chrome or Brave.
Skyrim
I recently bought myself Skyrim and have been playing it for a few hours at a time. I'm at around 7-9 hours. My early verdict?
I can't get into it.
I'm not sure. I DO like playing it but... I feel like the theme and story isn't for me. I just had an open-world itch that needed to be scratched and I remembered Skyrim was a thing so I figured I'd give it a shot. Regardless, I think I'll still keep playing it. Maybe I'll be more into it if I sink my teeth in a little more. Before this I was playing VTMB which I found more engaging, probably because I already like the music in that game and I think vampires are cool haha.
