Before I swapped to linux full-time, I used virtualbox to create test environments from various distros to see which one I liked best.

After testing: EndeavorOS, Manjaro, PopOS, Nobara, Ubuntu, and openSuse
I settled on Endeavor as my main driver and have been running it for over a year now. openSuse came close second for me, and Nobara was a distant last, I really did not like it. The important thing for me was to try several of them in a safe way that would let me experiment on if this was really something I wanted at all.

He's washing himself of the responsibility for how harmful the game is.

I agree, Walz, start being unsafe. Show us what we want to see in a candidate.

Even if its not possible, campaign like its the goal. Tell us what you'd do with full approval from everyone and people might get motivated enough to vote to make that happen.

I've heard of man-spreading, but this is ridiculous

I had read about the cancelled Superman game, Blue Steel, and its sad that it was never given a shot. Superman in city-destroying brawls with Braniac/Zod/Darkseid or Wonder Woman fighting mythical Greek beasts in a modern setting just seems like a game that should already exist.

With so many big name DC heroes, you'd think we'd be getting big budget games about them constantly, but outside of the Batman Arkham games we don't have much to show for it in recent history.

Marvels got a whole bunch of cool stuff in progress: Wolverine, Captain America, Black Panther games. On top of its successful Spider Man games, and they hit Marvel Rivals that just launched. But its crickets from DC.

A game asked me if I was a boy or girl, I chose girl and have since committed to the bit.

I think its even better as the new arise power gives us some personalities to follow instead just just our solo protagonist leveling solo.

If you don't know any other trans people, look into some queer local groups and go meet some. I was lucky that my therapist offered to connect me with another trans patient of theirs with a similar age and background, so I had someone to talk to and 7+ years later, we are still friends.

Make sure the other person you talk to is up for helping guiding you. It's a big ask, and not one everyone is mentally equipped to take on.

Slime movies are kinda mid, except for Diablo who is always gold. Here's to more Diablo content.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.
