  1. I will be honest, I hear so much about The Legend of Zelda and how great the game is and even though I would love to play it, I have not gotten around to doing so. I have never played a Legend of Zelda game, most say I am crazy that I have not but having the time to play all kinds of games now is just not always there.
  2. I have to agree with you both, whilst ranked modes can be fun, the competitive side of playing ranked and also the changes that are made to the video games for ranked modes and tournaments can often make the game less enjoyable for those who are not into competitive playing on that specific game.
  3. This I can agree with. Whilst most have moved on when it comes to the console wars, some will still keep them going and I find a lot of the time, it is those who are huge fans of a specific console and are always finding reasons why their choice of console is better than the other regardless of how much has changed.
  4. The last game I played was Monopoly Go on my phone just a moment ago. Kind of gutted that someone let me down with a sticker trade that would have meant I could have finished the dig event that was on going. Hopefully next time I will get it.
  5. I have used both iPhone and Android and as much as I do like both and what they have to offer, Android has always won me over due to the more affordable phones and tablets that they have and also the fact that you do not have to spend more on a handset to get more storage. I currently have the Samsung A15 and it came with 128GB of storage which is great and perfect for me. Had I have gone with iPhone I would have had to pay much more for that amount.
  6. This is a good question and one that has more than one answer. In terms of bringing people together, I feel it is doing so based on the fact that the internet is building that bridge for people to interact with others no matter where they live in the world but at the same time, with the people around us, we are on the internet so much in some cases, we don't always tend to spend as much time with those who are close to us.
  7. I don't tend to travel too often if at all but in a few months I will be travelling to London with my daughter for a concert we are going to see. I have been thinking about what I will need when I travel as the travelling there is going to be almost 4 hours and I know that my phone and possibly tablet will be great to have on that journey.
  8. I wouldn't say that I use telescopes but I do follow people, a few on TikTok who go live and I am often amazed at just how much detail you can see now compared to many years ago. There is one guy that I watch and he has often done live streams and I remember one, you could see Uranus and the rings around it, it was amazing to see! With the development of telescopes now, I can only imagine where they will be in around 5 - 10 years time.
  9. I have accounts on most social media platforms but I will admit, half of them I don't use anymore. Twitter or as it is called now X, I tend to use maybe once a day but have been known to not go on it for days at a time. Instagram I have an account on and I tend to use this once every so often. BlueSky I have an account on but only use that one when I remember, need to get better at jumping on there. Facebook, I kept my account but I rarely use it now, just have it for messenger.
  10. Is two factor authentication is available then I will use it. You can never be too careful when it comes to anything online and especially with accounts that may have personal information on that if it gets in the wrong hands, could cause all kinds of issues. I do like when sites that use two factor authentication use the Google Authenticator as that has been a lifesaver for me.
  11. I have used TikTok daily for entertainment purposes, to share my own content and also to promote things such as my websites and also video game content and I have not had any issues with it at all. In terms of privacy, I am cautious about how much information I give to TikTok so I don't have any worries when it comes to privacy. One concern I do have though is how badly the TikTok shop side of things is overshadowing the content people create and post on there.
  12. I haven't owned a foldable phone but have seen others who have and what I have always noticed is how where the phone folds, it seems to leave a crease on the screen which tells me that it would affect the phone in some way and the phone may not last as long as phones that are not foldable. Would be interesting to hear from someone who owns a foldable phone whether they feel they tend to last longer.
  13. I have a feeling that at some point, we will see Apple come out with their own foldable iPhone. I see a lot of people with foldable phones now and knowing how Apple works, if they believe it will sell, they will create it and sell it. I have seen some foldable phones in the past and they tend to crease the screen from what I have seen, so wouldn't be something I would purchase but I know many would.
  14. At the moment, I am not using any kind of watch as I always use my phone, laptop or even the clocks I have in the house to tell the time. I have been interested in getting a smart watch though for quite a while. I know my mum uses one and she loves it as she can do so much on it. I always struggle messing around with my phone when I am out and about and I have seen that with some smartwatches you can use them for Google Pay which is what I use a lot so that would be convenient.
  15. I have always been someone who prefers to see art that tells a story. I never used to be a huge fan of art but will admit, as I have gotten older, I have noticed that art that tells a story I have been more drawn to and I find that particular art to be one that I am drawn to almost instantly.
  16. I am not someone who can eat many spicy foods now due to an issue I have with my stomach but I have in the past had spicy starters or even meals and then followed them up with a cool dessert. In the past I have eaten things such as curry and then followed them up with ice cream, usually mint-choc chip which is my all-time favourite.
  17. I have never had a pocket knife and would never keep one on me either. I hear way too many stories of people being attacked and in most cases, it was a pocket knife that was the weapon used in the attack. Where I live, I know it is illegal to carry any kind of knife, especially a pocket knife but people do.
  18. I have never had any use for an axe so have never used one at all. I have seen many times people who take part in axe throwing and the amount of skill it seems to take is amazing! I have also seen on talent shows those who throw axes whilst someone is sat in front of the target board. They are always nerve-wracking to watch.
  19. I would say that I am a shy person but that is not by choice. Growing up I was always shy and it always took me a while to trust anyone enough to come out of my zone. I would say now that I am still quite shy and I prefer to be able to take the lead myself in terms of how I communicate with people.
  20. I tend to panic or get anxious about a lot of things and sometimes it can happen so easily. When it comes to panicking and becoming anxious, I always find that sitting and scrolling on TikTok, playing video games I enjoy or even shutting off with a song that I know helps me with my ear buds in helps a great deal.
  21. The only time I ever used a bow and arrow was as a kid and it was a toy bow and arrow. I can't say that I have ever used a real bow and arrow and would be worried about doing so. I hear you have to be quite strong to use one.
  22. I remember my first watch very well. I always remember getting my first watch as a kid one Christmas and it was dark pink with some purple on it. I struggled to tell the time at first as it was not digital but it helped me learn the time.
  23. I don't tend to feel lonely often as I have my kids and my family but there have been times when I have felt lonely. Usually I tend to shut off watching my favourite TV show or movie or even play my favourite video games.
  24. If someone was to take a wild bird in and keep it as a pet, then I would say that is cruel due to the fact that bird is used to being out in the wild, not to mention it could have a family. Birds such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels, parrots and such, if they were brought up as pets, I don't see why they could not be kept as pets.
  25. Right now I am listening to what I would say is a classic! Brings back a lot of memories trying to complete this on guitar hero without failing. If I remember rightly, my brother was able to on expert but it took him a long time!
