still a good idea: a thing that locks me out of my horn when I'm drunk, alternatively just mute anything cw'd "alc"

fuck. the whole concept of masto is surreal

heck Quickcharge is a good feature, he thought while his phone said "5 hours until fully charged"

I wonder what exactly this N-Gage-branded dummy SIM does but it allows me to boot the phone without it even attempting to connect to a network (it doesn't boot without a SIM inside). Also it looks pretty dang cool

I didn't expect myself to still be that good at T9 typing 😆 it's been ages since I had a phone with just a number pad

my N-Gage QD experience (thread) 

The phone will also run J2ME apps, so I'm hoping to find the one MMC I own to get meBoy running, but I haven't found it yet and there's almost no internal storage.
I'm looking forward to trying more n-Gage games, not sure if I'll actually buy originals, since a lot of them are dirt cheap on ebay, but it's also apparently really easy to jailbreak the device.
If anyone has any questions or wants me to try something I'd be happy to help.

my N-Gage QD experience (thread) 

A big problem with the game is that someone apparently thought that "hold down forward to run forward, release to stop" was not ideal for a phone. So in this version one has to tap backwards on the D-pad to stop going forward, which is really hard to get used to. I've fallen off ledges repeatedly because of this weird-ass design decision. And no, it can't be turned off.

my N-Gage QD experience 

So I've been playing Tomb Raider on the N-Gage QD for quite a bit now, and also used the phone in general, and I have to say it's pretty neat. Symbian means that it actually multitasks, I can get out of the game with one button press, type up an SMS, take a call and instantly jump back into the game.
The game itself looks pretty good, the 3D works well (and doesn't glitch around like on the PSX) but it does have performance issues at times. Nothing too distracting. (cont.)

in other news, I can now text from the dang n-gage

Mastodon is great but can it launch 90kg projectiles for 300m?

Shoutout to Nokia for making a Mastercode (calculable from the IMEI) that overrides the Security Code, eBay buyers everywhere thank you

I'm switching to the dang N-Gage because of course I brought the charger for that one

guess who forgot his dang USB-C cable at home and of course no one here has a phone with that plug

it'd be cool to make a very minimal Mastodon website that runs without any JavaScript…

yes I just wanna be able to toot with the N-Gage

Hey everyone! As you might know already, a.weirder.earth suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, taking us down for about 2 weeks and forcing us to move to a completely new instance.

A lot of us (myself included) didn't back up our follows either. So we're very much on square one.

How you can help:

- Contribute to #ff (follow friday) tomorrow. Everyone could do with the follow suggestions.
- Check your follows. If anyone is from 'a.weirder.earth', refollow them on 'weirder.earth'.

Thanks!
