Not sure where you are but I do get decent results on page 1. E.g. Which and Talksport (though the latter is arguable as decent 🙃).

I'm yet to play Chrono Trigger! We didn't have it on the SNES in the UK, though we did get Terranigma, which is my all-time favourite game.

I bought a 3DS and the DS Chrono Trigger during the pandemic but still haven't got around to playing it.

I don't like to criticise individuals in circumstances like this, and I'll call it misinformation. So much is spreading thanks to the "AI" hype.

Articles like this from well known brands gives credibility to all the unscrupulous SEOs and "AI" optimisers out there.

Imagine saying on your deathbed in about 80-90 years time "I can't believe my Pixel 8 outlasted me."

What brilliant last words.

You could have it buried with you just in case you're not actually dead.

What a story.

Keep the Pixel 8.

If you ask me, I'm always the person who'll say Noooo, don't do it!

I bet they'll be even better and flippier when your current phone reaches end of life.

My last three phones have been £100ish Motorolas, but the last one started dying after about 3 years and now my current one is too. It's very frustrating, as even though I 'only' spend £100 I expect them to last longer. I think sometimes the issues are due to app updates.

Same here, though I'll die on the SERP that puns are brilliant and not terrible. They are canonical and not 404.

Crime and Pun-ishment is not the same thing.

A new #TechSEOpuns topic coming next week, if you can wait...

That Apex Magazine link should show < 9,000 words. D'oh!

A few online favourites - I hope you find something to enjoy! There are loads of great magazines.

As for music, I'm grateful I can listen during work. Here's that Mogwai-alike playlist if you'd like to look up any of the bands - open.spotify.com/playlist/5vR... - most or all are instrumental.

Thank you for playing such a huge part in bringing her music back to life! I'll look for more of your formerly lost musical treasures.

Your name was also mentioned first and most often in the "thinking."
November 21, 2025 at 5:10 PM
I'll wait till tomorrow then.

But seriously, this seems like the perfect response case for "Do you know who I am?"

I wonder if you're ever tempted... 😊
