Sideload Firefox onto the shield and install ublock. You want the normal android version not the android TV one. Connect a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and use the sites you'd use on your pc.

Amplitube 3 and Bias fx both have readily available torrents. I was happy enough with old versions of Amplitube that I purchased Amplitube 5 and have been really happy with it. They have plenty of metal rigs, but I haven't personally used them as I mostly stick with the tweed and plexi stuff.

Neural DSP is another paid option but everything I've heard is that they're the cream of the crop for metal tones. They also offer a 14 day trial.

Recently I've been all about the curated collections that The Criterion Channel puts out. For those that are unaware, they'll pick a couple themes and put together a list of 6-12 movies complete with a blended trailer and overview of the theme. Right now for instance they have "70s Car Movies" and "High School Horror". My only complaint is that it obviously only lists movies that are available on The Criterion Channel.

Is there anything similar out there, be it a blog, YouTube channel, whatever, but that will regularly curate lists without regards for where to actually watch the movie?

I know I could just search for best whatever genre movies I'm interested in watching, but sometimes I don't want to think about what to watch. Additionally, the curated list for a given theme gets me to branch out from what I may typically watch in that I know it's generally going to be a good movie.

Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn't be happier.

Just curious what the selling point was for those of you that have one? Most of my gaming is retro stuff on my rp2+ or rg35xx and I just don't see the appeal the pocket has over the Retroid/Anbernic alternatives. Is the quality and ability to play actual carts that big of a selling point for the higher price and waiting?
