    Just a quick heads up, the latest canary releases have reverted the nagging behaviors. Should the title be updated to reflect that? Source: Release notes.

    Xenia canary is a testing build. It doesn't automatically update, so your existing copy of the emulator is unaffected. :-)

    This was removed pretty quickly, though. The latest releases are nag-free. See this comment.

    Edit: Forgot some punctuation. Have a great day!

    As of a newer commit, this is gone: Source: https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/commit/ef91193a708a8b4c4e609f0a75586ee44033f700

    As of a newer commit, this is gone:

    updated disclaimer, archive detection, clean up flags
    No more beeps, no more persistent warnings, no more insults, just a single silent disclaimer that also helps the user get started using games from their console.
    Updated the archived format detection to add tar/gz, and updated the box to state that xenia does not support running archived games.

    Rooted user here! Just getting into the depths of "things possible with root" and so far, I've mostly used it for Tasker. I'll happily take some suggestions.

    I have some more suggestions for rooted devices, but I imagine the majority is not rooted right now.

    Fair point; I haven't met a radler I don't like yet. I prefer the sweeter ones, generally, but they're all good in my book (...and fridge, and mouth). While the prices are climbing higher, I'm also willing to pay. Shandies taste like light beer and lemon water to me, lol.

    Have you explored Coffee Talk and it's sequel? I found the games a few weeks ago, and while they are shorter, story-driven experiences (about 5-7 hours each), I enjoyed them very much.

    You play as a barista chatting with their patrons, in a cozy little Seattle, WA coffee shop that's only open during the night. Each character is well-developed, and you can feel the relationships develop over the course of the story. Both games have an excellent soundtrack too, even if you're not into "chill beats to relax and study to" or lo-fi jazz.

    There's also an element of coffee-making (of course), with each drink having at most three ingredients. Usually, the characters give you an explanation of whichever drink they want, and some "regulars" of the shop want the same drink each time (e.g., an espresso). There's an in-game tablet that keeps track of the recipes, and it's not on a time-limit or anything. Really, the coffee-making gameplay takes a back seat to the story, but it's a nice concept regardless.

    I'm not the best at writing reviews, but if you have questions, please ask away. :-)

    I’m so glad Radlers seem to have caught on a bit in the States. They are delicious.

    Absolutely; I was starting to think everyone was stuck on an IPA craze!

    The weather's trending warmer here, so I've picked up an assortment of Stiegl Radlers for the summer (although they won't last that long, ha). I've enjoyed Paulaner Grapefruit as well. Do you have any recommendations for good Radlers to try?
