Spending my time figuring out the mom thing! 😊
It’s been challenging but it’s paying off! Look at this happy peanut!

My initial review: iPhone 13 Pro is definitely the model to get this year! iPhone 13 Pro Max is my choice for my daily camera & here is why: it's a phenomenal indoor camera! I just had a baby and I don't want to miss a thing. This camera is proving extremely capable of capturing the indoor moments that I do not want to miss!

A cheeky unboxing & transformation of a "blue" Switch Lite into a Waluigi purple one with a shell from Extremerate. Why didn't Nintendo just make it purple???

A custom mod Nintendo Switch Lite to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Animal Crossing New Horizons! A special edition was never released for the Lite. After being bummed out for a while I decided to design a few of my own. Here is how to create them!

I've been quiet lately for a reason. A mini me is on the way (gender reveal inside)! I will make videos & reviews as energy allows. What a pleasant surprise baby was when we found out on Christmas Day! We are so excited! We discuss some ultrasound photos, hopes and dreams and more lol. Stay tuned for updates!

What color is this Nintendo Switch!? In some lighting it looks orange or even pink. I wish Nintendo took the theme more seriously. It's still a pretty cool set!

iPhone 12 Pro Max Leather Sleeve case may be the worst Apple product ever, certainly the weirdest! iPhone 12 review coming soon (series). I bought this sleeve for the Mini & the Max. After a week of use it left me either very annoyed or scratching my head. Here are all the ins and outs, if you are curious.

Why X950H?
While I am all for future proofing I don't think VRR or 120hz will benefit me as I prefer Nintendo games. Nintendo isn't using bleeding edge hardware and I don't count on it for the Switch Pro so current 60hz gaming at 4K and even 1080p is fine for me! The input lag on the 950h is respectably low. See https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x950h for specs.

Compared to Samsung's gaming TVs the Sony 950h uses local dimming, even in game mode, so black stays black instead of grayish. Samsung tunes down the local dimming algorithm in game mode to lower input lag but it affects the image quality. Huge plus for the 950h! I don't want to compromise on image quality even for games. Also, compared to OLED the 950h has a higher peak brightness, which is both great for HDR to pop and for the ambient lighting of the HUGE window next to the TV. Motion handling on the 950h is great and so is the image! Easy to calibrate with Calman. Well calibrated custom mode out of the box! NO dirty screen effect that we see on the Samsungs.

A very powerful TV! If you are a casual gamer I don't think you can beat the 950h for the cost to feature ratio. 950h also has incredible speakers so if you don't have a sound bar it will not be missed! Sony 900h will be most compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X but the 950h has the better image and viewing angles. I will pick the better image any day!
