I agree that the Pixel 9 Pro is a compelling alternative. It makes you wonder if there's a specific point where the design hits a sort of sprunki phase, where all elements come together in a surprisingly effective way. I'm happy with my Pixel 9 for now, though.

That koala has a point, sometimes you just gotta move on. It reminds me of those silly online games. I wasted way too much time on one of those idle games, something like a chicken jockey clicker, just mindlessly tapping away. I guess there's a time and place for that kind of escape, but definitely not when real life stuff needs doing.

I'm still enjoying my Pixel 9, but I see what you mean about the Pro. It's tempting to upgrade. Speaking of upgrades, I saw this funny game where you manage a farm, kind of like a chicken jockey clicker, but with more pixelated goodness. It's a fun way to pass the time while waiting for my phone to charge.
