I bought this game in July 2023 for some reason, and have 60ish hours in it.

I randomly fire it up every so often because it’s quick to load, quick to get in to action and actually playing, and most importantly it’s fun - you know, what games are meant to be!

Vampire Survivors is the other time sink in this genre. Unfortunately I have that on PC and mobile. That’s bad for productivity.

I would also like to die on this hill.

Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I’m the opposite… I rarely reply when I’m on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

I can’t set a reminder.

I said “Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow” and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it’s naked.

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

It’s not, but it’s old Reddit with more attributes that prevent a transition to corporate Reddit so I’ll take it.

I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

What’s the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster… But there’s no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren’t taking risks any more.

It’s previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…

I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

Stardew Valley, Minecraft

I have a library with hundreds of games I don’t play anymore. If Stream closed I’d just have hundreds plus a rounding area I can’t play anymore.

I will have already got my enjoyment from the games but the time Steam ever closes down.

Doesn’t seem to stop a lot of drivers

Anyone who is old enough to remember trying to buy digital copies of games pre-Steam knows how much value Stream brings to the table.

If it’s not on Steam, I don’t even consider it.

Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?

So, for me, 90 percent of the time this function would be firmly set to “off”.

I bought a car that has heated seats and a heated steering wheel that I’ve never used, and being in Australia will probably never use. It did not detract from the rest of the cars functionality including its main purpose which is to get me from A to B.

I suspect the optional functionality of this hardware button will be similar.

It’s a tag, that works well as a tag.

Also, you can use it as a remote shutter should you wish to place your phone somewhere and take the photo from somewhere else - like standing in front of a famous landmark, or wanting to be in a group photo instead of being behind the camera.

Seems like a no brainer bit of useful add-on functionality to supplement its primary usage.

Isn’t that what you do with Bitcoin?
