That’s took bad. My old OnePlus 7 Pro was my all time favorite phone. I used the screen off gestures all the time. To see the company become shit so quickly sucks.

Yeah it was terrible. Pretty but not a good movie at all. I was excited for that one too and when I saw the reviews decided to rent it instead. I’ll do the same here.

I can’t wait!

My son is literally named after Zidane!

Good! Fuck this noise.

Just to get away from Apple and Google.

I love the trend towards Linux phones. I hope that gets a good enough foothold for me to get one.

I got one! Get wrecked.

That’s probably where I am too.

And with news on Xbox being AI trash possibly… Consoles may be dead.

As a PC player my rule of thumb is there has to be at least 10 great games on a console before I buy a console. I owned a PS4 because it crossed the threshold before they started releasing the games on PC.

Just one or two games on my wishlist for the PS5, at this rate I’ll never buy one.

My guess is maybe they saw reduced console sales for folks like me?

You’d think by being ADHD I could do just that. But I feel like without a lobotomy I’ll just have to live with disappointment.

That’s what I thought. Looks like something children will enjoy. I’m not ready to take it off my wishlist but I almost did.

That’s fair. When my kids were young I gave up games all together for years. Now that we’re empty nesters I have lots of time! 😈

I got a copy of that to play with my son. Turned out it’s online and we shared an account so he played it and I watched on occasion.

He loved it but it’s done with it. It’s something I could install and have a go at it now that I think about it.

I’ll give it a go this weekend.

That makes sense to me.

I’ve played it after several of the updates and it’s pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint. A mile wide and an inch deep. But the game keeps getting wider and playing it now for the first time would probably be pretty great.

I loved it when it first came out because since I was a little boy playing Atari in the 80s I wanted to play a game where I could fly to space, between planets, and back in real time. This was the first game that gave me a satisfying experience like that. And it’s still my favorite part.

Edit: I played Star Citizen after which is a better experience for that, I put ~80 hours in so if it never comes out I got my $50 worth of play time. But I stay fairly close to development on it hoping I’ll get to play a finished version someday.

They did for sure, and he’s now careful about what he says which is smart. He learned a ton through that very public failure.

I’m looking forward to their next game.

10 years, I was a much different man when I first played this game. Part of my would like to forget the time and start fresh with all these updates.

I have yet to find a launcher that gives me all the options I want without compromise. I’ve used all the popular ones, many less popular ones.

Though Octopi launcher might work for me. I’ve been able to overcome most of the shortcomings this morning. The having a whole new desktop between portrait and landscape is really bothersome on my tablet so we’ll see if I stick with it.

Plus Octopus is Greek not Latin. I know it’s pedantic over a name but it’s Octopuses.

I’m giving Octopi a shot. It seems to offer most of what I like from Nova. It’s a bit quirky though particularly with placing widgets and editing them.

Any pro-tips you’ve learned you can share with the launcher?

Nova launcher is still fine. I’ve used most of the others and keep coming back.

Instead of a swear jar there needs to be an AI jar.

But instead of putting coins in it when someone says something stupid like this we just kick em in the junk as hard as we can at least once per person who has to read the headline.
