The discussion was about accidental presses, that’s a problem that is non-existent for 99% of people because they use a case (to protect the phone from drops bc it’s glass). Glass screens are afraid of drops, but most people prefer that to plastic that scratches really easily. I’d rather not go back to plastic screens.

If you want, you can buy a drop-resistant phone with thick bezels and extra padding already included. XR21 for example, or whatever unihertz is doing. Plenty of phones have started doing grippy panels too.

Have you looked into getting a dac? Since most phones don’t have them built-in anymore. Would also widen your search area bc pretty much all modern phones with IR blasters are jack-less

Idk, mine are very thin and with a case on it’s not a problem. More screen real estate while keeping the same dimensions is a good thing imo.

The last of America’s Army games, see this steamdb page for screenshots. I tried it years ago and got a vibe of proto-insurgency, it’s somewhat realistic, even the tutorial is decent, but as you can imagine they just wanted a good recruitment tool and this wasn’t it.

the same way they were 10-15 years ago

So with more crunch and no unions? It goes both ways, it’s not a monolithic culture where passage of time simply makes things worse

Exactly, it’s an awful treadmill. EA as a whole was at nearly 60% profit last year. Coupled with layoffs, it seems they’re trying to keep that infinite spend as potential as possible lol

I just hope something good comes out of recent ex-rspn teams.

Afaik they’re still using awful third-party servers, lag compensation is still aggressive as fuck, they tried to “fix” visibility by slapping a bandaid in the form of healthbars, and the anticheat thing was another bandaid instead of a surgery. Overall it’s kinda stuck, all of the old issues are still there.

They have a shitload of new cosmetics though, if that’s your jam. Funnily enough, they were so greedy even esport orgs didn’t want to keep working with them. Rspn offered a one-time payment, orgs wanted a percentage of sales. Mind you, it’s a fairly big esport that advertises the game for them (btw played on better servers than available in-game).

Imagine making billions (with an S) off of one game and still calling it a miss. Chasing infinite growth is so dumb.

Mute the poster?

tbf most Gamers don’t care. Just look at how often that “delayed game is eventually good” picture gets reposted
