  • This company sucks. It’s like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn’t available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

    They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they’ll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.





  • “Consumers demand more and better graphics” Nah, we want optimization now thanks to the Deck. Games like Armored Core VI that are able to downscale fo. The Deck is REALLY nice while games like Remnant 2, which is an absolutely wonderful game, is completely unoptimized and only now can run on the deck ok after a big update for “Potato mode” graphics.

    And yet some of the best AAA games of the past that can look better run at 60fps.

    If anything, developers have gotten out of control with specs required to run their games. Jedi: Survivor is just ridiculous and more games seem to follow suit. Nintendo is obsessed with optimizing for lower end hardware, but imagine if they made a game squeezing out each and every ounce of what a game can be nowadays on newer hardware. We’d see some seriously amazing new optimization techniques as well as showing off the buffoonery that is the current specs situation. Hell, they already did it with Tears of the Kingdom anyways.

    Unfortunately, centrists have just the right amount of the last few things to lack looking further into anything yet make a decision on shallow surfaces.

    Which is EASILY manipulated by conservatives by simply lying that the other side is also doing their bad things. Boom. Now even turf to those who don’t research.

    Centrists seem to lack the ability to reach beyond their own worldview and cautiously accept what’s in front of them to avoid rocking the boat.

    Probably don’t want to raise wages because it’d raise the price of hamburgers. Enjoy that now $12 Carl’s Jr. Burger combo while you sit on not raising minimum wages. Scumbag.

    *Sigh. I’m just frustrated at people willfully being blind to be happy. I get it… But it doesn’t solve anything as evil continues marching on.





  • I would say the pursuit and journey for happiness is the sweet spot. It’s why artists and studios jump right back into some of the hardest processes to go through as they try new things on a new project. After finishing their movie or game, that high of achieving all of those things eventually due down and the question of what happens next settles in.

    Like climbing a mountain. Sure all the enjoyment is at the top, but once you learn to enjoy the grand scheme of the whole process, there lies happiness. Anything could happen, but it doesn’t quite matter because you’re still inspired and driven to climb your mountain.



  • Shooters are wonderful with Gyro. Like Roboquest or Gunfire Reborn with just the right settings can feel amazing. But online shooters like Battlebit Remastered I definitely recommend using a bigger screen for such smaller details in the distance that could kill you.

    Also the d-pad, although I have a very early release version, is atrocious. Only useful for inventory and not for actual older games or fighters because the diagonals require ridiculous squeezing to input. I might need to do a tape modification of something.

    Other than that, the Deck is absolutely amazing!

    I think the difference here is that we know the interface and trusted developer choices of those apps.

    I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy right now and I’m still excited for Sync because I’ve used it for years.

    But each update for Connect so far has been extremely good with quite a few features added. It’s also incredibly straightforward to use. So at this point I’m curious how Sync will step into the ring.

    Hell, it could have all the same features as Connect, but add previewing with a hold and that’d be an amazing thing for compressing posts. But also Sync can cater to left-handed people like me with its customization.
