omg, you use = for eyes, you sick fuck?

Hot take incoming - Fat Boy Slim was always making slop music so it makes sense that their new music video is AI slop.

Never even heard of it until now. Did I accidentally steal a plot-point from it? lol

Imagine they take them out and dispose of them separately, and some dude finding out at the open casket that his wife was packing fakes for their entire marriage and being outraged.

It's like a bad sitcom plot.

I liked it briefly, but it fell off for me. I feel like there needs to be an area to go to, or missions to pick up, or something that is a higher difficulty. I feel like a mid-range quality ship and weapon will do everything in the game without issue, and when you continue to get upgrades and suddenly everything the game has to throw at you poses so little of a challenge you could afk while being shot at with little issue... Well, it didn't hold my attention anymore unfortunately. I really want to like it more than I do.

It's not solely an affordability problem though. A big problem for me is being expected to toss out a piece of tech that still works perfectly fine because the manufacturer said so.

Also, who's to say this thing even still exists in 3 years to just buy another one. Realistically, the hope is what? They just keep releasing a new version every year so you can always just buy the newest one? Sorry. I hate the mobile phone market so much. :( I should be able to get excited by a phone that looks like you could throw it down a mountain and then still use it without issue, but this industry has me so beat down I just can't.

What are you, HR?

That's new and exciting territory then, unless you play games in such an unhinged way that it seems normal to you now... lol

I'm curious how much better it really performs over using the windows version and proton. I feel like it might be worth a shot to see if the game just hates you specifically or if there is something wrong (and worth reporting if you have the time and energy) with the Linux native build.

That's kinda my point. Android 18 is likely to come out in or around 2028. So you'll get 4-ish years of updates. I know batteries got headlines a few years back, but the complete lack of software support is the real "planned obsolescence" pandemic.

Also, this is not an gripe specifically about this phone, but the phone markets in general. 4 versions of Android is on the high side for a lot of Android phones... I've seen several that only get 2 and its disgraceful.

Seems cool and all, but if it stops getting OS and security updates 2 years later, then I don't really give a shit about the removable battery. My last 2 phones were replaced because the OS was SUPER old and no longer getting updates, and the batteries would still last long enough to get through the work day.

Really, the swappable battery is not the "headline" feature imo.

I'd be curious to know what happened before this screen shot was taken. The coords under the mini-map are nuts, and I'm curious if the character was 'flung" way out of bounds or if it teleported there. I know the windows version had some weird situations you could find yourself in (or force yourself into) that would "fling" the character a long way, but usually put you though a loading screen that would get rid of the "momentum" and drop you somewhere playable.

Guess what I'm getting at is it might not be specific to the linux build, and might have just been a 1 in a million situation you happened to find on the linux version. The game wasn't perfect so either is possible really.

No it isn't. At the right-most side of the graph "unknown" is higher than OSx, and "other" is above Linux and ChromeOS.
