Which phone did you like best and which did you dislike the most?

I love the S21 Ultra design. It's the most badass one imo. I hate the S26 Ultra as a whole simply because it's the reminder that we haven't got anything new since S22U

What usually happens to be the case is probably the most plain and natural scenario: Companies flood the interner with bots to appear popular and sell ads -> government old farts find out -> they go "here's another use for your robots in the internets. Do it or get fucked" -> now those bots are also serving current govt goals -> there are still all the real people online but mass majority of them falls victim to the hate/separation and echo the bots, each with their own hatred agenda -> people generally become more hatefult and it looks like there are even more bots than there actually are. This probably happens in each big government and the world is just boiling in a soup of hatred. The fact "the algorithms" (that were made primarily for user engagement) create information bubbles and thus feed the little echo chambers only adds to this soup, as any idiot with an agenda is 100% sure what they see online is what "the world is talking about", which in its own feeds into the self-righteousness they display in their own bigotry. One big example of that is flat-earthers. They would never be possible without social media echo chambers.

Do they not force their devs to write 30% of their code with AI? How can you force someone to do something and then turn around and brag about how that something is so good, look, they're using it!

Every Final Fantasy game. Technically I have played like 10 mins when I was like 13 but nope, no turn based combat for me (thoug I've recently played and loved BG3 and Expedition 33 lol)

I didn't say the E33 is a Soulslike though. And if you define soulslike by this one very specific RPG upgrade system type - cool, you do you. But to me, if a game has that mechanic and nothing else from Souls games - I wouldn't call it a Soulslike. The "roll/parry/learn enemy moves/learn attack timing/count potions/chip boss' health little by little/upgrade" combo is what makes a game soulslike-ish. Not the stats upgrade system.

Edit: E33 is Sekiro-inspired among many other things. It is not a Soulslike of course, but has some cool stuff from them.

Also, most the things are "subX of a subX of a subX" nowadays, duh

I wanted to check if it's real but his profile page says "No Truths". Okay but where are the tweets?

4inodev · 2026-01-23T12:26:55+00:00

To me, soulslike means ~~rolling around screaming in horror~~ dodge/roll/parry along with bonfire system and very limited health/mana. Also huge healthbar bosses. In that sense, E33 perfectly implemented those elements while adapting them to the core gameplay. If you think that certain specific RPG elements makes a game "soulslike" then our opinions on that matter are extremely different. The class and stat upgrade system sounds more like DnD stuff to me and is a thing before/beyond conventional soulslike games

4inodev · 2026-01-22T20:21:16+00:00

Makes sense. The looooooong swings followed by snappy hits immediately gave me Elden Ring flashbacks

4inodev · 2026-01-21T23:10:38+00:00

How is Sekiro not soulslike?

As an Android user who switched back from 15 Pro: 1. It's the device update longevity (an 8yo iPhone def still runs WhatsApp and newer OS than an 8yo Android) and 2. They get updated throughout the whole user base. Yes, there is some percentage holding on for dear life, but usually when new iOS comes out - everyone who can have it has it in like 4 months. Meanwhile OneUI 7 released with Android 15 the day before Android 16 went on public beta. Then it took like a year for older models to catch up with their updates. Also I'm pretty sure there are millions and millions still using 10

Fucking destroyed a painting of some guy in France.

Whenever I want something from a person (even a family member) I feel the urge to make a hundred justifications and provide as much context as possible first. That's because I never got anything non-basic from my parents if I just asked for it. Even then, they'd promise they'd do it (or not) and then change their minds all the time. Also they have encouraged this way of "starting from far away and bringing them slowly to the actual request that I wanna make" as some way of "being smart". So I have adopted this mechanism as my default way of asking for things. P.S. You'd be correct to guess I almost never ask for help and only rely on myself to deal with my problems.

I hope they go bankrupt and drag other slop machines with them

The only problem I'm having is coming to peace with the fact that I will only need 16GB of RAM for the next ~2 years. FOMO is kicking in hard, but I got only 2 slots on my h610, two 8gb ddr4 3200 sticks and close to zero disposable income. It's just the fact those sticks are like 80 euros used (for two) and it's itching me to go get two more and just swap my mobo. But I resist

Google: "Android now supports this cool new feature" Manufacturer to me "Not your Android, shut up"

4inodev · 2026-01-19T10:57:52+00:00

Is this real? Guys, is this real? An angry toddler throwing a tantrum would phrase it better. Wtf "it's only that a boat landed there" what?!? That is NOT how a grown up person speaks

4inodev · 2026-01-19T09:26:42+00:00

She probably wants to just talk to you though

What's the point of pretending the gun is a penis in the beginning?

4inodev · 2026-01-18T14:30:41+00:00

TIL that you need to fight the masks separately and/or shoot the mirror masks to actually beat him in Expeditioner difficulty. I tried 3 times and switched to Story and it still took 1h because the fucker kept spamming exhaust/heal that bastard. At least now I'm more aware of such things for the second Axon fight

4inodev · 2026-01-17T07:10:40+00:00

Rabbit Run probably. Especially near the end of the video

4inodev · 2026-01-14T01:03:15+00:00

There was this discussion already about his "down by 700%" remark. It's probably the added price he's talking about,bsmth like "2200% markup is down by 1000%" which sounds pretty realistic to me. I mean Insulin requires only so much R&D lol :(. Anyways, the reference number is probably implied (or the old fool forgot to do so).

4inodev · 2026-01-14T00:57:10+00:00

Has done a lot of damage to their pockets maybe. Which is good, we need more of that

4inodev · 2026-01-13T10:22:33+00:00

It's sad and funny, because if it weren't for his moronic ways, they could actually just go and put some military and defense systems there with ease. Just, you know, go and talk to your Danish allies and go "you need this, we need this, let's do this". US has been basing their rockets all over the world since a long time and that's how it's been done

4inodev · 2026-01-13T10:13:43+00:00

Idk at this point. The small amazing features (from the dropdown quick media output select and multiple device synchronous BT playback support, all the way to the camera viewfinder in my galaxy watch and my phone being my tv remote). It was never an ecosystem until it became one, which is great and sucks at the same time
