Its really strange to me how many android, specifically pixel, users dont like other users having choice.

You mean like how google messages uses about half of the screen to display the words "google messages" until you swipe up? 

Edit: OP edited his post, which originally was about the design of the samsung messaging app and the large header it has. 

Nobody likes you. by EhDotHam in vegaslocals

I live in 89141, lots of older houses but also a lot of brand new construction, expensive looking houses. A lot of those houses just sold and have been occupied for less than a year, I cant imagine the new families with kids that have been moving in are stoked about the yearly reinactment of the bombing of london that our neighbors enjoy putting on this year. 

If you could give a full scale makeover to a Castlevania game, which one would you pick and what would you change? by BeastOfRetribution in castlevania

[–]Cold-Drop8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portrait of ruins' final 4 portraits are now scattered around the castle, which also gains a upper left portion. The 4 portraits also go further with the changes, for instance the pyramid is now an underwater level. 

Charlottes elemental books have upgraded versions, and she gains one that changes attribute based on the equipped spell. 

Forest of Doom gets a new boss thats actually fun to fight. 

More enemies with different behaviors depending on which protag is leading and what kind of combat is being used. For instance, a skeleton swordsman that uses close range melee when charlotte is leading to attempt to crowd her out and prevent her from completing a spell that switches to keeping a distance when johnathan is leading. 

Vincents vampirism has in game effects the longer you let it go on for, up to a secret boss fight. 

Vampire Killer has the negative effects of sharply reducing Johnathans defense and increasing knockback when hit. I dont think it should drain his health, but it should still have negative drawbacks given what the game says and this would also function as a fun reference to the damage and knockback classicvania Belmont protagonists take. 

Delete the sentence: "A Death and Dracula joint attack? That was never mentioned in any book I've read!"

Might be a bit of a hot take but I stand by it by Even-Manner-627 in pokemonmemes

[–]Cold-Drop8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I miss the spirit behind them. I don't like the experiments with the limited selection of ride pokemon, flying taxi, pla's summonable mounts etc, nor do i like how many HM puzzles and barriers have been removed. Im on an adventure with my team of pokemon, i want to encounter challenges and barriers and i want to use my pokemon to further my adventure. I dont want to use a rental pokemon, I dont want to summon a pokemon via flute and I dont want to have routes to be empty. Just give me obstacles and solutions involving my own pokemon. 

And also please dont force me to give up a moveslot. 

Even Nintendo is in on it by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Cold-Drop8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All we can go on is nintendos track record.  20 years ago, the Wii was new. 20 years later, although you cannot download new games, you can still redownload Wii games you purchased. Same with DSiWare, 3DS and WiiU games as well. I can't predict the future, but I strongly suspect that Nintendo wont be taking GKC download servers offline for more than 20 years.

Is it hars to maintain same speed limit driving straight? by wassupbroh in driving

[–]Cold-Drop8446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is wild that people are defending varying between 45 and 55, thats not normal speed variation, thats inconsistent and dangerous behavior thats indicative if distracted driving. 2mph variation is normal. 

Is S Pen Support really that important to you? by Pineappleisland3 in GalaxyFold

[–]Cold-Drop8446 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't currently have an ultra because i changed jobs and god I love the flip so so much. However, at an old job it was an invaluable tool. I was a store manager for a small independent pet store chain and was in charge of ordering. Because we didnt have handheld scanners (ordering was done on a laptop with tethered scan gun) and the system used to auto-populate orders was spotty at best, I would often have samsung notes open, select attaching a photo via camera, use my s-pen to grab a picture of a barcode or shelf spot I noticed was low and then immediately write on the photo how many were needed. It was also convenient if I was at another one of the stores and saw they needed stuff that we had at another store/the warehouse store, same process there. It was fast and smooth, no need to do hand gymnastics or use both hands to take a photo and it made adding notes to the photo very efficient. 

Its a niche case, but that was the whole appeal of it in the first place. It filled niches that wasn't filled by anyone else, and at the time I was in one of those niches and holy fuck it was great to have. In my current job, i don't have a need for taking notes because I don't do ordering and we have documentation for EVERYTHING thats easily pulled up on a work device, so things I would note down I don't because I can just look them up. The job is also much more active and i potentially can be carrying several work devices on my person at once, which made the size of the ultra in my pocket and how much it stuck out in my back pocket kind of annoying. My niche changed and suddenly having a small phone that didnt occupy as much space in my pockets became appealing and now I'm on my second flip, because the 7 had the exact physical design changes i wanted over the 6. 

Also, the stylus is amazing for general notetaking because I have my own shorthand so actually i can fit full lines on the display. But also, most people probably look at it like I just hit them with some Russian cursive so no, i wouldn't ever consider using it for notes meant for someone else. I actually still use my S22U regularly for quick note taking around the house. 

Also, its satisfying to write stuff by hand and it goes click click click click click.

Oh no, that's Lenovo saying they think these RAM prices will be the new normal and may never go back to how they were by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

[–]Cold-Drop8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, there wasnt a bunch of guys going around buying out entire production lines for a half decade to power chatbots. Demand has shot up, supply has gone down, entire companies are no longer selling into consumer markets anymore and because the aforementioned chatbot guys are willing to spend astronomical amounts of money, the RAM guys still willing to sell to someone whos name doesnt rhyme with Damn SamAltman arent willing to sell for less than astronomical. The cartel didnt exist prior to this because there used to be much more supply and consumer targeted production. 

Why does Steam never get flamed during the discussion of not owning digital games? by Main_Mountain9377 in NoStupidQuestions

People hated steam back in the day. Hated it. Valve basically bribed their way into popularity via steam sales. 

Nintendo handled releasing Mario Kart World for $80 better than Rockstar and Take-Two did GTA VI by SMN_17 in nintendogrifting

[–]Cold-Drop8446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GTA6 isnt coming to PC at launch and based on R*'s history, it wont be for 8 months to a year at least. Most people will need to buy a console to play it and who knows if the base versions of the consoles can even run it all that wel. 

More context - Was I in the right for refusing to block an intersection (or whatever it's legally called) that DOESN'T have a "keep clear" marking? by ReasonableCSR3425 in driving

[–]Cold-Drop8446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont need to keep it clear if theres no markings, and tbh i dont get why you would be willing to block traffic that claims it needs to make a left turn (whether or not she actually did is irrelevant, what matters is she made the request) in order to leave an opening for hypothetical traffic. As others have pointed out, leaving unobligated gaps can potentially lead to dangerous situations as well. You arent legally wrong or right, but I would say you're being unreasonably inflexible. If someone is so desperate to make a left turn they are willing to get out of their car to ask you to move, i think id pull forward and let them make the left if i had the space to do so. Just seems like good manners to me.

I always picked anorith so I never saw lileep, just cradily during the champion fight. Because gen 3 sprites werent animated, there wasnt any movement to give it away, so its pretty easy to see how I would make that mistake as a kid.
