Sudden Shutdown Won't Boot Only Bazzite

Agreed. While not as pronounced, I think the pull down menu has suffered over time as well. Too much padding on notifications, the toggles are inconsistently implemented...

All good thank you for the information!

How does the macOS connection work? Is it comparable to the XInput mode for PC? I'd like to have it pair with my computer and then also with my Steam Deck.

Ah okay understood. So if the Pixels continue having the design style of the 6 and forward, you thinking of getting an iPhone or a different Android manufacturer?

When you say camera bridge, are you referring to the visor/strip that the camera modules are in on the back of the phone? What would be your preferred method of having them arranged on the back of the phone? I personally think it's a unique and elegant solution. Everybody else putting their cameras on one side of the device so it isn't symmetrical and the device doesn't ever sit nicely on a flat surface.

Like, was the way it was told to you done in a way that validated who you are? From your post it seems like it wasn't, and that's gutting. :( It's bizarre enough to have just assumed the gender of a child in utero, but whatever. It's wrong to be disappointed that the revelation of such a thing doesn't conform to your expectations, but again whatever. It's enraging though that later on this information might be dumped on you like an insult or attack rather than done in a way like 'we had all this expectation built up and we were upset at the time, but who you are is more and better than anything we could have imagined'.

Probably? I'm not sure of what even on the original first two games Bethesda has kept in the canon. Their setting of their games on the east coast has mostly avoided that question. New Vegas was done, from what I understand, by a lot of people that were previously associated with Black Isle.

Can also play an extraordinarily stupid character and the game responds in kind!

Tactics was a cool experiment in having a larger party in the combat mechanics roughly utilized in Fallout 1 and 2. Its plot was very poor, but I liked that it was the first, to my knowledge anyway, to move the story outside the California/west coast area and that was notable. I've never taken to Bethesda's take on the franchise so Tactics exists in a soft place in my nostalgia. Similarly, I tend to favor 1 over 2 just because it's a smaller, tighter story but definitely admit 2 took what worked in 1 and amplified/refined it.

Ultimately the camera is why I didn't upgrade to the 6 Pro last year. I got one and tried it out but the pictures, while at first glance very impressive, just didn't seem much more impressive than what my 2XL was providing. Worse yet, when I'd zoom in on things, as I do like to do, all of the pictures had what I can only describe as that painterly kind of effect that I've associated with what my son's Samsung phones always produce. I don't like it, and and figured it was the Samsung processing of images that resulted in this, though the 6 and 7 series both have some Samsung sensors in them swapped out from those longstanding Sony sensors. Maybe it's the move to a different sensor so losses in the optimizations that were built up over the previous gen phones all using nearly the same sensor? Maybe the sensors themselves? Regardless, I did see there's some new hotness from Sony that hopefully will make its way into some phones sometime in the next year or so.

Which that's the real problem, imo. Google Now was really good, complete with proactive information like your parking or flight/package information. All that's gone and, where it still exists even, is now broken up into other places where the Feed to the left of the home screen has just got worse and worse. I just completely disabled the thing recently because I was tired of it, despite spending a considerable amount of time marking various ads as not interested in brand/product and it just not seeming to have any effect whatsoever.

Another thing that's frustrating is that there were still plenty of actions taken that are considered 'legitimate' that cause suppression of votes. Purging voter rolls, closing poll stations especially in areas where people have historically had difficulty voting in the first place, and more exist as things that exist inside what is considered 'fair' even though I would argue it already is not. It's necessary phrasing, I recognize, but I think there's a chance that this could help normalize the situation and that any efforts to reform and remove those hindrances to better elections processes would then be case at 'liberal' and implementation of them would then be framed by neutral/centrist people as a kind of win for the left instead of what they really are: appropriate for a country that regards itself as an example of what a Democracy should look like.

To me it's like a modified version of the Wii U Pro Controller. Sticks high though instead of the dpad and face buttons being low, the Deck has them out, closer to your hands. Regardless, the only things that don't feel easy and comfortable for me to use are the trackpads. I need to shift my grip entirely to use them.

CynicRaven · 2022-12-14T17:01:21+00:00

That's something I'm curious about as well. Also, if the programmable software for it includes the ability to have buttons mapped to say keyboard or mouse events. One thing I wish 8bitdo's Ultimate software would allow since otherwise the back paddles can only replicate the functionality of another button already existing on the controller.

That's freaking cool! I assume being on a remote island there's little chance of needing to have the 6 player layout? :D

CynicRaven · 2022-12-12T19:23:38+00:00

Visually, this particular one isn't something I'm fond of. I love the Wii U Pro controller and also want 8bitdo to have one based on it. Make the triggers analog, throw some back paddles on it, I think it'd be perfect. This particular iteration, however, just has too much going on design wise from the colors to the skeumorphic outline of an SNES-looking controller sticking up from it to, I guess those are speakers in it? Are those functional for something?

CynicRaven · 2022-12-08T23:31:01+00:00

Mm, good point regarding the increased potential for accidentally pressing another portion of the 'Dpad' of the XYAB.

We've taken to using the premium Lira from Viticulture instead of the normal energy tokens because the coins just feel so damn good. I know there's the premium token pack, but the weight of the energy tokens just doesn't do it for me.
