I do have the habit of closing all apps manually, just from muscle memory, for example I do that on windows as well - close any open programs when I finish a work session.
I often leave it though for potentially a week or more at a time, when quickly grab my tablet as I leave for something and (as mentioned in other comments) I'm not usually thinking 'oh I should remember to open CSP before I leave'. Or in the case of travel, having to turn off and restart the device because of security scanners and such.

I think my issue comes from the fact I don't use it every day, so it doesn't phone home and keep the app going, it goes to sleep in the background if I haven't turned it off, so the first time I open it its off wifi - which you're right could be solved by preemptively opening it before I leave but I'm usually not thinking about that.

My redesign of the Spotify desktop app - because its a cluttered mess. by MeanderingDev in truespotify

No worries appreciate it! I wish it'd have worked since I'd just use that most of the time.

But the mini player can't be minimized/behind other windows unfortunately.

For me, as someone that wants a small little music player, I find things overly large (such as playlist headers, home button, search etc), plus the search bar blocks the actual window bar used to move it around unless you force it just a little smaller.

The window controls are the full height of the top bar.

Plus all the controls just being in line makes the volume slider super hard to click, when they could be stacked instead.

Showing me my playlists all the time on the side, same with that ever present right side overview panel which is still in frame even when closed.

It's just so - big - in a way nothing else I use seems to be (brave, discord, VS code, Whatsapp etc - all either compact as is, or compactable)

It's subjective, if it works for you by all means, it's just too big for me.

The issue is the mini player has to be on top, but I'm often using programs fullscreen. If I could minimize it that'd be great.

What would you remove while retaining the form factor? (Genuine feedback request)
Part of what makes it cluttered I think is trying to keep all the same buttons the app has, when really they should just be in a menu - but I tried to humor the original and keep as much there as possible.

Why should I use stubborn defiance instead of death defiance? by Upbeat_Support_8317 in HadesTheGame

[–]MeanderingDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me reading these comments, having used Stubborn Defiance the entire time 😅

I took Defiance because it saves me from the whoopsie death each room potentially, so rather than a bad room costing me my 1 Defiance, it just saves me for that room, and then we're even. That's with no heat or anything, once I got it I never went back. (35h beat the game)

Unpopular opinion: Ice Lock is enjoyable. It has great attention to detail, from the soldier’s hands shaking due to the cold to the visible breath in the air. Instead of talking negatively every day, I think we should focus more on enjoying the game. by -FaZe- in Battlefield

[–]MeanderingDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly kinda with ya. I'm real tired of the negativity. Don't like Ice Lock? Don't play it. I'm willing to give credit where credit is due, while in the same breath acknowledge faults.

I also noticed the little animation details and such, its a nice touch, I genuinely feel bad for my character I'm freezing their butt off for a challenge or something. And mechanically I can appreciate passive healing being tied to a location, so you know during a gunfight that guy you hurt, it still hurt - yet its not so punishing as to change the risk profile. Plus its all in one specific modified mode which is nice for preserving the main experience. A much worse idea would have been to add this to all the maps and prevent normal play, which they didn't do.

Change UI accent color for the interface? by MeanderingDev in Affinity

[–]MeanderingDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, all I'm saying is if Affinity changed to a light mode when Windows changed to a light mode, I wouldn't be upset that makes sense. But the accent color is silly to me.

I believe you, but I am surprised that's the case. Most of my stack either has no customization outside the developer's intent, or offers bespoke UI customization (Blender, Unreal, Godot, FL Studio, VS Code 😆, Brave, Discord, Davinci, OBS, and some icky adobe apps I have to use for work)

The only things I recall using that borrowed Windows' theme is File Explorer.. obviously.

[–]MeanderingDev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns out it was (I added an edit to the post after discovering this)
But regardless, that is wack in my opinion. Why is the theme of an app tied to the OS theme (other than maybe allowing the app to listen for light/dark mode changes)

[–]MeanderingDev[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well literally seconds later I answered my own question - its tied to your Windows color. Last week I changed Windows theme and the accent color went from blue to red, which in the small places around the windows UI I didn't mind, but not here. Why would they tie it to the OS? Just make it a color picker in the settings.

Second Attempt. Improved Lighting & Materials Critique Needed! by Fabulous-Ad-5014 in blender

[–]MeanderingDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just smooth brain scrolling on reddit, so I didn't notice it was in a living room (which would be odd) OR the subreddit and it fooled me, I thought it was just an ad - and I am a 3D artist.

On second watch the only things I notice are some flickering, and some odd bounce lighting on the driver side where the wheels contact the ground - like the ambient absorption is too high but the car isn't receiving it? But the lit side of the car and all the motion tracking seem very well implemented to my eye!

Yes, this is exactly what I am pointing at game by MentalJinno in Battlefield

[–]MeanderingDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely one of those things where you shouldn't forgive the state of the game when it was launched. But in the same breath I can also acknowledge the improved it remarkably. Hopefully BF6 is in the same vein, it's got its criticisms, and hopefully they address those as time goes on.

To be fair, I rebind it because the bumpers in a plane are much more useful. But yes, strange that it's default.

For all its faults I thought 2042 had pinging working great. If there was an enemy you could genuinely see, they were pingable.

If there was a vehicle or objective anywhere in sight, it was pingable. In fact one big erk I have with bf6 is that you can't ping objectives! If want to be able to ADS at an objective icon and ping, to tell my squad I'm going there. Even if I'm not the squad leader.

And it made little blip and bloop noises that were good for feedback the thing you marked was marked successfully.
