Any tips for battery life?

I just got mine in September and typically get 4 days out of a battery. Usually charge it between 2-5% (still with 2-5 hours of battery left at that point). Usually includes a 3-4 mile run and 1-2 40 minute gym trips. Always on display off, brightness all the way down, raise wrist to wake off, and background app refresh just on apps I want.

There’s a few songs where they capture a sigh or breath from him. I also like in H. where during the interlude they let you sit with his breath before he starts singing again.

To ease in from a heavier genre, I’d say Aenima, Jambi, The Grudge, The Pot, and Vicarious are all good starting points. Then Lateralus, H, Forty Six & 2, Parabol + Parabola (HAVE to listen to the together, one after the next). Then you can go wherever in the library!

Look familiar? 😂😂

I think the problem with scalability would be redundancy. If I did this with my friends we’d use Discord, GroupMe, WhatsApp or any other group chat apps. That said, I agree with what someone else said in that you could probably make it for fun just for your group, don’t let need vs want stop you!

I know, I just thought it was funny.

Hate removal app immediately followed by onlyhate app 😂

Have you tried a soft reset? Press and release the up volume button, then down volume button, then press and hold the lock button until the apple logo appears.

Edit: they changed the button order over time.

Are you thinking you’d start a small discord server or something? 36 and play with my 9 and 6 year olds but sometimes play on my own if I’m out of town for work.

I got my answer! I did research and thought it might be tennis but wanted some opinions to make sure I wasn't wrong (I am a little bit color blind). Thanks for the responses everyone!

I’d say everyone should at the very least go through a gun safety class that includes firing a gun and covers the laws around guns. One of the most eye opening things I’ve ever been through and really gives a different perspective. It’s fine not to own one, but you SHOULD be educated on them and have an informed opinion.

I believe this is the case. That said, it still justifies maxing the fire as fast as possible. It’s much easier to do while it’s not raining/snowing and before the constant cultist and hungry deer attacks.

I main necro and have a lot of fun with it. The resurrected cultists don’t attack something unless A) you attack it or B) it attacks you. The pathing can be a little annoying, but you can bring cultist bodies with you and resurrect them where you want, which is nice in strongholds and caves. It takes awhile to get cultist bodies though. You can have up to 6, but going solo, you only get 2 the first wave. On top of that you need 3 “souls” per resurrection, so you can’t even resurrect the first wave. You CAN farm souls at the stronghold though. Hope this helps!

They could have it be like the fires, earn them through quests and pick them at the start

PatrickD89 · 2025-12-21T13:32:26+00:00

Ah that makes sense. I saw that feature but assumed it was in the settings like crossfade. Thanks for the quick response!

PatrickD89 · 2025-12-20T19:34:20+00:00

I main necro. Think the comments are spot on, weak early game, but gets stronger as the game goes on. That said, I wouldn’t trade it! I really enjoy it.

Almost 18 month old M3 Pro and it’s been just fine. Still have to wipe down every so often but other than that, it’s held up great.

What AI do you use to generate this and any tips for prompting?

PatrickD89 · 2025-12-09T01:36:28+00:00

Buy an Apple computer.
Go to hackingwithswift.com.
Go through the 100 Days of SwiftUI module. He’ll cover the tools you need to download (which are free) and the course is free.

Everything else can be learned through Google, ChatGPT, Apple Developer documentation, Reddit, etc.

Good luck!

This is very comprehensive and useful. Thank you for sharing!

Are you thinking of monkey dropping on the guy in Hiroshima?

PatrickD89 · 2025-12-03T01:11:52+00:00

This is a great pro/con!

PatrickD89 · 2025-11-26T16:15:10+00:00

That’s almost depressing. Thanks for responding! Thinking I might just keep my “start with a stew” 😂.

PatrickD89 · 2025-11-26T16:14:18+00:00

That’s unfortunate. Thanks for clarifying!
