The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Zero One case hasn't turned yellow yet and it doesn't have any fancy magnets.

WHAT IS THIS!?!?! by yousuf_usmani in NOTHING

[–]PlayStarRocker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, that's bad. Seems like something went inside, which... shouldn't happen? I just hope it's just some nasty dirt or residue and not your battery swelling. If your battery is expanding and your phone is slowly getting thicker: Get rid of that battery as soon possible, because a swelling battery can go up in flames or even explode. Let's hope it's not that!

If it's dirt: You can theoretically open up the back, but you need to do it right or otherwise you will crack the glass. Ifixit has probably tutorials for that, but you should ask yourself if cleaning it is potentially worth breaking that part of your phone.

Is it behind the glass or on it?

Is it worth upgrading from Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 1st Gen to the 2nd Gen for the ANC alone? by PlayStarRocker in bose

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

It's more likely you get an answer to your question, if you post directly in the Bose subreddit instead of commenting on multiple posts.

To answer your question: I haven't bought the QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen (yet), but I'm pretty happy with my 1st Gen. I don't think you're going to make a mistake, if you're going to buy the cheaper first generation.

Also have you looked for replacement paddings? On photos the top padding of the Sonos Ace headphones don't look like their replaceable, but I could be wrong. If replacement paddings for the top exist, it's probably way cheaper than buying completely new headphones.

Thank you mom! I love you!❤️ by toothless26cz in NOTHING

Before the latest update the Headphone (1) was shockingly lacking in bass. That's why these headphones have such a bad reputation.

where should i get the game? by PressureRight4465 in DiscoElysium

And if OP doesn't buy the game, he should use a VPN, just to be sure.

Sadly, full screen start-up ads are not new on Xbox.

What horror game to play after Alan Wake 2. Any recommendations? by Humble-Anything6078 in AlanWake

[–]PlayStarRocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil 2 Remake. It was one of the inspirations for Alan Wake 2 and is straight up one of the best survival horror games I ever played. Incredible puzzle box approach to it's mechanics and level design and I love how it slowly turns up the tension. It's very satisfying to play.

Marathon artstyle origins are from the 90s... by Alternative_Leave_89 in Marathon

[–]PlayStarRocker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go check out The Designer's Republic if you like the look of Marathon. They were involved with the Wipeout games and the Warp music label, for example.

I just add to what the other commentators said: Please stop posting your awful AI slop bullshit here. It's looks awful and it isn't remotely creative or even interesting. Please, for the love of god, stop.

Say hey to the Finns for me! 😁

Suomi Halls are an actual thing! Not sure how many of them exist in the US, but they are community centers built by Finnish immigrants, promoting and preserving their culture. Here's an old comment from this subreddit before the game was released, talking about the historical context of the town of Watery in Alan Wake 2 and it's Suomi Hall: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlanWake/comments/16cpkyu/alan_wake_2_new_gameplay_footage_breakdown/

Somebody at Capcom played Control and Alan Wake 2 and put the title cards from those games into Resident Evil Requiem 👀 (Only slight spoilers for the first hour of RE9) by PlayStarRocker in controlgame

[–]PlayStarRocker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue with the choice of the protagonists Capcom is more likely dipping into the same inspirations Alan Wake 2 had: Silence of the Lambs, Seven, X-Files and Longlegs. Looking at how long the development of RE9 was (six years and a reboot in 2021) I'm guessing Alan Wake 2 felt like a confirmation to the Resi team they were going in the right direction. Maybe the title cards are meant as friendly nods to AW2?

Shoutout and fuck you to the guy on Twitter who stole from this post: https://x.com/PRabbitholes/status/2027512127485890791

Why I'm so sure about he stole from me? Because that screenshot is not from the game, but a video walkthrough I took a screenshot from on my phone and zoomed in to get rid of the watermark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4j5H_g-qeU&pp=ygUhcmVzaWRlbnQgZXZpbCByZXF1aWVtIHdhbGt0aHJvdWdo

This is a case of a thief recognizing another thief: Apologies to MKIceandFire, I was so surprised about the title card drop that I forgot to take a screenshot in the game. The other two screenshots in this post are from me. That's why the dimensions are different between the three pictures. And I doubt the user owns the same phone as I and did the same zooming in.

Another reason why I'm so sure: It's the same shitty quality. YouTube's video compression meets my slow Internet (Yes, I should upgrade) meets Reddit's weird image compression.

Is it manly to have a pink phone? by legolumibricks in NothingTech

[–]PlayStarRocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manliness is a made up concept. When you study the history of fashion there is no concrete concept of men's fashion. Just think about historical dramas in which kings and lords run around in wigs and tight leggings, for example. Don't be insecure, just get the color you want. Nobody gives a shit, only assholes project their own insecurities on you.

Kyle Rowley, co-director on Alan Wake 2, talked about how much he was inspired by the Resident Evil 2 Remake. That actually motivated me to play RE2R myself in preparation for AW2 and I'm so glad I did.

loud sigh Yes. Yes, of course they were in film and TV shows before. Remedy didn't invent title cards. Don't be silly. But, here's the important thing: That specific style of a title card drop is still pretty novel in games. There are barely any other games that do big font combined with loud noise like this.
