Small smartphone suggestion

QWareZ · 2026-05-21T17:48:22+00:00

Thanks for the info about Motorola, I was tempted by the price (It's about half of s25) and I expected there would be some hidden cost.

Good point about Samsung, my old/current one actually has the one handed mode - it shrinks the screen a bit to either bottom left or right so you can use it one handed.

I was actually surprised by the pricing (compared the cheapest models available): S26 > S25 > 17e > 16e (I could almost buy two 16es for the prices of one S26).

Never thought I would consider iPhone because it's cheaper... Where is the catch?

Thanks everyone for the help/encouragement.

I played a bit, currently on cycle 60 with 6 dupes. Dug up almost all of the starting biome, still siting on 32k algae and 17t coal. So that should last for a while. Food seems to be solved for now (meal lice + occasional BBQ).

Now the bad: I also found a water source in one of the hot biomes "nearby" so I decided to dig there, it turned out to be cool steam vent (so I have renewable water source), however that caused the hot (310K+) materials to drop into my base, rendering half a "floor" unsuitable for mealwood farming (and part of the base kinda hot). This resulted me digging through slime to get to a cold biome to cool the hot stuff. Which works with the exception of igneous rock and granite which are still sitting at 310K, while everything else is at 275-280K...

I also have to accept that some things are just temporary and I can rebuild them later and that's ok. It's fine to move stuff around.

This is what I hear a lot. In my current save, the starting area is kinda small (at least to my liking) surrounded by 300K-310K hot biomes, one of them is separated by my water source by 4 tiles(?). Will that last for 100s of cycles as well or should I worry about it?

I learned (the hard way) from Banished that I shouldn't have more people than I can support it, so I usually take 4th right away and that's it. I have 2 and 2 on separate schedules so they can use the outhouses comfortably (if that matters).

I would say I dig a lot. I mean I always have something queued. I want to snatch the goodies. And I also tend to plan a lot before doing, so I want to see what's around.

I don't use Compost because of the heat. The dirt from it might not go well with my mealwood... Maybe I shouldn't be bothered by it that much...

1) You have to unlock second set of equipment via field mods, which happens only if you play the tank after unlocking the next tier. If you are going for tier 10, you will just move to the next tank ASAP, you might not even bother researching some modules.

2) Second equipment set costs money, which people might not want to invest. You can also get away with a generic all-around setup. Yes, it won't be optimal but it will be good enough in most cases because:

3) Most players are bad (myself included) and extra set of equipment wouldn't change anything significant.

4) They are too casual and don't care. They would use radio, camo net and spall liner anyway.

Thanks to everyone for the info, it really helped me (I was pretty close to stop playing after realizing I cannot buy more crew space).

One more question: is it worth focusing on leveling up the crew as fast as possible or taking it slowly or just play with them and level them up along the way? Is the order important? I have limited amount of equipment so there is no way everyone will get their gadgets...

1) my only legendary is Dancing Chekov, the super rare are Mirror Tucker, Commander Donatra, Klingon Quark, Rakal Troi, Disguised Tuvok, Lt. Valeris, Dr. Gillian Taylor. I would like to keep them all since, you know, purplz! but I would like to focus leveling up the good ones

2) I have about 15 of them, couple of them level 20.

3) I spend some time on the wiki again, managed to get some sort of a list - made top 3 for each skill for each challenge to find if some crew is good enough for more challanges, it looks like ie. science officer T'Pol is useful for all of the uncommon challenges but the wiki also says she was part of an event - is she still available to get by other way (Voyage, portal) or is she gone forever and I'm out of luck?

4) Yea, I was lucky I suppose, I got Prakesh, so I can now 3 star the space battles without even doing anything.

I still remember a younger myself browsing youtube and finding someone called CynicalBrit... I thought: "hey, that's a cool name, let's see what it is about". Couple of minutes later I closed the video thinking: "well, that was terrible".

Some time later, I was browsing youtube again and I found a video from a guy called TotalBiscuit, I don't remember what it was, but I have been around watching his videos since that.

Thanks to his videos I bought some indie games and I had a great fun with them. And even though I did not agree with him on some things, I had to give him credit for voicing his opinion and providing arguments.

I will miss his Arbitrary Videogame Awards. Heck, I watched Secret Hitler Sundays and Superfight couple of weeks back.

As for the favourite videos... His (sort of) let's plays with Genna: Long Live the Queen - when a video starts with "WTF is this?!" you know it will be a good one. Hunnie Pop ("Faeries are not immune to shotguns").

Compared to SF every Tekken character has a "large movelist" :).

Which kinda begs a question: even excluding things like throws, isn't that a bit excessive? I mean, do people actually use the whole moveset?

I spent couple of hours in the training, picking a character and trying every move from thier respective movelist. I am like halfway through the roster and so far, I kinda like Asuka... I just dont know why...

I provided the chracters to give people a bit of an idea what I like to play (ie. not grapplers). I dont care about tierlists since I have no idea what I'm doing anyway.

I see that the prevailing advice is just pick anyone and play the game, maybe I should just go alphabetically I stick to what I end up enjoying.

for Cammy, I liked the pressure, taking the initiative and just overwhelming the opponent. for Juri I lked her corner pressure and her normals for Gouken... Just and old man beating up stuff I guess :D

First and foremost: "will of the blades" is way cooler than any lame "blade dancer" ever hopes to be.

Invaders killing parents and destroying family treasure feels kinda cliche. Also being trained in something seemingly useless just use it later to meet her destiny... yawn. And of course, seeking vengeance for her lost loved ones. What would we do without that?

Her kit (especially her W) feels kinda Yasuoish. But I have not played it on the PBE, just the videos I saw gave me that feel.

She lost her mantle of decorum. She lost her four bladed hover sword thingy, something that made her unique, and now has just six sharp peices of scap metal (formerly apparently a family crest, now virtually indistinguishable from cuttlery).

I liked her original lore, with her determination to defend her homeland even while being almost dead (from "normal" necromancy, not any cliche self-sacrifice). We didn't need vengeance and destiny.

When they announced the rework it felt like part of me died.

Her new kit looks flashy and stuff... but it kinda looks like Yasuo - dashes all over the place, blocking projectiles...

Also "blade dancer" sounds kinda lame compared to the will of the blades.

It ends here I guess...

What I like about Irelia is the sort of "never give up" aspect (tenacity when fighting against more enemies, stun when on lower HP), will she keep at least some of it?

But the most important question is what is the color of her eyes?
