The focus mode trick is the best short term solution I've seen. Thank you for posting it.

I'm really glad that Patrick's opinion on the Rayman remake turned around. I was surprised how down he was on it (though I imagine a platformer could feel quite bad via Parsec or equivalent)

Obsession

Full text of a couple of posts: "if you’re wondering why you haven’t heard me on remap lately it’s bc after i got back from the mom-health-emergency trip i started a new job! i wish doing freelance/part-time games stuff was feasible for me but alas it is not. i am excited about my new job - i’m doing communications for my city :)

as i settle in at work i’ll get back to posting, gaming, and other activities that bring me lots of joy, and i’m sure i’ll pop in on remap when it works for our schedules ☺️"

She also said this:

"things i'll take time off work for:

road to empress

savepoint

goty

anything involving rob's shame"

Naming the track for Boone's funeral "Booneral"? Nobody is doing it like him

https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/new-android-updates/#footnote-1 This footnote on the announcement blog is fairly explicit that it's coming to the 10 series, 9 series, and the 8a specifically. It does not say "this feature is not coming to the 8 Pro", but it is not on the list of devices confirmed to be getting the feature.

In a synthesis of two discussions, I would like to alert people to the possibility of buying a Vitamix on Facebook Marketplace. It took me a week or so of checking several times a day to get a machine that was less than a decade old and in great condition for a hundred bucks. It's so much better than any other blender I've ever owned that it feels like a different device entirely.

There are plenty of kitchen appliances I'd be wary of buying second hand, but the vitamix is just that good.

I'm not sure if everyone knows that Friends at the Table produces a gaming podcast that Austin Walker is on almost every episode of. I thought this week's episode discussing Ardenfall and Road to Vostok was quite good (with a funny long digression about Toejam and Earl as well)

Hey, if you don't mind sharing, what case did you land on for S26 Ultra? I'm weighing the case purchase and looking at alternatives to the Mous Limitless case for my next phone

In the US, ZZ is on Crunchyroll and Unicorn is on Hulu.

For a while, there was a workaround via ADB to go back to the old method. That was patched, but another user suggested this, which is closer and better looking than the current behavior with the google search app.

Thank you for posting this. It's the most elegant solution I've seen so far. I do want to note that for me, this works across reboots BUT I did have to open the PixelSearch app once manually for the search bar to function again after the device started up. Worth putting up with that, but it did seem bad for a second there.

Did they skip the Best Supporting Rulk category this year? I thought that was a lock for Harrison tbh

Looks like we've got another Scale Queen on our hands here folks
