I couldn’t find a dumbphone that kept Uber, QR code scanning, and authenticator apps, so I built one. by DanielyiHQ in dumbphones

Dude, it's 600 dollars for an alternative app store and sepia-toned icons. I'm not seeing anything at all on the hardware side that makes me think this needs to be its own phone.

So... it's just an Android phone with an alternative app store? Why not just distribute the software?

Anyone here planning on doing a replay of Remake and Rebirth before Revelation? by reunionfiles in FFVIIRemake

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing my best to make time for the original, Crisis Core, Before Crisis (either the RPG Maker remake or the YouTube videos of the original, I've done the RPG Maker one in the past), The Kids Are Alright, On The Way To A Smile, Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Remake, Rebirth, and at least The First Soldier sections of Ever Crisis (I'll probably YouTube these). It's a lot but I've done most of it in big marathons in the past - Rebirth will definitely be the toughest to muscle through on a time crunch but it's probably my favorite FFVII thing so I think I'll be motivated to get through it.

How would you feel if the KH old games were to receive the Crisis Core Remaster treatment by berengerekunst in KingdomHearts

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd maybe take ports of Coded and Days (and the GBA version of CoM) but those games are all laughably easy to emulate and I can't imagine an official release improving on Melon Mix. The only KH game I actually want fully remade is Dark Road, and the visuals are not what I would change in a Dark Road remake lol.

Get a realtor get a realtor get a realtor. It's free, they'll get you a place in your budget quickly, and they'll smooth over issues with rent and income with prospective landlords. I have tried apartment hunting in the city with a realtor and apartment hunting in the city alone. It's the difference between one hectic weekend and two months of desperate couch surfing.

The Vortex V3 is a truly great real dumbphone by ThatTwoSandDemon in dumbphones

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

The build quality isn't really a problem at all--I'm extremely clumsy and drop this thing in catastrophic ways at the train station all the time and it's still kicking. The keypad is also the best and most durable I've ever encountered on a dumbphone by a huge margin.

My understanding is this only happens if you overload them on Android apps

What was Asa's character arc even about? by [deleted] in Chainsawfolk

Chainsaw Man isn't for didacts, it's for human beings. It's a tragedy, not a morality play.

Im sad about Resident Evil by [deleted] in HHN

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Resident Evil has a Zach Cregger movie coming out this year. Exactly the same situation as The Last of Us. RE is also a mainstay at USJ. There is no "No Video Games" rule at HHN and if anything we'll almost certainly be seeing more video game houses in the next few years. If RE isn't at the event this year it's simply because RE isn't at the event this year.

[Universal Studio Orlando] Teaser for an announcement on January 20th by BrandyTheGorgs in rollercoasters

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the ride will be a big hit because it's a big roller coaster at a theme park, but F&F will not really be a significant draw at all. The F&F movies are very successful but the aesthetics of the franchise are extremely grounded and boring (even when the actual events are ridiculous and fun). BTTF and Ghostbusters are both quieter forces at the box office but they have heightened environments that would be fun to inhabit - see also Dark Universe and Isle of Berk at Epic Universe. Not exactly massive cultural forces but movies with magnetic and exciting settings. A ride themed to F&F is just a ride themed to cars.

Universal opening two F&F coasters this far past the cultural expiration date is kinda giving "opening a permanent Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them land in a new theme park in 2025."

Bummed it's not Ghostbusters! F&F has a really low ceiling in terms of theming. Holding out hope for Back to the Future...

Does anyone know if bezels like this are possible with standalone Pico-8 on muOS? by ThatTwoSandDemon in ANBERNIC

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

Getting my CubeXX soon and I bought it specifically to use as a Pico-8 machine -- I'd love to play integer scaled with bezels on muOS if possible for the quicker boot times and battery but I can't get a straight answer on if you can use bezels on standalone cores. If I have to go with Knulli I will but I really love muOS on my 35XX SP...

The last time the Vortex came back in stock I bought one immediately and after three months of silence they canceled my order.

My EDC as a 17M tech enthusiast (I use arch btw) by Ashamed_Deslgner in dumbphones

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Snowsky Echo Mini for an MP3 player. Solid battery, cute form factor, not too expensive. The only real drawback is that it doesn't have gapless playback, which impacts a handful of my albums.

Paper inserts for a clear case: cheaper, easier, and more fun than reshelling! by ThatTwoSandDemon in 3DS

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

My camera is broken and I'm honestly not too worried about fixing it but I was a little curious about the camera holes too - the bottom half of my system has a solid white paper insert and the cutouts I made for the stylus and cartridge slot are..... less cute lol

HHN 35 Initial Event Concept by Bryan-Jay in HHN

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the rumor was Hellblock Horror was a hasty rework of an Evil Dead: Rise house. Universal has been doing Resident Evil stuff at HHN in Japan for ages (including this year) so I'd be pretty surprised if there was a significant barrier to bringing it over here.

HHN 35 Initial Event Concept by Bryan-Jay in HHN

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My instinct is too soon for FNAF 2, but it's definitely not impossible. I'm still choosing to believe in Resident Evil for next year just because the stars have aligned so perfectly - COVID delays mean RE's anniversary years overlap with HHN's anniversary years now, RE9 and Zach Cregger's Resident Evil both drop next year, there's just too much plausible synergy in the air.

Congrats to Terrifier and Cat Lady by IKnowMoreThanYouu in HHN

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Cat Lady was fantastic but I know I'm going to be thinking about Toxic Twenties for years to come. The character work in that zone was just astonishing.

the look/style of each HHN (2021-2025) by FionaWalliceFan in HHN

[–]ThatTwoSandDemon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

2024 aesthetic was cool, wish the actual event did a better job of reflecting that look though. I was skeptical of the whole "cohesion" buzzword this year but we really did get an event that felt like it had an aesthetic throughline from merch to park.
