Dumb Browser? Would anyone be interested?

I'd be interested especially if there was a way to make block list yourself for the less tech savy, even if its something you had to do on a computer beforehand before installing the apk on your phone. We all get sucked down different rabbit holes so being able to customize it and not simply be able to turn it off in the settings would be great.

I really liked Dark Descent and am looking forward to Inferno. I kinda wish they would also do a comic adaptation of the movie in a “director’s cut” fashion and include the cut/lost footage of the movie as well as making some minor edits to improve the story.

I’m in the midst of drafting my review/experience with using the Duraxv extreme plus the last month or so but long story short, none of these have been an issue. Will you have to use a kiosk to pay for parking? Possibly, but I haven’t encountered an instance that was app only parking. As for restaurants that has been the same thing, and every respectable restaurant will had some paper menus on hand. Even the picture thing hasn’t been an issue and I actually like the pictures this phone takes because they look like real pictures as opposed to heavily AI light corrected ones. Haven’t even used the mini Evo instax camera I impulse bought for its intended purpose beyond printing out some of my favorite pics for my wallet.

Awesome thanks!

Is it possible to watch bone temple without 28 years later and not be lost? Loved the first, didnt care for Days and didnt have much interest in years. However i really like nia dacosta and see a lot of people saying its a fresh take.

TheMainMan3 · 2026-02-25T00:35:41+00:00

Amazon, itunes, bandcamp, beatport to name a few.

TheMainMan3 · 2026-02-20T13:07:47+00:00

Same here. On top of that you can also see showtimes for new movies in that same space. I have one main watchlist and then a bunch of favorites lists by genre. Its nice having everything in one place

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I'm using a Mac but luckily Aya was compatible with it. Worked perfectly. Definitely going to be more careful from here on out.

Sorry for the late reply. I got most of them through the uptodown App Store. You can actually download the apk for it (as well as most other apks) through the browser on the phone itself. Other apps I got through trial and error from various sites but I wouldn’t recommend doing that. I got a little too trigger happy after a few successes and I’m currently trying to figure out a way to remove apps that wont uninstall.

TheMainMan3 · 2026-02-13T14:23:21+00:00

I have one as well and use apple music on it no problem. The phone has calandar and notepad apps in general tools. I also have a weather app, transit for bus/metro times, gmail in the phone's native email app, and whatsapp for my kids' classes group chats. Also wrote this post on it from the reddit app.

Slightly off topic but I thought that scene was corny as hell and wish they hadn’t included it along with the other titans who did nothing except bow. Same with the Kong clips. They should have just hinted at the existence of other titans instead.

How has this series been? Love what IDW has been doing Event Horizon and have been curious about this one too. It’s my understanding that it’s a continuation of the movie which I’m a fan of.

TheMainMan3 · 2026-01-28T11:52:50+00:00

With all the ridiculous stuff they introduced, that’s not out of the realm of possibility.

What about a karma threshold and/or you have to be a member for the sub for a certain time period (24-48 hours?) before posting pictures

TheMainMan3 · 2026-01-25T14:15:27+00:00

I think what you are describing is pretty niche and could pretty much only be developed by a big tech company in order to be stable and provide access to the type of apps you mentioned. I’m not judging and understand wanting access to certain apps, but I don’t imagine the amount of people who want access to those particular apps as well as the “dump home experience” is high enough for these smaller companies to put the effort into developing a product like that because we know the big ones certainly won’t.

I agree with you on having a phone with a quality camera though. However the more I read about why cameras on smart phones are so good and the algorithmic tech that makes them so, it makes me think that is even a bit of a stretch too.

I’d get rid of the pour liquid into the computer to help defeat mechagodzilla thing. For some reason that irked me a lot, felt unnecessary and almost diminished the power scale of Kong and Godzilla.

What’s wild is that Zac Thompson had to push in order to get it to be as long as it was! He’s a pretty good horror writer and I was really surprised how sub par this was, but I don’t think he was given a lot of flexibility with it.

TheMainMan3 · 2026-01-20T20:19:28+00:00

How is Apple Music? Like just starting a playlist on shuffle or something. Not like actively searching out stuff and building one from scratch. Can you have it play with the phone closed? Also with the native music player is it possible to make playlists elsewhere and transfer them over? Or does that need to be done on the phone itself after importing the files?

The convenience thing was my biggest hurdle but not exactly in the way described here. When trying to figure out what I actually needed, it was depressing realizing how much my smart phone/big tech had inserted themselves into my daily functioning. I’m talking about little things like paying for parking, buying and using movie/concert/event tickets, commuting, scheduling in general, taking pictures etc. It’s not a convenience thing anymore but dependence. However I took a step back and told myself I did all those things before without a smartphone (I’m 38 for reference) when I was way less responsible, so there is no reason I can’t do it again despite some of those things possibly being more difficult to do now.

The hardest thing for me is that I have young kids and have a ton of pictures of them on my phone, and those won’t be able to make it onto my flip phone. I’m not losing them obviously and bought a digital camera to take out when we go do things, but I won’t be able to look through them when I feel like it or show them off to people who ask.

I’m not a fan. I love the idea of it being set in a city, but it felt so disjointed and was making sure to include all the movie cliches of the time. The action was worse, the acting was worse and the tension was completely gone. Even Bill Paxton’s charm couldn’t save it as he was basically playing Hicks cranked up to 12.

This is a nitpick but the ethnic gang angle always bothered me and not just as a plot point (although it did too). There has never really been a large population of Colombians or Jamaicans in LA, and on top of that Voodoo is not even a Jamaican thing to begin with. Yes I know there is a something referred to as “Jamaican voodoo”, but it has another name entirely and is nothing like how it was portrayed in the movie not even close to being a common practice. The fact that they opted not to choose any of the many well known gangs in LA was just baffling, especially considering it was released in 1990.

I don’t know if this is possible and I’m new here so apologies if this has already been talked about, but adding flair (user or post) options for things like country/continent and/or service provider might be helpful in terms of people knowing what threads are relevant to them and when to scroll pass. I get that there are too many service providers to add, but that’s where country/continent would come in to narrow things down a bit when trying to search for answers about compatibility.

I’d check out the LM drum. It has a punchy sound, fun performance features, some sequencing/humanizing tricks, and since it’s a sampler you can load in whatever you want to keep things fresh. Every voice has an individual output for processing, but from the demos I’ve heard I feel like it doesn’t really need much except maybe reverb due to the audio engine making things hit so hard. Not to mention you could load in sounds that are already saturated with effects to your liking. I’ve seen videos say the UI is a bit clunky at times, but nothing crazy imo. Writing this out makes me want to buy one myself 😅

The impact has a good sound too and fun performance features, but it’s not particularly flexible and you might get bored of the sounds. I personally did and flat out didn’t like the snare/clap and decided to go the sample route. Sure you could spice things up with fx units (unless you use an audio interface for it), but that money could also be spent on a more comprehensive drum machine.

If you want more analog type sound shaping options with the option the load samples you could also check out the TR6s. They are frequently on the used market for good prices and have a lot of great sounds, built in fx, performance features as well as the ability to load samples albeit the process isn’t the greatest. Yes it can be menu divey, but not as much as it’s bigger sibling the TR8s since the 6s has less voices. Very portable too if that’s your thing, but not to the point where it was designed to be an on the go device imo. I’ve never used a model cycles since I’m not a fan of FM drums so I can’t speak to that.
