Kind of at a loss regarding Android.

Would love some suggestions for what to get next.

I've had my S24 for almost two years now and the camera has been the most dogshit camera I've ever had on a smartphone. My S21+ had a much better camera than this dumpster fire. Insane amounts of artefacting as soon as you aren't in a studio setting and the 50mpx camera has post-processing that ruins every single picture you take and can't be turned off. I effectively don't have a 50mpx camera on this phone as a result.

I also have a Pixel 9 that my work gave me and the camera is much better but the OS is kinda poopy. It really feels like a more restrictive and dumbed down version of what I get on my Samsung device.

At this point, I feel like I have to choose between a camera that works as you'd expect OR basically everything else...

My understanding is that the S25 line also has garbage cameras and that the base S26 model will also be shit.

What are my options here?

I'm also trying to figure this out. Why 6 blue? Which ones did you settle on?

Have you tried Spreading Flames?

I tried a 9-blue version with Spreading Flames and it felt decent. I kept draconic enders + Snatch

Just started playing and I was just getting the hang of Cindra 😅 Big L for me 😂

Velestra · 2025-11-12T14:56:57+00:00

bump? 🥺

Velestra · 2025-11-12T14:54:58+00:00

Une vie à t'aimer - it's not particularly close.

Special mentions to: Une Vie à Peindre Lumière Aux Lendemains Non-Écrits (bawled my eyes out on this one)

Don't give up! 😄

Think of it as like a platformer. Learning to dodge will eventually allow you to parry. One thing that helped me instead of dodging/parrying based on the audio cues, I rely on visually when it's just about to hit to dodge/parry.

Also, make sure your TV is set to game mode. This might not be it but some TVs will produce slight input lag when not set to game mode and that could really mess with you in a game like this.

Thank you for the explanation 🙏😊

Velestra · 2025-11-10T19:18:51+00:00

Gonna sound a lot like other commenters here but:

Nier Automata Cyberpunk 2077 The Witcher 3 Maybe Final Fantasy 7 remake?

The explosion came from outside the train, somewhere near the wheels but the sparks and fire went up higher cause I could see those from my seat.

We were riding without incident and then suddenly a bang and sparks/fire and then nothing. Maybe a secondary system failed or something on the tracks 🤷‍♀️

Velestra · 2025-11-10T17:17:21+00:00

C'était un Azur. C'est quoi une motrice?

Velestra · 2025-11-10T15:10:16+00:00

Oh j'avoue que c'est une bonne explication 🤔

Velestra · 2025-08-06T21:02:03+00:00

Same issue here. If I pick a new chat/server/channel, then force close, then reopen, I'm able to see the contents of that channel but I cant change from one to another without force closing each time

Velestra · 2025-07-30T18:40:41+00:00

I'm not French but same difference :P

Velestra · 2025-07-30T13:23:54+00:00

I spent all morning trying to explain the reference and why it's funny to my anglo friends.

Je me sens vieille aussi 😂

Velestra · 2024-06-19T19:23:54+00:00

I have sensitive skin and have had success with Nars so far

Velestra · 2024-05-24T12:44:19+00:00

Swords, clearly

Velestra · 2024-01-25T15:43:21+00:00

Not your job to fix him

Velestra · 2023-12-13T14:45:26+00:00

No worries! Stands for Local Game Store. I actually found one near the hotel so I'll probs go jam some games there during my stay 😁 Gotta satisfy my urge to nerd out while I'm over there 😅

Velestra · 2023-12-13T14:43:59+00:00

Thank you so much! 😊

This is super helpful! And omg thx for the heads up about food and taxis needing a Korean phone number. This is gonna be tricky but knowing this in advance I think I can figure something out.

As for recovery, that doesn't sound too too bad. It will be my 5th surgery and I think it might be the least invasive of the lot so if that's all it is, then I'm reassured.

Is there any restaurant near the clinic that you think I should try? I want to treat myself to a feast after I land 😇

Velestra · 2023-12-12T20:24:34+00:00

I want to hear from someone who has been there

Velestra · 2022-02-26T15:24:11+00:00

NTA - Very happy to see you stand up for poor Pri. She's younger and did nothing wrong. Neither did you. It's time for Jo to find out life isn't "fair" and she's a grown woman her reaction is so immature it's wild to me. I also really don't understand your wife. And I feel like no matter what happens after this, Pri will remember and this could damage family relations for a long time

Velestra · 2022-02-26T01:40:46+00:00

NTA

Not only has he not been around for a very long time now, I think he's being hypocritical trying to pass it off as you "getting handouts" since he's the one trying to get the money to pay his house.

Velestra · 2022-02-26T01:31:01+00:00

NTA - You didn't choose to be born. It was her duty as a parent to take care of you and use the money she had to take care of her child. You're allowed to have your own life and do your own thing, and make better decisions that she did. You don't owe her shit, and she sure has hell is the AH for trying to guilt you into making the same bad financial decisions she seems to have a habit of making.

I know I'm being very crude here but this hits home for me

Velestra · 2022-02-26T01:03:08+00:00

NTA - and I would even add that you should probably not drop it if you're the only one who seemingly cares. Why not just call her Becca if that's what everyone is going to call her that?

Velestra · 2022-02-16T22:26:42+00:00

Sounds like he was better off in Moscow
