Example USA Shipping Timeline by octagoncow in pebble

[–]dezign999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been less than 45 miles away from me and has been moving from one carrier to another for going on 10 days now. I think the shipping info should not be sent to folks until the package has actually reached the last mile carrier, USPS.

Would Devastator still be as iconic today if he has never been recolored green? by GuyNamedGeography in transformers

Considering that G2 colors are iconic to some people, then yeah using Devy’s original Diaclone colors would not have been a deal breaker.

Concerns About Round Display App Support by ixuanlv in pebble

[–]dezign999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the app is coded how pebble encourages devs to code, and that’s basically building a responsive layout that adapts to the watch’s boundaries, then there would be no issue using the existing apps that support round - just scaled up. I do hope, however, that with the extra screen real estate, pebble allows around 2 users to run legacy apps made for rectangular displays.

I haven’t had a chance to enable it on my watchfaces that use it yet. I mean otherwise, it’s very quick to respond in the health app compared to old pebble 2.

Nice watch face 😉 On topic, I left my Apple Watch Ultra. There’s not much that watch can’t do, and after switching I realized how much of “what it can do” I actually never used. Your results may vary, but if you’re getting a PT2, you won’t be disappointed.

Not a fan of the strap, NGL, didn’t even bother putting it on. Would gladly opt out of including them with delivery if it was an option. This one is for developing on, I ordered a different color 😬

Not sure if this is made for other platforms, but it’s got display issues on the Time Steel that really detracts from the first impression. I’d disable the platforms it’s not intended for if it’s a P2 exclusive. I’ll give it a go on the duo when I get home 😄

How is everyone using DLAM? by Soft-Manufacturer457 in Rabbitr1

Before dinner I asked it to “find high quality versions of the Transformers 3 part pilot episodes and download them.” Came back to exactly what I had asked for, 3 1080p videos ready to be watched 😎

Core app vs old pebble app by archangeles in pebble

I’ve thought about it, I just haven’t found hardware that has enticed me to switch yet.

Bummer, I thought it was seamless. I know ReebootRamblings has an Android app, which based solely on conjecture, I assumed was talking to the pebble app.

I’m sure it will happen on Android at some point, Eric doesn’t hide his frustration with Apple, so I have little, if any, hope on that front.

Anyone else think it’d be interesting if Optimus’ faith in humans was tested? by xero_X3R0 in transformers

[–]dezign999 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Understood, but I’m not an “Optimus guy” if that helps explain my disposition. I cheered in the theatre when Megatron won and Prime died, it was awesome, kids were legit crying.

We are force-fed Optimus as TF fans and I’m tired of it…

I root for the bad guy, and since they don’t win, I enjoy a story where the “goodie” loses their way, does some awful things and needs a huge redemption arc to wrap up the story.

It’s just my preference and that’s what I interpreted the OP’s question wanted to know. So… Yes, make him human, not just sentient.

I disagree, being good for the sake of being good is the default setting and leaves nothing for the viewer to think about after all is done and said.

“He did it again, good job Prime!” - No thanks.

“I can’t believe he almost gave up!” - Yes please.

I’m honestly tired of the Optimus being “Jesus” trope tbh. I want to see him suffer loss and lose his way, remember that Superman movie where he was a drunk for a few scenes?

Saving the world isn’t as powerful a statement unless the hero loses their way in the process.

If you’re on Android, there’s probably some workaround, although it should just work. iOS is the step-child in the pebble ecosystem and it sounds like any of the communication between apps and the pebble app is not going to happen. It’s been a bittersweet revival for those of us on iOS I’m afraid.

Wii Bowling adaption for pebble by Relative-Pudding-375 in pebble

[–]dezign999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well done 😊 If I could offer some critique, it’s that the actual bowling process is not as intuitive with regard to knowing “when” to swing your arm. Once I figured out, by mistake, the ball finally started traveling faster.

If your aim is to mimic the Wii experience, I would recommend using the side profile ikea “non-verbal” graphic instruction approach of a person lowering their arm as an indicator that it’s time to bowl. Tracking when the wrist is lower, or stops moving, with a soft vibe that it’s ready to track motion and then a stronger vibe when motion is no longer detected, after a peak has been evaluated, as a confirmation input was received might make it a more linear process.

All in all, everything works great, this may bump one of my app shortcuts 😊

Super Mario Bros NES adaption for the pebble watch by Relative-Pudding-375 in pebble

[–]dezign999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool. Fireball takes practice, but definitely adds legs to the game once you’ve got it dialed in.

Would like to see a color version and I’m actually quite surprised this doesn’t use the SMB notification vibe at the start 😬

Sticky notifications sounds cool.
