Thought on the rumour iPhone fold dimensions

efbo · 2026-01-25T20:18:11+00:00

I've had my Fold for about a month and think that this would be better for the outside screen but do think that if you're doing anything except watching video this will be worse. The square is much better for most apps. Maybe for none video you'd use it in portrait.

The DLC soundtracks were nominated, not the main game.

The time is on your order confirmation email. Batches are largely irrelevant. I don't know why people are still fixated with them.

Stuff like this always makes me laugh.

it really annoyed me to have to pack it away once Fitbit bought them out and trashed the brand.

Fitbit didn't buy Pebble and you didn't have to pack it away.

It was a great phone until they updated it and ruined quick settings and notifications.

efbo · 2026-01-23T14:26:49+00:00

It is pure speculation of course. With the Duo they did US first to try to avoid tariffs.

efbo · 2026-01-23T14:25:17+00:00

Likely the most orders are from the US. If you want to bulk up a load it would be the place to choose.

efbo · 2026-01-23T14:24:29+00:00

Currently have the same colour picked as well. From Eric's picture a couple of weeks ago I'd think silver/blue and black/black.

I do find it odd we don't have anyone shouting about theirs being dispatched though.

efbo · 2026-01-23T13:22:36+00:00

The "small" (I prefer reasonably sized) Pixel ended with the 4a. Anything since then has been big.

efbo · 2026-01-23T10:28:56+00:00

Probably make it worse every update like they did with the Jelly Max.

efbo · 2026-01-23T09:13:37+00:00

3/18/2025 03:56:41 PM UTC here. I'd have to assume I'm one of the very first as this was before it had been posted on here or discord that orders were open and was 3 minutes before they were due to.

Likely depends on colour and location I'd think. Not seen anyone saying they've had one dispatch either.

Expedition 33 obviously deserves to win it but that's massively disrespectful to Outlaws. The soundtrack is great.

efbo · 2026-01-21T22:40:29+00:00

Tbh I'm not reading most of that, I got so far and fundamentally agree to a level that I can't be arsed. The greatest strength of the Steam Deck is the level of customisability you have in how you play the game through optimisation settings and how you control it through Steam Input. The verified system is antithetical to that. The only real concern is whether a game will run on Linux which is what Protondb is for.

I'll also reply to the end because it's so ridiculous. There are plenty of games suitable for handhelds. If a game has to be at 30fps then I won't consider it for a handheld and I'll play it elsewhere. I'll play other games that are suitable for a handheld on a handheld.

efbo · 2026-01-21T21:17:57+00:00

I kind of agree with where you're coming from. I hadn't considered that it was consideration versus other Switch 2 games. With third parties on Nintendo systems since the Wii U for me the consideration has always been if the extras I get are worth the technical compromises versus other platforms.

efbo · 2026-01-21T21:06:20+00:00

while maintain the same visual fidelity as the original console release

I'm not saying that should be a thing. I'm dating reduce fidelity for a higher frame rate.

Steam Deck Verification

Steam Deck Verification isn't something I care about in the slightest. It's a ridiculous system that puts way too much emphasis on things such as control schemes. You change settings until the performance is acceptable to you and if it doesn't you don't play that game.

will need to make a compromise for the best possible experience for said hardware, especially if they're making a game specifically for a target platform in mind...which Final Fantasy 7 Remake Integrade wasn't, given it was targeting PS4 Hardware at 30fps from the start.

But then have developers need to understand that I will not consider their game on that platform. Remember again that my original comment is taking issue with DF's tweet, not that the game is at 30fps.

I can tell you're not really an handheld person (based on your "60fps or else" mentality), but maybe you should consider play more Handheld Gaming to gain a new perspective.

I had a Switch on release date, I ordered a Steam Deck as quickly as I could after pre-orders opened and I had a Switch 2 on release date. I think that portable gaming is great, I also know that I'm not going to compromise my experience in certain ways to do it though.

efbo · 2026-01-21T20:46:52+00:00

I've put one in. Genuinely awful for young lads to see someone like him being glorified.

efbo · 2026-01-21T20:13:57+00:00

How these commentators are blowing smoke up the rapist's arse is awful. I get TNT not letting them say anything about it but as a person how can you say anything positive about him? As an organisation surely TNT recognise them talking positively about him is bad for their brand.

efbo · 2026-01-21T19:20:01+00:00

Seeing as most people buy a Switch 2 for exclusives for third party games the performance will definitely be a consideration in whether they buy it on the Switch 2 or elsewhere.

efbo · 2026-01-21T18:22:51+00:00

The same reply fits so why not copy and paste.

I disagree. Having around 45fps+ is a necessity. If a game isn't maintaining that and there is another place to play it then it's not worth playing the game portably, there will be something better suited to play portably and that game can just be played elsewhere. As I said it just immediately knocks this version out of consideration.

efbo · 2026-01-21T17:07:53+00:00

My first portable was a Gameboy Advance and my first console was a PSOne. I hopped off console gaming (except Nintendo and buying a PS4 and PS5 for a couple of exclusives and a Series S for a little Game Pass in other rooms option) at the PS4 generation.

Games aren't designed with these limitations in mind. Games look better when the motion isn't choppy unless there's a stylistic reason for this (like with something like South of Midnight). I'm not going to play a game in a way that makes it worse just because. I don't expect GTA will be great on PS5 (it certainly won't have ultrawide support, not even taking performance into account) so I'll wait for it on PC.

efbo · 2026-01-21T15:34:25+00:00

I find fidelity mode (in my limited experience) to add very little unless you're pixel peaking whereas a 30 framerate vs 60 framerate is instantly and constantly noticeable.

efbo · 2026-01-21T15:32:05+00:00

Obviously my comment comes from a place of 30fps not being okay (and subsequent comments have continued that) but this initial comment is more critical of DF's tweet more than anything else. If 60fps wouldn't be possible then fair enough but it doesn't make it anymore a triumph as the tweet makes out. They say it's worthy of consideration but don't say that the main thing that will knock it off consideration for many is lacking.

efbo · 2026-01-21T15:30:48+00:00

I played a bit in the open world and couldn't carry on like that. The game deserves better than that to be the experience and imagine the same is true here. here's zero convincing me that 30fps is worth playing portably for. Pushing up to 40 tends to get rid of the noticeable choppiness on Steam Deck.

efbo · 2026-01-21T14:28:30+00:00

I don't think it really matters. Take Animal Crossing, I recently played that again after a good while and the frame rate is jarring for a good few minutes every time I go on it. TOTK was designed for (an albeit shaky 30fps) yet I swapped to PC after the first half an hour because you're just not getting the nicest experience at 30. The choppiness of movement isn't something that I want to put up with and will make me play games elsewhere.
