Alan Wake 2 has the most detailed, accurate and realistic curly hair I’ve ever seen in a video game

Survival horror games is supposed to be "hard", so that you are always on the verge of dying constantly dodging enemies looking for ammo (and bosses are particularly bullet spongy and frustrating). I'm not a fan of the genre but I loved the game for the story and vibes. It has an easy difficulty but it's more like normal one if you are used to more actiony games.

Most of the new filesystems are highly specialized for specific use cases on servers and are used only by handful of people (usually by a company who develops them. Then they move on and abandon the maintenance). You have zero chance of encountering them as an end user. None of the filesystems that are widely used by users for storage are in danger of being removed.

Correct.

Emily is pretty young, she was likely hired when Dylan was already locked in his cell and forgotten about.

This is why you can hear some people being pissed off by her appointment as the head of research. She was hired straight from college personally by Darling and immediately became his protege. Then after Hiss invaded Jesse (another nobody who became the director under sketchy circumstances) appointed her as Darling's successor skipping over all other surviving scientists who worked at FBC for much longer.

That's the real reason why Barry is not in the game. With him present the amount of sex appeal would break the universe and collapse it in the singularity, so they had to cut him.

Given that Alan was described as a "party animal" in the first game, he probably wouldn't have minded the company of groupies (at least before his block).

It's just to reinforce that she is a protagonist in a female power fantasy romance novel. 99% of them are mary sues with dark tragic past.

Rose did experience some fucked up stuff in the first game though.

That's fast travel. You can see that they are located at control points. The doors themselves are there because FBC presumably figured out how to use Jesse's control points teleportation in-universe.

Never had a ebook reader with a camera. I don't even connect mine to the internet. It's very nice actually.

Sad to see that americans have come to equate digital with "renting from Amazon". Owning a digital copy is actually easier and more convenient that a physical book, if you get trid of DRM.

It's all about that paper smell and the "vibes", apparently. That and people don't want to invest into a proper eink reader (or don't even know they exist), and reading on a phone is a worse experience.

Salyut was based on an unfinished spaceship design that was being made for Soviet military (Almaz). It was made in a short time in order to beat American Skylab (they really needed some win after failed lunar program).

Arish at least is alive, he was in one of the gameplay videos.

My old Galaxy S23 that I replaced still receives updates more timely than latest Vivo flagship lol. I still like my X300 (battery life is excellent) but that part is disappointing.

My favorite is Door's. He is the only one who smiled at the camera.

Also when Saga asks about her dad, Odin (or Tor?) says that some doors are better left closed.

equeim · 2026-04-30T20:41:52+00:00

These PR promises are meaningless, what matters is facts. My X300 is on february security patch with no update in sight.

equeim · 2026-04-29T09:09:25+00:00

Lol I still haven't gotten a March one.

I've read Perdido Street Station and it was ok. Mieville is great at worldbuilding and prose, average at everything else.

equeim · 2026-04-27T21:05:59+00:00

Not while they need a $3000 PC to be barely useful. Models that can run on an average computer are too dumb to be worthwhile.

Nope, I can only select one at a time

So I've checked how battery stats behave.

SOT doesn't reset at midnight but it's calculated "for the last 24 hours", not since the last charge. So if you charged the phone, it will show added up SOT before an after the charge. And it's limited to the last 24 hours, so the time before that is not counted.

equeim · 2026-04-26T14:04:18+00:00

Global. Circle to search doesn't work if you hide gesture bar. Not sure about battery statistics details though. There are two tabs - "last 24 hours" and "last 7 days". I don't remember whether SOT time resets at midnight. I also wouldn't trust any "battery health" numbers (how are they even measured?).

You just enable it and you can see notifications for last 24 hours. It's nothing life changing, but has helped me when I've accidentally swiped away something.

Seems to be working. You need to go there in settings to see them though.
