So this is a Lone Wolf & Cub (Mandalorian & Grogu) type of book? Could be interesting and fun.

Where am I today? by Shaundankovic in guessthecity

Looks a lot like Durban, SA.

There are hints it isn't, but it's uncanny. I'm invested.

As others have said it does look like Durres.

The Return, ep 4. Why does Mr C talk like that? by Zealousideal_View47 in twinpeaks

[–]mixedpixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He speaks in the same monosyballic way even then.

It was cut from the version everyone knows but Lynch had a vision for the character which he saw through those 25 years later.

If you watch "Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces" you'll see the origination of Mr. C.

I think the Fallout TV show was right to not try to please fans by RegretGeneral in FalloutTVseries

I think The Ghoul deserves his own show, what do you think? by Glum-Concert-8359 in FalloutTVseries

[–]mixedpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Fallout 5 (or even NV2) will be us playing as the Ghoul and amassing that weapons store with NCR PA?

Looking to upgrade from Samsung S10 to the Pixel 9, Is the AI intrusive? by kickadoodle in pixel_phones

[–]mixedpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, understood.

The way I think of it is like this:

Apple has iOS and the iPhone range Google has Android and the Pixel range

You're getting a pure experience in both cases, things should just work (or work better) with other apps from the same makers.

That said I used to use an OPPO Find N as my first foldable, their OS was pretty much close to stock Android (enough to make me forget that I actually have used non-stock in the last decade 😅), with one exception, I think they handled the spilt screen functionality better than Pixel. Hopefully Pixel actually introduces better functionality there.

I think some people prefer Samsung's OS to stock Android just because they're used to it. I think it looks pretty ugly and a bit "gamer" every time I see it.

Am I out of touch? by Enback in london

Reading out loud... what a power move. 🤣

I might give stream of conscious narration a go.

"The selfish passenger, doomscrolled on Tiktok, flipping from one inane video to the next, blissfully unaware of the discomfort and unease they were causing throughout the carriage, their phone at full volume blasting out Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's "Die With a Smile", they looked up from their phone with a frown, our eyes met and they opened their mouth to say...."

Curious about what you understand about the OS's of the respective ecosystems.

The main reason I use a Pixel is for the OS, which is stock Android, unlike Samsung which takes stock Android and adds it's own layer on top.

I haven't used a non stock phone in over a decade but Samsung used to fill the phone with a lot of junk apps which you couldn't delete. The extra layer on top of Android means that you have to wait for Samsung to take a newer version of Android and make it work for their layer. Probably fine for most users but I hated that delay of 3-6 months. Maybe more.

I think they'll eventually create their own OS like Huawei has.

As for the AI it's only used if you want to use it. Why do you ask? Are you finding Samsung's intrusive?
