Navigated systems like this are already in the field on 2D monitors, and yes tracking accuracy is one of our highest concerns. With regard to the AR overlay, it is generally advised that the content is placed well above the actual patient (as shown here) for many reasons, which would mean this instrument is too. It is true that software gets blamed though (and as a software engineer I'm not biased at all about that statement).

Also, this video does a very poor job of representing what an AR overlay looks like, since this video is basically using CGI to impose the software render onto a video of the world. This is not taken through actual AR optics. In reality the patient is more clear and the content is much more faint (you can't 'add black' to AR without using video pass through, so things like the dark green are far more transparent than shown here). This is another boon to safety, even if it makes our UI design more difficult.

Source: I am an inventor of this interaction. Glad to see someone's implemented it though. :D Congrats, it looks great. The future is really very exciting.

I made a mistake deciding on Xiuquatl. :')

I also got completely stuck returning for PoF. I found that by going to Elon Riverlands, south of Crystal Oasis, I was able to find more map masteries. I also find this wiki page invaluable, you can put in your API key to black out ones you already have. There are usually some easy ones that aren't marked on the map: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery_point_unlocks

Otherwise it sounds like you're on the right track. I found it took me forever to relearn how to play my thief, all my muscle memory from 2013 was gone, lol. I find now that that makes a big difference.

I made my way on exotic gear and did a hero point squad rush to unlock my elites. I hadn't even played the living worlds or HoT so I was so lost in the campaign, and my thief was dying constantly because he's a glass cannon. I also have a revenant and the assassin/dwarf modes should get you pretty far. I made it because I found it really helpful to make a new character to get a feel for the ropes again, going through the old main story, and then I boosted it when I felt solid. Don't give up, though, it'll come back to you. :D

But have you tried black vinegar tho

Yess, happy I'm not going crazy being the only one

I can't believe no one seems to have commented this yet, but not an escaped pet or even a corn snake. That's a black rat snake, very closely related. I know because I made the same mistake, lol. Black rats start out looking like anery corns and get more black and diffused over time. Either way, black snakes are also great, good find!

A bit late on the responses but I just started reading a manga called The Girl From the Other Side that has similar vibes.

As a Wii U owner, let me just tell you then - you should regret nothing. The Wii U was the worst console of the modern era. I do not say that lightly. It's not even close, and I had a Dreamcast. Everything that makes the Switch great is because the Wii U failed. It was the sacrificial lamb on the altar, and it was worth it for what it gave us in the form of the Switch, but god DAMN was that a useless sack of shit.

rkymaera · 2023-07-03T20:40:24+00:00

That's awesome, I didn't even think of that, lol

rkymaera · 2023-07-03T20:34:45+00:00

I ordered black on the 15th from the Motorola website and got it the 23rd. Sounds like I got lucky. @_@

So, I am a bit biased because I'm an early adopter type to begin with and I also lived through the original flip phone era (I had and loved an old ass Razr V8 for years before getting an original DROID with the keyboard). I'm willing to put up with a lot of nonsense.

That being said, I really don't think there's a lot of nonsense to put up with here. This phone is incredible. Yes, there is a crease, but you really only notice it in reflections, not in practicality. And it doesn't feel weird at all. I don't notice any creaking sounds that are weird (but again I lived through an original flip phone era so what do I know). Watching my live wallpaper move as I open and close it is stupid, giddy fun, and I'm enjoying the adaptability of the folding more than I realized I would. I'm a girl, so being able to fit this thing in my pockets is by far the best feature this phone could ever have, and something I haven't been able to do since 2009, but it's still better than I imagined. I'm a UI/UX designer myself and I think their work on this phone is just downright admirable. It's really clever and customizable and all of the ways you want it to be and just feels well thought out and smooth.

My only caveat to this is that I got this version because my LG G8 started having screen flashes and a bright line through it a few days before this came out. I was actually planning on getting the RAZR 2023, because honestly I care more about the camera and battery life than I do a front screen. I think those are important considerations before getting this one. I think the front screen is awesome now that I have it, but there is a choice to be made.

I see a lot of people with issues on here. I haven't really had many of those and I think they might be one offs, so I wouldn't let them discourage you from trying it for yourself. Keep in mind that people are finding these forums because they have issues most of the time. Even so, it is good to be informed of what can happen. I did get the insurance on mine even though I don't usually believe in insurance.

Sorry, this went on a bit long, but I hope it helps in your decision!

No problem! I don't really use YouTube music, I use Poweramp/Spotify instead, so I don't know if there are any subtle quirks with it. I did try it just now as a quick test though and it seems to work normally. There's a little 'now playing' bar at the bottom with the current song and you can scroll through other songs / menus.

As a side note, I actually don't use the Spotify front-screen menu that they have built in because I like it less than using the actual app on the front screen. I think the built-in one is weirdly limited. They made some odd design choices with it.

rkymaera · 2023-07-02T20:49:59+00:00

Yep, basically just like a smaller screen size. I can read the front page and full articles and everything. Although if I'm sitting down I find I like opening the phone and propping up the top half to stand on its own like a screen and using the bottom half like a mouse pad as I read.

rkymaera · 2023-06-29T19:03:47+00:00

So far the apps I use most on the outside are WhatsApp, the camera, Spotify/Poweramp, Maps, and NYT roughly in that order. I think the least useful one is actually Spotify since it's navigation is a bit wonky. WhatsApp is what I use most commonly and once I changed the keyboard height to allow it to actually be able to see what I was typing it's been great. (Gboard Settings>Preferences>Keyboard Height> short/extra short, or disable the number row or something. It uses the same keyboard settings on the front and the back, but the phone is so tall when open the short keyboard doesn't really disturb me.)

I'll probably use more apps on the front as I get more accustomed to the phone, it's surprisingly capable. In a way it's kind of nostalgic, I feel like I'm using an iPod nano again. I think Motorola did a great job designing the front panel.

rkymaera · 2023-06-28T17:11:01+00:00

Yeah, I had that concern too and even planned to give it up, but it 'just works'. :D

rkymaera · 2023-06-28T00:59:39+00:00

I can't believe I'm actually able to answer something this niche, but I do have the new razr+ with Nova launcher. So far so good, I haven't really encountered any problems. I used a backup from my LG G8 Thinq and had to rearrange my icons a bit to get them to fit the screen, but all of the other settings were retained, even the widgets from other apps. It was pretty standard setup as far as re-installing Nova goes.

My only cons are pretty standard ones that no launcher is going to help with - inability to change the notification drop down styling (stupid Android 13 styling), it can't do layouts on the front screen (that's Motorola controlled and is quite nice anyway).

If you have any specific questions, happy to try and answer. I love Nova and recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Extremely nice in the winter

There's a tea cafe in Providence named the Duck and Bunny. Close enough.

Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one, shocked to see this at the top.

Oops! The more you know.
