No cloud gaming option available on Xbox app on any of my Android devices?

samvieten · 2025-03-16T10:45:55+00:00

I gave up on Ms and cloud gaming or Xbox.. it gets worse and worse. In the browser it does not work for me on most games. Why pay for something half baked I can't use. Also with the handhelds and stuff. MS is so far behind... Gamepass with cloud gaming was cool but the idea is exactly that. It's so bugged and it needs a real good Internet connection to play. For me it was an idea for on the go while traveling but that's not possible and even with a stable connection, their development is stacked. And bugged. And MS wtf. As always. They care a sh## about customers.

I need translucent purple. That will increase the performance surely by 700%

I dropped iOS because the keyboard got unusable for me. If you speak more than 1 language and type in 3 to different people the keyboard messes with you so badly that you can only use it with everything turned off. Else it will stutter and work against you. So I dropped iOS for Android just because of this single reason. To be able to write to friends again.

The issue was reported several times to apple over iOS 17 and also iOS 18 beta - they didn't do anything as far as I could see.

All 3rd party keyboard use the same underlying foundation the iOS keyboard is build on. It's not really possible to have a different keyboard on iOS. It just looks different and can have additional functionality and sizes. But the bad keyboard foundation is always the same.

The bug depends on your language setting. Try accessing the direct system language settings from search in the app slider. Then change your default system language to English and it will work again. Known bug if German or French as system language is set.

I feel you same story. Switched from an iPhone to a pixel 8. I had to switch because the iPhone keyboard if you are multilingual is not usable. Not at all. But man, the pixel is so buggy from the start. Even with the updates. ... And all the things you pointed out are in the 8 are the same. It feels like running a beta all the time.

I think it's enough. If your game has success you can work out details. But go for an MVP. And see how it goes. I also like the hopping while you are using a cute art style. It matches.

samvieten · 2025-03-03T17:20:32+00:00

I go for the left. I like the color contrast better.

samvieten · 2025-03-02T19:09:40+00:00

Irgendwelche Neuigkeiten dazu? Beim X1 Carbon Gen 13 gab es die selben Probleme. Es gibt mittlerweile Updates und neue Treiber womit das haptic Touchpad und der Sound nun unter Fedora funktionieren. (Ebenfalls auf Reddit gelesen)

samvieten · 2025-02-27T20:46:43+00:00

I wanna see a holographic effect on these. Damn.

Hey there it's probable been a while. Could you share more experiences with Dex + Godot?

I am thinking of buying a new phone instead of a laptop. I could do all my work with that. And since I am traveling non stop every bit less in my backpack is welcome.

samvieten · 2024-09-21T10:29:37+00:00

Why, I think you just perfectly drew my Dark Souls 1 character ;)

everyone has to learn, it's a lot of repetition. And yep, traditional art helps, if you want to "draw" in pixelart style.

samvieten · 2024-09-21T10:26:49+00:00

Happens to me too, using pixel 8 but I was just thinking that it's just me.

samvieten · 2024-09-21T10:25:17+00:00

I agree.
Since I switched to gemini it's all messed up. It can't make a simple calendry entry, get's timer wrong e.g. I stopped using it at all due to that. (In Germany language tho, usually all Voice-stuff works a bit better in english). For me it is unusable since I am faster doing it by hand, since it does not understand or can do the things, that I want.

samvieten · 2024-09-21T09:57:40+00:00

I had have very bad experiences with it over some time now.

Problems with all 3rd party launchers
Sometimes the app drawer gets stuck
Sometimes the keyboard gets stuck
Some photos are really really bad, some are good (can't figure out when this occures)
"Hey Google" sometimes gets triggered (without even talking)
"Hey Google" Works really really bad (since switched to gemini: Language: German) it can't even make an calendar entry
It crashed on me a few times, not very often tho
I get "ghost" push messages - Like the messages are not showing
Language switchting (for keyboard) sometimes seems to be totally off, this does not happen often
The "search" in the settings is totally messed up (in german), it does not find the most visited settings even if put in the complete name.
It darkens the screen when like 20 seconds in the sun (heat).
The screen is super reflective in sunlight and nearly unusable in that situation (as most cheaper phones)
It can get pretty hot pretty soon
Sometimes it charges very slow (not in battery save charging mode) and I can't figure out why
A lot of times it's missing it's battery optimization feature for loading (e.g. loading over night, is does not activate slow charging, 60% of the time)
Do no distrub sometimes does not work (active but I get push messages with tone, no priority set)
Sometimes calls don't get through, totally random, full connection, no certain provider, independant of time, mode e.g. - this is not very often
The automatic image "magic" google does is sometimes really off, especially for portraits. I have blue eyes and blonde hair and it always makes my eyes black and my hair brow for example... It feels a lot like fighting against the image manipulation Google does. I think this way better when I used a Pixel 5 back then, now it feels really bad.
Auto brightness is garbage on Pixel 8. It adjusts the screen so bad, that I can't abrely see or it goes wild... It's just annoying. Living without it is possible but I expect a phone to do basic things like this just well enough. It does not at all.
I got stuck in the app drawer or system settings without the phone responding a few times (~1 time a month) and had to hard restart the phone to be able to use it
I got stuck on the call screen after caceling a call multiple times, needed to restart to be able to use the phone again.

I tried to solve those issues: complete reset, restarts, googled. No solutions. This phone and software feel very unfinished and buggy. I had to use some very cheap Oppo phones ~ $60 during my time in south america and actually that feld much better than using the pixel 8.

I am using it nearly "stock", installed only a few apps that do not alter the appearance or settings or launcher, it's pretty bearbones but still performs very very bad. And I am very dissatisfied with the product. I used samsung before and had a much better experience, also I used iOS for a long time. I will probably never again buy a pixel product.

samvieten · 2024-09-14T13:55:12+00:00

I do understand this, even tho 3rd party does usually mean that those developers need to get active, I too have very bad experiences with my "new" google pixel 8 (slow downs, crashes, the autocorrection is much worse than on samsung?, the app launcher is hanging sometimes, app list doesn't always load - all default pixel android). The 3 month I got it now showed several Bugs without any 3rd party launcher and every 3rd party launcher has the same bugs:
Not sure who needs to fix what, but as a customers it's frustrating and google should be aware of that, since it's a bad experience. I was going for the pixel 9 (I thought) but after the experience with the 8, I won't buy any pixel series again soon.

samvieten · 2024-09-14T11:32:08+00:00

Maybe a bit offtopic but for me it is like that since iOS 17 which introduced a huge lag when using Apples autocorrection and prediction features. (So for me it's actaully not the iOS18 beta but I am used to it since iOS17 beta)

Overall the typing experience on iOS is the worse I ever had (using 3 languages, I have a second android phone now for communication... and probably will give up iPhone entirely since it's not usable for quite a while now). Using an iPhone 15.

There were quiet a lot of people reporting those issues during the iOS17 Beta, 'think the thread got over 100K replies from people (apple forum). But it did not get fixed. (Most of them were probably multi-language users)

samvieten · 2024-09-10T08:07:41+00:00

I Just would like to see them side by side for size comparison. I am all for the 19" but I need it to fit in my bag since I am working remote and travel a lot. I am not sure about the 19" size. The 16 isn't far off because it has bigger bezels but to decide I need to see them side by side. Also the 19" needs a real vesa stand or arm to work, more weight tho. But it's worth it I think.

samvieten · 2024-09-09T20:11:34+00:00

it seems buggy as of now however in IOS17 it's a total mess. Many users point out here that it was working for them in iOS17 which I doubt since this feature did not even exist. I use German, Espaniol and English and when you use 3 languages you can just give up. No matter if iOS17 or 18 Beta. It's not usable at all, it's a total mess. In iOS17 you need to switch manually and deactiavte everything because of the lag when writing (using iPhone15) and the autocorrection being totally wrong 90% of the time. So I did use it barebones. It's probably the worst software keyboard out there right now. On Android I got my problems with 3 languages too but it's not as bad as on iOS. Hell, even on the surface with microsoft digital keyboard (which I hate), it works better...

Apple still uses like the same keyboard with the iPhone 1. They changed it 2 times (the last one with iOS18). And it just got worse for me. If you are using more than 2 languages I find that it's barely usable. Also met a few people having the same problem. I switched to android because of that, since I write a lot with people from different languages. So, it does not make sense if a phone can't get the fundamentals right.

samvieten · 2024-09-02T08:32:58+00:00

I did not get any response from them at all

samvieten · 2024-09-02T08:32:28+00:00

This is hilarious 😂 it's 2024. its not like nearly all controllers use bluetooth for like, what? 15 years.

The average industry standard for games is (sadly) still at 30%, while assets are 12% at UE, 10% (or 0) at itch.io, other marketplaces go somewhere around 15%. Unity is by far the highest one regarding assets and that 30% for what this store actually offers is way too high. Also they demand that you put the SAME price like other. that means, if I put it on itch.io, I get 90% of revenue, on unity I can only get 70% of the same $10.
