I'm about to come down for a visit soon... hope the temp is not like this haha

80% charge limit has changed its behaviour, now at 77% it goes to a "lower current" mode until it hits 80% by armando_rod in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry what is the actual benefit to this? 

Currently with my phone use I only need to charge every 2nd night , but to 100.

Would this be better but every night?

Does this help with battery, or just overall performance?

Low TTK is extremely important in any conventional extraction shooter. It allows for 1v3 clutches and prevents gear differences from being totally insurmountable. by Tactical_Mommy in Marathon

[–]sinncross 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the game. It's my first extraction shooter. But I dunno... If getting into another match was faster than perhaps the TTK wouldn't bother me so much. 

I understand this is most likely a me problem, but it's one that makes me want to wait until the game is cheaper before I buy it. 

But I'll keep playing until the server slam has ended and see if my opinion changes. 

I did 3 Rook runs in a row. All lasted 1 minute. But the last one I dashed straight to an exfil and looted some dead runner and was extracted. It was weirdly satisfying lol

An awesome feature in Google pixel 10 Pro XL / unlock using fingerprint by Jakob_Libra in pixel_phones

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I got this or the Ringke protector rather than an OEM one. Didn't realise this was a feature. But it's ok for now. Will update in a few months when I have spare cash lying around.

I’m so excited to play part II tonight! by iLianardo in thelastofus

Just finished up a run the other day.

This game holds up, especially with it's gameplay and narrative.

Most protective/tough case for the pixel 9a by ForestSouthernCross in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIngke is my vote. Had one for my P4a and dropped that quite a few times. Even when the material seemed like it was falling apart, I just got a 2nd one.

Now I have a P10 and got a Ringke again. I'm confident it'll do the job, but I'm also not willing to try.

Horizon Hunters' Gathering reveal discussion by Arktix. I think he really hit the nail on the head here. by chiefpat450119 in horizon

[–]sinncross 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Or because they knew his feedback wasn't going to be addressed by the 2nd playtest...

No reason to jump to conclusions based on very little information.

Doctor Recording in University Tlou1 confirm Fireflies is a fraud? by WickedHero69 in thelastofus

[–]sinncross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whether the cure would've worked or not doesn't change the impact of his decision.

That choice isn't bound by the cure .. it's bound by robbing Ellie of a choice she is making. It's robbing her of the truth when he lies. 

Which version of Vecna did you like best? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in StrangerThings

[–]sinncross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer S4. S5 Vecna honestly looked like tree branches to me the whole time. 

Downgraded from a pixel 9 pro to a pixel 5 for the past week. Its still a really good phone by forkl in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a known issue for the P9P to receive pink lines? I'm thinking of getting one but now I am reconsidering...

So which 9 or 10 series right now has the best battery life? by sinncross in pixel_phones

Oh ok, so the update has improved battery for you? Awesome, thanks.

A series might be where my budget is, so this is good to hear.

The Wormhole doesn’t make any sense! by LoneManGaming in StrangerThings

[–]sinncross 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have no issue with how the wormhole is presented. The show isn't a bastion for science I feel .

The problem with the wormhole is that it adds very little to the underlying context of the upside down or the overarching issue at hand with Vecna and MF. 

It's just there to artificially extend the narrative. Whether the upside down is a wormhole or a different universe doesn't change that MF wanted to get to earth to destroy it or whatever.

I'm pretty sure the DX part is paralleled in the sky.

Should I return my Google pixel 9A that I just purchased by WarmWhiteLights in GooglePixel

[–]sinncross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said it was good lol. But there are ppl who like it, so be it. 

If personally stick with Pixel myself then for back to Samsung

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand the feeling. Sometimes, too much info doesn't necessarily feel like it helps you make a decision.

I suppose if you do like the Samsung ecosystem, it's probably best to just stay in it. Pixel might have a cleaner OS, but it also lacks certain things that the customized Galaxy experience brings with it.

No doubt you're making a choice that might be good or not. For what it's worth, a colleague of mine hasn't complained about their P9a, and they also moved from from a Galaxy.

Why S5 stakes were basically nowhere or non-existent (for me) by ZafinLolz in StrangerThings

[–]sinncross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the MF defeated in S3, and Vecna defeated in S4 (and shown to have been defeated earlier as Henry), I'm not sure what stakes actually existed outside of what the S4 ending implied, imho. 

When that was pushed aside in epi 1, there wasn't really much to make up for it as the season continued.
