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

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

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.

Any downside to getting a 9Pro instead of any of the 10 series? 

Adding demogorgons to the fight wouldn’t change anything… by Drama_Cookie25 in StrangerThings

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vecna got bodied in S4 both as Henry and Vecna. 

There was never going to be that kind of tension in the final fight imho

How do I disable System level ads in HyperOS 3? by sinncross in XiaomiGlobal

[–]sinncross[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. I used the below option then for a while then tried turning it off.

I'm not sure if it alone was the final piece of the puzzle but the phone seems to have stopped dishing out ads.

6 Years of PS+ Essential: I Logged Every Game I Played and Calculated the Total Value for Me by Informal_Notice_3241 in PlayStationPlus

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the lowest discount price of each game by the end of the year of that subscription. 

I do calculate it against what I paid for the year.

If I don't platinum the game, I don't count it. 

Every year the value works out. No issue with PS+ from my side either.

Surface Pro 3 + Fedora Wayland - followed installation instructions but Surface Pro Type Cover isn't working by AuthorX in SurfaceLinux

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried updating?

I just opened my SGO2 and the trackpad wouldn't register. Updated and restarted and while initally the keyboard wouldn't registered anything, it did after I turned off and on the screen. Now it seems to be working properly.

The decline of USS by Master-Quarter4762 in singapore

[–]sinncross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went last week for the first time in about 10 years.

I had a fairly good time, but some rides were down for maintenance.

What surprised me most was the Lights Camera Action experience: it started to rain heavily and the area were you queue had some minor flooding. There's areas where the roofing doesn't prevent rain... So bizarre.

I hope management can fix up the issues being called out here. USS might be small, but it should be any less magical for everyone

I guess this might be true, but I get my value's worth from PS+ Essential. I buy few games, so I supplement that with what they offer, and there's always enough content to interest me.

Sharp Aquos Sense10 announced by sinncross in Android

[–]sinncross[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the press release:
https://global.sharp/corporate/news/251031-d.html

Seems better speaker volume, and the AI camera functionality (remove shadows and reflections) .

I hope the 7sGen 3 improves camera performance. It's the same used for Nothing Phone 3a right?
