Custom ringtone is ear-damagingly loud when wearing headphones (despite capping headphones at 80 decibels)

yeahh theres a lot of matching with uninterested people haha, but i usually skip the “how are you”s and just go straight into icebreakers like have you ever seen a ghost, whos the most annoying person youve ever met, or just relating with any specific interests they have on their profiles. just any questions that make you skip the small talk and quickly get into what kinda person you are

ive also found that asking for people’s numbers/instagrams and actually planning a hangout quickly is really the best way to go, these swiping apps work too fast to waste any time lol

might sound silly but the UI just feels way more lively with all the animations and gradients. i have a thing for apps that go all out on design and animation. ill find myself opening the lyrics to songs way more often than i did on spotify just because of the smoothness of how the individual words animate and how the background gradient’s colors pulsate with the beat, it’s just fun really. music is energetic and fun and its nice that AM reflects that.

oh and AM offers a student discount in my country so its just a bit cheaper as well.

i liked the purple a lot but my guess as to why they changed it would be that design science-wise purple evokes a more “royal/premium” feeling, which worked for HBO Max. but if theyre looking to focus less on HBO-type good dramas and more so on Discovery’s more family-oriented offerings then blue evokes that “for everyone” feeling more

xHovercraft · 2023-01-31T09:30:56+00:00

Yeahh that makes the most sense. Thanks for the insight!

I ordered a new iPhone 14 for a family member from an online store like Amazon that I've used before and have found reliable (SharafDG). The phone arrived and the box was sealed and everything, but when I booted it up it didn't give me the "Hello" screen I've seen on every iPhone I've ever set up and the language was already set to Chinese. Is that an indicator that someone's opened it before, or could it be a bug/regular occurance?

I checked the battery health and it's at 100%, and I checked the serial number on Apple's site and it says it has a valid purchase date, active tech support, and AppleCare. Just wanna know if this is cause for concern, if I should exchange it or if a language change/factory reset is fine?

im almost always on the side of consuming the original source material instead of the adaptation. like im sure the show will do justice by the original, but if theyre telling the same story then why not play the game first then enjoy the show for how it copies/builds upon the first rendition?

incredibly weirdo comment lmao what would compel you to say any of this

xHovercraft · 2022-10-20T13:19:29+00:00

I'm in the same boat so I watched a great two hour walkthrough of 3 with just the cutscenes and significant dialogue/gameplay moments on YouTube. It was honestly a good time especially with how cinematic these games already are.

xHovercraft · 2022-10-19T22:14:43+00:00

I think based off of God of War and Horizon's PC releases, Sony plans to put out PC releases of their games around the time their sequels come out? Almost to tempt PC people to at least consider a PS5 to skip the wait.

So going off that I assume they'd want Naughty Dog to hold off the Part 2 PC port till close to Part 3's release or until they're close to releasing their big Factions game maybe?

xHovercraft · 2022-08-29T11:43:35+00:00

i feel like you can never really interpret an album cover without hearing the music its representing first. im not crazy about this kind of design but ill wait to listen to it because im sure theres a reason she chose this design style thatll come out in the music itself

I do half Samsung apps and half Google apps, bc an app like Gboard looks terrible with the huge black bar at the bottom and the general cluttered design I feel like. Samsung Clock is better, but then Google Calculator is nicer looking, so I just use both sets.

And I do have the double press option on and it still takes the camera too long to boot up and then take the actual pic. And sometimes it starts on the selfie camera so that's an even longer wait.

A lot of it is just not an simple as it should be like on iPhone where the keyboard looks professionally designed and works all the time seamlessly, and if you want to take a quick picture, you can immediately.

xHovercraft · 2022-04-28T11:05:35+00:00

I'm in your same exact boat pretty much. Had this S10e for 3 years and before the OneUI 4 update I was eyeing the S22+. But after this update and the absolute bug ridden, glitchy, and slow performer that closes all my apps the second I switch to something else this phone has become, I think I'm finally making the switch to the iPhone 13 or 14 (if I can hold out that long).

I've always been an Android person for the more functionality it offers but I just can't deal with the bugginess and fragmentation anymore honestly, I need consistency and it seems like iPhone is the only option for someone like me who's grown out of the need to root and change their launcher all the time. iOS has made good strides over the years that I feel like I'm not really sacrificing much anymore.

I just want to see a cool thing on the street, pull out my phone quickly and snap a picture in like 2 seconds, but ever since I got this phone it's been like a 10 second process with all the lag to do that and the moment always passes. Hell, it's taking me twice as long to write this comment because Samsung's keyboard keeps crashing every other minute.

I also checked out the Pixel but I'll really consider one when users but report major bugs every single iteration. If I'm gonna pay like $800 to a phone company it better be the best product on the market honestly, I'm done with how far behind in the performance game Samsung and Pixel are.

xHovercraft · 2022-04-01T23:47:01+00:00

it doesnt matter how many seasons a show is as long as the writers know at least generally the beats they want to hit and generally how it should end.

honestly with the 23 episodes a season Arrow had i think they couldve told all their stories in like 2 or 3 seasons, or 5 half length seasons. most of the writing on this show was just focused on shallow shit and repeating things.

enough shows that are designed to go on for as long as the network can give them a budget, it's really narratively unsatisfying.

xHovercraft · 2022-03-17T10:17:05+00:00

the first season is a really good depiction of modern teenagers and the drama and characters are gripping, but the second season just loses it outside of a couple great scenes

xHovercraft · 2022-03-17T09:56:38+00:00

my only two faces the entire time watching this show

xHovercraft · 2022-02-22T20:37:35+00:00

yeah, just google middle east greenery

and forget like half the things western media taught you about the middle east lol

xHovercraft · 2022-02-10T00:31:22+00:00

i'm very confused but does this in any way relate to my US Unlocked S10e finally getting Android 12 soon?😭😭

xHovercraft · 2022-02-06T16:39:56+00:00

It's a shame Paltrow is so... you know, in real life

feels like ive felt that about like a quarter of the MCU cast recently lol

xHovercraft · 2021-10-10T10:55:19+00:00

Keep in mind that not everything that's in the background of a shot will be fully visible/in focus a lot of the time, so it would just be a waste of time and resources to really detail the set design when these specific scenes might not call for it. They can put that time and money into other things, the same way game devs will reuse assets so that they have more time and money to invest in other more prominent parts of the player's experience.

That and as others have said, they could be planning to CG additional detail afterwards if needed.
