I can't yet. I mod two functionally dead mags that I'm trying to keep going. It's just small populations, and from Reddit, it seemed either no one jumped over OR they just don't care enough to find the community here. One did well to have 1 post a day in Reddit that wasn't spam. The other was pretty active, but it's a niche game so.

When it comes out, I'll probably wait until cross-mod comes out. Or I'll just keep an eye on it from Lemmy and mod from kbin as needed.

Oh fuck. If Boost shows up for Lemmy, I may have to join Lemmy instead...I fuck with Boost HARD

If only you could like....ask? But I guess that's the crux of the issue.

Do people you meet introduce themselves to you as Mrs/Ms X? Maybe if you work exclusively in/around schools...

Looking at my iPhone 11 Pro work gave me and it's silent switch on the side. Lol

Definitely out already.

I swapped from a 3 to a 5 pro and same. I got it specifically for fitness stuff, and aside from issues with HR monitoring on my hairy arms, no issues.

It's not my favorite option, but I got it on sale for like $400 while similar specced Garmin and other options push $7-800.

Apparently I'm going to be a bit of a dissenting opinion, but I think they're interesting as an option. The appeal of "as-stock-as-possible" Android on a mid-high range phone is where I land in what I want. It's why I had a 1+ 5T and now a 1+ 8Pro, but continued software and OS issues with their version of Android and just continued price climbing and parity with the shitty OPPO OS they are using has me searching elsewhere.

I left Samsung with the...Galaxy S3? I think? And have had no will to return to their bullshit. I had an LG Nexus 5x that bricked itself, which isn't a glowing review of the brand in my eyes. Pixel is the next closest competitor, but I don't care for camera power, so it's large selling point is way down on my priority list. Nothing is as good an option as any for what I am usually looking for, tho I may wait for this cycle to complete and see what Phone 3 looks like.

This also ignores that shouting at someone in no way infringes on their ability to speak. It's just something they don't like to happen. Ironically, much like women going to abortion clinics and getting shouted down and harassed, simply based on their religious belief that abortion is wrong. But whew, let's not apply logic to their beliefs...

Lol tell this to people who are upset that every planet doesn't have a thriving colony in it. The "empty planets" are frustrating to them.

Not that you or they are wrong, it just highlights that matters of opinion on things like this are a spectrum, and sometimes you end up on the far end. I like that I can land on a planet and have something besides just rocks, but also that's it's procedurally generated so that it isn't the same every time. It's false replayability, sure, but if I like playing the game, it doesn't matter to me that the layouts are the same.

It's only 1.5k/hr more, so short term gains are marginal. But over the course of the skill, you can expect to save roughly 30 hours.

(This is literally all made up, but you have so many extra toes, just try it out) ((Also ignore that they added a tired mechanic so you can't AFK mine it anymore, that'll get reverted. You wanna be ready for when it comes back, detach that sucker))

I thought so! There are a lot of little quirks with travel. Usually I get scanned by the Feds landing at New Atlantis, other times I don't. Sometimes I can jump straight to surface other times I need to go from orbit. Just little things I haven't paid attention to so I can't say definitively what the criteria is. But, jumping from the scanner is a way nicer way to do it. I just got in the ha it of traveling from the quest menu because I can go from planet surface -> new system -> planet surface with one action (usually).

I mean, I get where you're coming from. But this didn't start with Starfield, and Sony has a great track record of even more restrictive platforming than Xbox does. Microsoft games are now usually accompanied by some kind of PC access.

Not an excuse, but expecting Microsoft to extend an olive branch of non-exclusivity to Sony when they have historically been incredibly averse to it themselves is not really a realistic expectation.

 

It's my assumption that they are supposed to function like flair; for instance, on a game magazine I mod, I'd add a badge so a post could be flared for a specific platform for patch notes, and users could search for their "platform specific" posts.

Am I misinterpreting that? Or is that what it's intended use is and it's just not functional for now?

Thanks for any help!!
