They should fuse it with that ground RPG and make their own co-op No Man’s Sky.

if I change my 100 gram battery after 4 instead of 5 years.

But imagine if millions of people did this worldwide…

But true, I forgot about lithium’s improved recycling. Good stuff…

I watched that video, yeah. You’re right. However, it wasn’t 2 years long; it was 3 or 4 500-charge cycles’ worth of time across different phones, the total of which took 2 years. None of the phones was tested for more than about 6-9 months.

Anyway, yeah, I re-enabled my fast-charging, haha.

I use them for many other purposes, too, not just battery! Also, I did watch both entire HTX videos and they consistently did objectively show at least a few % battery saved every 6 mo when limiting the range on both ends.

Well, I’m not obsessive about it; if I can’t get to a charger, I just let it drain. Really, the most practical bounds are 20-80%. It’s really easy to make the phone ping a reminder at either end each time to remind you to connect or disconnect, via Automation, MacroDroid, Tasker, etc. Samsungs and Asus laptops also come with a Protect Battery/80% charging limiter already.

If you don’t care about the environment and just wanna keep buying and discarding batteries every few years, then that’s on you, but I value usage reduction and wanna try to make mine last 5+ years if possible. With that said, I don’t think I’ve seen this video before, so I’ll check it out, thanks.

It’s really a 20-80% range (look up lithium-ion 80%) but if I’m home, I may ask well keep it tighter if I’m already around charging sources.

A replacement is kind of cheap too

It’s about environmental care, not money.

That’s bad for the battery’s long-term capacity/longevity.

Charge slow (disable fast-charging) and (Never mind; this seems to be old news) stay within 40-75% at all times (for lithium-ion, anyway). Avoid both heat and freezing temps. Turn it off every night or at least on a regular basis. It will last for years longer.

back off on higher and higher power draw in phones.

Thanks for the reminder to revisit my Droid’s developer options and ensure my background processes are restricted to 4 at most.

Anyway, less cycle life is disturbing. Why they don’t try LiFePO4, I don’t get.

It looks like you double-posted: https://programming.dev/post/48863276

I hope they eventually crumple from hiring stupider and stupider team leads, then.

Thanks, TIL! Here I was thinking it was all manual!

1. You don’t need premium membership to play premium-only games; you only need 1 person at the table to have a subscription and then everyone else can enjoy the game for free. There are usually tables open looking for players, and if there is no open table to join, free participants can even put out a request for a subscriber to make a new table for strangers to join.
2. You can get 1 month of premium membership at a time for every 100 gift points that you acquire (which gradually expire if left unused). You can gain 5 gift points for winning for your first time at any game, so you can even rig it with someone else to just win at Battleship, Chess, etc. You can also acquire more gift points by contributing to tutorials, wiki entries per game (rules, strategies, etc.), or I think even filing bug reports or improvement ideas per game that get approved by the developers.
3. TTS and Tabletopia are 100% manual so you must already know the rules really well per game, whereas BGA holds your hand through all legal moves, so my circle of friends and I have even used it to learn new games blind (even though they also often have a tutorial). It also has a note system so you can type notes for yourself to remember things between rounds, if you choose to play in the optional turn-based mode (make your move whenever you’re next able to, versus real-time in which all players must be online simultaneously).

Board Game Arena is so good already, though!

only

As in, what, you want more? Such as…?

Dang. I wish I could enjoy replaying it, but nothing will capture the magic of the first time. I always love watching others experience my enjoyed titles live for their first time, though.

Sure thing! It’s excellent in bite-size chunks, yeah!

*laughs all the way to [email protected]*

Many individual devs on itch.io will do so (I think not Slice & Dice’s dev, though, sadly)!

Oh, Sans is smarter than that; he’d say how you can’t refund because you’ve already played for way more than 2 hours to get this far. If anything, he would mention your actual playtime statistic in his dialogue.

I haven’t read the article, but just going off the title, if that’s accurate: isn’t that how it’d be for any game? I’m not defending it but the only platform I’ve seen devs give Steam keys to players for ownership on has been on itch.io.

People don’t suddenly get rewarded cross-platform ownership just because they bought it on one platform. Same with Unrailed, had it come out on Switch first and Steam later, etc.; they must re-buy if they want it on Steam. Same with Slay the Spire: existing Steam owners don’t suddenly gain Android access just because it released on Droid, etc.

Wow! Does anyone know if this can run AutoHotkey ([email protected]), or would the Windows keyboard-usurping not pass through to Linux programs?

Oops, I misunderstood and agree; I didn’t realize a second launcher was the issue here. That is messed up.

I am aware of this list. Try comparing it to itch.io and GOG, though.

Thanks for the context, which led me to downvote this post. Come on, guys; not all complaints are valid.

Mandatory launchers can fuck right off.

… Iike Steam’s? 😛

Although l think it sacrifices achievement progress, you may consider Heroic Games Launcher instead, which is open-source.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

TL;DW?

I built a small python app

Cool! Wanna share?

Oh, okay. And Jotun is totally different and probably more akin to Hades or any other ARPG. I’d actually liken Bad North almost to FTL, in a sense.

We sure aren’t. This post is about Bad North: Jotun Edition! I own that game you mentioned (got it through a giveaway) but never touched it and never will; I don’t play games <80% in Steam review score.

I’m guessing you’re downvoting me or something…

The reason I said that is because I found it becomes increasingly engaging and tricky the deeper you survive, breaking up similarity. Did you try different difficulty levels? Some games’ enjoyment can significantly depend on a personally fitting difficulty level, whether hard or easy.

I’m not sure of what the reviews were like back then, but they’re insanely high on Steam, more than even what I had expected.

Did you beat it, though? The challenge gets awesomely intense on Hard!

Use Heroic Games Launcher to download and play Epic Games without using their launcher! That’s what I do!

I never tried it on mobile. I think the Play Store has a 2-hour refund window akin to Steam, so you could try the tutorial.

phone

It’s on Android and iOS!

buy several on a sale and then as long as one works out I came out ahead!

A.k.a. Humble Bundle?

have a fit girl I know

Can she do a handstand with one hand?
