Awesome, thanks! Offline is definitely more my speed, it sounds like, but, I could see getting into the dailies sometimes.


Very nice. I’ve only played story mode, and not all the way through yet. What are the main differences between that and online?


Yo, I started FNV for my first time this week! A friend of mine is always raving about it, so he sent me instructions to get it all modded out (Viva New Vegas modlist), so I did that and I’m off to the races. So far so good… it was a bit of a grind to get past the first couple of quests (I kept getting my ass handed to me), but now that I’ve killed some convicts and stolen their stuff, I’m in much better shape. Also I figured out I can sleep in beds that aren’t red.

I also heard that about not getting involved with factions yet…


hmmmmmm you’re tempting me to get back into this one. I think I have 60 or so hours on it? Not enough to try everything yet, but definitely enjoyed chilling in space.


Ooh that’s cool looking. Thanks! Definitely will keep an eye out for it when the time comes.


I have a OnePlus 8. I’ve had it for what feels like a while now… 3 years if I had to guess? Can’t remember honestly. But the battery life kicks ass, and it charges really quickly with the “warp” charger.

I only do a little bit of customization… I switched from Nova Prime to Kvaesitso recently and am liking it… but have never rooted or changed OS. The camera leaves a little to be desired, but that’s ok, I have a real camera for when I need to do that.

I probably won’t look for another phone until this one gets bogged down or otherwise broken, and when I do, I usually just see what my carrier has that isn’t super expensive. I generally avoid iPhones, and I prefer to stay away from Google as much as reasonably possible (I know I just installed their phone app, I know, I know) so I haven’t really considered a Pixel. But my arm could be twisted… I dunno.

I haven’t heard of Nothing!


nice, thanks. I have a OnePlus phone so the Google Phone app wasn’t installed on it by default. But I just installed it… hopefully fewer robocalls from now on.



oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.


Totally agree with this! Same thoughts about Spider-Man too.


You are right. There used to be some setting… I had it hooked in via Nova Launcher and some accessibility setting, where with one gesture I could “turn it off” without requiring password, and with a power button press I could fully lock. But Android has (fairly recently) removed that option. (Also, fwiw, I’m no longer on Nova, but that’s beside the point!) Thanks for checking that for me.



Good idea, but yeah, I tend to leave location off unless I’m using it for driving directions or something. I’ll keep it in mind though, thanks!


That sounds right. If I swipe down from the top, there’s my navbar, which very much feels like the phone is sitting there “on.” ok thank you! Maybe this idea was a pipedream after all, but I can get used to typing my password more often.



Battery use on OLED when screen black but not “off”?
Hey, what's up. I've been trying to get my phone (oneplus 8) all perfect again, after I recently decided not to use fingerprint security anymore. I now use a password, which feels right, but when I'm just sitting at my desk it feels like overkill to have to retype it so many times when I'm just checking little things. So.. I'm trying one of those pretend-screen-off apps (Blackr) with which I can "turn off" the screen with a quick press, for the times when I want my screen off, but don't need full security (like, I'm not leaving my desk, cops aren't breaking down my door, etc.). Then I just double-tap the screen to turn the screen back on. If I want security, I use the actual power button to turn the screen off, and then when I open it back up it asks for my password as usual. Anyway! I've been trying this for a day or so, and.. it just *seems* like my battery is draining faster. I think. Is it? I can't be sure, and I know the answer is to do some rigorous scientific testing, but I ain't got time... I knew someone(s) out here has been through the same thing and has the answer, so... anybody know? :) Thank you!!

We’re talking about Kvaesitso, right? I see 1.29.1 from Feb 21, whether I check it on fdroid or github.


Thanks! I grabbed it on fdroid, which gets updates, right? It looked like the most recent was 2 months ago, when I installed it.


Awesome… I just installed kvaesitso after (…about 10?) years of being a paid Nova Premium user. I uninstalled Nova and so far so good. Thanks!


Maybe this explains the sudden burst of Star Wars content in Rocket League?


oh my gosh… your comment totally confused me until I looked up Wordfeud. I was thinking of Wordhero! Have you tried that one? Think of it as MMO Boggle. 🙃 Wordfeud is great too though–I definitely played that too, just mixed up the two in my head.


Wordfeud is awesome! I had to uninstall it for a while because of the addiction, but I’ll be back…


damn!! That was my reaction too. Well… probably good thing it’s ios only or I’d suddenly have a lot of time sitting in the bathroom…
