Genuinely curious, why would someone buy this over steam deck?


How do you keep such a phone safe from scratches. I can’t imagine it lasting a long time


I always wondered what it was and why was it there. Like it does look like they’re taped, but why? I never thought of it as a consequence of age. Thank you for opening my eyes.



I downloaded an extension that blocks sites I want just to block that garbage of a site


There’s is an LSPosed module called Disable-FLAG_SECURE that does this


Ironically for a video games company Nintendo don’t really seem to quite understand how the modern world works.

That’s nothing new.


It certainly doesn’t outperform 80 and 90 series cards. The 70 series cards have always been performant budget oriented cards, not the top end but pretty good performance for the cost. 4070 and ti are not that.


Man, 4070ti (a midrange card) is almost a thousand. 4090 is two thousand


Just because it’s for children doesn’t mean it has to be bad.


S24 Ultra isn’t any cheaper and it’s selling well.


If this isn’t proof that it’s made to extract as much money from you as possible then I don’t know what is.


If you’re from Europe then you can get install a custom bootloader regardless of Snapdragon.


Yes I agree in that sense, but we both know they don’t mean an open ecosystem whenever it’s mentioned. Other than KDE Connect I can’t think of any other example of open ecosystem.


I really hate the idea of ecosystem, a way to lock you in. Kde Connect is a much better system imo.



Title sounds so sleazy and scummy and I want to read the article but I don’t want to give clicks to slimeball who wrote this



Don’t you have an option to choose N version made for European market when you install Windows?


Can’t say that I saw something like that, but that is the version before the acquisition. Just in case, you can download from apk mirror older versions.


The branch analytics got added in version 8 so 7 should be safe. I don’t think it was added in version 8.0 but a slightly later patch, but I avoid it nonetheless.


Joke’s on you, New Vegas wasn’t written by Bethesda and go figure, it’s the best game in the series (alongside 1 and 2).


This might be a bit off topic but I hate how you can’t dismiss these kind of messages and be done with them, instead you have confirmation or remind me later. They just keep pestering you and I find that insulting. The same thing with Google play pass whenever I install something, that damn popup keeps coming back.




Do you really believe money from microtransactions goes to the developer and not the publisher? I would sooner believe in a unicorn than that.


You used to be able to unlock cosmetic content by playing instead of paying. They’re taking advantage.



I too wanted to ditch Nova, but couldn’t find something that was a suitable replacement for me. Now I use older version of Nova (version 7) before it was acquired by Branch and I don’t intend on updating it.


I think it’s just included in the GOTY edition or whatever it is you buy now that includes the DLCs. I’m not certain on this though. It’s been a while since I played last. You may have to add it yourself.

Yeah, I saw it on Nexus mods now when I was searching for it, titled fixed version.

I mostly stick to indies or old games

Yeah I think indies are the best games to play right now with biggest variety and on some of them you can really feel that it was made with passion and love for games (like Terraria) as opposed to the supposed AAA games. I get that rare feeling when I finish them where I don’t want them to finish because of how good they are.

I did play the first Dragon’s Dogma and I loved it, which is why I just get sad about this game when I hear about some dumb things like complicated fast travel (unless you pay) under the guise of “the creator thinks it’s not fun.” Yeah get bent. I never finished the first game and I think I just might start a new game.

DD2 MTX might not be as horrible as others, but I still find it insulting. Microtransactions are there with a purpose. If it was some small indie developer I might understand, but not for Capcom, Konami, Ubisoft, Take Two or any other big publisher.


Yes, I avoid those games completely. I haven’t played neither Helldivers (didn’t know about it actually), resident evil, assassin’s Creed origins and Valhalla, shadow of war etc.

It’s easier for me to avoid them because I don’t really like most of the releases these days, although I did want to play shadow of war. The only one I played in recent memory is Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve played monster hunter games for a long time, since freedom unite, but if they shove MTX in the new game I just won’t buy it. I’m so sick of this nonsense in the industry that I wouldn’t even pirate it. There’s a million older extremely good games I haven’t played yet and full priced open world, crafting, stealth action games with light rpg elements and MTX can disappear for all I care.

I have never heard of that teleport option nor seen that plugin in my list of plugins. I didn’t know it existed at all, interesting.


Why didn’t they make better with batch select? Scoped storage was fine for this kind of thing. Unless you want to access Android/data folder.


Digital Foundry with their peasant 7800X3D and RTX 4090 dropping frames in a large city.


Yeah, no. I don’t agree with those new modem standards because why in the world would you pay for glorified cheats? We used to get them for free! It’s corporate greed just wanting to extract every single cent out of you.


I used to be excited about new Android versions 10 years ago, now I’m thinking what are they gonna take away next.


Divinity 2 is completely awesome. The humor is just 👌 Original Sin 2 is just amazing.


I’m sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Because the industry adjusted people’s expectations and they got the game anyway. I saw threads just like this about MTX in re4.

But it doesn’t matter because we complaining about them are minority, people are gonna buy it anyway, they’re gonna shove more of them in the next game and it’ll break another sales records because nobody cares anymore.


That’s the issue right there, you keep justifying this behavior. This is a 70 dollar game from a giant corporation, which you have to pay to play, and they expect you to pay more. MTX have no place here. They are not putting them in game because of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it because of greed. If they didn’t want you to buy them why would they put them in?

I’m not talking just about this game, this is my opinion about any game. It’s time to put the foot down. They are slowly boiling us like a frog, first with day one dlcs and season passes and now this.

EDIT: Let’s not forget about performance issues for 70 dollars. The real AAA gaming experience.


Just because it’s nothing new doesn’t make it acceptable for any game, studio or publisher. They are doing this because people are accepting it and know they can get away with it.


I don’t care that it’s a single player game for fuck’s sake. I have a problem with free to play monetization in a paid game, not just this one any other game.
