Settings> Advanced > Load Gesture Typing Library

Easy enough to install, but despite using a closed-source lib from Google, it doesn’t seem to work nearly as well as GBoard. Feels like I have to go back and correct every other word, and it doesn’t seem to choose words contextually or learn from the ones I select.

It gave me the word “Ines” 3 times just now while trying to swipe “ones”. Trying to swipe “pretty” gave me Perry, prey, Peru, petty, piety, pottery, and pet before I gave up and typed it manually (or “toured it nakedly”.)

Back to GBoard for me I think. Unfortunately, I don’t see the benefit of a FOSS keyboard that is forced to use closed-source Google code anyway for an objectively worse experience if you rely on swiping. FlorisBoard says they’re working on their own implementation of “glide typing” that sounds promising, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that.


So just to be clear, people aren’t allowed to criticize ads in Firefox unless they’re open source developers actively contributing to Firefox or they only use… What, Opera?


The camp is a large part of the appeal. Think Japanese sci-fi B-movie that never takes itself too seriously. If you can appreciate bargain bin monster movies, you’ll probably dig the goofiness of EDF.

Gamplay-wise, it does get a bit repetitive, but the more recent titles have improved on that somewhat by allowing for more organic progression without having to do quite so much grinding for armor and weapons.


The device in the thumbnail is the Ayaneo Flip DS, for anyone else wondering. From a quick search, it runs Windows and is stupid expensive.


It works most of the time, and they sort of addressed the main complaint I saw, which was with the infamy system. Definitely still has some major problems, but a lot of the hate is pretty overblown.


It’s been a terrible launch and there are still major issues that need fixing. Too little content, bad progression system, bad matchmaking system, mostly boring skill tree for loud… But I’m still having a lot of fun with it despite all of that. I wanted more out of a finished game, but at least most of the heists that it shipped with are interesting and fun. 99 Boxes can go to hell.
