Yeah, it was annoying when I couldn’t turn off the alarm on my sleep anymore.


Pixel 6Pro updated from A15 to A16: can I change the UI for answering calls back?
Every few updates, Google seems to hire a new team of UI engineers and it's annoying. I'm too old to change! grumble grumble etc. On Android 15, I swiped up on the green phone soft button to answer calls. Now it's just a button. I swear at one point on previous versions it was a swipe-to-center. Is there anyway to change the behavior back to swipe up? Is this a component that I can replace entirely to keep it stable? I'm using Nova launcher (disallowed updates since they were bought by someone sketchy) and I am playing with F-Droid, if that helps. TIA!

I don’t see a need. Roblox is FULL of unlicensed IP copies. Apparently labooboo (so?) is the thing now. They cram whatever the cool IP is into every game.

Sonic the hedgehog movie comes out - all of a sudden there are sonic obstacle courses. Sonic idle games. Sonic PVP. Sonic tower defense.



Are there mods to make that part more interesting? The colony building and management is my favorite part of the game.


I played this as a yoot! the main voice actor is Bruce Cambell. Just bought it for $2.50.



Have you looked in your silverware drawer?



I’ve never understood paying for cosmetics. I don’t even care about unlocking them. It just seems pathetic to me.



Bro, let me Rimmington your Falador while you Edgeville, and then I’ll Karamja my Wizard’s Tower in your Waterfall Dungeon.





It’s a license to play the game, so when you pirate it is like sneaking into the movie theater. There’s no additional cost to the producer, but theoretically a loss of revenue from the license (movie ticket) you didn’t buy.

All that ignores the fact that they sure do pretend they are SELLING the game when it’s convenient.



Oh, I see what you mean.

You can set this as your default application whenever you click a link, and it’ll let you strip off the tracking bits and stuff before you go to your browser or whatever.


Whichever browser you end up choosing. I use Vivaldi quite happily.



This is a great story about how mods can add accessibility options.

GNU Sir Terry. He lives on in the Clacks.



I wonder if they’ll go with acclaimed producer/director/asshat Uwe Boll?



Really appreciated the detailed review and pictures. Is the game replayable? Looks like there’s only one map?



Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you’d like to share?



Maybe it gets to be more scummy than you want, but how about notifications when you have no activity going? Like when you finish traveling or your inventory fills up.


Just chiming in to say that I enjoy this game. I just noticed accidentally that I can search in the inventory/bank for things other than the names of items, like searching for “carpentry” returns all of the gear and tools that have carpentry bonuses! That’s a really big deal for me because the bank is so full I was keeping notes outside the game on which tools and gear I need for each skill.


Seconding the recommendation. Alyx is the only really amazing experience I’ve had in VR.



All the people are saying it, so it must be true.





That doesn’t mean it can’t ALSO be shovelware. It doesn’t look very good but it seems like it’s at least playable.


That DOES look good! I really appreciate you telling me about it.


It’s the only really compelling VR application I have yet tried.


Alyx was really fun. The first time a soldier reacted to my reaching out and touching them with my controller scared the bejeezus out of me!
