"Good enough for game pass" Laura brings up some excellent points - Obsidian shipped on time, after being acquired - Obsidian already has outer worlds 2 in the works - Obsidian gets the OW team back together Avowed may not be a win on its own, but in the context of a MS studio it's a win, and they cleared their plate to focus on OW2.

If your having unsatisfying location, go through this guide to turn on Google everything for location.

You will need to grant “Allow all the time” Location access to Google Play services along with the Nearby Devices permission for it to have all the access it needs. You need to use the “Google Location Accuracy” link from the sandboxed Google Play configuration menu to access the Google Play services menu for opting into their network location service, otherwise this is all pointless



So the core video complaint is here

Your $70 Doesn’t Buy You Cruelty

Where I think he makes a crossed point about social media. Attacking a game worker on social media who is just minding their own business isn’t cool, I agree.

However, responding to a game workers taunts on social media is exactly the engagement social media was designed for. That’s why the creatives are there calling their customers toxic to get engagement






The embargo lifted and my YouTube is flooded


I twlnetted in yesterday, but I realize ansi support really isn’t thing on Mac OS.

Anyone have a good terminal recommendation for macos?



Todd Howard seems to be bitter about the love for fnv, so he will never let it happen again



If only there was a digital fungible currency that didn’t require a uninvolved third party to allow.


Or change resolution quality

About 1m estimated sales on steam, so probably 2m across all platforms, not bad - I wonder what her next project will be?





Star citizen right now is great if you have a group of friends to play with. You can divide up work, do your space cowboy stuff. You and your friends just need a high tolerance for jinky systems



No… this is a human problem. Anyone with attention can wield it, people with agenda covet it


The core problem is if you have people’s attention that is worth money, and it will always be a corrupting influence in any medium.




Maybe there are hairs to split about blame.

But the review tells you if a game is worth buying, and if it doesn’t work - it’s not worth buying. Doesn’t matter who is responsible. The negative reviews are valid.


If only a multibillion dollar gaming company with 20,000 employees could afford to signing to the MSDN and evaluate prereleases.


That was surprisingly difficult.


I don’t have any opinion about what phone you want to have. Be happy.

I’m satisfying the OPs question, with real actionable data. I’m not running around down voting people because they like things I don’t like.

However if you, or someone with your same attitude, wants to pick up the DivestOS repos and builds, I will applaud and cheer!


https://grapheneos.org/build#build-targets

you could always build GOS yourself and use the older targets (and get the vendor files from the aosp)

It’s more elbow grease, but its not too much


GrapheneOS is a similar philosophy as divest, remove as much risk surface as possible. Only pixel phones getting security firmware updates are supported though


It really is an exclusive Android feature.

But if you can load open source apps without using the Apple app store, I’d love to learn how.



Pin a app to the screen, so if you need to let someone use their phone they can’t get super nosy.

owner account can have a work profile, separate apps, have two versions of the same app, or just put some apps behind another fingerprint/password (can be different then the main phone unlocks)

Multiple user accounts (totally different accounts, totally different apps) : great if you want to let a kid play games, or let someone search the internet, or if you want to be really clean and keep work apps totally different. Mostly useful on tablets to let multiple people share the tablet.

The ability to run open source apps from fdroid, newpipe is an amazing game changer for anyone who watches youtube. (no ads)


It’s a game I only really enjoyed when I played with friends. And then the creativity, and the collaboration, it was amazing.

DOS 1 - Divinity Original Sin 1 - Enhanced Edition
Just picked up DOS1 in the steam sale; just started playing only 4 hours into it. I started a tactician run, I've been party wiped about 8 times so far. so far I enjoy it, great voice acting. Some of the UX improvements in BG3 would be welcome, but its not too bad. It's neat because you see the arc of the Larian engine over time. https://steamdb.info/app/373420/

Concord : why did it take 8 years to make?
Concord is very polished. But it still seems fairly contained, a bunch of heroes, a handful of maps. Where did the 8 years go? Firewalk studios has 169 employees as far as i can tell. They use unreal engine, no single player campaign Where did the time go?

Dustborn is pretty good
The game got a lot of hate online, but I've generally found when a game is hated on, there's usually something more. So I decided to actually play the game. I'm 5 hours in Honestly I like it, for telltale like walking simulator, it sets up the story pretty well, it has some nice sci-fi beats. It's good for what it is. It isn't anything it promises not to be. I think it's a good game, I'd recommend waiting until it goes on sale for $10 maybe. At that price point it's about the cost of a movie and That's where I put it in terms of value pricing.

How to rotate phone upside down?
On stock aosp, and pixel android, I can auto rotate the phone up, left, or right, but if I turn the phone upside down the screen won't rotate. Is there a way to enable upside down rotation? I think it would be quite useful. I.e. When phone is charging, or hanging phone up by a strap, or when using a usb-c device and you want to prop it up on a desk
