Heard about about the port literally today at 3 and immediately downloaded it, but I thought I’d have more time than literally disappearing the same day.

Was inevitable though.

Show’s not quite over yet, as of writing this the itch.io page is still live.

May that pseudonymous dev be blessed


Suppose it just formalized the situation already effectively in place. Bungie giving a thumbs down + major staff loss on a live service is essentially game over.
Glad they didn’t double down.


Hasbro being the worst, yet again

BG3’s only sin is having to be tied to the worst owner in tabletop gaming. Thank god Larian is independent.



I’ve done it; results are…flaky at best, YMMV

I can’t tell if it’s just my cable or my Pixels being… Pixels, but transferring from one to the other had frequent dropouts, elevated temps, high drainage, and sometimes disabled USB transfer until you plugged and unplugged again.

Might not be an issue on flagships or other OEMs but idk



Super cool to AEGIS, but their struggles are just beginning. Here’s hoping they prevail in making their workplace better.


Are we really going for a revival of 00s skeuomorphism? 💀



8 years to not-remove a part of the spec AOSP supports natively.
8 freaking years to develop a solution for native video-out that isn’t the confusing, low-quality, barely recognized DisplayLink.
8 goddamn years to admit to themselves that Chromecast mirroring is a dog shit alternative to DP-AltMode.

But 8 years hopefully come to an end.


I like MY — I just wish I could design more of it on the user side.

Auto generated colorschemes are great and give Android a level of class it has been missing for a while. But I wish I didn’t have to rely on a third party app like Repainter to finely choose my palette rather than hope the theme engine makes a good one. I also resent my icon shape, font, and icon options being ripped away from me.

There was a section on the original MY Google IO announcement that implies that the padding and roundness could be freely adjusted throughout the system. I wish that materialized (rimshot) into the final product.

The only objective regression I can think of with MY, rather than just an annoyance, is the Quick Settings. A merged internet toggle that no one asked for, a further reduction in a available toggles from Android 11, and not even bothering to make the Bluetooth toggle one of the fancy expanding ones instead of sending you to settings or surfacing the audio playback toggle (why can’t I change the output before I play media, Google?). Ugh.



I like the changes they did to make more apps flexible for foldables and desktop, and the animation and color engine updates.

It really annoys me what they did to the quick settings though. 4/8 toggles a page is not remotely enough.


Fingers crossed that this will be implemented well, im tired of having sleek electronics be irrelevant in 2 years when the silicon could go for 5 or six


Um.

I may browsing this thread from kbin, but I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to show anything weird like this right?
