Damn. I wanted this to escalate a little first.

It’s too late for Apple to close off macOS (and they’ve tried), so I think the goggles are meant to replace it altogether with an inherently closed platform. I hope Apple ends up having to open that platform up as well before it’s too late.
FFVIII was the first mainline FF game I played after exposing myself to the franchise with Tactics. I was new to turn based systems, so I never picked up on the criticism. I was blown away by the presentation, fantasy and adventure of it all. The gunblade was about the coolest thing a kid of my age could have been exposed to at that time as well. Right now I’m big into VII for obvious reasons, but I really want to replay VIII.
There was drama?
Are there no phones that run Linux?
All reasons I personally had for sideloading my iPhone went out the window when I bought a steam deck. Now I don’t really care what happens here.
Got a recommendation? Preferably a privacy-respecting one?
Tapping in a text field used to just put the cursor there. Double tapping would select the word, and triple tapping would select the whole sentence. At least I think that’s how it was. Now tapping almost always selects the word (sometimes it weirdly doesn’t, and it’ll select the first word of the next line if you tap the end of the line above… why would that be intended?).
If you want to place the cursor between two words, it best to use the cursor by long pressing the space bar or physically dragging the cursor (unless you’re very good with where you tap). If you want to add some text to a middle of a sentence, you’ll have to think very carefully about how to accomplish that without redundantly needing to retype some words that you had intended to keep.
Also, if an incorrect word gets auto-typed, hitting delete just removes the whole word instead of allowing you to just delete something like the last letter.
Some things change that never needed to. Editing text in iOS inexplicably got so bad in 17.
For me it’s Jessica Chobot replacing the journalist in Mass Effect 2.
I wonder if their long-term game is to open their own storefront on PC to better compete with Steam and Microsoft.
I think if they were to do that, simultaneous PC releases would be far more likely.
So, in other words, the AVP is apparently popular enough that journalists write articles if some end up getting returned. I guess that’s quite impressive.
I’m probably just getting pessimistic with age, but corporations just see dollar signs with subscriptions and reduced expenses with digital distribution. Then they will outlive you and me.
It may be objectively better for players to have physical copies of their games installed on hardware they have dominion over, but we are unlikely to be around to prove that to our great grandkids. We can’t even guarantee even our own children will care enough to try to tell theirs. I’m almost certain owning physical copies of digital content is going to be for niche hobbyists in the future.
As inclined I am to agree with you on a personal level, kids these days are trained to think games just come with MTX, and all bonus content in a game that isn’t a loot box is just paid DLC. All Microsoft has to do is just make this the easiest way to get Xbox games, keep it going long enough, and people eventually won’t know any better or even care anymore. Then they ratchet up the price to make it feel like they’re still profiting from console sales as well.
I don’t know what fomo means, but the trick with the Apple Watch for me was to uninstall all the apps by default then anytime I used my phone and thought, “You know, I could probably just do this just as easily from my watch,” I reinstalled that app (or something similar). Ended up taking my phone out of my pocket less frequently and ending up with better battery life.
None of this applies to an AVP, though, but it really isn’t hard to come up with a few useful ideas for that kind of tech in and around the home. Maybe not at it’s current price point, though. (And certainly not out on the streets like some doofuses are doing.)
Man, apple haters easily make up a far more toxic, elitist, gate-keepy cult than any apple enthusiast group I’ve ever encountered. Go pester some other group that likes stuff you don’t.
I actually have a 3D Blue ray of The Force Awakens, but I’m not even sure if I would be able to watch that on an APV even if I could afford one. Is your library all digital?
Not even the phone. Just a real, literal android.
I’ll give it less than a week until someone puts an app meant for something else on the App Store that actually just solves this problem for everyone. Then less than 6 months before they make it subscription only.
I started Trails in the Sky on PSP and haven’t been able to stop playing trails games since. Not the best in the series, but definitely where you want to start.
