randomizing can make you stand out more as an outlier
I’m sure, but if you have a specific set of colors matching a specific picture on your phone that nobody else has, I imagine that would be more easily traceable than if it were automatically switched out every once in a while. Granted, the other aspects you mentioned might be enough to just render the effort redundant anyway.
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.
One of my biggest concerns with subscriptions has to do with death. It feels gross to imagine companies just entitling themselves to my bank account after I’m gone, providing no value to anything, until someone comes along and cancels everything. Feels like one last free cash grab that could go on for years. I imagine board members congratulating each other for legally looting a dead man’s corpse.
Basically Android will change its UI coloring to align with your background image, and 3rd parties get access to knowledge about your designated UI colors, right? I get how that can be a privacy concern.
What happens if you set your wallpaper to automatically change every other hour or so? Does android allow that?
I just watched the ign review video and saw that you can unlock new strategems. I expect that might impact a few things. Also, I personally like the code system. I think it’s a fun way to feel like you’re punching in codes all the time, but the default controls my friend had on PC had the stratagem directions mapped to the movement directions (WASD), meaning he could not do any strategems while moving like I could with a controller on PS. He eventually remapped them to the keyboard directional buttons, but it seems weird that the default for PC is set that way.
I’ve been playing through FFVII:R+I for obvious reasons, but I also booted up Hell Divers 2 for the first time just today and heard a lot of complaining from my team mate about the default controller configs on PC, the weird directional key combo stuff, and how unclear a lot of the instructions were.
We failed some missions, 40 minutes wasted with zero rewards, because we couldn’t figure out what specific thing the objective indicator was talking about. We failed one mission not knowing how to calibrate a satellite, another not finding any way to destroy a facility, and another not knowing which building was a fuel depot even before trying to figure out how to blow it up. Then, after you’ve watched a YouTube video that actually shows you what your target looks like and how to do it right, it turns out you’re not even given the chance try it again in the game anyway.
I’m not as picky about it as my friend. I absolutely love the music and presentation, but I’m still waiting for it to be more fun than just weirdly convoluted.
Can’t wait for Feb 21th
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.
You’re probably right, but we both know companies would go on for years if nothing intervenes. Then blame it on the dead man when there is no money left.
