For what it's worth, the screen durability has gotten a lot better with recent phones. Some of the early models were way too easily damaged, but the current ones can withstand being treated like a normal phone.
That said, I still won't buy one until the price comes down. I think it's cool tech and I wouldn't mind having it, but it's nothing I need, especially not for the current prices.
It doesn't read like AI to me at all. I think some people, especially here on Lemmy, are becoming increasingly paranoid lately and think everything they see is AI-generated. I saw a comment here a few days ago where somebody accused an article of being written by AI because the writer used a lot of em-dashes. Like, some dude out there is getting accused of being an AI just because he's an English major. The amount of distrust in the most trivial of things these days is just wild.
Realistically, the gameplay loop doesn't look too different from something like Helldivers 2; go into a mission, fight enemies on the way to an objective, complete the objective, return back to your escape point. Really, the only difference is inventory persistence, but Arrowhead manages to stuff a lot of story into that.
I don't think it's the most conducive medium for storytelling, but it's far from impossible, if you ask me.
I really like the aesthetic, but the gameplay looks pretty much identical to every other extraction shooter I've seen. I feel like that's such a niche genre that already has a lot of big contenders, so it just seems like a weird move for Bungie to invest so heavily into this genre without offering anything substantially different.
The problem is that a live service game has to be a "complete" game, even at launch; ie. playing any one "season" on its own should be a satisfactory experience for a player. Star Citizen is nowhere near being a completed product.
You could look into getting some cable channels as a pretty cheap and easy solution. They're just plastic half-tubes that you can bundle the cables into and stick to the wall, so you could just have one pipe that runs up the wall to the back of the TV. You can paint them to match the wall and hide it a bit, too.
I really liked that generation, and would go so far as to call it my favorite; but that could just be me looking at it through nostalgia-goggles, because that was the first gen I actually owned and got to play from start to finish, myself.
I think you've got a couple generations or so left before it starts to really nosedive in quality. Sun/Moon was the breaking point, for me.
Some nazis out there think Trump isn't going fast enough.
