  • Online multiplayer is basically single player while you watch your friends play in the background. If they die nearby, you might be able help them, but if they get stuck on a particularly arduous platforming sequence, you quickly leave them behind and can’t really lend a hand in any way. The Mickey game was nice in that the camera would zoom out to accommodate other players, let you drop a rope for friends to climb, and you could share health. I think that was a very solid implementation of co-op for comparison - even though the genre of game is a bit different.

  • I think if I was playing alone I would like it more. The co-op design, particularly online, is not that great.

    Of course they’re going to make more.

  • No, my dude. You just seemed like a non-native speaker of English and I was trying to help you out. It’s what I do for a living. I’ll be happy to teach “USAian” to my students if it ever becomes commonplace vernacular that they would likely hear on the streets. Unfortunately since it’s kind of grammatically nonsensical and weirder to both say and understand, that might take a whole lot more effort to accomplish than you seem to think it will. Good luck though. I find linguistic evolution interesting, so I won’t stop you.

  • i like the games, but their support service and “account protection” bs is abysmal. They’re like characters in their own game.

  • On the phone (in normal mode - I don’t have one of these stands set up), you can long press a stack and disable “widget suggestions” to keep other apps (such as the App Store and News apps) from making an appearance.

  • lol alright then. Good luck dictating how a language operates.

  • Oh I meant crushed Reddit’s “protest” or whatever the article called it.

  • I really hate to break it to you, but the name “America” didn’t come from the Americans.

    (And if the person I replied to had been speaking in Spanish, I wouldn’t have had any reason to reply.)

  • “USAian” doesn’t read better than anything when it’s a made up word that looks ridiculous. Just say “a US car” or “American”.

  • Have you checked out pixelfed?

  • Reddit didn’t do shit. Lemmy and Kbin crushed it by existing as alternatives. People who were unhappy just went there and settled.

  • USAian

    If you really want to go down that road, use something like “United Statesman” or something that actually fits the language. “Americanian” is absurd and people will take you less seriously for it.

  • Isn’t RCS an open communication standard?

  • In Japan and a lot of Asia, most people use LINE.

  • That was an interesting read. There wasn’t actually any mention of green bubbles from Apple indicated in the article, but the emails referenced in a different article linked in that one quoted a top exec’s concern that adding iMessage to Android would only remove a barrier to parents buying their kids something other than an iPhone. The intent is pretty clear that they don’t want Android and iPhone users to be able communicate fairly in iMessage.

    Still, isn’t RCS support enough? I mean, assuming you simply refuse to just ask other people to download a different app?

  • The point you’re trying to make is correct on a technical level, not a functional one. Unfortunately we can’t will languages into behaving in ways we think is ideal simply by making pointless assertions in obscure forums.

  • Do you have a source on this? Sounds like an interesting read.

  • At the very least, hopefully Apple will notice that there is enough of an appetite for iMessage on Android that people are getting innovative about it.
