I turned it off when it failed to failover to sms when there was no data connection.

Are both me and the recipient online? Send RCS. Are either of us not connected? Send sms. How is that so hard?

Otherwise RCS is just "worse SMS for people with intermittent data connectivity".

I wonder if Android Wear wouldn't work as an OS basis for this - lower power requirements, probably allows black-and-white screens. The problem there is that Android Wear is absolute hot garbage that can't decide if it's stand-alone or companion to your phone.

Why is not just targeting raw AOSP instead of Google Android not considered? It seems like you could use modern hardware with that... is it the lack of Play Store that's the dealbreaker?

That's not how inflation works.

Yup. The game is pretty overrated, imho, but its aesthetic was amazing. No lighting system, everything was hand-shaded with textures that really got the Megaman look. One of a kind style.

Imho the problem with the 3D-era pokemon games isn't that they look low-fi, it's that they look low-fi in a boring way. Like they were built from asset-store content from 15 years ago.

If ever there was a game that could've gotten away with some weird theme like voxel-art or heavy use of billboarded sprites, it's pokemon. Like, imagine a pokemon game with pixelated hand-animated textures like in Megaman Legends. That would work.

No, it's complaining about how some games are so swingy that even with skill-based matchmaking the game always seems to be a landslide in one direction or the other.

Overwatch is the worst for this.

Game one: We absolutely steamroll and as tank I do more than both DPS players put together. Yay.

Game two: We get our asses kicked and some Ana who doesn't know to switch or group up when they're getting dived spends the whole endgame screaming how awful our tank is.

Whoever decided it was okay to hold electronics together with glue instead of screws needs to go The Hague.

This is !ADHD@lemmy.world, I kind of figured people would join this sub after a diagnosis.

Fair point, but that means the ban should be coming from Department of Commerce, not the DoD.

Don't try to come up with bullshit excuses about espionage.

"We're banning these private-business Chinese websites because China bans our private-business websites and that's anti-competitive".

for everybody reading this who haven't tried them already:

The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.

I'm not sure how this is misogynistic. If you swap the genders of everybody involved, it would still be fun.

Let's imagine a crazy hypothetical: It's Alternate Reality 1993. Margaret Thatcher retains control of the UK government, having won the leadership election in 1990, but has become increasingly unhinged from her long rule and is now publicly proposing reabsorbing Upper and Lower Canada back into the UK and is relentlessly mocking then-Canadian-PM Kim Campbell about it.

Canada-UK relations are hopelessly soured.

And also there are incessant rumours about the Iron Lady having sexual fantasies about her son Mark.

And, in the winter of Alternate Reality 1993, ousted former-PM Kim Campbell (known political foe of Margaret Thatcher), has a public and torrid affair with Sir Mark Thatcher, making neo-imperialist Margaret Thatcher furious.

That would be hilarious.

Exactly. Which means he's free. Free to cause whatever mayhem he likes without worrying about losing an election.

Personally I'd never want to see him screw up a happy family with young kids though.

That's why he should boink Melania, not Ivanka. Also she's actually Trudeau's age.

Does anybody actually want one of these things?

No.

Trump's wife.

Toronto Star is now Globe and Mail, Globe and Mail is now National Post, National Post is now Toronto Sun, Toronto Sun is now Infowars, and Infowars is now The Onion.

"this hour" new year special was actually pretty good except that the Poilievre bit dragged on far too long.

Trudeau's interview was excellent, given the constraints that a PM is under.

Jujitsu with Jagmeet was fun too.

I've never heard "I'm sorry Jon" called gorefield before.

Wait they're still there? How the hell are they still there?
