Jup. Surface Pro: Very lightweight, solid, powerful (for its size), fan-less (some models), both tablet and laptop, has an okay stylus. Whats not to like? Oh, right, the default OS. 😊
Furries. I seriously don't get the hate. Its just people with artsy hobbies. And if some of them put a bit of adult stuff into it too, why is that a problem? Theres enough other weirder sex stuff going on in the world that isnt hated.
And actual nerds was hated back in the 90s. I didn't get that either. They do nothing but doing their hobbies far away from you and sports and mass social stuff. Lot of them was just introverts. Cringy comedies was made about them, and that continues today with stuff like The Big Bang Theory. But in early 2K nerding was suddenly "cool" and everyone used the word and watered it into meaninglessness.
Anyone who enjoy being in the spotlight. Like seriously how people are mobbing any (failed) attempt at attention seeking. Why is it that nobody is allowed to stick out? Is it envy? I got no envy for them, I enjoy not having too much attention on me. But people who enjoy it should be allowed to do so without being hated.
Eventually it starts smelling again, like old book smell. I love that one too. I'm not as much a fan of the smell from glossy paper nor newspaper paper, but I don't hate it either.
So its about big corpos spreading misinformation and trying to kill something small to earn more money. Lemmy (and the fediverse) wouldn't know anything about that, right?
Thats on android only. And no, it isnt. If its a PWA then that button changes to "Install". Which does almost the same thing as "Add to home screen" except it opens the webpage up as if it was a separate app. That means it gets its own entry in the "Recent apps" list and its own icon, and it hides the address bar.
Edit: You can test this yourself by going to lemmy.world on your phone. It is a PWA. Any website can really be a PWA, it just needs a manifest file. Lemmy.worlds manifest are available here and you can see what settings it contains.
They've done objective research on this?! Why aren't we following the fuckin science? We're discussing the rules and duration when we should be discuss how to get it past the corpos and into implemented law.
And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.
A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.
They haven't been disbarred yet? LegalEagle did a hilarious episode about these back when it happened. They were lazy and extremely dumb. Once the judge asked for clarification about the missing cases, they used chatgpt again to make up fictional details about the cases.
As far as cover shooters go, it was not perfect, it was awful. You pop up, you shoot a guy while the rest of the enemies shoot you, you go back to cover to regenerate health. Repeat. And occasionally you move because of a grenade. Each combat area is very simple and only filled with half-covers. If you got killed, it was usually because of ones own impatience. They could have easily improved gameplay by adding some full-height cover. And some corner firing. That way you could actually avoid getting shot back at. Give the player some tactical choices. Maybe a few flanking routes.
And about the story.. Its very predictable. Once you realise the game pretends to give you options then takes those options away, it is obvious you are being setup as the bad guy in a Apocalypse Now kinda style. And the only reason I kept playing was that Extra Credits strongly recommended it. I was kinda hoping there would be some twist at the end. But no such thing. The boss is "defeated" and you are presented with the games first and only story choice that actually matter.
Dubai covered in sand was beautiful.
But thats just my opinion. Im glad other people enjoyed the game.
Why would he tweet about his losses in the first place? I applaud his openness (/s) but I doubt any investors or advertisers will come running to a dying social networking.
Oh eff. ANOTHER game in the aug-oct months of games I'm looking forward to. 7 games in 3 months, most of them big.
