Years ago that may have been true, but Messages combined with RCS support (and other carriers with their own apps supporting that should you not buy a Pixel) has been pretty uniform. If Apple would get on board then it would be a non issue by now.

I'm getting the 8 Pro, but think this artificial limitation of features is such bullshit. Really wish Google were better than this at this point in time. Those with the 6 & 7 pro could really use the manual selection. My SO has issues all the time with the 4x optical camera not automatically switching fast enough on the 6 Pro.

Tech is just as bad if not worse. We've had multiple rounds of layoffs. First few were honestly trimming the fat, but last one we lost some really good people.

Finally finished up the first playthrough of Baldurs Gate with my buddy. Amazing game. Working my way through finalizing all the things in Starfield right now. Despite the many, MANY, flaws that game is just clicking with me right now. Will probably be returning to Factorio and Cyberpunk to play the DLC here shortly.

Phantom Liberty is not available on "last gen" consoles IIRC, hence the lack of any of them showing.

Chances the creator of this came up with the idea, logo and all, while Shopping in a Publix?

Bethesda did it when they shut down the Bathesda launcher, but other than that it's not really something that happens.

Not sure, I'm not a big always-online required kinda guy 🤷🏻‍♂️

That doesn't look like a graphing calculator? For what it's worth, I haven't needed one in years but I used an emulator for one of the popular ones when I was in school. Still ran as an app and you just grabbed the ROM for it, but was far better than the competition.

Apparently the steam version is now, however.

This game has such a killer soundtrack. Only game that I've had where the songs have made it into my daily playlist.

Nova being bought out by a third party ad company made that a no go for me nowadays :(

Okay, so at no extra cost to me I get a $700 phone (by your standards) and a $350 watch, both of which I use basically all day every day for any number of reasons that will last me 3 years like my current one. Sounds good to me.

I grabbed a Pro for myself, a worthy upgrade from the 5, and getting a free Watch 2 with it is great. I love my OG pixel watch so that with better battery life is all I ask for.

BG3 is incredible, but I think Cyberpunk ties with that in many scenes (though there's much fewer sets of dialog). The rigidity of the dialog in Starfield is one of my biggest complaints, and that's coming from someone who really quite enjoys the game despite the many, MANY, things it could do better.

My fiance absolutely loves clicking on ads, exclusively on Facebook. It's terrible. I finally switched her over to Firefox with Ublock on Android but Facebook changes ad patterns so regularly they make it through probably 75% of the time regardless. Still, less tracking scripts for her now 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know the first game didn't, by the time I played the sequel (though I didn't enjoy that one nearly as much as the first) I did recall it being an option.

Pillars 2 had a turn based mode, didn't it? The gameplay is mostly there.

I just played through it this year for the first time as well (gave up a few hours in on the original release). Really is an awesome game with such a surprisingly great intro.

Yeah first thing that came to mind to me too. I'm hesitant whether or not they can pull of something already so successful. Anything with faster update phases would be good for the factory genre though.
