Plot twist. Going YOLO for this reason is exactly what starts the chain of events leading to your expiration.

Hey I found someone else with a mini! (Sorry, can’t talk, battery’s almost dead.)

With a mere 100 days left on my PS+ Extra subscription, an upgrade to Premium tier for the remaining time was just $5. That netted me both Saints & Sinners games for PSVR2 as well as a few others, including a 1 hour free trial of Demeo, which I fully intend to take advantage of.

Absolutely. Imagine how cool summons and area magics would be when they light up your room.

I never got into fidget spinners, but having parallax on my iPhone’s Home Screen probably had a similar effect for me. I’d just play with it every once in a while and enjoyed it. I’ve always been mindful of battery drain, but I consciously made an exception for parallax.

FF Tactics is a VR/XR dream port of mine. I’d love to see those battle arenas set up on my coffee table, with the ability to actually move the pieces around like chess.

I’m bookmarking this post because I’ll regret it later if I don’t…

So apparently parallax is quietly coming back? I’ve decided that’s now the thing I’m most excited for.

I think I would still stick to the current form factor. Repairability and comfort are of greater concern to me at this stage in my life than pocketability.

Oh I I have no idea if overcast will improve your battery life, I just like it. I think the UI is intuitive and the smart speed feature is amazing for talk shows.

Not saying this is a fix, but for people with small hands such as myself, swiping down on the switcher bar at the bottom of the screen pulls the whole upper half of the screen down to keyboard level. It’s called “reachability” and was introduced back when Apple started selling massive phones. It’s an extra step, so not ideal in frequent usage, but if you can’t afford to fumble around with your phone to tap a button on the top, it helps.

I dislike how inconsistent or broken scrolling can be for third party mice. And the lack of customization options for extra buttons.

I don’t use the podcast app (I use Overcast), but if this were happening, I’d check if it’s downloading a bunch of new podcasts in the background or something and see if there’s a setting to limit that.

Yes! If you have a full screen app open with stage manager active on your primary desktop, swiping between the full screen app and the desktop basically becomes a game of app roulette.

I was going to mention this if nobody else had. Easily the thing that makes me angriest most frequently on my iPhone is its behavior when trying to type out and edit longer comments. I honestly don’t know what’s going on when it starts acting funky, but the more time I spend, the weirder it gets. Sometimes I’ll try to place the cursor and it will select a word on a completely different line (it just happened when typing this up that I selected a word in the latest line of this comment and it selected the very first “I” at the top and started overwriting it). Sometimes when I try to change or retype a word, autocorrect suggests the new word mashed together with the old word. When a comment gets too long, the screen bumps up to the top of the page after every new word is added so it’s almost impossible to see what I’m typing. I don’t know if it’s the iPhone, the browser, or the webpage, but it’s a terrible experience.

Then sometimes it’s perfectly fine.

Sigh…

Wait… people are still trick or treating??

What’s the point of playing 1 if I can’t play the immediate story beats after that game and what’s the point of playing 2 without knowing what the fuck happened prior.

Particularly when all the NPCs act like you’ve been with them this whole time. Some robot dude dies dramatically in the opening sequence like I’m supposed to care, then there’s a plaque for him in the main hub area for the rest of eternity with no explanation.

My buddy and I have just gotten into Destiny 2 thanks to some free stuff I’ve gotten from PS+ over the years. Honestly, if you weren’t there from day 1, the learning curve is really prohibitive. Menus all over the place, NPCs everywhere that pretend like you know them, raids that require actual organization with people who don’t actually want to talk to you, no incentive to actually track the story, random stuff that ends up in your inventory that don’t seem to serve any purpose, a really weird leveling system, and of course a lot of proprietary vocabulary that just makes it all more confusing.

It’s a cool game, but after a month I still just have one friend and neither of us know wtf we’re doing. Had I any less patience, I would have deleted the game by now.
