Minishoot’ Adventures $11.99 (20% off)

Isometric Zelda / Metroidvania / bullet hell with a lot of accessibility features and neat art where you’re a lil spaceship guy. Has a demo to see if it’s your jam. Already beat it twice, would really love for them to make DLC or a sequel.

Doom 2016 and Eternal had multiplayer season stuff, but it could easily be ignored.

Is your home connection down that much? I’d think that even syncing once every day or so would populate everything fine, and if you’re at home it should update over wifi.

I might just be spoiled because I’m the only one using mine and only for a handful of devices.

Y’all seem like you’re having fun in the corner but that’s not a great comeback when Terraria is just sitting there.

Is there a lot of benefit to running postmarketOS compared to rooted Android?

I’ve had some trouble with flashing an old Asus tablet in that all the old images/info are basically dead links. But that is mostly just your average link rot.

I figured compiling a custom ROM was more trouble than it’s worth but if the main branch is actively maintained maybe less so.

It’s generally nothing big enough to have heard of unless you’re looking into whatever niche it fills.

Only example that comes to mind is mechanical keyboard stuff. For some of the smaller / one-off designs there was a habit of “if you need troubleshooting, here’s a discord link” instead of even minimal documentation. For “standard” stuff that used the same lil microcontrollers as everything else just a minor annoyance, but saw it with ones that used custom / no microcontroller too, where even a “you need X diodes, Y sprockets, etc” would’ve been nice.

Like OP tend to see it and move on and forget about it because it’s not worth it. The few times I really wanted to get some service running on a raspberry pi or arduino or whatever and tried the discord was a handful of ‘regulars’ swapping memes that were annoyed I wasn’t intimately aware of their codebase.

Yeah Nintendo tends to move pretty quick on these things. From what I’ve seen there’s not an obvious objection that wouldn’t also include things like Digimon.

Sync is nice IMO.

I think this is much more likely what they think people will pay. And/or what they think a percentage of people will pay that will cover costs/lost revenue from other users leaving. They have basically zero incentive to make it a 1-to-1 replacement.

YouTube premium

Offline and Background video play are the two main ones they tout. Which have also either been part of youtube previously or easily done for free by third party apps.

Was curious before about setting it up on a Samsung TV, apparently can sideload an app or something? Didn’t look too far into it because Plex ‘just worked’. Will have to revisit that.

Also fun, they rely on quantum mechanics.

Individual “bits” on a SD card are electron buckets that are either “full” (they have an electron) or not. 8 bits to a byte ~1 trillion bytes to a terabyte.

Personally I love Elite Dangerous, but have still only spent ~50 hours in it.

It’s a fantastic flight sim. But IMO it’s just not as captivating as a purposefully created narrative. It’s good for different reasons. I know they’ve added ground/walking stuff since last I played. I know you can discover alien stuff and wander alongside the ‘story’ in the game. But it’s closer to FromSoft style reading text descriptions and forum posts to follow the story than it is playing an RPG.

It’s gotten significantly better since ~2010 or so when I was first struggling with it. Valve developing Proton on top of it definitely didn’t hurt even if that in particular is more games focused.

Drug dealers would go out of business if users would stop paying for them.
