There’s a difference between having a camera on your phone and having all of your services tied to one account. Once a picture is taken, you can do anything you want to it and there are any number of apps and services to help you do that. But if megaservice decides you violated some term of service, whether you actually did or not, you stand to lose everything – your email, calendar, wallet, messages, and access to any service that used megaservice for authentication.
FWIW, I’m appreciating the space for what it is and don’t see the immediate benefits of federation. Hang in there.
I gave up on looking at the number score years ago. When games get dinged for having a lousy story (which I always skip given the chance) or not supporting multiplayer (which I’ve used maybe a handful of times and even then just to get the trophy) a number score is meaningless.
Sure, these are good things to talk about in a review because sometimes it matters and helps set an expectation, much like, oh, just about everything else. Just lay it all out there and let me decide what’s important before I jump in.
I’ve been using Remember The Milk for years. I get daily notifications by email (doesn’t mean I always do them) and there is an app but several features do require a Pro subscription.
You don’t have to use it “only in my own household”, just need a Wi-Fi connection (though it would probably be more laggy anywhere else). And not every phone supports PS5/DualSense – Android 12 is required for full support; mine is version 10 and isn’t getting any more updates.
I haven’t. I had one. Too much lag. Maybe this will be better but I’m skeptical.
Portal != Portable
I had my own office for a couple of years. The commute, and the rest-of-the-office environment, isn’t worth it.
And here I thought short-termism was bad, where companies focus only on quarterly financial returns.
I’m here to interact with people, not bots. Bots, and everything they do, are soulless.
I did play Nex Machina. Forgot about that, it was so long ago. It was good, but Resogun was better. I think I tried Assault Android Cactus but barely lasted a couple of minutes. Don’t remember why.
I miss classic arcade style games and puzzles.
I want more games like Resogun and Geometry Wars. And I’d love to see more of Archer Maclean’s Mercury.
I hate the overwhelming number of currencies and crafting supplies. I shouldn’t need to have to gather so much of this thing and so much of this other thing (neither of which are labeled clearly, what they are and how to find them) to craft things. A small number of things makes sense, e.g. metal and powder to make ammunition, but when this potion requires 5 different plants and that potion needs 7, only some of which are common between them, it’s an unnecessary time suck.
Then, when I have an abundance of various supplies, I have to go to the blacksmith to repair my armor, run over to the jeweler to craft bigger gems, then go to the chest to stash things, go over here for various upgrades, and over there to craft the next potion I need. Why can’t all these things be in one place or at least right next to each other instead of scattered all over town?
Still playing Diablo IV (just hit level 72) and Puzzle Quest 3 (because functional addiction, which probably applies to Diablo IV as well).
Oh, and Cookie Clicker – 459 days and counting.
They’re just following the naming convention established by Windows: 1, 2, 3, NT, 95, 98, 2000, Me, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11
Wait, there’s an “end of the game”?
There are plenty of people who spout bullshit every chance they get.
