I hate that fucking pop up, there’s no way to turn it off! Just key me use the suggestion bar for corrections. Everything else I love about this keyboard but honestly that bit is making me want to go back to gboard.

They should though because the difference between a movie on streaming vs on bluray at what’s supposed to be the equivalent quality is just not comparable, audio being the most obvious compromise streaming services make that I always spot and I’m not even a massive audiophile and have bad tinnitus to deal with too.

It’s more that it’s a two birds one stone kind of situation. 4k bluray players still fell expensive considering all they do is play blurays
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 1 week ago:
Oh no, I’ve just realised that this might mean the end of bluray too because most people use PlayStation’s for watching blu rays. I know I bought a PS5 earlier than I needed to specifically for 4k blurays

Just got to let my nails grow a bit again before I continue, you know. If it makes you feel more comfortable I could start tapping at random intervals?

So a package manager with extra steps? Even windows has a package manager what’s the point of an AI install wizard?

Shazam is likely a bit more complicated and accurate since you’re sending data to an online service and you actively check a song at any time.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Now playing has been a thing since the pixel 3. I think it works by having an on device set of hashes for the starts of songs and listens for them snippets to then show it on your lock screen for what would be the duration of the song or until it hears another.

Sadly because of learning materials and the media, a lot of mainland Europeans that learn English often learn American English mannerisms. I remember in college there was a girl everyone thought was American to begin with but she just happened to be Spanish.

As a kid my first experience of it was a friend playing it so I got that feeling of wonder from that instead of trailers and the like, and because of that i was very satisfied with the game

It’s such a good fucking soundtrack, one of my all time faves

I low key prefer DmC over the others. The gameplay and music is just so good
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 3 weeks ago:
2 is my favourite, but I know some people bounce off of the combat hard because you’ve got to keep rhythm, not mash as well as all of the preparation you should do beforehand that can give you a better chance in the fight. For me though, that’s why I prefer it over 3.

Yeah i always rate a film based on how well it does what it intends to, I’m not comparing it to my favourite film, that feels like I’d just be disappointed in 95% of all films i watch and that would such a sad life.

- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 5 weeks ago:
5 and 6 are top notch couch co-op games. I think the only prior that hate then are ones that tried to play them solo

If it was completely fake, then yeah I guess it would be vegan. But that doesn’t mean a vegan would still want a fake “real” steak. Not ask vegans want that taste and also in this hypothetical may also not want to be reminded of the shit that had to go down for real steaks.
Also vegan and I use arch, btw.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 1 month ago:
Studio ghibli films are child friendly (mostly) but not for children explicitly
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I love all of the soundtracks mind but everything since 2 has just been iterations of what we got in 2 (and i don’t mean that in a bad way), but they’ve revisited the style of 1 and I’d love to hear elements of that brought back into the soundtrack of a future installment.
Since writing my comment, I’ve watched a video on paralives which coincidentally comes out in a few days and that is looking to be shaping up to be a spiritual successor to my theoretical Sims 3.5. So I’m excited to play that now haha. Hope their soundtrack is on point.

I enjoyed it for a time as a second screen game. Was great when not a lot was happening at work during covid.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Yeah as a fan of the series is annoying because there is no “best game”.
Sims 2 has loads of content, but sims only age if they’re in the current household so you end up with children that have moved out of their parents end up being the same age or older than their parents.
Sims 3 was arguably the best, even though it missed some of that “extra detail charm” that 2 had. But it had that awesome “open world” feel and all sims aged appropriately.
Then Sims 4 came around with the best Build Mode and Mood system out of the series that it now makes 2 and 3 feel not as good anymore. But then you lose all of the REALLY cool stuff 3 added to the series. 4 kind of feels like it pretended 3 never happened.
The best Sims would be a theoretical 3.5 combining the best out of 3 and 4. And then to go the extra mile they could add all of the extra detail flourish 2 has. (And personally also if they bring back the piano jazz of 1).

But at the time when they were trying to go independent it would’ve seemed a more accurate estimation of worth, it’s just weird that they kept that valuation and most likely added onto it by the time Sony was interested. But also Jim Ryan was obviously enamoured with the idea of live service games and Bungie already had a successful one running.

Hot Pursuit is the last Burnout game in my opinion. I love the handling in that game. MW is my fave but I definitely play Hot Pursuit more nowadays due to its pick up and play nature.

This is my favourite NFS and possibly overall racing game

Hard disagree, if you play 2, then go back to the first, they play so differently. Each iteration has movement getting even more fun than the last.

With halo and the staff that made it, you could argue they’d be worth that much but they didn’t.
