Same, about 2-3 times over the years. Had to start over each time because I forgot everything. Just looking at the map gave me anxiety because it was just so much. I’m an OCD completionist, so I have to do everything, visit every place, collect everything. That game was just overwhelming. Everything else about it was great though.

I know right. I can go into Proton now and create an x@mydomain.com alias if I want…for free

I swear if I stare at this I can see his eyebrows move.

When I left reddit because my favorite app rif was shutdown, that was the first instance that caught my eye. I love Star Trek.

Guys guys, they’re talking about us!

Exactly, they have to do it justice like FF7

Yea I keep hoping for a 3D Chrono Trigger remake, but square keeps putting out garbage instead of revamping one of their greatest IPs.

That’s really all I was glad to see. I mainly watched hoping they’d win something. It was a great game.

Based off the title, a survival game?

I’ll be following this one. This was really the only game that stood out to me at TGA. But after the NMS release, I’ll be waiting for reviews.

This is a big one. I try to tell my ADHD teen he needs to do this because he is constantly forgetting to do things (feed his cat, pickup around his room, go out to the school bus in the morning). He’s very oppositional to change and doesn’t think it’ll help, even though he’s either on his phone or PC all day long.

Umm, sir, are you OK? You’re supposed to want them to all kill each other so we can claim their souls.

Sea of Stars recently came out if you liked older SNES RPGs. Reminiscent of Chrono Trigger, they even snagged one of the music producers from it. Great story IMO. I got about 45 hours out of it.

Hollow Knight if you like metroidvanias. Played through it 2 or 3 times now. My son and I are excited for the sequel if it ever releases.

Tricky Towers is a family fun Tetris type multi-player game.

Blue Fire, 3D platformer/metroidvania.

Hacknet, OS UI hacking sim.

Crab Champions (early access coded by EDM producer Noisestorm), 3D bullet hell/loot&shoot where you play as you guessed it… a crab. Has an amazing soundtrack.

Darkside Detective, 2D point and click puzzle solver with a hilarious storyline.

Death’s Door, top down dungeon crawler/RPG.

I believe the troubleshooter also does a WINSock reset as well. I’m not sure, though. I know it definitely disables/enables the adapter.

I can’t speak to GrapheneOS since I’ve never tried it.

I will say that my son has the 6a, and I don’t recall him complaining about it. My wife had the 6 from when it came out until the 7 came out and we traded that thing in as fast as we could because of the issues, but the 7 ended up doing the same things.

I’m still rocking my S21+ from 2ish years ago and it’s going strong. I hate the bloat, but it wasn’t as bad as I heard Samsung can be. I couldn’t tell you anything about the S22 or S23 generations.

It just seems like smartphone innovation has become stagnant. I’m hoping for the new fairphone due to the repairability. I dont want to buy the fairphone 4 due to it being over 2 years old already. I’ve found that I don’t need some beefy top of the line phone for what I use phones for. In fact, it seems like phones are having issues being actual phones now. In the past year, just trying to make calls has been horrible. I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten. I have so many dropped calls or poor reception, but my phone will show 4+ bars with 5G and will still stream music and do GPS navigation without issue. But make a phone call, nope, the primary function it’s supposed to have, it just says fuck you.

They’ve been trash phones since the 4. My wife and i had the 3s and they were great phones.

My wife has been through both the 6 and 7 now and is constantly having issues with the hardware and some minor issues with the software. Phones overheating and shutting off just from browsing the web, poor battery life, screen completely dying, apps like spotify and facebook just not loading or crashing, the phone freezing up and not accepting any screen or button input, the phone calling 911 by itself.

I didn’t hear great things about the 5 either. But it seems like their marketing department knows what it’s doing because the 8 sounds like it’s getting rave reviews yet again.

I’m hoping fairphone brings their new phone to the US.

If everyone who could WFH did, I’m sure the lower carbon emissions from so many fewer cars on the road would have been a large help. Buuut noooo gotta be in the office so you can see me type a little.

For Kindles, the Fire Toolbox will get you sorted if you’re below FireOS 7.3.2.2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-linux-tool-fire-toolbox-v32-2.3889604/

Sea of Stars has been the only game I made time to play in months.
