Those iPads definitely got destroyed 😬

Tbh I know this isn’t helpful, but I recommend take the L and find better games to play. Errantly perma banning users shows a lack of consumer consideration and does not deserve further energy to fix. They fucked up, take your business elsewhere.

Again, I know it’s not helpful but I think worth considering. Companies some decades ago used to be user experience as the top goal, but that has gone to the sidelines for many companies, and I don’t think it’s good to normalize. Hence, boycott when it happens.

Fuck you too

TEN WHOLE GIGABYTES!! OMG WHAT ARE WE TO DO??

😆

Nah. It doesn’t say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don’t let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

I’m sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It’s not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don’t pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn’t turn on, it doesn’t hold a charge, keyboard doesn’t work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

Take it to their “genius” bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I’m in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

Why the Apple “genius” didn’t share this option with me? They don’t actually care about helping.

And that’s the rub with Apple. They don’t give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

I hardly use mine. I bring it with me on plane rides but find myself just watching movies instead. Trying to play on a plane and having to share an arm rest, idk it works out better in my head than in practice.

I find I really need to play a game consistently to stay interested, and that makes the deck hard cuz I reserve lighter games for it, like ori, but since I play so infrequently I don’t really end up being interested in the game I startup on there.

OTOH I play PC regularly, no battery concerns, much larger screen, better visual fidelity. The deck just isn’t reinforcing enough.

I’ve had this problem. My solution was when starting a game to play regularly and semi exclusively. I.e. I only have one single player game I’m working on at a time, and I play it multiple times per week to make progress.

And I just keep playing until I beat it. I then may take some time off gaming for a few days or weeks, but will eventually pick up another game and repeat.

This works for me cuz when I don’t play consistently and decide to take, say, a one week break from a game, I find I end up not returning. So it’s crucial to keep revisiting the game and sensing that progress or it feels like it never ends and drags on and on. There’s also things like muscle memory and strategy that if I don’t keep fresh at least a few times per week, it makes returning to the game feel like more work rather than just jumping back in.

I don’t have diagnosed ADHD so it may not apply to you but that’s what worked for me (and continues to work). I’ve played many dozens of games following this system for some years now.

I really wanted to like the first one but felt like the puzzles and movement were so tedious.

To be fair I generally play videogames stoned, which generally I always find enjoyable even on cerebral puzzle games like talos principle. in fact, I like being high cuz it makes it harder.

But senuas first game trying to walk around and match the pattern against the environment was absolutely miserable to do high, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have enjoyed it sober either.

I loved the combat, but that was so infrequent it didn’t keep me engaged. Finally after dying and having to restart and do a puzzle section all over again I said fuck it and uninstalled.

Bloom is more about walking and passively planting flowers to help your Pikmin grow. It doesn’t matter much where you walk although there are some specific objects in the world you can interact with.

Go is more like you have to seek out a pokemon to catch it or go find a gym, and some Pokemon only show up in certain parts of the world. It’s vastly less accessible to people than Pikmin bloom is.

Pikmin bloom was fun! I got to level 41 and moved on cuz if you live in the suburbs like me there aren’t enough flowers to bloom or special mushrooms to battle, so i literally have to walk many thousands of steps or drive somewhere densely populated or spend real money. Its a shame cuz it was fun on the lower levels but plateaued pretty hard for me after level 40.

I’m curious how you’ll like slime rancher 2. I got it in EA some time ago, and it was too similar to the first one for my taste. Wonder if they’ve added more at launch to help set it apart and introduce new ideas.

I got XCOM 2 for $5 on the steam sale. Been playing that for a week straight and really enjoying it.

I enjoyed the first one in a very limited way before getting frustrated and moving on. For XCOM 2 I went in with better expectations and forethought about the strategy being crucial to understand for the harder difficulties to be beatable. So I elected to play on the “veteran” difficulty (one step above the easiest).

It’s definitely still been a bit frustrating at times, and I’ve had to resort to reloading saves more than I’d like to admit, cuz I’m going for a no deaths run. But now that I’ve almost beaten it and understand the ins and outs better, both in the field and in the larger planning room, I feel like I could bump the difficulty up a notch on a fresh playthrough.

It reminds me of playing a game like civilization where the missteps made early on can crush any hopes of survival even with tons of save reloads cheesing the odds.

I’ve been playing on my steam deck hooked up to my TV, and it runs pretty well. Had to tweak some settings but got it running 1920x1080 without any performance issues. Controller support is pretty good although it never recognizes my controller on game startup unless I manually switch input to keyboard and then back to controller.

I also noticed some crashing start occurring on a regular basis whenever loading a save, but restarting the deck resolved it.

Banks have laws and regulations that they must abide by to secure the access to and information of customer accounts. A security team will surely have to sign off on whatever the app developer or customer experience manager wants to implement.

Are they?

So that you can self host I think

I like this approach cuz it plays ball and can be reused for a number of products. Could have an “appliances” network and make a reusable fake “appliances” identity for any device that wants to IoT.

Gaming journalism is dead tho. This is a good example.
