Pokey succulent
I would absolutely choose this mode without any shame. I already spend plenty of time in “Story Mode” difficulty; I don’t care to spend hours of frustration trying to hit just the right dodge pattern for a boss because I no longer have the finger dexterity that I did when I was 20.
I’ve been using it for the last day or so on a separate account and I like it so far. It’s a new app and there’s plenty of stuff planned for it, but the ability to open comments in a separate column instead of another tab is fantastic. There’s already a request for light mode in the repo, which is my biggest issue right now.
Who wouldn’t trust that (obviously-not-a-robot-in-disguise) smiling face? 😅
That is completely accurate and logical representation of the article after it’s had the heart ripped out KALIMAAA-style and been lowered into a pit.
I beat my head against Hollow Knight when it was released and set it aside after a while. I recently went back and somehow was able to get through it (I’m convinced they made it easier vs me getting better).
Make sure to explore and find all the story and world building tidbits. It’s definitely worth digging into, and I love some of the little side stories and character interactions as you go deeper into Hollownest.
I finished a playthrough of the legendary edition of the trilogy earlier this year. Still great and after all the time that’s passed since the original ME3 release I can almost accept the ending(s).
Grinding through nightmare dungeons in Diablo 4, and because I fell down a YouTube tutorial hole I’m retrying Frostpunk. Hopefully I can stave off the guilt from slapping makeshift prosthetics on orphans long enough to finish it this time.
I’m really excited for the first season, especially that they’ll start us with the altars and map cleared. That’s always annoying to do on a new playthrough. Now I just need to get my current character to tier 3 and finish hunting down the rest of the altars.
What I find irritating is seeing the long-form video channels that I watch repeatedly pushing new shorts videos to keep up with the algorithm and draw traffic, but because they don’t do a lot of quick daily vids they break up old videos into multiple shorts. So now my feed is full of snippets of videos from months ago, and it makes it harder to know when there’s actual new content to see.
I have noticed that when I go back to the main feed that the specific position on the page might be a post or two above or below the one that I was viewing, but I haven’t experienced anything like the page not showing the post I was reading at all, or the entire feed resetting.
What behavior are you seeing?
I’m running Android 13, so it might be an issue with other Android versions or iOS.
This is good advice if your phone is actively being hacked in real time when you turn it off. Otherwise all you’re doing is delaying or temporarily interrupting any data collection that’s going on in the background. Any apps that are sophisticated enough to run undetected by a normal user are also going to restart themselves as soon as the phone boots up again.
Also, if you are being targeted by a hacker that is knowledgeable enough to actively get into your device (especially an iPhone) without physical access then you’re better off destroying it and buying a new one, along with doing a full reset of all of your passwords, 2FA setup, and anything else you think you’re relying on for “security”.
I’m trying out Jerboa but also definitely prefer the current web interface as a PWA on Android. I’d rather have just a great responsive mobile and desktop web interface as my main way to use Lemmy.
I think that we get too used to relying on mobile apps because the corpo sites don’t care about doing anything beyond the bare minimum cookie-cutter UI to get users, and so we rely on this party apps to actually provide useful features.
I’m hoping that the fediverse can bring out a lot of interesting and useful web design options, for Lemmy and Mastodon and the other federated tools. Having something that is open and beautiful (and functional) should be a part of the plans for increasing adoption and drawing in more people to the community.
After seeing the headlines about “Starfield will be the least buggy Bethesda game ever at launch” I’m fully prepared for a janky mess. That being said I will forgive a lot of gameplay issues if it has a good story.
Currently have Cult of the Lamb on hold, and I also need to get back into No Man’s Sky and check out the new content.
Also salivating over Starfield videos 😁
I gave it up after a couple of weeks. I could see it being kind of fun in a group but none of my friends were playing it.
Your ISP controls what ports you can access using one or more firewalls and traffic control devices somewhere past the point where you connect to their network.
They can block whatever ports they want. The only way around this is to use a VPN, which creates a tunnel directly from your device to a remote server to route traffic. This still goes through your ISP and whatever firewall they have but does so over a port that they (probably) don’t block. They can’t see what ports your web or network requests are using so they can’t block it directly.
Depending on your technical know how and what type of router you have, you could set up a VPN at the device level (PC, phone, etc.) to send just requests from that device or at the router level which could send all traffic from your network through the VPN.
It’s important to remember when using a VPN that the VPN servers can still see (and potentially log) all of your traffic, even if your ISP cannot. You still need to find a VPN service that you trust to not monitor your traffic.
