• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a witeless magnetic battery recently, and what quickly turned me off was that it charges at ~2/3rd efficiency and speed than its wired mode. Also heats up my phone battery way more, so I just snap it to my phone and use the short and unobtrusive usb-c cable to charge it instead.

  Now, if I was changing phones every year or two and I didn’t care about keeping its battery life - sure, I’d use the wireless charging without worries, although it will still be slightly slower than wired (but still fast charging anyway).

  It may have not caused that much panic, but Amplitude consistently put out interesting ideas and enhancements to the Civ-likes in their games, so no wonder Firaxis might use these as templates and negate any unique features their competition might have over them. Plus, the Civ genre has to move in some way, anyway.

  Oops, you’re right, corrected.

  Or the 1996 Colonization?

  Haven’t played Humankind, but Amplitude’s previous Civ-like “Endless Legend” was amazing and very fresh take on the genre. And it looked like Firaxis were already trying to copy some of it in Civ 6, so I’m not surprised if this trend continues.

  Good luck doing that to my 2012 5th gen Kindle that’s been off update schedule for an eternity.

  I generally don’t pre-order, probably won’t this time too as release has creeped so close. But definitely buying it full price, just waiting for some day-1 reviews to check if it needs patches or not. I love the STALKER series, played them all and I definitely feel I own GSC some more money for the FPSs I’ve most enjoyed in the last 20 years or so.
