Kind of same, I remember making a login like dropping my bags in an empty apartment like “well this is home now” and my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars. Wondering if I could hack it here. Just said fuck it we ball and started posting to try and decorate the place, hoping to be part of the Lemmy that made a difference and gets us noticed among the turmoil.
Seems like we didnt quite make it compared to BlueSky as a reddit/Twitter supplanted, but thats ok, I think in retrospect I’ve made a fair number of people happy to see my posts, and hope I have at least helped a couple of (mostly) meme communities get either noticed or traction. (Sorry jojokes, I just ran out guys, I didnt want to dig into low effort to keep posting, people deserve some standard of quality)

Save state games do, but idk the word - “continuation based checkpoint” games often do not load the last “save”. Gta online used to be like this and you actually used up healing snacks and armor midmission, making heists a slog if you died and used them all up. Now it loads the state and you get those back when you die.

A trend that really took off is allowing games to remember I used consumables when reloading a save after you fail a mission. This conditions you to worry you might hit a hard spot and use all your consumables, and still lose, and be out all the money/time it took to get them.
Games used to just reload a savestate so if you died and had to load a checkpoint you “didnt use” those consumables. Games with this type of system I am far more willing to use a Lockpick+10 for 60 seconds because I know if I get boobytrap-jumpscared by a shotgun, Im not out that boost and can try again.

- Comment on $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen" 3 weeks ago:
If I recall the feud correctly, Eddings previously worked on Claptrap as a favor for free (or next to it). As far as the back and forth on Twitter indicates, when he said he wanted “Id like to be paid this time”, Pitchford initially pushed back, and then offered “2x union rates” (whether Pitchford actually offered that or said it on twitter afterward to garner sympathy we may never know), but Eddings refused the offer since gearbox was (at the time) about to make its 3rd lootershooter in a monsterously successful chain and he was pne of the most prominent side characters.
Jim sterling has almost an hour or more worth of videos (a 30m and a few 5-7m) I can link specifically about Pitchford. Working for Destructoid at the time of Colonial Marines, they held an interview with Pitchford who lied to their face about features of the game, and so made it a personal mission to keep Randy accountable.
Pitchford must have had an issue with Destructoid running him through the gutter for Colonial Marines, and the Borderlands 2 mission BFFs features 4 characters in a Mexican standoff for stealing money. (What an oddly on the nose mission eh?) All 4 have names of Destructoid staff, with the thief being named “Jim” - but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence and not a ceo being petty right.
Bro is a blight on Gearbox. And Noone is sure how or why the board hasn’t gotten rid of him.

I’m not gonna sit and tell a man he can’t have a kink preference in his own home on his own time.
But Jesus fuck on the company thumb drive? Theyre $12 for a 128Gb one on Amazon. And then to be so distracted he forgot it.

Randy pitchford?
THAT Randy Pitchford? The Randy Pitchford that, because he loves magic tricks, downloaded himself some squirt porn (sfw youtube link to moistcritical) and then left it at a Midieval Times? The same Randy that grabbed the Claptrap VA by the junk because he was tired of voicing Claptrap for free and had the audacity to ask to be paid so Pitchford tried to intimidate him? The same Randy Pitchford that somehow “lost” “lost” 10 million dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb.
Fuck that guy.

- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 5 weeks ago:
I hate the battery not looking like a battery. Minor complaint tbh, I dislike it but I might come to like it.
Notifications now stop at 3. Why. Why the fuck. I moderate discord and modmail pings me 17 times an hour. I want to see that I have a text in Notifs, and now it just shows 3 discord icons when opened - I have to open the full tray. Negative user experience item
The split trays was fucking stupid. I have a fold and I STILL hate it. Fixed it in settings. Negative user experience to have forced it rather than asking. Moderate item since you can reverse it.
Adding 6 “quick items” at the top of the Tray is nice, since they fucked with the tray. It’s like…“we know we made the ui worse so here have quick access to 6 items you actually wanted as an I’m sorry present” The whole Tray is very iPhone. I did not pay for a Samsung to get an iPhone. People are welcome to like them, I’m not here to hate. But I specifically bought a Samsung phone with Samsung styled ui - if I wanted this feel id have gotten an iPhone.
Spotify now has like this…loading screen? It tells me when i have no service and won’t even open the app if I’ve lost internet (data off and walk too far from wifi) Difficult to see the upside to this “live status”. Minor poor user experience.
Google assistant has been removed from the bottom left swipe. Holy shit i hated that move. Why the fuck was it in the bottom left in the first place. Even worse, now it’s fucking Gemeni. Ai is actually ass. Turned it off and disabled it. Disabled the tile in my apps. Putting AI on my phone is a hard negative especially with the next item
Google assistant now no longer works. It just makes Google searches. I now no longer have a hands free way to tell my phone to “call (contact)”. Gemini did not recognise this command and is part of why I disabled and removed it. Now GA doesn’t either - continuing the trend of making GA more and more useless. This is such a hard negative actually has me considering turning Bixby on. Using the full phone book when I used to be able to tell my phone to call people is such a shit maneuver. Very, very poor user experience.
App drawers looks clean. Looks smooth. Reorganization is fine. Positive user experience.
They changed something about Home Screens but I dont know what. I feel like they shrank the icons? Gave me an extra row? Something. Feels off now. Somewhat poor user experience because the user is left feeling paranoid about what did or did not actually change.
voice-to-text was removed from the keyboard and then hidden and moved to the bottom left last. You know, the same spot Google assistant was also placed last update. Actual dogshit user experience hiding the VTT and making me dig through the internet to put it back. The fuck was this choice.
Overall negative and has me rethinking keeping with the Fold line given their price. If anyone has a Launcher to fix some of these issues or to restore voice text making calls, I’d appreciate it.
