Pvp games are more likely to leave me feeling angry after a session compared to single player and coop games where I'm more often ending the session happy.

Tim I'm against corporate control blah blah blah.

Great news there is this platform called Linux that could free you from the corporate over reach of Microsoft you could try to push in hopes of the future.

Nah don't see the short term money in it to justify it or to bother investing resources into it.

Dislike it because I forget what happens, but worst of all it hasn't resulted in better follow up seasons to make the wait feel worth it when it comes back and knowing that it'll be another few years before the next season. House of the Dragon has been the last show I got into since the industry shift towards higher production leading to longer gaps.

And it's felt like higher production has led to worse writing because the shows can't afford to progress the story at a decent pace.

If that is enough to turn them away I don't buy them being able to get apks properly.

Well tech illiterate people are the last ones I'd trust to properly side load and doing their due diligence of knowing the source of their apk instead of a random one they found on the web.

Personally when I install F-droid on a new phone I make sure to check the signing keys or at the very least the checksum. As unsafe as Google Play can be I trust tech illiterate people even less of safely getting apks.

Was curious of what the step is and found this video for Samsung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6TMvBQ7Sm0

And for Google Pixel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD9nsSmDG_8

Doesn't seem too different from the old enable unknown apps aside from Samsung requiring an additional step. Unless third party apps get completely blocked having to enable it doesn't seem like a bad thing with how clueless lot of people are about apks and risks associated with them if they didn't get it from a safe source.

Hopefully I'll get to finally play Gears of War 2.

Well I can't do anything because it's EU only. I did do the France thing in the beginning which any person could do, but this is a situation for those outside of the EU only being able to watch.

It was enough to make me too lazy to bother even when the hype was there. Now it seems even the community that plays/played it is negative on it so even less likely to bother with Ubisoft launcher for it than at launch. I have UPlay installed too, but I don't even know if anyone in my friend list from Steam was playing it compared to other games that they are shown playing.

Even general desktop use is much more fluid like the mouse cursor, scrolling, and moving windows. I immediately notice if a monitor is running at 60 hz.

SSD for sure. Even on devices less powerful the general desktop experience is superior on ssd than a more powerful PC. Boot time and programs load up so much faster making the OS feel way snapier instead of a constant wait for even a browser to load.

When I used it the launcher would constantly forget my login. And then for older games like Splinter Cell it asked for a login everytime I launched the game. It was ridiculous.

 

Instead of going to the Android community it goes to /c/all when I try to visit while logged into lemmy.ca. I tried logging out and back in to see if that would solve it.
