This 100℅ I even bought a ps4 to play it. It was a really dull game and the character movement felt clunky. I finished it too, but I do not care to play it again.

Ff8 was dope though.


I played it at launch and don’t think in had a single crash. Possibly 1, but I can’t remember.

I had at most 2 bugs where I needed to restart the game.

I’m sure things have only gotten better.


People have been telling you to game on PC for a while now.

Its pretty much plug and play these days.




So you like $200-150 for a working system. Then the steam deck is like hey im $400 and way more capable.



Nevermind, I see that there is an s10e. I’ll compare those two phones to see if the 10e is worth the extra $20.


Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I do not mind running stock Android, but I would prefer something less bloated. It looks like the s9 is about $70 here, but the s10 is $150-200. Why would that one be so much more expensive?


I’m really just looking to spend around $100 on an android.

Where I live the 4a is like $140 used.

I was hoping that GrapheneOS would have longer security updates for the phones.

Maybe you would not know, but do you have any android models you would recommend? I’ll mostly just use it for streaming and a few apps that are not in the US App Store.


So, I’ve been using an Oppo f7 as I live between two counties and need apps that are exclusive to one country or another.

It’s dumb, but that’s how it is.

Anyway, the oppo f7 is kind of dated and the touch screen is hyper sensitive. I’m only really watching Disney plus on it or occasionally using it for Lemmy or mastodon.

I was thinking about getting a google pixel used for this purpose and putting GrapheneOS on there. I don’t want to spend a lot though. So, how far back would you go? Is a 4a going to be too old and run down?


Thanks for the heads up🙏🙏

I’m really interested in android, but all the google services are kind of a turn off. I only really use YouTube, but not even the official way.


Thanks for this link. All my US banks are on there. Although it’s not really a bank, but PayPal is not listed. Does anyone have experience with this or with banks in the Philippines?



I agree that game sizes are pretty ridiculous these days. This and Baldurs Gate 3 will take up the entirety of my only space ssd. Sadly prices where I live are still decently high.

I’m sure things could be done to optimize the size. With the BTRFS filesystem, you can have things autocompress in a transparent way. So, I installed like 600gb of games, but it only took up 450gb of space because of filesystem compression. Additionally, files load like they are just a normal file.

I wonder how much space would be saved by installing this game to that filesystem.



That’s a great point. I wonder if people would buy it and use it without really noticing or if they would be upset because it’s not windows or whatever.


Windows has been a pretty garbage os for years. Linux is so much better in many ways. The only thing windows has is a few applications that have yet to release a Linux version.

If we could get office, Adobe, and autocad on Linux, we could see droves of people switch.

Gaming is basically all set on Linux at this point. Just a few games that have not setup to work due to anti-cheat, but screw it. I don’t need them.




What is a good 2 player Tetris these days?
My wife just got into Tetris and wants to play together. I have been bragging to her about how good I am at Tetris and now she wants to play together We would like to play side by side on the TV, but we do not want any of that stuff where if person A does well, then person B gets random blocks. Does something like this exist? We could play on PC or on Switch.

Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much.
I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle. I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon. Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?
