I’ve been in that situation. At first it’s kinda nice being able to sleep in without worry for a little bit. But after a while it really starts to drive you crazy just not having anything to do with your time. That restlessness quickly turns into depression.
A big complaint I saw about the live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation for Netflix was that the acting was too cartoony/over-the-top.
Personally, I thought the acting was spot-on for what they were trying to accomplish. It was meant to be a live-action anime, so it was never intended to be 100% tethered to reality to begin with. The characters are meant to be characters, and I thought they did a great job with it. Spike, Faye, and Jet were all perfectly-cast, IMO, and they all felt like their original characters felt from the animated series. There are so many times where you can just close your eyes and listen to them talk to each other, and it feels exactly like it felt watching the anime on Adult Swim back in the early 2000s as a kid.
I honestly loved the live-action adaptation and thought it was amazing. I’m still immensely disappointed that the reception was so poor that Netflix decided to cancel it halfway through the story. There are so many characters I wanted to see that didn’t appear until later in the original series. I would’ve loved to see a live-action Toys In The Attic or Heavy Metal Queen.
I had a 2006 Ford Taurus that would’ve been stronger if it was built with Legos. Water pump fell off one day - like… just… fell off. The brackets weren’t broken or misshapen or anything like that, it just fell. None of the bolts were loose or unthreaded or anything. I know that doesn’t make sense. I KNOW. It makes even less sense that it happened twice.
There was also some kind of electrical issue that I could never isolate, but it was causing fuses to blow out every couple months, and would burn out the starter about once a year. I had to replace that starter so many times that I stopped needing to refer to my Chilton book for the steps. Sometimes the power steering would just stop working and then start working again with no warning.
I haven’t actually played any of the Far Cry games, so I couldn’t speak to that. But if they play anything like Cyberpunk, I might have to give them a shot!
I love Celeste so much, the writing was way better than I anticipated a platformer game to have.
I also love some of the easter eggs they put in, like the white block in one of the earlier stages, where you will fall “behind” the block if you crouch on it for a few seconds; a nod to hidden mechanic in Super Mario Bros 3.
Cyberpunk 2077. I’ve been known to simp pretty hard for this game, but I do consider it to be one of the best games ever made. The story, the music, the acting, the gameplay, the visuals… Every single part of the game is just masterfully done. I feel it’s one of those games that everybody should play; a sort of “milestone” game like Ocarina of Time or Skyrim. Even if you’re not a fan of FPS or RPGs, it’s worth turning down the difficulty and playing just to experience the best story ever told through a video game, in my opinion.
I’ve only been to one once, but it was fun! It’s not the best experience for actually watching the movie, but there’s a slight party vibe that’s very energetic. I wish they’d make a comeback.
I’m with you on that. The combination of inflation and working from home for the last few years have made me borderline agoraphobic at this point. I think I’ve had in-person interactions with fewer than 15 people in the last year. It’s just too expensive to do anything these days.
It’s probably not great for our mental health.
I really wish we had more restaurants like Sonic. Not taste-wise, their food is awful. But I like the drive-in experience.
“Always” is a bit of a stretch, IMO. It’s only been within about the last decade or so that we’ve had a 100% accurate SNES emulator. To the best of my knowledge, we still don’t have 100% accurate emulation for any 5th-gen consoles or later.
I use an animation from this live wallpaper app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.at2_software.terracollageapp&hl=en_US
I believe it was just a one-time purchase for the full version of the app. The animations don’t loop very well, but I’m not staring at my home screen long enough to see the loop that often, so it’s not a big concern to me. They’re pretty much all swirly, inky, starry sort of abstract animations, but there’s a lot of color options so it’s pretty easy to pick something that fits well with the rest of your phone’s theme.
The developer hasn’t updated it for over a year now, so if the previews don’t look like something you’d like, I wouldn’t bother buying the full version since it’s unlikely that any more will be added.
Ah, bummer! Yeah, having to do that manually is super annoying.
If it’s an Android Wear watch, they’ve recently added an option in the Watch app settings that makes it easier to transfer your watch to another device without having to go through the entire setup process. But it’s still locked to being paired to one phone at a time, as far as I can tell.
Open it up without shaking it up or jostling it too much. Is it still powdery all the way through? If so, it’s probably safe.
If you open it up and the mix has any clumps or inconsistent coloring, toss it in the trash because it’s likely been exposed to moisture, which invites a ton of potential problems.
Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, but I have made some questionable decisions with old tubs of G Fuel mix and came out alive, so I’m not just making things up but I’m also not somebody you should trust your health with. Be responsible.
Sounds like the app developer does not want to support you as a user. You should take it up with devs that do this if that’s a concern.
Well then you know where to install it from.
Cool, sounds like it ain’t a problem for you then. As I imagine it’s not a problem for most people.
Why should I know? I’m not a McDeveloper.
If I had to guess, I’d assume it’s because there’s a payment system in their app and they don’t want people monkeying around with it and stealing food.
Why would I explain something that has nothing to do with this discussion? This has nothing to do with rooted devices.
Just 11 for me, all spambots. Luckily, I’ve not had many problems with real people around here.
