Do you use it on a Pixel? Last I read, that's the only officially supported phone. It feels ironic giving Google money for a phone so you can use deGoogle more.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, I just wish it supported more devices.

Since when did the Blue Screen concept change from being an actual error screen to simply the Windows update screen?

I'm guessing shortly after Windows began implementing aforementioned update screen?

This is the first I've heard it referred to as the Blue Screen.

For reference: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death

At this point, it's sounding more and more like a social experiment.

Dude, same. I almost wanted to stop reading there.

They'd say the same thing if they interviewed her 3 years ago.

No. The game is paid. It should come with all available settings. This is just one step away from studios hiding HD textures behind paywalls.

And this line of thinking is what let's them get away with it.

lazy cash grab

This seems quite reductive for what appears to have happened. Spending hundreds of millions of dollars over an 8 year development period is anything but lazy. Cash grab, maybe, but so incredibly ambitious.

Plus it wasn't the dev's decision to not "give the game time to [improve]."

Sony pulled the plug when they realized they were bleeding money out of the ears offers server time for a handful of people.

They're biggest problem was the complete lack of advertisement. I might have heard of it once some few months before release and then silence, as if they thought they were keeping hype up for the next installment in an already established series that everyone was expecting.

The other big problem was the genericness of it, bringing nothing new than slight variations on characters, abilities, etc. into an already oversaturated genre.

This whole thing has been like Sony throwing their kid, that looks like every other kid, into a crowded public pool with no assistance and wondering why they drowned, acting like it's everyone else's fault.

I downloaded it but I'll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn't able to do.

I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it's called) at the bottom of the screen.

It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn't work.

I'm still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can't use it yet.

Edit: looks like it's already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.

Maybe it was a rebill kind of thing he setup. Hush money on subscription.

Yeah, I don't know if it was dyslexia but I initially read "I don't care about little kids dying"...

Surely that must mean they don't need to raise their prices anymore, right?

Right?

That's how I was originally introduced to him, and then again later on Critical Role.
