I love it, it’s a nice bit of kit, and the few gimmicks it has are useful: scheduled charging for better battery life, digital well being stuff to stop me being glued to my phone.
Battery would be a problem for a super power user, but lasts me all day with commuting, reading the web etc. Camera is not on a par with flagships but I rarely take pictures.
Prior to this I had a Huawei until the battery died on me. I upgrade when I have to, I hate consumer upgrade cycles.
I have zero android ecosystem products.
I’m Android/Linux all the way unless work force me to use a Mac, which happens periodically, as part of the great cycle of life.
Just for fun I asked gpt-4 what the most British thing is, I then asked it to make a prompt for midjourney. Here is the result. (Don’t question the alien hand)
Yeah it’s pretty great, really smooth. I guess that’s part of the experience. I’ve just been enjoying it, without realizing that it may be adding to the experience.
RedHat here in the late 90s, back when you could still find yourself writing a “modeline.”
Then Debian in the early 00s when apt was still a major discriminator. Finally, Ubuntu around 2008 just so I was running the same thing I was recommending to family members for ease of use. (At the time, Ubuntu sported the same ease of installation and hardware detection I’d found with Knoppix.)
Now on Xubuntu, but seriously eyeing a return to Debian.
RedHat in the mid-late 90s here too. It wasn’t a great time for the linux desktop haha. I think I used afterstep or windowmaker back then. RPM hell was bad and hosed my system enough that Debian was like a savior with apt-get. Never really looked back from debian based systems since.
I just came back from a long hiatus a month or so back, and also quit around the same time you did, so I feel your pain. This might not be 100% accurate, but this is how I see the various open world grinds from my own experience:
EARTH:
OSTRON: Obsolete for the most part, unless you really want a Zaw. Grinding this will give you baits to get fish that some later recipes need, but for the most part you’re here for parts for a modular melee weapon called a Zaw. These used to be top of the line, but now are just pretty good.
QUILLS: Mostly obsolete. Not sure how far along you are in the quests, but The War Within will net you a new equipment slot for a modular weapon called an Amp. The default amp is hilarious garbage, and makes certain quests paaaaaainful to complete. However, the first rank of the Quills will net you the parts to make an amp good enough to deal with end game content so build that ASAP. Beyond that first rank though, a later Syndicate will give you better amp parts.
VENUS:
SOLARIS UNITED: Gives you parts to make modular primary and secondary weapons called Kitguns, as well as modular Moa companions. Neither is top of the line anymore, but kitguns at least are still a solid A tier in endgame content. You also need to grind this to max to open up Vox Solaris, so might as well!
VOX SOLARIS: Better amp parts. Still haven’t started this grind yet myself, but that’s basically it.
DEIMOS:
ENTRATI: Gives you more Kitgun parts, infested companions, and some good endgame weapons. Vulpaphylas (Infested kavats) are currently the meta, as their special ability is to self resurrect infinitely. Also gives you access to the Helminth halfway through, which allows you grind up old warframes into upgrade materials. Hope you haven’t deleted too many to save slots! You’ll naturally also grind rep while grinding for your first Necromech, which you’ll need to unlock the last chunk of the game.
NECROLOID: Alternative necromech parts and guns. The default setup is really good, so I haven’t felt the need to grind this at all, but you do you.
DUVIRI: High end melee weapons, and Incarnon Adapters, which are upgrade packs for older, powercrept guns (Soma Prime, my beloved…). Incarnon-upgraded weapons are currently top tier, but to use them you need access to the final locked solar system zone, which is again locked behind having a Necromech.
[ZONE NAME REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]
HOLDFASTS: Top tier weapons and arcanes. All but mandatory once you have access, but very quick to grind.
While the Ostron standing seems mostly obsolete, you’re going to need Rank 4 gem blueprints from Old Man Suumbaat to build amps and other things (Rank 5, he’s basically just cosmetics.)
Hi, just as a warning to others, that link made Jerboa crash for me. Likely a Jerboa issue and not something wrong with the link itself, but wanted to share.
The one in the OP works for me, but it opens in a browser not Jerboa.
beehaw would be the perfect place for it, but they’re not gonna create communities until July. May be I can try lemmy.ml. I wanted to be here because it seems to be the best of both worlds (lemmy’s anarchism vs beehaw’s restrictions).
Sorry off topic, but any chance you could explain to me what’s the difference between up and down voting here Vs. karma? Are they not all just fake internet points?
Karma is the total upvotes - downvotes across all posts made by an account on reddit; on the fediverse there is only upvotes (likes or boosts depending on implementation) and downvotes (dislikes) per post. Theoretically you could calculate it for your account, but because you cant display it anywhere (and it isnt used for anything) it wouldnt be of much use.
RDR2 suffers heavily from the same problem as GTAV’s single player mode: it’s a movie posing as a video game and both aspects suffer for it.
RDR2 would have been great if it was just the part where you wander around tracking critters and collecting flowers and playing cowboy dress-up, but the game really doesn’t want you to do that. Not to belabor the point, but between how unpredictable the connection between “interact with item/character X” and “start mission with character Y” can be and the game’s tendency to fail missions the second you go off-script, RDR2 often felt like it was directed by someone who actively resented the concept of player agency.
You articulated my issue with it perfectly. In theory it was this amazing open world with tons of player freedom, but the minute you engage with the actual story at all you have no choice in anything. There was one quest where I HAD to rescue Micah and kill a butt load of people which really annoyed me given I was going for a white hat run.
Yeah, however after it is searched it should work, the 404 problem might happen sometimes since all these communities are new and might not be connected with all instances yet
