The Burritans are not a fan of people using the word outside the region.

Completely forgot Threads was even a thing.

I’m looking forward to this. I’m like Jony Ive’s design thinking. I think he brings a non tech way of thinking about tech into design that feels so approachable.

Why put the pressure on even selling it as a new product. Should’ve just pulled a 14s. Exact same but with usbc and made bank for another year.

All studios had to do was follow the path of music streaming. It’s practically rid of piracy on a mass market because most streaming service has practically the same content. So it’s a matter of user experience they’re competing with, not the content they host.

I hit my limit with hope much I’m willing to pay for a phone. Unless my contracting work needs the best phone I’ll be capping myself at a price by getting not the latest phone.

This isn’t talked about enough. Apple at least for now support more older models than most if not all androids. The key is not to buy into the marketing. Phones today are good enough and mature enough to not need to be at the bleeding edge every other year. Just get a new case, new wallpaper and swap the battery before deciding a new phone.

Honestly if you care about camera improvements, get a second hand semi decent mirrorless or point and shoot camera. Way more fun. And easy replaceable battery and storage.

In the winter months a shower every night. Sometimes I skip a night if I’m lazy or I’ve stayed home all day.

In the summer I will maybe take 2-3. One is a proper shower. The two or three are quick 20 second cold water rinse to cool myself down. Helps to have one right before bed on a hot night.

Exactly. Assuming people interested in this are guys. Dating apps are a women’s market and that’s just facts. Because of such their profile can be completely trash and they’ll get matches.

For guys you need to put the work in. I met my wife on tinder (ages ago before paid tier even was introduced). It was after a lot of trial and error on the app.

Your profile needs to show who you are in the best light, and really importantly to show you’re not dangerous

Honestly like no amount of money will change the results if your dating profile is shit.

If you’re a whale willing to spend 500 on tinder, spend it on marketing yourself. New photos, personal trainer, hobbies and seriously important - new clothes that fit you.

Lot of single people I meet always say “I don’t want to change who I am”. Changing the way you look and feel isn’t changing who you are. Unless you’re actually as shallow as your outfit. It’s not lame to see what the trends are and even ask a salesperson of the opposite sex for advice. Putting yourself out there is all aspects of such.

Present your best self. Because that’s all a person swiping can judge you on. That 5 seconds.

At least when Jobs was being a tyrant there was proper innovation. Really try and remember the shit they put out at his prime. Shit was timeless. And all still had acceptable pricing relatively speaking.

With Apple it’s all or nothing. When you’re in the ecosystem everything works and works well. When it’s one device that needs to be its own ecosystem. That’s just the way they’re designed. Some aren’t happy about it. Some are. There was clearly a market gap for users wanting this kind of simplicity.

A home solution for file transfers between Apple and non Apple for me is a local nas.

I can see Microsoft being even more aggressive with beating features into you with windows. Best steer clear if possible

While I personally wouldn’t repair my own iPhone. If I need it done I would want to go to an Apple Store anyway. This makes selling on your phone for other people to fix and use and sell on and use again virtually impossible, which would’ve been more sustainable than just binning the phone.

It’s especially shitty since they also announced net zero plans. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

That’s utterly diabolical if that was the intention

I’m thinking about the movie going decision and why “scary” movies make money regardless of quality. They might not be good movies. But advertised scary movie means “hey let’s all go see it” to experience the scares together for fun. Whereas this decision to see something they don’t know for the thrill wouldn’t happen as much or at all with other genres.

On your comment I also do think some filmmakers might miss the point on what makes good scary like what you talked about.

I’m not a horror/thriller fan. I do see why it’s an easy churn and burn genre though. Lot of these don’t have to be good to make a profit. Cheap to make and it’s a good group experience. Just have to give audience a good cinema experience to justify ticket purchase.

I’ve commented more here in this short time than my 10 years on reddit. I feel heard and I feel supported. Most people are civil and respectful and I really appreciate it. Thank you all.

I ended up with a net positive with this game. There’s elements of the story, characters, gameplay and world I love. But certain aspects had execution and pacing problems. Someone mentioned if the story was a novel this would be an amazing read and I absolutely feel it

All the ingredients are there. It was limited by the execution of the game. I personally feel it would’ve been better as an old school pixel rpg.

That all being said. Loved the talent performance, emotional journey, ending etc.
