Comment on Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions? in ~games
Reid_Hershel LinkThat's pretty good! Whenever I play 20 questions with someone we always have to say 'kiiinda?'. I feel like it could use a maybe option, but then that might be more confusing to an AI. It...That's pretty good! Whenever I play 20 questions with someone we always have to say 'kiiinda?'. I feel like it could use a maybe option, but then that might be more confusing to an AI. It responded 'yes' to 'Can you cook rice in it?' (Microwave was the answer). Which like...yeah but not really. Was still fun!

The fold in the middle doesn't really bother me and when I'm engrossed in something on the screen I don't really see it. The best use for the bigger screen imo is running two apps at once. When I'm writing something in one app and referencing back to another it is insanely useful and you can resize either app pretty much however you want, have em side-by-side or on top of each other too.
My biggest concern was about the screen breaking/debris getting in the hinge but it hasn't been a problem yet and there's kind of a gap when you fold the main screen so a grain of sand isn't going to crack it unless you're super unlucky somehow.
I've just got a light case around the outside - there were ones that include a stylus or a stand but the extra bulk wasn't worth it to me. I'm not a photographer but the camera quality is pretty good to me, maybe not as good as my old Pixel but I can barely tell the difference. Battery life is decent, some few apps require you to restart them if you unfold or fold the phone (I think the only one I've come across is a banking app).
For me it's totally worth it and I think the technology advance enough to where it's worth investing in if you think it's gonna be specifically useful to you.

Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games
Reid_Hershel LinkLies of P. Been enjoying it a ton, definitely not quite as polished with the mechanics as From's games but super into the world and they have some really cool stuff you can do with modular weapons.Lies of P.

Comment on What game mechanic or boss could you just not overcome? in ~games

A few of his attacks become windows though when you realize which ones you can strafe around and cause him to miss. Elden Beast is super annoying and can decide to take a ton of time depending on when he decides to fly away. Some of his windows (like the fire breath) are crazy long windows to get charged R2s off if you stand far away enough from the attack. Elden Stars is straight BS though.

As a user pastatool is also very useful. He's trying to move it over to jellyfin because Plex does have a bit of glitchiness (for me there's almost none on smart TV, some on desktop and most on mobile).

Reid_Hershel LinkI do not have the tech smarts/patience to solve ARGs. Closest thing is helping scrape data for WoW secrets which is fun and I love watching people solve ARGs afterwards (Oxenfree was so hype).I do not have the tech smarts/patience to solve ARGs.

Comment on In the market for new bluetooth headphones, suggestions? in ~tech
Reid_Hershel Link ParentYep, can recommend these ones too. Personally don't have the discomfort, I'd guess my only gripe is the range at which bluetooth gets spotty but I doubt that's specific to these headphones. I also...Yep, can recommend these ones too. Personally don't have the discomfort, I'd guess my only gripe is the range at which bluetooth gets spotty but I doubt that's specific to these headphones. I also have a pair of Jaybird Tarah in-earphones for in the shower or if I don't wanna bring my headphones anywhere.

Been watching Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 with a friend and damn, I'm really enjoying it. Animation is super good, love the fight scenes and the power interactions are interesting.
