Worst advice. ChatGPT is not meant for this and can doore harm than good.

Yeah maybe, thanks for the tip.

However, I do feel that, being the groundbreaking tech of that era from which all post games practically were derived, I won't have the same "iconic" experience today as I would have had back then. I feel like I just have to live with the fact that I missed it.

That's okay though. Maybe some games today will be the predecessors and iconic titles of times to come ;).

Probably controversial but half life 2 for me. I got it very cheap on a sale after years of hearing how good it was. Just couldn't get into it. Even worse, every time I felt nauseated after a couple of minutes.

I guess this is just an example of a "you had to be there" scenarios. I was there as a gamer at the time but had no funds to play all the games. I skipped on HL 2 and can't get into it 20 years later.

Nothing OS support (lemmy.world)
submitted 11 months ago by StijnVVL@lemmy.world to c/nothing@lemmy.world

Hi all

I found the Nothing Phone 2 in my search for a new device. Since my OnePlus 6 is giving up after 5 years, I'm in need of a new one.

I love everything I see about NP2. There is one thing holding me back: they only offer 3 years of updates and 4 years of security patches...

This is a serious drawback for me because I really don't want to end up with a OnePlus6 scenario as I have today... Compared to the Pixel 8, which is a tad more expensive but offers 7 years of updates, this is a big gap! Even other flagship phones from other companies offer more support than NP2 (Samsung, Oneplus).

This does not fit the sustainability value that Nothing seems to stand for.

Is there any chance that they will extend support for NP2 later? If not, how easy is a Custom ROM after 4 years without breaking anything?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Accelerated Mobile Pages. Basically a sort of fast-load version of your actual page for mobile use. Something Google came up with to enhance mobile search? It never really got off imo...

Hi all

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask. I'm trying here because it involves Belgian banking and identity apps.

Does anybody have experience with LineageOS custom ROM on OnePlus6 and still have their banking apps, Payconiq and Itsme running without issues? I'm considering installing since official OxygenOS support stopped 2 years ago and my phone is starting to have connectivity issues.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers

I have the same feeling. Using a 5+ year old OP6 and still good battery life and overall performance. The only reason why I want change is because of security updates having stopped already for quite some time. I'm hesitant to jailbreak and install clean android because of banking apps.

Troy, a total war saga. This is my first total war experience and I'm having a blast. Still getting to know all the mechanics though

This. Objectively, our species is ruining its own habitat consistently for years. A sentient ai would probably see that and remove the cancer in order to preserve the majority of nature

I thought you meant the taste of roasted beans. Turns out you actually meant coffee. I don't understand why you drink something you hate

Interesting. I found ER way easier than Bloodborne. I played Bloodborne first though and was not yet familiar with the genre as much...

There's a lot of room for improvement in your lighting. An HDRI will help tremendously, but darkening your world and increasing the key lights will get you a long way already.

Keep it up

Why skip far cry 1&2? 1 is a little dated yes but iconic in itself. The setting of far cry 2 is one of the most unique in gaming history and it brought some very interesting mechanics into gaming which were revolutionary for that time.

There might be a lot of nostalgia speaking here though. I had so much fun with both games!
