  • I'm responding to a comment assuming it'll be nothing but a "pay to win" game, despite any real evidence of that - I'm pointing out the expectations of GTA VI.

    This sub is like Reddit on steroids. Just a bunch of contrarian kids trying to start arguments on the internet. Bizarre.

  • It's certainly going to be interesting how this game is received. Rockstar is one of those studios that burns all its goodwill with things like Online, the "Definitive" editions, RDR2 Online closing early, yet despite that it's the largest studio with one of the largest, most successful franchises.

    With the industry being so dire right now, where only huge behemoths like rockstar, or tiny efficient indie studios, can really compete, the outcome of GTA 6 might be quite consequential for the industry.

  • Huh? For £70 I'm getting -

    • Huge open world
    • Very fun and emergent gameplay
    • Likely a world with multiple competing systems and subsystems to play with
    • Incredibly detailed world to get lost and immersed in
    • Given the RDR2 writing, likely a really well written story

    But you've decided to latch onto one aspect of the previous game (the Online mode) to try to be as contrarian as possible?

    I sure as heck will pay £70 for the above. And so will many millions of others. Sorry if that does a poo on your hate-train.

  • Are you seriously questioning whether there is any hype for GTA?

    GTAV Online may have hindered Rockstar's goodwill for fans of the single player mode, but the Online mode rakes in cash.

    RDR2 released in 2018 and is widely considered one of the best single player games with one of the best open worlds, strongly signalling to fans that Rockstar hasn't lost its mojo.

    GTA VI is, unquestionably, the most anticipated game of the year. To suggest otherwise is to be insanely disingenuous on your part.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the screen brightness to oscillate between an app-specified brightness setting and the automatic, system-specified or user-specified brightness settings.

    This bug appeared in the stable March update on my Pixel 7. I assume we're expected to wait until the April update for this fix?

    Google Pixel 10/10 Pro/10 Pro XL Design Leaks

    cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/19322727

    Looks like the designs of the Pixel 10 series has leaked. Pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series, unsurprisingly.

    The new Debian VM on Android 15 - what use-cases are there?

    The latest version of Android 15 on the Pixel devices lets you enable an experimental Terminal app and Debian VM. What are the fun use-cases of this, that you can think of? Let's assume the finalised version of this feature will include the ability for sound drivers and proper port mapping/forwarding.

    • Running web servers off your phone might become feasible
    • Basic light development work
    • Use to easily SSH to other clients if needed
    • Already proven it can run DOOM

    There's bound to be many more use-cases as this feature expands, and especially when Android replaces ChromeOS in the future.

    WhatsApp UI has updated for me (Version 2.24.8.85)

    I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.

    (Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)
