I think sometwo could learn to be a little less sensitive about made up numbers on a social media site 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had a Pixel 3 before the 7, and basically just Nexus phones before that. Sounds like maybe I’m just used to this particular shortcoming of Google’s hardware! 😅

I have a Pixel 7 and haven’t really ever noticed issues with my modem. Has it gotten noticeably worse in later models or something?

Good job it’s an option then, huh

Good for you! For GTA VI, I definitely wanna play it as quickly as possible and £70 is a pretty reasonable price for that.

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.

The article you’re commenting on is literally about the game’s unsustainable hype and its impact on the industry.

It won Most Anticipated at TGA.

This is far from my favourite series, just enjoy shining a light on insane takes on Lemmy!

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.

Weird vibes in this comment section.

Well since you’re posting “they want $100 for this” so matter-of-factly, you seem to believe that you can predict the future, Andy.

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.

I just don’t have the patience to wait even more. I have a PS5, so why wouldn’t I play it on release??

Premature birth induced by the high stress situation?

Works for me! Obviously the real explanation is the writers wanted an efficient way to tie the Nero story into Kirk’s story within the movie’s restricted runtime - I think they handled it well enough.

Yet the Kelvin timeline (Star Trek 2009) suggested he was born in the aftermath of Nero arriving in the past.

If he was canonically born in Iowa on Earth in TOS, does that mean the Kelvin timeline actually splits much earlier than Nero’s arrival?

Are you in a warm country? My Pixel 7 never overheats. It’s gotten warm before, sure, but never overheated.

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?

This. An easy one-handed phone that I can flip or unfold into a larger screen for media/games/extra-curricular. Can’t wait for this inevitable future.

Love their docs. The one about Outer Wilds is a real treat.
