    Games do use smaller textures for smaller objects. “4k texture” has little to no meaning.

    What would be nice is if high res textures were optional and it downloaded assets in order so you could start playing the tutorial without waiting for everything to be downloaded (like origin)







  • “Can’t live without” is an overstatement, but here are mine:

    • Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher’s local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.

    • Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I’d like but at least it’s not Elisa.

    • Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.






  • These are more like last 2 week but anyways:

    • Finished Agent A after a year of hiatus.
    • Got hdr to work in Dark Souls 2 with the graphics overhaul mod and finished getting the 4 big Souls.
    • Got tired of the difficulty of Dark Souls 2 and decided to start a new random shooter from my library… Devil Daggers
    • Had a management sim itch and gave another shot at FTL, never got to win. Half the time I lost in a single encounter to things like never landing a shot on the enemy ship due to shields + misses or 7 people teleporting to my ship and wrecking havok. Other times I got too greedy.
    • Tried to figure out which way to go next in Dark Solus 2 by checking the wiki but kept getting sidetracked by things I might’ve missed.
    • Also tried to quench the management itch with shapez, but didn’t like it much. Just made me crave the factorio dlc more. Amazing music though



  • Now that I think about it it is a third microphone. When they came out there were many posts of S20Us’ and note20Us’ camera glasses spontaneously shattering and the consensus from what I read was sudden pressure change. The same thing happened to my previous phone while in my locker (galaxy c9 pro with a single small camera and no hole), so it sounded plausible. And it’s also believable that water doesn’t go in from surface tension alone since the hole is really small

    Regardless I forgot that that it was supposed to be a microphone while posting my comments so nevermind

    Edit: also phones do normalise air pressure, just get a barometer app and squeeze the phone
