stardust , to Games in Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

Emulating a Nintendo DS and looking for stylus only games is my recommendation. Games like Kirby Canvas Curse, Kirby Mass Attack, and Warioware Touched are fun.

stardust , to Android in Used VPN for cheaper YouTube Premium? Congrats, your subscription has been canceled

To add on to this for iOS/macOS/iPadOS if you use safari you can send YouTube to your TV through airplay. Skips all the ads and if you use sponsorblock skips that too, so if you are too lazy to install smart tube this is a setup that works nicely.

Me too. So nice not needing an account to keep a playlist or channel subs.

Newpipe and its forks for the win.

I was playing the demo over and over before I finally got the full game this year.

stardust , to Technology in Instagram is training AI on your data. It’s nearly impossible to opt out

Social media that requires an account to view stuff aren't worth even visiting.

stardust , to Games in Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

I played the first one but not the second yet. I did enjoyed the experience and the hairstyles stood out for the character designs with the ribbons.

I just want a nice story driven single player game from Valve again that isn't VR.

stardust , to Android in 4 months durability for an $800 phone!

Makes phone feel slippery too, which make some feel like it'll pop out of my hands.

stardust , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Youtube Rant from a paying customer

YouTube is unwatchable for me without sponsorblock so I've liked the newpipe forks that include. And on desktop I love freetube because it goes further and lets me block channels.

stardust , to Games in Sony cancelled the PSN account linking requirement for Helldivers 2

This shows the power of steam reviews with it being driven by the actual community. People tried to downplay and belittle its effectiveness, but it being front and center on the store page does have more impact than there would be without steam reviews. If there were no steam reviews the PSN requirement would have been pushed through with it being easier to ignore some random internet comments on social media than a store page.

stardust , to Games in Sony - Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update - PSN no longer required

Wonderful change. Simple solution is the best.

stardust , to Android in Dual headphone jack smartphone scores high in new reparability video

Space seems overblown when Samsung ultras fit in an entire spen that takes up way more space, and most phones do not have a stylus that can be stored internally. So I don't buy the excuse of space. Always has seemed like more a company excuse to sell accessories.

stardust , (edited ) to Games in "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"

Yes I would say so. If game doesn't show itself able to stay around for years and shuts down early like other live services games then I'd personally have considered it a waste of money due to it becoming unplayable compared to non live service games.

Most successful live services games are free too, so that's an additional uphill battle for paid live service games. It depends on if someone is willing to spend full retail money on what may be a temporary experience. I'm not one of those.

For paid online only games I don't rush in. If it seems like it will stick around after steep discounts that's when I'd be fine with spending money. If it dies before then I'm glad I didn't waste money on it. No need to be offended that I take the same approach to paid live service games as I do regular games. You can choose to pay for early access if the experience is worth it too you, and if it is worth it you should.

Patient gaming for the win.
