Mossy Feathers (They/Them)

Nope, CPU-Z says it’s a Snapdragon 8. It’s a factory-unlocked US model on verizon, and I doubt a EU/ROW phone would support Verizon frequencies (it used to be that phones in the US had to be made for carrier-specific bands, but that might have changed with LTE), but I used CPU-Z just to double check.

I dunno, didn’t work for me.

I gave it all the permissions it said it needed.

I used the nodpi version on apkmirror. It’s not that the app doesn’t run, it launches just fine. It’s that it doesn’t appear to be able to access the cameras, it’s just a black screen and if I try to record then it crashes.

Also, I just tested it with the apkm via SAI from f-droid to make sure it wasn’t an issue with the nodpi version; and I got the same result. The UI and everything loads fine, there just isn’t a camera preview and it crashes if I press the record button.

but you should be able to sideload from apkmirror and get it to run with some limitations depending on your phone hardware.

S22 ultra here, app runs but none of the cameras work.

Team Fortress 2

Cruelty Squad (okay, the game is only a couple years old, but the art style is so intentionally shit that I just can’t see it aging at all)

Jet Set Radio, Jet Set Radio Future, and (I predict) Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. BRC also is only a couple years old, but it shares the same style as JSR(F), which has aged very well.

Minecraft

Doom and Doom II (just remember to turn off texture filtering, or set it to nearest neighbor).

The Sims. No, really, I think The Sims games have all aged very, very well. Some better than others, but I feel like each one of them has a visual style that still works today.

Someone else already mentioned wiby.me, so here’s something else:

I have no fucking clue what this site is. I feel like it’s a catalog for some Eldritch business, and that I could order literally anything I wanted from it if I could just figure out how to use it.

Texas.

It’s okay. I don’t blame people for hating our legislature, just try to remember that not all Texans are shitty people.

I’m sad. People were saying you can see it in Texas (as far south as Houston!) if you have a phone with a really good night-mode camera, which I have. But it’s too cloudy.

:c

Edit: this was a picture taken by someone in Houston:

Raaaaa!!

Poor thing may have just been too old or may have been sick. At least you gave her something to eat though.

I’m always sad when I come across a bee who’s obviously on their last legs.

I don’t know if fan stuff counts, but Kaze Emanuar went through Super Mario 64’s decompiled code and did a lot of optimization that resulted in it running significantly faster on original hardware. I don’t remember what the performance boost was, but it was significant.

Edit: oh yeah, I think I remember reading that the Crysis remaster runs a lot better than the original at comparable graphics settings on modern hardware. Iirc it’s because the original game was created when dual-core PCs were still brand new and low-level graphics APIs like Vulkan weren’t even conceived of yet. As such, the game was mainly optimized for single-threaded performance and the CPU was having to do a lot of stuff that the GPU can do now.

Too late, you’re an American now.

I actually still use one of these. A new stereo is too expensive when the tape works fine. I can’t imagine that I’d notice the difference since the car’s noise dampening isn’t very good.

When I was really young I’d check out audiobooks from the library, but I preferred reading books over listening to them. My grandparents loved audiobooks though. They had a cottage in Michigan they’d go to every summer, and they’d listen to them during the trip up there and back.

A picture of the man

Imagine donating blood as a way of paying forward the blood donations that kept you alive during your own surgery, and then finding out that you’re some kinda superman with medicinal blood.

I like the security camera pointed at the billboard, like someone’s gonna steal it.

Mountain Dew Throwback. As far as I can tell it hasn’t been fully discontinued, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere around me. It used real sugar instead of corn syrup. I hate the basic, corn syrup stuff but thought the throwback stuff tasted pretty good.

I love playing with new technologies. I wish graphics card prices stayed down because rt is too heavy nowadays for my first gen RT card. I play newer games with rt off and most setting turned down because of it.

I wish they stayed down because VR has the potential to bring back crossfire/SLI. Nvidia’s gameworks already has support for using two GPUs to render different eyes and supposedly, when properly implemented, it results in a nearly 2x increase in fps. However, GPUs are way too expensive right now for people to buy two of them, so afaik there aren’t any VR games that support splitting rendering between two GPUs.

VR games could be a hell of a lot cooler if having 2 GPUs was widely affordable and developers developed for them, but instead it’s being held back by single-gpu performance.
