There’s a solution nobody has mentioned yet, which is using an iMessage bridge application (allowing you to message iPhone users over iMessage). If you have a machine running MacOS, I just started using one called OpenBubbles that works great and, unlike other bridges (AirMessage or BlueBubbles), doesn’t require you to spin up and run a Mac as a server.

Alternatively, iOS 18 drops this month and has support for RCS, as some have mentioned. This is assuming you use Google Messages…

AROOOOOO

The community appreciates your input to the discussion.

Releasing a perfect game that doesn’t have any bugs isn’t what the article is about.

It’s talking about teams that have honed their craft over many years of developing titles they cared about working on and investing in continuous improvements, of which both Arrowhead and Larian have done.

It’s amazing for traveling with. I’ve found that streaming devices like a Chromecast or Roku are hit or miss at most hotels/motels, but the Steam Deck in desktop mode with a USB hub and HDMI cable works basically anywhere.

I also keep some movies and shows downloaded just in case the Wi-Fi particularly sucks wherever I am.

Oh wow, they have a version that doesn’t look like it was made for XP? Sucks that it’s buggy.

What do you mean by installation quirk? Having a GPU and needing a driver?

That seems pretty common to me. I also know people interested in PC gaming who are also low skill and I certainly wouldn’t recommend Linux to them (only exception being the Steam Deck).

I hate all acronyms that aren’t defined.

You see it constantly in gaming communities. Ah, yes, the game “AC.” You know the one.

Assassin’s Creed? Animal Crossing? Armored Core? Ace Combat?

I’m not sure why it does that. The slash was definitely in there.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: other people are apparently having this issue

Fata Deum (not out yet) is a spiritual successor I’ve been keeping my eye on.

Actually not seeing that issue in Venmo. Are you looking in your transaction list?

Others have already responded to you with many of the same complaints I was going to bring up so I’ll just highlight a few things:

• First off, I have a 2019 Subaru Impreza so not the latest generation
• There used to be this issue where, upon turning the car on, you couldn’t interact with the infotainment system for a good 10 seconds which includes volume adjustments. Let’s say you had the volume set to 20 (max 35) when you last drove, well it’s going to be blaring as soon as you start up the car again, but you won’t be able to do anything about it for a good 10 seconds. Luckily this issue has gotten better (I believe with a firmware update from the dealership after I complained), but it’s still not fixed completely.
• Recently I took my car in for work and they needed to keep it overnight, so they let me borrow a brand new 2024 Outback Touring. This was great cause I got to test a brand new car “for free,” and what I learned is that they now put all HVAC stuff (seat warming, climate control, etc.) on this screen that has poor touch sensitivity. It’s obnoxious. Also the system itself is only marginally better than my 5 year old car, which is to say it’s still incredibly clunky and slow. They’ve made improvements, no doubt, but it’s built from the same trash.

I absolutely cannot stand Subaru’s infotainment system. It’s actually the primary reason I’ll never get another one.

Thanks. I actually enjoy all those games and can’t wait for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

Another game that’s a bit less polished but still enjoyable is Don’t Shit On My #!$@& Roof.

I don’t get it. What’s happening here?

The bot doesn’t have a profile? If it does, you have to go there then scroll to the right:

I know you mentioned audiobooks but what about some digital books? Personally, reading makes my eyes tired so I know that, for me, reading something would be a good way to provoke a nap.

As a response to the idea that you may get fatigued by passive media, a book may be a good balance to that. With movies, shows, and audiobooks, you’re going to be listening the whole time. It’s just constant noise. A book may be more meditative.

Which reminds me, this may be a good time to practice meditation.
