  • This reminded me that there's a mod on Nexus for Dying Light 2 that replaces the female character, who's not even a playable character, with a different model (that's also white instead of black), just because GaMeRs didnt find her attractive enough.

  • What do you mean you can't come up with a transportation solution to transport millions of people around at any given moment that's more convenient than them being able to travel to their destinations on their own without a long schedule?

    In case I need it, /s.

  • I don't like this line of thinking because especially now where new games seem to always suffer from performance issues, it lowers the bar that these developers feel like they'd need to set as far as the experience they're offering for their games.

    I think the minimum standard should be at least 60fps, in cases with steam deck and other low-end hardware of course concessions must be made, so either lower graphics settings or deal with lower framerates.

    But there's no reason a new game should be suffering poor framerates on modern desktop hardware (looking at you Dragons Dogma 2).

  • I want to switch to AMD but I also game in windows occasionally and it seems like the opposite experience where AMD isn't as good in windows as nvidia is. Also right now the high end AMD cards aren't as compelling compared to what nvidia is offering so it makes it harder. Hopefully the 8000 series GPUs really come in at a good price and with good performance.

  • There's a huge hate bandwagon for Manjaro and I don't really understand it. I don't consider myself a linux expert and maybe that's why but I felt like Manjaro was very accessible to someone new to Linux who wanted to use Arch. You have the ability to install what you need while also having a relatively stable system. I enjoyed that it came with software that I would normally be using but I know there's a lot of diehards who want just Linux and to install things themselves, in that case they should just use plain Arch or Endeavor, but I think for others Manjaro is perfectly fine.

  • How is it that the pokemon mod for minecraft never received such pushback from nintendo, but this modder gets DMCA'd on the spot? Fair use should cover using characters. There's plenty of games that re-use characters as mods (look at skyrim and all the ridiculous mods that import characters from other franchises).

    All this copyright nonsense over a free mod is just a waste of resources.

  • Yeah. This was my first time opening the phone but I watched the ifixit teardown video almost religiously trying to catch every detail. Unfortunately despite it warning you about pick depth, it doesnt warn you about going inbetween the screen and glue. Hopefully since Google has gone this far in the repairability department, they make future pixels a bit easier to teardown without accidentally breaking it

  • Yikes, hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble. It's pretty wild how delicate these screens are. I hope future pixels are easier to take apart that reduce the potential damage from mistakes.

  • Haha yup, if only. Also the battery was glued to the frame with probably the strongest glue I've ever seen. Even after heating the back case to too hot to touch temps it was still incredibly difficult to remove the battery. I don't think there's a good reason to glue the battery like that where I'm sure some thermal padding would probably suffice to keep it in place, or shit even clips.

  • That sounds like it kinda sucks. Imagine something is on sale and it just ends as you pick it up. You cant even tell the sales people what the sale price is since now the display changed...
