Every Franchise Xbox Now Owns After Buying Activision
  • Ori and the Will of the Wisps(Great)
    Sunset Overdrive(Good)
    Battletoads(Good, at least I enjoyed it)
    Forza Horizon 4 and 5(both are good, but definitely feeling a little repetitive and overly done now for me)
    Flight Simulator

    That is all I got though. and technically Forza Horizon 4 is 5 years and 12 days.

  • Cyberpunk was fundamentally a good game at launch, but needed cleaning and tidying(if you ignore the last gen consoles, it was terrible and should never have come out on them). Redfall is fundamentally bad, it doesnt need a spit and polish, this needs a meteor.

    The title should read "Redfall can be the next Final Fantasy XIV, if Microsoft wants it to be.", Nuke it from orbit, and release a basically new game. Except Redfall doesn't have the long standing francise name attached to it.

  • What's the point of the Cadbury's Flake when the Cadbury's Twirl exist?
  • Firstly, Galaxy and Cadbury chocolate taste different, so a Ripple and a Twirl which are the same type of product are of different tastes, similar to a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar and a Galaxy bar.

    But a flake is different, and not just a naked twirl. Different and increased crumbly texture as well as different type of chocolate, you supposedly can not melt a flake, unlike a twirl which you can.

    And Flake always had the better adverts when I was a kid.

  • Captchas getting harder or am I just getting blind
  • It is already a lost race though.

    For instance, when humans were asked to solve distorted text CAPTCHAs, they were able to solve them in 9 to 15 seconds. That sounds great until you learn that they were only able to get the answer correctly 50-84% of the time.

    On the other hand, bots taking the same texts were able to answer the same tests in less than a second, and they were able to do it more accurately—99.8% accurately, specifically.

  • Google won’t repair cracked Pixel Watch screens
  • Another Venu 2 owner here. It is great, does what I want from a smart watch(notifications, calender, heart rate, sleep and some other stuff), ties in nicely with the Garmin cycle computer I own, and allows for tracking between the two. And I get 3 - 4 days(or more depending on how much I am using it to record activities) in a single charge. I do kinda wish I had gone for a forerunner, but I dont wear it when cycling and it tracks walks and runs and everything else under the sun perfectly well.

    Definitely recommend a Garmin if it fits your needs.

  • The Unity Games That Could be Impacted Most by Controversial Fees, From Silksong to Cult of the Lamb - IGN
  • You can cancel, and stop selling the game, which is what Cult of the Lamb is threatening to do(and others should do if this actually goes ahead). But if you continue to use and sell your game, you have to agree to the new terms and conditions.

  • As Teens Take to E-Bikes, Parents Ask: Is This Freedom or Danger?
  • I think my biggest issue with this thread is the bikes they are referring too are actually Electric Motorbikes(and should be treated like any other motorbike), not an "ebike" in the typical sense of Pedal Assist Bicycle.

  • As Teens Take to E-Bikes, Parents Ask: Is This Freedom or Danger?
  • I do agree with most of your post, and the whole your average cyclist doing "30 mph without much trouble" is ridiculous. I do think you are underestimating how fast road bikes can be though.

    You are not reaching 30mph unless you are fully sprinting on a descent with a gravel bike (maybe a mountain bike if it’s a long, long, stretch) or have a road bicycle on a flat/slight slope and you are full sending it (even on a flat road I’m assuming, I’ve never ridden one). Not to mention these people will be using protective gear

    So, on a road bike, it is pretty easy on the flat to keep 20mph/32kmh. 30mph/48kmh is definitely an effort and not one that is sustainable for most people. To give you an idea, I did a charity bike ride in June which was just shy of 100 miles, it was 158.3km with 1667m of climbing as well, so not completely flat. I averaged 31.2kmh. I am in no way fast, I am alright on the flat but gravity is a cruel mistress on an uphill.

    Downhill is a different thing as well, I have hit speeds of around 62mph/100kmh, and a hill near me will almost always spit me out doing 55mph/89kmh with 0 effort(roll down the hill and sit on the drops), and that is on both my road and gravel bikes. But that is probably steeper than you are thinking. However, there is also a pretty steady -1% average "downhill", it is a false flat, but it is really easy to cruise along at 25mph/40kph+.

  • Gen Z is ditching iPhones for $100 'feature phones,' and the numbers don't lie
  • Eh, I don't like the idea of getting rid of my smart phone. But I did get rid of all the shit I didnt actually like. I use my phone for Music, maps, the camera, messaging a few people, and a few other things. I got rid of all the crap social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, even reddit(and have not put a lemmy/kbin app on there to replace it), there is not shit mobile games installed. Just does what I need it to do, and doesnt constantly bug me about Person X and what they had for lunch.

    However, if I ditched the smart phone, I would need a phone still, but then I still need the MP3 player, a camera. And I would much rather have 1 bit of kit that does all that well, than 3 items.
