Are there any keyboards on f-droid that offer word prediction?
I always go back to SwiftKey (but didn't update if since they announced AI stuff) because nothing comes close, but I would gladly change it to something FOSS.
Yeah, don't underestimate the Supra- series of games. I thought Supraland looked childish, but then I started playing it and couldn't stop. It's SO fun.
The jokes are hit and miss, but the interconnected world, steady progression and cool mechanics make it stand out. And you can freely draw on the map to mark points of interest!
There are currently 3 games out in the series, with 4th (Supraworld) being in the works.
There is no global standard that says that. Everyone can have their own rating system. The Times uses 0-5.
Same, and I've just spent the entire weekend getting from 46% to 60% completion. I didn't expect it to be this good and this long. Each new location I'm in awe, then I get its map and see how huge the area is going to be. There's SO MUCH to explore!
Warrior Within used to be my favorite Prince of Persia game, but now it has changed to The Lost Crown. It's just SO good.
I'm jealous! I wish I could play Tunic for the first time, again. Let us know what you think!
I liked the original Ori the most. I've played it so much that I've gotten all achievements, including the no-death and under 3 h ones.
The definitive edition added the much needed teleports between wells, so that was a great upgrade.
The sequel lost some of its charm imo. I didn't like that Ori is now slashing with a sword; I preferred the original's approach of Sein being the damage dealer.
The final battle in 2nd game was a huge difficulty leap imo. Falling down was really not fun.
If you liked The Witness, you might like these games too:
I will be window shopping.
I got my S23U a few months ago and couldn't be happier. The battery life and performance of a Snapdragon chip is miles ahead of Exynos, which my region used to be sentenced to before.
Now, there are rumors of Samsung going back to Exynos (or "Dream Chip", as rumored) in the usual regions. Hopefully they stick to Snapdragon with the Ultras at least...
With how great my Ultra is, and how little changes there will apparently be, and downgrades from 10x to 5x, I really see no issue in waiting 1-2 more years before starting to consider an upgrade. Any AI chip buzzwords don't work on me - and even if they would, it would be one of the first generations of such, so waiting is even more advisable.
I tried to use it for reminders, like "remind me about the laundry in one hour", only to realize a few hours later that I forgot about the laundry. The reminder never appeared. Asking "where is my reminder, google?" didn't help.
I got my Deck around May, and yesterday I've finished 18th game this year, played exclusively on Valve's handheld. 2 games last week, since it was a holiday break.
I've finished Wall World + DLC, Spyro 1 (and started 2), Tunic, Contrast, A Short Hike, Cloudpunk, Assemble With Care, Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Vampire Survivors, Webbed, The Last Campfire, and Sable. Replayed older games like Linelight, Expand, Scrapland, MDK 2, and Gift. Started Obra Dinn, Grim Fandango, Dome Keeper, Gunpoint, Ctrl Alt Ego, and Zelda BOTW.
This device is such a delight. It plays overwhelming majority of titles out of the box, while older titles like Gift and MDK 2 only require a few minutes of tinkering to get right, plus maybe adjust the control scheme for gyro aiming the sniper mode in MDK.
I wouldn't get even close to this number of titles on a classic PC. My gaming computer is at the same desk where I work from home, creating this unpleasant mental image that I'm still "at work" when gaming - so having an external device that handles AAA games like Hogwarts Legacy with ease is a godsend.
My desktop PC was down for two weeks due to fried motherboard. I connected the Deck via a simple JSAUX cable that has HDMI out and USB-C for charging, paired a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and it worked perfectly as a replacement. I could play Soldat 2, design in Figma, and watch movies - because it's a regular PC, just in an unusual form factor.
I'm definitely getting a SD2 when it comes out in a few years.
It definitely does! I misremembered, thought that you can manually select from a list of tapes. Thanks, will edit the parent comment.
I thought about it when compiling my reply, but I can't recommend it under "calm" requirement. The number of times I yelled at the game for giving me Time Eater when I'm playing a Shiv deck...
I didn't test most of these personally on a touch screen, but they seem like good candidates to check:
- Pawnbarian
- Osmos
- Hexcells (+ Hexcells Plus + Hexcells Infinite)
- Frog Detective (+ 2 + 3)
- The Witness
- Taiji
- shapez
- Her Story
- Eufloria
- KAMI
- Hook (+ 2)
- The Pedestrian
- Subsurface Circular
- Dorfromantik
- Polychromia
- Hidden Folks
- Cogs
I personally use two pairs that satisfy most of your criteria:
- Jabra Elite 85t. You switch between ANC/passthrough by double-clicking the right bud; it doesn't need the app to do that. However, if your 12 h requirement is about consecutive hours, they won't work (buds last about 5 h, plus 20 h from the case). They're pretty compact and the case is magnetic, which I really like (coming from 65t model).
- Sony WH1000XM5. Insanely good ANC and nice battery life. There's a physical button on the left cup to toggle between modes, which I believe are set to ANC/passthrough by default. The app lets you add a third mode (off), so you don't need it at all.
I had a similar approach about headphones as you had - I only planned to use them for work, specifically Teams meetings in a loud office. But XM5s have such great ANC and sound quality that I now commute and travel with them.
For gaming, I'm using HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. They have an unbelievable 300 hours battery life and decent passive noise canceling, though no ANC. They're using a proprietary wireless connection, making them fit for gaming without noticeable lags (Bluetooth sucks in this regard, I can't play with 300 ms audio delay). Not sure if you can connect them to a phone.
