I fucking love typing games, this is super cool to see. I was poor when I was a kid and I would just dump 100s of hours into typeshark lol

Yah basically my viewpoint exactly. I loved pgr and was excited to see what their next outing would be, just to be disappointed that besides the combat it felt very much like a genshin skin. Collecting the gold cubes, doing shooting mini games, basically identical UI... It's as if someone said now that genshin has had time to mature and gain mass appeal, let's put out an inferior copy and have a perceived poor launch.

I really hope they find a way to differentiate the game, even if just a little because idk what would keep people here over their maxed genshin accounts. The reason I quit genshin was because after hundreds of hours climbing mountains and gliding to the next treasure chest I saw ad nauseum got extremely old and pointless considering that you level your characters for these huge damage numbers just to run the same abyss for the 500th time. Combat seems to be everyone's favorite part so I really hope they lean into it and create some cool mechanics and features and stop with the "speed run" events where you could basically walk it and still get max rewards.

Btw, are you keeping up with news for the game at all? Since leaving reddit I've had a hard time keeping up with more niche subjects like gacha games...

I don't what it is, every time I stop playing I tell myself, well, that's that, done everything I've wanted to do with it.

Then 2 hours later I come crawling back, fishing for royal flushes...

I'm assuming they're gonna crazily expand the city to feel game size. So a few NYC central parks-alikes for typical forest pokemon, some aquariums and a coastline for water types, some dark alleys for dark type. Something like that maybe?

TBH I'm just sad it's not a normal remake. Gen 3 was my favorite because that's the one I played as a kid, but gen 5 is when I got into competitive battling and farming so I really enjoyed it as well.

I will never forgive Sir Sanford Fleming for inventing time zones and putting the east coast at UTC -5:00 and making me stay up past midnight to watch sports

Negative. Just download the launcher, then you can pick the version of Spotify you want to use. Then it'll download the apk. Basically like how YouTube vanced used to work. It's been pretty perfect for my use case.

I only listen to music with my phone or on my desktop. On my phone I have a pirated Spotify premium app, and on desktop I just stream from YouTube with adblock. Don't have any recommendations if you're looking to download though.
