Wild guess because I like guessing: American history x

I upvote every single one that comes across my feed. I don't comment on them all, but our friend Atticus has absolutely inspired me to stop doom scrolling and pick up a controller. So many times I've found myself enjoying the game a lot more than I thought I would because I decided to just play

And they've turned me on to games I've previously written off as "not my thing." Also the engagement in the comments too has been really awesome; I've learned a lot about games I've played and even completed before

I know they've got a lot going on, but through these posts what I've gleaned is they have a good friend group who also games. I'm thrilled to see these posts but I know I'll be a little sad if they trail off. Which is alright, they have no obligation to us, but it makes me happy seeing someone having a good life with friends, and exposing me to awesome games and moments within them

So to echo the above poster, thank you :)

His name is 412 KB JPG. It's literally right there

Does your situation not allow a plugin ev? You don't need to rely on a charging station. There's a good video about people's "range anxiety" and breaks down why home charging is adequate for nearly everyone

I've noticed that trend, especially with high-volume posters

Some things are posted with substance and other times it's just a link to a pic of a random artefact in a museum. Ok, it's cool looking but is it significant? Not that that matters but if you're going to post something at least include why. Other than "I hit random"

Because grey is a fantastic color, and grey hair is just another color to dye it. Plenty of people dye their hair natural colors, too, not just to cover up greys

And plenty of people with grey/white hair enjoy and love it

I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

When I got it, my family said it didn't work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like "sure you can have it"

It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don't remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn't factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

I really liked that phone for sure. I'm sure it's a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

I've currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one's a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It's got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven't looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I'm leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today's standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise

I had a Nexus that I got as a hand me down. It had a ball with customizable colors

The next one I had after that had an led you could customize for different types of notifications

Oh I made another comment but this was what I was talking about! I was talking to my partner about it last night after watching the CES video. I couldn't remember the name but this is exactly it

I said it was "Rock Pops" because i think that's great

I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren't even new ideas

There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a "smart" microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch

Definitely, but they (my family member) did well for themselves and their family. They moved between big name studios but have found a comfortable career not tied to any big name studio

I haven't kept in close contact with them but it's pretty fun hearing about, or even playing, games they've worked on (every once in a while I check up on what they've done)

They eventually got into the sound side of things and occasionally would do recordings when family got together. One time in particular I remember, we went on a walk and they brought recording equipment. Recorded the ambient sounds while we were on the trail. Sometimes we'd be talking and other times we were walking in silence. Recording us approaching and departing; the sounds of our footsteps on different terrain: gravel, dirt, grass, pavement. Got some closeups of a small creek that ran next to the trail. Would record the sounds of a field of wild grass, or a stand of trees. I wonder if anything they recorded ended up in some game.. That would be pretty dope

Tl;Dr What I can say is, they genuinely loved their job no matter which shitty big name they worked under. And they got to do some genuinely fun things in the pursuit of bettering their work

Sorry for the wall of text, idk I just haven't really had somewhere to share that. I've never heard someone mention infinity ward , like literally ever. Any time I've said the name I've been met with blanks stares until I say "Call of Duty"

I have a family member who worked for IW on CoD but left shortly after the merger when they saw the writing on the wall. Granted they left for a company just as bad ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
