Jesus Christ, that sounds like the John Wick of dogs

I picked up the 8pro. The fingerprint reader is fine, maybe marginally improved over the 7pro. It's nowhere near the ultrasonic fingerprint readers. But, it now has Class 3 secure face unlock, which is good enough for banking and other apps, and combined with the fingerprint reader, it's pretty quick to unlock.

The experience is smooth, the software is well optimized for the hardware, but if you're looking for the top specs and are a big mobile gamer, I don't think you'd be happy.

For me, I don't game at all on my phone, so it's perfect for me. I love the user experience, the helpful AI features, and the photos Pixel's take. I picked up the 8 Pro and it feels a lot more refined and uncompromising in almost all the ways.

RCS is just a standard, much like how SMS is just a standard. Google's Messaging app is just one implementation of it, though it probably is the most popular in the US it is not the only one, nor is Google able to decide who cannot use it. Carriers typically have their own, though you may have recently heard that T-Mobile decided to switch over to Google's.

I don't have any advice but I need to point out how hilarious that title is out of context

Ahsoka v Morgan round 2 was sick. I hope Ahsoka keeps the sword of Talzin and doubles down on the ronin vibe.

Pyenv! Let the OS have its own version and work on whatever version you want, whenever.

 

Just wanted to take a second to thank @chase_what_matters@lemmy.world for taking on moderating this community and for actively creating discussions. It's something I miss about reddit, and am a bit sad isn't more of a thing on Lemmy (yet), so I appreciate you taking the initiative and making a space where it can happen.

I know it's not the same without lots of active members and discussion (TBH I'm half tempted to start watching Invasion just to join in), but we have to start somewhere!

IIRC you also hear about Gortash from Councilor Florrick in the Last Light Inn. She says she's going to ask him for help against Ketheric.

I also remember reading about Gortash and Orin while rummaging through Ketheric's things in Moonrise. They definitely were not featured prominently but they were hinted at if you go looking!

Those Night Troopers look so cool. If I'm not mistaken, there are heavy Japanese influences, their armor wrapped in red cloth and mended with gold, a practice called kintsugi the Japanese use with broken pottery.

Completely agree. Already started my new save!

Thanks, this was helpful. Guess I have to play it again with each of the origin characters if I want to see how they fare afterwards!

Yeah, I got that dialogue as well! I guess I was hoping to see what happens between him and Mystra after he finds it.

Spoilers below!

Is there supposed to be a scene between Mystra and Gale? I thought we'd at least see him give her the crown (or not) to conclude his quest. Did I miss something or was it just settled offscreen?

The ending felt a bit abrupt and I would have loved to see some more scenes than the scene on the shores + one scene with Shadowheart (who my Tav romanced) that felt like a rehashed conversation we already had.
