Pixel 2s are really sweet. I thought the "grip to google" feature was a gimmick at first but it's surprisingly useful. Camera is the best on the market, screen is beautiful, I like the size more than the N6, etc. I still haven't seen a Pixel 2XL in the wild.

Do you know if the Pixel 2 has the same issue as the Pixel 1 with overheating while doing Daydream poo poo?

the us boxart does look weirdly shittier than the jp one, i dunno why cause they're basically the same illustration

the character designs for legendia are cool though, they're done by the samurai champloo guy. it'd be great if the in-game graphics weren't smothered in vaseline and terrible early 3d modelling

The combat isn't like unplayable or anything, it's just kind of there and easy.

Best soundtrack of any RPG as far as I'm concerned, the characters are fun, and the setting being the anime version of the Island from Lost is cool.

No idea, but from my experience with Samsungs at least, all phones practically catch fire if you're using them as a VR device.

Weird, I haven't had any problems with tweets that loaded through chrome. But I also set Firefox as my default browser since I can use an ad blocker through Firefox without rooting. It's just some stuff for some reason still loads in chrome, which is weird.

So something I didn't realize in this trailer before: I think instead of simply having the teacher tell Mei what the constellations are, I think we're gonna get to play through those. Which is pretty cool.

I'm absolutely gonna get this, I wanted a reason to replay through the game again

Uncharted Lost Legacy was pretty good. Chloe and Nadine are fantastic protagonists with a lot of chemistry, there are like 10 total fights and maybe 2 of them you can't stealth through, there are a lot of great quiet world building moments, and it focuses on cool exotic locales instead of fighting waves of heavy mooks. I think they finally realized nobody plays Uncharted for the combat because they're super generous with checkpoints even mid-fight.

As a singular experience I'd put it at the very top. Like if there was one Uncharted game to play I'd say this is it although they reference all the games with little in-jokes and it takes place directly after Uncharted 4.

There were two side stories released a year or more ago. One you were looking at the constellations and telling stories, the other was about some alligator and a witch which I think directly ties into some in-game folklore. Based on the trailer (haven't played the game) they're combining everything together, probably into a single whole experience.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Lost Legacy is a pretty good Tomb Raider.

No, she did go to prison once (during Alibi in Ashes) but it was for arson

You are not locked out, no. But be prepared to face the consequences for being a player

What’s the conventional wisdom regarding the level recommendations for quests? Ignore low level ones, avoid higher level ones?

Do the main story quests until you're underleveled for them, then do the major sidequests until you are leveled up for the main story again. If you run out of sidequests do the Witcher contracts last. Treasure Hunts are the least worth your time imo

story quests in witcher 3 give you massive amounts of xp, side quests give you no xp whatsoever. if you don't want to outlevel quests, and you don't want to use mods, you gotta crank out sidequests before doing story stuff
