Wanna source that? Cause I've been following loops a bit and haven't seen anything close to that. If anything it's the opposite.

Forespokens hatred train was beyond-the-pale ridiculous. If every game was judged / brigaded as harshly as Forspoken was, the AAA game industry would collapse.

And honestly, Forspoken was a really fun game if you focused on what you were doing 99% of the time, which was traversal and combat. The story, quest design and characters were lackluster, but it wasn't nearly as horrible as people made it out to be.

People robbed themselves.

I replaced Nova with Kvaesitso and honestly its pretty awesome.

Its more limited than Nova was but it meets my use cases. The biggest adjustment was using labels to filter things instead of using folders, which I've actually come to like better.

But plenty of customizations for everything else you mentioned and more.

Is that not what soulslike refers to?

I like to categorize my apps. In Nova I have them divided into Web / Media / Games / Tools / System and I can swipe between each page (horizontally) of them. I use quite a few apps to do a lot of things tho, so *shrug.

I also really like the Sesame search integration, Lawnchairs adaption of Pixel Launchers is good. But there is style and behavior customization that Nova offers that Lawnchair doesn't.

I am pretty particular about making my phone just look and behave the way I want it, of course it changes over time as phones and apps get better but yeah.... It's largely why I preferred Android from the start and have stuck with it

Lol nah. I tried it recently. Lawnchair is lacking in so much customization compared to Nova it's kind of appalling to compare them imo.

That being said, if you are ok with the Pixel launcher and pretty basic / generic customizations Lawnchair is a pretty awesome app.

So you're in the 1%. Cause if you're not that's blatantly incorrect.

As unpopular an opinion as 2+2=5...

That's the case in doing it too early in animals as well, especially noticable in larger breeds. There's been a longtime pushback for dogs to get spayed / neutered at later ages, than one size fits all.

Also there are other interesting studies that differ between humans and animals, such as the lifespan of animals that are neutered / spayed tends to be longer than the other way around, and supposedly in humans it's the opposite.

I didn't do a ton of vetting when I was researching the information though, so I don't know how well the studies were controlled and what they accounted for.

Edit: Also some vets do offer vasectomies as an alternative to neutering, but it is usually far more expensive.

And? I'd say less than 1% pirate. I can throw in random unfounded metrics too. Still doesn't change the point. Just because you don't doesn't mean someone else won't. Which again isn't even the point of the article.

The point is someone could backup their game and sell it. The buyer being unaware it would ban their console.

It's kind of condescending to assume everyone does the same thing you do. Even if it's a majority.

Or are you assuming that no one backs up media for the sake of backing it up? Cause that's... pretty nearsighted.
