@elilla they're probably also used to conflict-avoidant Germans lmao

@LottieVixen I mean they'd bundle in the cost either way it's just so you know you can come back for free if it doesn't work for you

@LottieVixen I mean that's probably mostly bc a lot can go wrong with measuring the parameters and sometimes glasses just don't work for me. My mom spent ages complaining about her glasses until someone figured out they needed to be tilted a bit and obvs she didn't have to pay on top for that

@LottieVixen I suspect there's a bunch of post-processing and coatings and stuff. Look at lenses for VR headsets, they still cost a good amount of money

@mwichary well, it needs to know where the lock button is, or the back fingerprint reader back when that was a thing

@mwichary idk if it's in AOSP or just on Pixels but the phone screen lights up from the source of the unlock, if you touch the screen (or the fingerprint sensor) it's a circular wave from that location, if you lift the phone it originates from the bottom of the screen etc. It even supported the back fingerprint sensor on older devices back when they did the Material You redesign

@LilaHexe idk, maybe they don't wanna bother the local radio stations

re: resident evil: requiem (spoilers) 

could've done without the Chief Irons sequence though. Absolute dogshit "stealth" with the least interesting threat in ages. The narrative worked but idk, the reason for Chloe to get into the lab could've been a different one.

parrying a rocket into the final boss to trigger the second phase was the coolest shit I've ever done in a video game. The hatchet for Leon with the sharpening mechanic is so cool. Unfortunately haven't managed to parry a car yet (I was told it's possible in the Tyrant boss fight but the Tyrant kept missing me)

resident evil: requiem (opinion on the complete game, no spoilers that weren't in the trailers) 

what a good time this entire game was. The switching between Grace and Leon makes the game feel like RE6 if the intertwining story lines and gameplay styles were realized well. The RPD sequence didn't linger too long, didn't feel like too much fan service. Grace and Victor especially had incredible acting, but all characters were realized really well. Wild that they can make a game where you can parry a chainsaw and also get genuinely scared within minutes of each other just work

@elomatreb bitte sag mir dass der Schuko die Buchse ist

@mwichary about Apple as well! Their user manuals look better than that

@hiisikoloart visual voicemail with transcripts should be a standard feature, alas
