Have both here, spotify crashes randomly or I just get a blank screen and sometimes requires force stopping the app to make it work at all. I have a phone with an SD card (rare I know) and set in the spotify app to download songs to the SD card, however it randomly switches that option back to internal storage for no reason I am able to discern. I gave up changing this setting after the fourth time as spotify just straight up won’t work for like a week or 2 (done everything except un and reinstall as I don’t want to have to manually re-download all my music (I don’t have everything in Playlist as I usually enjoy jumping from album to album without spotify shuffling the same 3 songs it thinks I love immediately after). I have over 20k liked song but spotify only want to play the same handful of songs makes it really frustrating to use. Spotify also has a really annoying habit of removing an album from the artists page whenever an anniversary or remastered edition comes out. I understand not wanting to have several of the same album listed, but sometimes I prefer the original recording before everything was ‘cleaned up’.

YouTube music is my backup music player for when spotify shits itself, as stated above it usually fixes itself after a week or two The main reason I dislike yt music more than spotify is that it plays audio from videos that are straight up not music. It also plays the outros of videos where artists are talking about the album, thanking you for listening, or upcoming tours (which have already happened since the songs were released years ago). These 2 issues keep me from fully switching to yt music.

Got a cheap mp3 player and micro sd card and use that more than either yt or spotify. No internet required, no ads, no songs getting delisted, no subscription. Just all my music readily available.

Not only this, but they rephrased the question asking if he thought it would be in America’s best interest to win the war and he declined to answer again…

As a fellow whore for coffee stainI kinda wish coffee stain had something similar for Satisfactory (but I’m also glad there isn’t) , but since they don’t I took to buying the game 9 times (gifted them to friends) and bought merch over the years. It’s so refreshing to have such insanely good communication between the devs and the community.

I cannot wait for 1.0! Only 4 days away!

At least they were wearing their masks, many people I worked with during the pandemic kept masks in their pockets or hanging from the rear view mirror in their cars, but refused to wear them for any reason.

I don’t remember much about the combat from the ds games other than the enemy ai could be cheesed by running around the perimeter of the battle arena while waiting for abilities/geos to cool down. If they had a better ai or higher difficulty I would take any of the combat options though!

Edit: found old ds and first game, played for a bit and the combat is alright, would definitely benefit from a lock onto enemy feature, and better enemy ai. The circling the perimeter works even better than I remember and allows for easy battles. The movement in combat also has some drift to it which I remember disliking alot back in the day. Also the using geos as an ultimate weapon in battle is still satisfying, upon using one you get a sick cut scene of the ultimate spectrobes you used and brings back lots of memories of using them in tough battles to turn the tide! Forgot about how you level 3 separate stats which each can add levels to the spectrobes which made building specific stat based spectrobes super engaging. Also the incubator rooms (4 of them!) allowed you to feed the minerals you excavated to the spectrobes. Also the excavation mini game is lightyears ahead of what pokemon implemented in Gen 4 and way more engaging! Using the ds mic to blow away debris brought a smile to my face all these years later. This honestly should have been the pokemon killer it was made out to be.

Spectrobes, spent a ton of time in all 3 games as a kid. Apparently the 3rd game sold pretty poorly even though I would argue it was probably the best of the 3. It had just about everything one would want from a pokemon rpg, it even allowed for 2 players! Super upset that Disney killed it :(

New entry should absolutely follow the footsteps of the 3rd game (origins). Only thing I would hope that is improved is some of the terrain paths were kinda narrow and hard to accurately maneuver the horse-like mount around. That super frustrated me as a kid as it was much faster than walking, but all the time you ended up losing from getting caught on terrain, having to dismount/dismiss the mount, turn around, then resummon/remount made it more efficient to just walk.

The combat was fun enough on the 3rd, but my absolute favorite part was the excavation of fossils. Trying to go as fast as I could while also being super careful to not damage the fossil and having that linked to better stats for spectrobes was SO much better than breeding/catching new pokemon to me. It felt much more engaging than hoping for good rng.

If they won’t make a new one, the least they should do is remaster the games for switch. Which they also probably wouldn’t have to do much for the remaster as I would argue even the original version looks the same/better graphically than the latest pokemon releases for switch.

Does putin not have peepee?

As someone who also checked out of MCU shows/movies I found it extremely enjoyable.

Cuba lima monster energy. So many good memories of getting out of school and going to my buddy’s house, we would just hang and drink so many of these. Granted it was no doubt terrible for our health and was a bunch of money we probably could have used for better things, they remind me of a simpler and better time.

Glad I never connected mine to the internet, I find the interface too laggy and clunky to use the built in streaming apps anyway. It shall remain offline until it dies which is hopefully a long way off.

Work in a restaurant so I need music that can match my pace. Usually this means metal (death metal/ metal core) but recently been going on a grunge kick and some 80s punk and prog.
