Exactly, it was a crappy stop gap solution.

Yet they still get around it through sound mixing. Any regulations against using jingles or having ads interrupt what you’re watching?

I hardly watch it either. Just found it funny all the complaints above could be applied to what free to air tv has been doing for decades.

Sounds like you haven’t watched a lot of free to air tv haha

After watching the movie twice, then reading the book and watching the movie a third time. I now know what’s going on.

Me too. But I still really enjoyed the weirdness of it.

The event is being held 4 Oct, so shouldn’t be much longer.

What is/are Moto Flashlight and Camera gestures? And what phone do you now have?

Voyager. I’ve tried a couple others but keep coming back to it.

Yeah with the cost of Sync. I don’t think it’s right. This isn’t Reddit. I’ve donated money to support a local instance and I’ll donate to Voyager as well. I’m for supporting developers. But this is an ad free platform, so it feels wrong to pay so much for an app that adds ads to it.

You should have an option. I’m not on iOS. But try go to settings > appearance and there should be a Votes section that lets you pick separate.

Depends on the app you’re using.

Yeah there’s definitely a bit of a circle jerk happening with Sync. People proclaiming it was the best Lemmy app ever, while up until a few days ago you couldn’t even submit a post.

Edit: realised I even got downvoted for pointing out Sync doesn’t have that functionality. How ironic that the only reason I can see that is because I’m not using Sync haha

You can’t on Sync as far as I’m aware.

Where did Microsoft or Larian say that was an option? Where did Microsoft say that they would be happy to have features cut from the X to keep parity with the S?

I pointed out how poor a business decision this would be if Microsoft would allow it. It ruins their offering for the Series X. How can it compete with the PS5 if they start allowing developers to drop features from Xbox games? The entire point of the article is that Microsoft has boxed themselves into this corner. And your suggestion isn’t a good solution.

It’s literally in the title…

Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands

And in the article…

While there would be some variance in technical capabilities between consoles, feature parity between the two would remain the same. It would remain the same because Microsoft would demand it remain the same, from both its own studios and third parties.

Hey guys, you should get a Series X because BG3 is coming out. Sure it will be missing features that you’ll get on the PS5 like split screen, but you guys understand we need to support the Series S and have parity between our two consoles.

So even though you spent more money on a Series X, that’s capable of running the full game that the PS5 is getting, you should just be happy that you’re getting the game at all. Don’t worry about having paid for a console that’s capable of more.

-Microsoft

Let’s say that’s something Microsoft would even allow, it diminishes the ability to compete with the PS5. Why would I get a Series X if there’s a chance that some big game launches will have less features than other current gen platforms?

Microsoft really hamstrung this generation of consoles by releasing the S and demanding it runs feature parity with the X.

I used to find this was the case using the PWA, but since moving to the app from the store it works a lot more consistently.

Looking forward to trying this out as it’s a genre I haven’t really tried. But still not sure I get the reason to pre-order.

That’s odd, I had no issues getting it from the store (Australia). Does this direct link not work?
