Tech and gaming enthusiast. Interested in philosophy and design.
Currently playing Guild Wars 2, and dabbling in New World. I mostly play RPGs with action combat, but enjoy the occasional RTS, or very occasional shooter or turn-based game.
I have a separate account specifically for self-imposed challenges and semi-RP. I often end up running around in white gear; you know the worst gear you can get, the trash you buy from vendors?
Goddamn does it make the game tough. But goddamn does that difficulty make the game so much fun, much like how OP is describing it.
I wish there was an in-built mode that supported this kind of play.
That’s basically what the Pixel 7 Pro is over the Pixel 7; it’s just that it also comes with other extras, like another camera.
Not sure why they only managed 14% extra battery in the 7 series though. It’s the smallest jump from their smaller model vs the larger one except for the 6 series. Combine it with the more power hungry display on the Pro, and the already-inefficient chipset on both devices, and you just don’t get the battery life that competitors get.
It isn’t necessary any more, which is why all Pixels since the 4a have had small bezels all the way around. You literally got the last Pixel with a thick forehead.
As to why they’re not all perfectly symmetrical on all phones… I’ve seen a few answers:
I guess that’s just how F2P goes in games where most content is P2P.
GW2 has actually had remarkably little powercreep compared to other games, but even so, there’s still enough that players without a glider, mounts, elite specs, etc will struggle to keep up.
I wish there was a way for players to reduce their own power in OW in exchange for slightly increased rewards, even if those rewards were account bound. Most players would go for this (I think) and it would reduce how much stuff gets obliterated in seconds without making players feel like they got nerfed.
