  • Yes, it gets about 1000% better. I had the same experience in the beginning and was thinking “wtf is this game? It’s so clunky and I can barely do anything properly.” But if you stick with it you slowly realize that’s an intended feature that slowly melts away early-mid game. You’re meant to start off a literal peasant and grow into something more. And that growth also comes with actual proficiency in the game’s systems - be it sneaking, crafting, rizzing it up, or fighting. It was a slog at the beginning but I ended up putting many hours into that game with like three or four play throughs to try different play styles. Once you level some of the stats I also found it could actually be super relaxing game where you can literally just stroll through the forest, explore, and have a chill time. In addition to, you know, going into war in full plate to slice and bonk some baddies.




  • Sounds like you’ve got some classics lined up but I’d suggest throwing in some more casual stuff too, especially if you’re losing interest in the long-form, story-based games. Something like excite bike or crazy taxi or road rash (I’m partial to old racers) or anything where you just pick it up, play a few rounds and move on. Think arcade style.

    I made a favorites list in retroarch and cycle through it. I’ll play the story-based classics too but sometimes it’s difficult to get invested with dated graphics and sound. The pick-up-and-go games I find more accessible as I’m getting older.



  • -hops on nix soapbox- As someone currently trying to set up a NixOS server, your bullet point descriptions of it are incorrect except maybe the last 2. You’re just describing Arch.

    In fact Nix tolerates user error extremely well and arguably makes every effort to be error-proof. A wrong user config means it flat out won’t compile and just revert to the past working config.

    I agree it’s a pain - at first - and requires a strong base knowledge of how Linux in general works. -hops off-



  • Loved their first 4 albums then dropped off after a few years… came back to listen after they released their first “non-Armory Wars” album, Color Before the Sun - loved it. Went back and listened to their full catalogue. They are currently my favorite band. Seen em a few times headlining and at fests. Their fans are inclusive, passionate, nerdy, and it makes it fun.

    Battery is good for me. Lasts about a day and a half, almost two days through my standard use. Hasn’t dipped from that at all in the months I’ve had the phone. Super quick charge.

    Battery is replaceable as well. Haven’t done it myself but it’s looks very simple.

    Stock android. There was an initial issue I had with the physical keyboard mis-matching keys (I’d press one character, it’d type another) but there was a fix I found from the fxtec forum by disabling “Accessibility” permissions from “Android Assistant”.

    I am currently typing from the Fxtec Pro1 X, using Android.

    It’s great for me with the stark exception that it has recurring issues with dropping signals, be it mobile 4G, Bluetooth, or WiFi. I would not say that it makes things unusable at all… just occasionally annoying. It’s usually fixed quickly by switching to airplane mode and back.

    The most annoying part is that I can very rarely use it as a telephone unless I’m on WiFi. People report they can’t hear me at all only very broken and garbled when I’m on mobile signal (T-Mobile carrier). This seemed to have been resolved by my using my smart watch to make calls which appear to go through without issue.

    Freaking love the keyboard on this thing though, so it’s worth it for me.
