Use case example: You’re busy doing something, but you send a message to someone and leave the chat open because you can’t close it at that second. You look away from your phone and continue what you were doing. A message comes through but because the chat is open, you don’t hear a sound. Then you get back to your phone 30 minutes later, and find that the person had already replied to you 27 minutes ago. If the sound still played even while the chat was open, you would have stopped what you were doing and responded to them as soon as you got their message.
The Last of Us, The Walking Dead game and other Telltale games, Uncharted, The Witcher, God of War, and I guess it’s just a general trend I feel. A lot of games seem to focus on story-driven elements more than gameplay, with an obsession around graphics and story more than anything else (see what Mohamed Enieb says on Twitter, for example).
And I guess this is somewhat separate, but… why don’t trailers show any gameplay, just cinematic stuff? I don’t play games for the visuals or story personally, I just want good gameplay. I find it increasingly hard to find games I actually enjoy.
What happened to the likes of Ratchet & Clank, Jak series, Lost Planet, or the Halo series? Those are games with good gameplay, and I couldn’t care less about the stories (or graphics).
Meh, too much story for me. I know there’s some gameplay, but it’s a lot of walking around while just observing stuff happening, too much for my liking.
When I get a lack of sleep (or especially multiple nights of bad sleep), I often have a splitting headache the next day that makes me unfunctional and worsens until I get more sleep. Other people I’m with have the exact same sleeping routines and never get any headaches, and can still function despite being tired. What’s...
To be honest, I think when it happens it’s too painful for any pain meds to work unless they were super strong like opiates, and even then. Basic pain meds do nothing. Sleep really is the only fix I’ve discovered… also it’s always localised on the right side of my head, never the left.
Thanks for the tips. I think I have lower blood pressure in general, and I get a lot of neck pain. My sleeping position is awkward and I can’t really get to sleep without being in a fetal position, and lying on my left side because lying the other way hurts my neck. That could have something to do with it, I’m not sure.
I’m sorry you were going through that, I take it by your use of past tense you no longer have that issue? If so I don’t suppose you know what could have fixed it? Hope you’re doing better now :)
Appreciate your advice, but sometimes I’d actually rather go on little sleep if I were able to function properly. The pursuit of actually getting proper sleep is sort of a whole different ball game hahah, but sometimes I’d rather not try to if that makes sense, so that I have more hours to get things done.
I’ve always wondered what stomach sleepers do with their face. Like don’t you end up being unable to breathe or rubbing your nose and mouth on the blankets? Also is your neck not crooked to compensate for that?
I wish I were able to sleep on stomach or back so that I could sleep symmetrically, I think it would be better for me if I could fall asleep that way. But the sleep just doesn’t come… unless I’m sideways in a fetal position, and only on one side (left side).
If Anthony Albanese, current prime minister, is in support of and vowed to install the Indigenous Voice advisory board, why can’t he just do it? He also made a comment beforehand that he would respect people’s decision if they vote no, implying that he might be able to override it if he wanted to....
But the Australian people already voted in Anthony Albanese, so whatever he does as the democratically elected leader is basically democratic isn’t it? Why would we need a separate vote for each decision when he could just make those decisions as the elected head of parliament?
(Also I would add that when people chose Anthony Albanese as PM, they would have known he intended to strengthen indigenous representation and rights, so a Yes vote for Anthony was already a yes vote for Indigenous Voice, in my view).

Is there a way to enable in-chat incoming message sounds for Samsung phones?
When inside the chat itself, there is no notification sound for incoming messages. The messages just show visually, with no audio....
Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that?
I get that AMP sites are supposed to load faster. But why do they have to be so ugly?
Or why do they need to change the appearance from the original version of the page at all? It just looks unaesthetic
"There's a thing that I don't know what is" - Is this correct grammar?
How do you say something like that?...
Is there an alternative to saying "so-called" which doesn't suggest potential falsehood?
As we see there are 2 meanings of “so-called” that can be confused or misinterpreted, of which one implies falsehood and the other doesn’t....

What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?
That is, they think all of their decisions were preordained, and then use this to claim that they can’t be held responsible for anything they do.
Is putting on a 'dumb voice' when quoting someone you disagree with actually a form of poisoning the well?
And does this unfairly paint them as less agreeable than they would be if you presented what they said with a normal voice?
