Apparently I don't feel pain like a normal person. The threshold at which discomfort transitions to pain is ridiculously high for me. She was doing stuff that apparently usually makes people shout in pain when they're as tense as I was but all I felt was slight discomfort.
She wanted me to tell her if the level of pain reached like a 7 and the highest it got was like 5.
The massage therapist is the lady who says God gave her the ability to see electricity in people's bodies. I was kind of skeptical at first but she was able to identify a lot of my injuries and my heart problems without being told about them and without even touching me too much at that point.

Well some of the literature I need for my classes. I've -I take a lot of classes on periodic literature so a lot of my reading requires novels. A lot of that I can get from my bookstore's online store.
I'm also picking up The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl since it's the only of Morimi Tomihiko's novels that has been translated into English. Actually Penguin Highway might've as well.
>>770580 We have an audiobook shelf in my store location but it's pretty sparse. It looks like our online selection is less a selection and more a subscription with Rakuten Kobo though. So I'd probably have to go see what they offer to see what the online selection is like.
They seem to have a pretty standard audiobook selection but buying audiobooks by the book seems to be a pretty expensive option. The subscription is 13 CAD a month and gets you a n audiobook credit you can exchange for any book each month. It's not a rental either, once you pick the book it's yours to keep, though I don't know if they let you download the book in full or stream it, the information isn't readily available. They're advertised as good forlong road trips and stuff like that though so I'd imagine being able to download the book in full would be mandatory? At least in Canada the notion of "relying on stable cell connection " and "long road trips" aren't quite agreeable concepts.
But even if you can't get the actualy audio data permanent the twelve dollars a month is pretty decent, at least if you're only getting one audio book a month.

and does your store sell audiobooks too?

I don't have any photos of myself so I can't even finish the precursor work to even test it.
I'm not really comfortable having my picture taken, doubly so when I'm the one doing it so it's real hard. It's so dumb but I don't know how to feel otherwise.
I'm usually the one taking photos but I started taking occasional selfies in an attempt to fit in amongst the normies. All my best photos of me are from Philly 2019, though. I look good in a scarf.

Christianity in America is a contest of who is the best Christian, where the best Christian is typically the biggest liar and thief
I don't use the boorus and similar imagesearch sites much so I'm not really familiar with a good tag. But if you have maybe at least one picture in mind that might satisfy what you're looking for you could see what tags it uses and reverse engineer off that.
ive never used the boorus. im just on pixiv female otaku would probably work yeah
it's weird though. situations like that make my mind kind of go blank, trying to use search engines for something precise
Anno
My problem with search engines is that whenever I try to find something precise to what I'm thinking I never find anything. I'm not really good at broad thinking; I like to zero in on particulars. But those particulars might not be addressed by the tagging system used by the search engine but trying to step back and guess at what broader concepts might still fit the particular I'm thinking about, always short circuits my brain.
what's weird about freelancing is sometimes these projects are previously attempted or partially filled out by someone else prior, and people make the weirdest mistakes. like they follow rules that make sense but apply them in situations where it doesnt, like omitting filler words like "like" and "Kind of" in places where they're being used normally. like "It's a different kind of ____ than i normally use", and someone just assumes that's filler and omits the kind of there
or the project im on, this lady is like "I interviewed him earlier, and I told him what im about to say to you" and someone filled in "I interviewed him earlier, and i told him, "What i'm about to say to you." " like it makes no sense but it's kind of cute in a pathetic sort of way must be non-native speakers doing that stuff

My university's credits system is kind of convoluted with all the mandatory courses that need completion for specific programs but I think I've finally plotted out what I've got and what I need. I took out the course names for a bit of privacy but the darker colours are courses I've completed, the mid tones are ones I'm doing this semester, and the lightest ones are the courses I've got queued up for next sememster. I'm planning on taking up another two courses before next semester starts, which will leave me at the end of year two with fifteen credits left until program completion -- er, seventeen, and then I'm going to try and do some courses over the summer to knock it down to fifteen. Which means bar things going wrong as they usually do, I'll have the program complete in approximately two years from now.
The biggest problem is even with a bit of wiggle room in the upcoming semester I'm fast approaching the point where I'll have to make a final decision between sticking with my English major or changing into the English/Philosophy double. Mostly because if I don't want to take credits that don't go towards the double major I'm going to have to start paying closer attention to what I pick for my semesters. The single English major is easy to pretty much pick whatever you're interested in and accumulate relevant credits but I've kind of already expended most of my opportunities to do that if I want to do the double major.

Oh looks like there's no box, but you buy a controller and a Chromecast dongle.
Anno
You have to buy the games you want to play unless you go with the subscription, but even then it looks like it's just a selection of free games they choose or curate. Well "free", since you're on subscription.
I guess maybe you can sign up for the Stadia service without buying the Stadia purchase? They're not being particularly clear about that.

Yeah, marriage is probably your simplest and most reliable route to permanent residency and then later citizenship. Besides that you'd be going through the standard immigration rigamarole I think, which is a long wait to a lottery for people looking to emmigrate from the States.

There's refugees that have arrived in America through other channels and then continued their trek through the States to reach Canada and have been accepted in. If your case for fleeing America is a similar dire situation then I dunno, might work.
Unfortunately I don't know if systemic economic deprivation would work as a reason for being a refugee from America. You'd probably have to wait until a volcano erupts or climate change makes life untenable.

It's nice that they're putting all this stuff in that current-level consoles can't really keep on level with. Like both Microsoft and Sony's next seem to be talking about really engaging in raytracing but as far as I know neither's current iteration is too good at them in heavy usage. Way too often games are developed for consoles and the PC edition is kind of an afterthought, so it's nice to see that they've gone hard for the PC version. Especially since they can just reduce for the console release.

>>771391 Yeah I'm glad I bought this on PC for sure Considered going console to play with my friends but this one has cross-platform multiplayer though I seem to only see PC players on the 10v10 gamemodes that might be special to PC or something I really doubt they could be pushing this kind of graphics on even the xbonex, even disregarding that ray tracing straight up isn't a thing for consoles. probably the first time I noticed RTX making a big difference in a game too the lighting is so much better with it on still not quite a raytracing worshipper but it's made a clear advantage now that I've seen it in action and done well at least
>>771392 I used to play CoD Black Ops on the PS3 a lot with my friends forever and an eon ago since then I've only played CoD:Ghosts (which I got for free) and Black Ops 4 (which didn't even have a real fucking single player and was so broken with the multiplayer unlocks it wasn't even fun) The Beta made it out to seem like it was a pretty balanced and fun experience except there were basically no other maps that weren't in the beta or lifted from previous games and the other unlocks you could get were so fucked up and broken it was unplayable for me
This one is way better so far, there's a ton of maps and the guns are fairly balanced and the amount of customization you can do to the individual guns is very deep Only gun I've found so far that seems a bit OP is the MP5 but it's got huge weaknesses outside of it being amazing at close range and fast The maps are also fairly interesting, all of them are new maps and they vary in design incorporating many types of environments so you can feasibly find close quarters, mid-range, or open areas on pretty much any of the maps to take advantage of your loadout's strengths.
All in all it's good. Fun game and the first one I've heard was actually really good from my friend that plays every single iteration of this franchise on launch since... Well, since Black Ops, lol.

so long as you enjoy Brutalist architecture and psychological problems
I'll make a special exception for Mirror's Edge and similar styled buildings though since they made their brutalist buildings really colorful and bright with primary colors everywhere.
Anno
I'm curious about Control but it got an Epic Games exclusive release and I'm refusing to engage in their storefront. So I'll file it away for when I get a PS5 as a good pick up for that platform.
Samu π¦ !KW2DbpWwls
mirrors edge aint brutalist like Control is brutalist oh boy
>>771408 How so? Mirror's edge really downplayed the intersecting geometry for sure, but that might have made it even more confusing than it already fucking is to platform in first person >>771407 Oh god dammit. I really don't want to have to get another mother fucking digital game delivery platform. I already have fucking steam, Origin, Ubisoft, etc.
Samu π¦ !KW2DbpWwls
ME at least has the bright colors and glass and light everywhere whereas Control is entirely indoors and 80s and destructible concrete exploding into wispy smoke
The Mandalorian is pretty fun. Good space western bounty hunting bonanza.
>>771409 Well you've got a PS4, right? It should be released for that platform. Sorry by exclusive I meant for the PC. It's also available for PS4 and Xboner
>>771411 Well yeah, I have two PS4s actually, since I'm a sony fanboy. But I was told this game had awesome raytraced lighting and that's why I was interested in it. There wouldn't be any raytracing on either of my PS4s.
Maybe on the PS5 Pro or whatever if that rumored dual launch model is true. >>771410 >destructible environment Okay Mr. Red Faction you have sold me. Can you collapse structures and stuff like Guerilla or nah?
Anno
I just really loathe Epic Games' "We'll literally throw money at you until you make your game only available for PC on our marketplace" strategy of creating exclusivity.
FormerRei@mobile
>>771413 Yeah I'm pissed about that. I'm normally for diversity in markets because thats usually good for consumers but since its locked to accounts having a steam account and an epic storefront account is a bigger liability. Because then you can get both your profiles Wait I'm not making sense
>>771413 Valve did the same thing with steam to get it off the ground except the financial benefit was leveraged in the form of pre-packaged multiplayer/physics/meta-game tools they would give to you "for free" if you published exclusively on their service. Only difference is they were trying to build up a system nobody had done before by encouraging developers with free useful frameworks to help develop their game. Whereas Epic/Ubisoft/EA don't give a fucking shit about your game they'll give you some monies if you publish through their platform though. >>771414 Steam is good for consumers in a way that any given online distribution is good, like you can install your games anywhere on any machine without the disc and have easy friends lists, built in chat, etc. It's also bad because you can't take a game you bought like when my dad bought Quake 3 and install it on over 10 machines and play it together because that shit is all tied to one account. You can share your games and let other people play them but you can't play with them at the same time and shit. Your game that you bought isn't even actually yours, and also it's not even really a game. It's a license to download a game to one account and if steam dies (unlikely but rhetorical) then your "games" don't fucking exist anymore.
EA and Ubisoft and Epic taut all the same weaknesses of steam but also have even more annoying shit surrounding them and only grow more difficult to use as more of these companies make their own platform. Steam was great because the benefit outweighed the deficiencies of just buying a disc at the store. These auxillary clients don't have that, even ignoring that origin spies on you and ubisoft hogs resources like shit.
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways Steam and epic are both anti consumer But I'd rather keep dealing with steam than dealing with both
Anno
More recently too I've seen instances of Epic offering an exclusivity deal to indie developers and after the dev turns it down, refuses to allow the dev to release the game on their storefront unless the dev takes the exclusivity deal.
Combined with all the other issues the Epic Games storefront has it just makes me really disinclined to want to use it. I'm all for competition and removing the near-monopoly Steam has on PC game storefronts but if you're not going to make an actually good service and just drive demand for your storefront by throwing money at the problem, I'm not motivated to use it, and you just make me more annoyed with you because of this forced exclusivity.
>>771416 Rather just go back to the days when I could take my games to my friend's house to install them for him and then we could play together and then valve would release a new fucking game L M A O >>771417 pretty cheeky of Epic to think anyone's voluntarily using their fucking platform >hey sell your game on my platform exclusively! I'll give you 10 thousand dollars >"uh no thanks i would rather reach a 90% larger userbase with steam and CD keys" >WOW OK FUCK YOU BITCH YOU'RE NEVER ALLOWED ON MY GHETTO LAUNCHER AGAIN
I straight up believe Fortnite's gonna die in like 5 years as all shooters do and Epic will have nothing lol they haven't actually mad // made a good game since the fucking 90s
Anno
Maybe that's why they're so desperate to make themselves into a games marketplace. Making good games is hard, they can just delegate that to the people that they get to sell on their marketplace.
Samu π¦ !KW2DbpWwls
they make a mean game engine but it took them a LONG time before Fortnite was a thing
>>771420 maybe but i really think it's not going to work unlike valve who had several groundbreaking games and broke ground in the digital delivery niche, literally creating it in the process they have nothing to offer except money and they had no fucking money before fortnite microtransactions took off. They should go back to being a company eking by with sales of their engines and developing their unreal engine. This shit isn't going to work over a long time. People talk too much and strong arming developers only makes them hate you. Fortnite money won't keep them alive forever and they have nothing else to fall back on, since the engine that kept them alive is fucking free now.
FormerRei@mobile
>>771421 I really like their engine I also really hate Unity.
>>771428 Yes, they do. It's 5% on gross sales over $3000 per fiscal year. Say you sell 10 fucking million copies of a big name triple A title in a whole year. Fucking awesome sales there. Unreal gets like 25-30 million from that. Epic has 1000-3500 employees depending on who your data comes from. That's $12,000 per employee given 2500 headcount. In a fucking year. Assuming you have sold ten million fucking copies of a $60 game. You would need four of those games to make more money than I do working at fucking 7-Eleven and doing odd jobs.
That's not sustainable. Most of the games using the engine celebrate breaking 100k sales at like $10-$30 on launch.
I could probably look at the 50 or so games using it and take the math further but you probably get the point by now. They are throwing money around like they have no fear. They have nothing if Fortnite fails. It wouldn't even support their current infrastructure. They're fucking crazy!
FormerRei@mobile
>>771429 Wow That's a lot less than I expected I expected like 10-20%
>>771422 Gabe Newell had some really good relative musings about this kind of stuff way back in 2012 or something.
I've been seeing it pop up a lot with all the chatter over the new Pokemon games too.
People think it's easy to make a quick profit off of acting like this on the Internet -- and in fairness, it is. But if you look to the long-term these kinds of mentalities never really pay off.
Anno
>>771429 I would argue they're throwing the money around so much precisely because they're fearful. All that money will dry up quick once the revenue streams are gone. Better to use it now while they still have it to secure new means of constantly bringing in more money.
>>771429 This is also making the extremely ignorant assumption that Epic divvies up their proceeds evenly. They obviously don't, of course, but those are more assumptions I don't want to make. The math is already unfavorable enough to assume they can support themselves with UE royalty proceeds, it's a little pointless to go any further. Fortnite is the most profitable game in the world. Right now. As of mid-2018. There were many before it and there will be many more. But they don't appear to have a reasonable plan for after it wanes. >>771431 Valve knows what they're fucking doing of course. They're still insanely powerful, constantly profitable, and work on their own development with zero worry about getting the product released and selling and making a living another day. I'd say it's made them complacent as a developer of video games but as a business they are basically unstoppable at this point. It definitely shows considering they take a fucking 30% cut from gross profit on Steam sales and still are the go-to platform to publish anything on.
Also I don't remember the technicalities but I think they offer some special deal to people using the Unreal engine that release on the Epic Games storefront. Like they'll take less of their cut if the sales on your games are coming through the EGS.
Anno
From the first two episodes of The Mandalorian, it seems pretty fun. Definitely hearkens back to the classic space-western-y feel that was in some of the original trilogy. It's a series that feels very much like it's in the Star Wars universe and also just looks really clean. Wherever feasible it seems like they've used physical FX rather than CGI and it helps a lot with making the visuals be real. And there's a fun balance between corny and actually pretty decent cinematography too.
>>771435 i'm excited to see it and the grand finale of the new(est) trilogy tbh found them to be pretty dang fun

The new Halo collection that's coming to PC has a kind of interesting way of releasing the games. They're releasing them separately, over a period of time, but instead of going Halo, Halo 2, etc., they're releasing them in the chronological events of the game. ... Which really doesn't mean that much to the release schedule, just that Reach is the first game they're releasing before slipping back into the normal numbered structure. But it's still a kind of weird thing to do.

>>771507 FYI, it bricks your switch and your sdcard if you have online turned on Part of the way online works in it involves a lot of writing to the sitch's *switch's SSD (or whatever type of solid state storage it uses) and it erites so much that the sd runs out of writes
>>771527 probably untrue considering i know a lot of people playing it online
FormerRei@mobile
>>771529 Well I'll tell the person I heard that from its not tue *true
Anno
>>771529 There is however, a noted bricking problem that Sword/Shield has been having in regards to how it writes data to the Switch's SSD. The problem is that it's been difficult to pinpoint; some people said it was because of the auto-save function being turned on, then others followed up with saying they were getting the problem without having the auto-save enabled.
Kirara ππ€‘

prollya rare hardware error some eu ps3 mpdels heated up and fries up real quick while otherds have no issues

It seems the consensus is that the cause is using an exFAT formatted memory card rather than a FAT32 one. Okay sorry I'll shut up then.
Kirara ππ€‘
virtually nobody is even talking about it in the replies to the pokemon official twitter tweets
>>771535 i'm not saying it doesn't exist, i'm saying it's probably extremely rare and not actually a problem with the game
FormerRei@mobile
It's too early to sort out the real cause from the bullshit.
Anno
>>771539 It's a problem with the game because the game has a much higher regularity of auto-saves than other games for the Switch. The problem I was trying to talk about above is a consistent problem with the Switch but Sword/Shield has a much higher risk of triggering it because of the amount of auto-saves it executes.
i really wonder if game consoles still corrupt saves if you turn them off halfway thru saving
i would have thought they save the old and new saves, well, 3 copies really, but idk all these games still say "do not turn off while saving" and i'm like pls
!C0.PerkELE
>>771543 so why is it standard in so many cards and externals?
also a pure guess, but prolly how it is built as in you van't remove anything from it

does it have an SD slot? but probably because ninty would have patched whatever low level exploit previously used by the OG hack

Well there's some internal stuff that can be fixed between hardware models to solve workarounds. We saw this with all the PSP models that they put out over its lifetime. Hacks that worked for the earlier PSP models, like 1xxx and 2xxx, don't work for the later ones.
Kirara ππ€‘
>>771541 the second japanese tweet there isn't saying their switch is bricked, just that they got an error they posted about them continuing to play the game after they made that tweet the first english tweet had a hacked version or something, they were tampering with the game idk

then what's the error then though?? i thought it bricked the switch it ia deleting the SD card contents?
FormerRei@mobile
There's a really funny story about how this became my main browser. Basically what happened was firefox was originally my main browser on here but one day after an update it crashed really hard, probably because of an add on But I couldn't disable tge add ons And pages wouldn't load This would be easily resolvable if I were on a pc because firefox on a regular computer has safe mode. But firefox mobile does not. So I ended up switching to a firefox fork. Then at some point I could use that firefox again but I'm too lazy to move all my tabs over because I have way too many.
>>771568 or is that where they add a final touch fpr "made in japan"?
Samu π¦ !KW2DbpWwls
well maybe but more crucially its where the Toads live and work
Anno
The actual consoles might've been assembled in Japan, haven't looked into it. But a lot of the components will have come from standard points of origin for hardware manufacturing like China. For example when the Switch was first coming out there was a drought of the CPU chips it uses because the factory in China couldn't keep up with the demand that Nintendo was adding to the demand already present by Apple and Samsung for the CPUs they needed for their phones.
!C0.PerkELE
they do make or atleast designed the cpu i think i resd while looking into the switch hack just now

Dating is pretty hard since I'm not a normie. I can pass as a normie, but I can't keep up that mask with someone I'm hoping to have a relationship with. I can ease them into it, but it's kind of a pain.
And everyone is obsessed with smoking pot or drinking. Every normie's personality is smoking pot now.
Maybe I should try attending AA meetings or something.
It's hard to find quality people who aren't normies because like me primarily work low wage dead-end jobs and where I am in terms of professional success, everyone is a normie. If I want someone with similar interests to me, I have to date down, but I don't have any exposure to those people because of where I am professionally. It's quite the conundrum.

>>771718 Even if she felt like she couldn't oppose her father, she could have communicated with me without him knowing or something. I don't know. I don't get it. It's unreasonable and unfair.
I think that if you really love someone, you find a way.
Well that's in part the goal. I'm only on a seasonal contract that run out at the end of January. I need regular work though so them wanting to keep me on after that will be nice.
!C0.PerkELE
hope you get it renewed or something i've mever had luck with extensions on year end comtracts
Anno
From some probing questions I've asked, the store chain I'm working for likes to use these seasonal pick-ups to replenish the employees they lose throughout the year. And my store in particular is working with a bit of a skeleton crew of normal employees because it went through renovations last year that had them cut loose a lot of employees they literally didn't have space for. But there's apparently also some weird corporate stuff involving scheduling hours that is dependent on the store's profitability from the year previous, of which this store's was kind of low ... because of the renovations, hah hah.
So it feels like it'll be a toss-up maybe. So the best I can do is just work hard and enthusiastically.
>>771720 Well, I can't say I know the answer regarding her but I can tell you I've had relationships blow up because I was too weak to act despite having feelings.

>>771724 book store skeletons wasn't there an anime about this
>>771729 But then why did she want to marry me? If she wasn't thinking about the future what was the point of it all? To slum it up with a poor person?
I'm still waiting to hear back about that research job at the library I think the interview went well But they said they'd call within two weeks It's been two and a half.
It won't be the end of the world if ii don't get it but it would be a good job to have.
>>771730 Hmm, I think she wanted to marry you because she wanted to continue to be with her. One of the things I don't understand about her is why she got weird about marriage later.
>>771732 It sure doesn't seem like she wanted stay with me. She told me she'd be gone for a few weeks, but then she just got a job and all that.
She probably just got tired of living in a run down apartment with a guy living off student loans. Even though I'm about to be a doctor who will have money.
I wish I had some better answers for you. Try not to be too bitter at her though, I think she is/was just weak and confused other than malicious or duping you. Girls are very difficult creatures.
>>771735 It's hard to not be bitter about it. I really got the short end of the stick. That was a two year relationship that she just ghosted! I could have been out there working on a relationship that would actually end in marriage with kids or whatever.
>>771737 It's pretty demoralizing, you know? I've almost gotten married twice and lost it both due to what seems like bad RNG. And there was even a miscarriage. I've wanted to start a family for a long time. I mean, the reason I worked so hard to get myself flying straight was to do that!
It's just really hard. Modern society is to blame. It's hard for people to get together. Our ancestors were long married by the time they were at the points in their lives that we are now.
Anno
Yeah but they were also dying not long after the points in their lives that we are at now.
i spent six years with a girl i was going to start a family with, and when we made our big move out to san francisco that we had been planning for so long, she started swaying. i think there's something about moving and starting a new chapter that makes people yearn for something different or to shed things that are too familiar.
Reports regarding life expectancies of people who lived in the past are a little overstated. They were overall shorter than they are today, but lots of people lived to be good and old during those days too.
Interestingly, life expectancy has actually been going down over the past couple of decades...
Well with the way things are going, society could collapse. There's always hope.

tfw want cutie vaguely but not interested in babby
Anno
I'm sure there'll always be some kind of society to get in your way.
!PAN/yhxnGc
where would we live without a society, after all
!C0.PerkELE
wars, infant deaths, and child deaths push the statistics of Γ₯ast life expectancies down by a lot especislly tge kid deaths

>>771749 Maybe the future will have us all isolated in our own immersive VR pods with the process of exchanging and incubating genetic material all handled automatically.
I bought the remastered Doom on steam cus it was only about $10 And i never played it But holy shit it's like a 70GB download How is it so big Witcher 3 is like 30 gigs and that's a gigantic open world
Anno
The classic Doom or the more recent iteration? I think the new Doom downloads a bunch of community maps or something that really bloats the download on PC.
Maybe there's a way to get it without that stuff then I just want the single player
Anno
Oh sounds like it might be uncompressed textures instead.
It's funny, the game's like a third of the size of PC release if you get it on the Switch. Not that it's something you could do to resolve your problem it's just kind of funny.
Anno
For once the quality of PC gaming kinda comes 'round to bite in the ass.

Yeah. Hilarious

I guess the move is to download it, beat it, then uninstall

>>771807 It gets below zero at night here. Besides, 10C is perfect hoodie weather. >>771808 Yeah same. Although not old and slow enough quite yet to justify buying a new one. >>771809 I don't know but we need to kick those Commies out of Vietnam
The battery in my phone is starting to get a bit unmanageable. It lasts maybe five hours on a full charge with moderate usage, less in this frigid weather. Once the battery UI reads 30% charge it might as well be at 1%. I could get the battery replaced but since I don't intend to use this phone forever it just feels like a sunk cost. So I'm hoping there's a decent sale on one of the few phones I'd be interested in upgrading to around Black Friday this year.
watchin norman reedus and the funky fetus is givin me an idea >>771814 time to start // kickstart a phone incubator that keeps it toasty and charges it

>>771808 if you can save your data somewhere a factoty reset helps a lot if the battery is dying welp
Yeah, my battery is not in good shape anymore. I carry a little portable battery charger unit for it.
I've used the phone probably three years now anyway, about time for a new one.
Anno
Yeah that's about the length I've had mine. ... Actually it might be more like almost four? I got it during Boxing Day sales, had it for the first Philly Trip which was in 2016 I think? So I've have owned it for four years by the end of this year.
Though honestly that's still a weak-ass length to own a device.
Probably one of the Pixel phones. Ideally the 3a XL but I'd need to get it through an indirect buyer since they're not sold directly through my cell provider. The Pixel 4 is coming out soon so I'm hoping it'll push the 3a XLs on a good sale for Boxing Day. In lieu of that I might settle for the Pixel 4 if they go on sale too? I doubt they'll be for a decent price considering they're not -considering they've only recently been released.
I just have liked my time with the Nexus 6p so I'd be happy with another Google brand phone. Also compared to a lot of the other Android mainstays like Samsung the install bloat on Google phones have generally been lightweight and I'm not too excited about settling with Huawei with how they keep stock of data for the CCP.
That's interesting you say that because I was thinking about getting something Google for my next phone for that exact reason. I'm completely over all the useless bloatware that comes with Samsung.
FormerRei@mobile
My biggest issue with the pixel phones is that there's no microsd support
Anno
>>771824 Yeah, I've got a Samsung tablet that has all that junk on it and it really ruins the UX for me. I had a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which was kind of like a merging point between the Samsung Galaxy line and the Google Nexus line for my first phone and it was pretty nice, so I know it's not a problem with Samsung's hardware. But their bloatware obsession really annoys me.
