In case you didn't know already... you can usually turn off the "clouds" layer and volumetric shader clouds will still work so you don't get disparate cloud styles on your game.
They finally nuked the "special" widget section on the left fully... which screwed up a couple useful widgets that I was using and haven't found a replacement for... so that sucks.
New homescreen positioning is cool, but breaks one of the workarounds I was using without a replacement either (smart stack with a background that made them invisible until I scrolled them). Minor thing, but annoying. We can position icons slightly better now... but I still can't have 5 items in my dock? I still can't have different grid sizes? I still can't add custom icons? Sad.
No more mandatory camera app on lockscreen? nice. Hasn't been needed in forever... even less with the newer models having a hardware button.
Drag n drop for control center? Better late than never. Hate the round icons though... I like squarcles. When I still had an android and they tried to move to circles for everything, I applied a custom icon set to make them revert. Dislike the circles. Also the fact that the larger size is still a squarcle... makes it mismatched and stupid looking.
Like always... feels like a step forward and a step back. :/
Did they try offering a $10 gift card to the other companies? "hah psyche!"
Oldest game I've actually played this year would probably be a bit of Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar, 1985.
Yeah…. Anything these guys make… I’m here for it.
“The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”
Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.
Yeah we’re like super serious about privacy so we require you to make you’re account based on a unique, hard to change, personally identifiable, insecure data point and require you to show it to everyone you talk to. The fact that they’re only now starting to test hiding your phone number is beyond asinine. Any arguments signal has about security I might listen to but their concept of privacy is laughable.
As far as I know there is no issue with legality. I don't remember the specifics at this point. I believe the psobb setup was a free download for the client and what they did was rewrote the server side so it was their own software. As far as the IP art, music, etc. IDK 100%.
I will say it has been going for nearly 15 years and widely publicized and sega hasn't ever tried to do anything to shut it down. I believe it's in some kind of loop hole where running the server is legal, and using the client is legal for PSO:BB, but for v1, v2, and I & II version you would still need to have a legit copy for maximum legality. So if you just want to play the game... PSO:BB using their modified client / server setup is a good way to do it... plus it looks nice in HD. There are other servers besides schthack, that's just the one I used way back in the day and they're still around.

Frequently you can get discount codes from the creators on there. I think I paid $20 this year.
