  • Nice. I remember playing the three mainline games back in the day. They were all solid, though the first one shows its age with its mechanics.
    The second one had one of the best online co-op multiplayer I’ve ever played. You could play in groups up to 8 (3 different types of soldier to choose from) and the enemies & missions would scale accordingly. In a full group, having 3-4 armored Titans beating down on you from all sides on top of the regular chimera made for some intense fights. I was greatly saddened when their servers shut down; had I known that would eventually happen, I would have made more effort to play it.

    If anything, they should bring that multi-player back.





















  • I feel that. I was rocking an S8 I got Black Friday 2017, but I finally had to upgrade in March to an S23. The battery just couldn’t get through the day anymore and I didn’t want to go through the hassle of swapping the battery myself. I couldn’t ship it somewhere to get it done either as I use it for work purposes.

    I was perfectly content with the S8, otherwise. I could have used it for another 5 years if the battery was easily swappable.

    I’m hoping my S23 will last me another 5.5 years (I enabled battery save mode so it only charges to 85%, which is more than enough for me). And by that point, I hope Fairphone has a flagship that’s good enough to switch to.
