If you're open to trying fantasy (not far off from sci-fi), the Redwall series might be of interest.

Although it was originally aimed at young teens, it's a very enjoyable series for adults too. Some of the best writing I have ever come across.

Good luck with your search!

I guess this has been going on for some time and not only on iPhone but also Android.

I'm not liking the way things are going with mobile. Tracking, ads and now bloody AI everywhere.

I don't think anyone wants AI enhanced photos and all that crap.

I was looking at phone shops the other day, and all you can buy (mainstream) is Apple and Samsung. Different shops stock a variety of other brands, such as Sony (what's left of it) Motorola and Xiaomi here and there.

There is no variation, everything looks the same and they're not being challenged. Mobile is now officially boring.

We need a new platform again to challenge the status quo. It was a real shame that Microsoft messed up Windows phone. WP8 was the best operating system in my opinion. Unfortunately no support from developers killed it (and later by Microsoft messing it up with Windows 10)...

I was interested in Beeper until I saw that it was run by the guy who ran Pebble.

Massive red flag for me. This'll be abandoned just like he did Pebble...

FlorisBoard | FOSS keyboard that respects your privacy in c/[email protected]

The other problem with FOSS keyboards is that development always dies off with no more updates.

This makes it a non starter for me

Diablo 4 Twitch viewership continues to drop as Diablo 3 overtakes it in c/[email protected]

[–] sayitghoul 6 points 9 months ago

The short and sweet answer is that it's just not Diablo. It does not compare with any of the previous Diablo releases in the slightest. It might as well be a generic mobile game like immortal...

The 26-year-old Quake 2 just got the remaster of my dreams, plus a big expansion in c/games

Same here. Quake 3 railgun only on TDM17. Still play it sometimes for fun. I used to be crazy good at it, not so much anymore unfortunately 😞

Played the campaign last night and got reminded of the enemies that would fall to the floor and still shoot you. That was my biggest annoyance with quake 2 and still is 😂 what an amazing game though
