Nova Launcher, KWGT widgets, gold leaf icon pack

I change my wallpaper like once a week but this is what I have on now

Kind of a typical response, but my android’s custom os. I think the OnePlus 8t is fantastic, BUT specifically thinking of the custom rom (Nameless13) I installed on it to replace OOS

I’m not that old, but I still came from flip phones and nokias, so the amount of evolution is incredible

I like this custom rom so much because as a tech savvy user, I can have it do whatever I want. It has an insane amount of QOL features, fantastic support team, better battery life, better responsiveness and energy usage, frequent and reliable updates, devs pushing out good features that users actually want, no bloatware ads or BS, a ridiculous amount of options and customization, and full control. The only single drawback was the stress and effort of learning how to install a custom rom, but it felt extremely rewarding and as someone in IT, it’s something good to learn. Plus having super nice and helpful support team and users both, made it way easier

I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it’s more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the “end answer” with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

That’s why, I personally think AI search engine won’t be the best all-rounder for all types of information that’s not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn’t work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better

Yea, I sort of agree - that’s kind of why I think that doing research yourself by looking across dozens of sources, posts, and comments, then making your own judgment call is the way. Idk I guess maybe it’s just my experience, but I usually find that a comment with misinformation is downvoted to oblivion with responses as to why it’s wrong, and the most helpful solution is usually upvoted, with replies like “you’re a life saver” or “this is the real answer. thank you!!”. Obviously I don’t mean like 100% of content is like this, there will be bad content everywhere, but I take every solution with a grain of salt while looking at other solutions, and decide for myself (or maybe I misunderstood you lol)

There are sooooooo many times, way more than I can count, that I had an INCREDIBLY niche problem (usually tech related) and bam, someone on reddit had the same issue, and either figured it out & posted the solution, or the wack solution is in the comments. I never ever find this information on other random articles or “official help threads”. This happened so much that I didn’t google a single piece of information without adding “reddit” to it

I feel like AI would be better for simple things like an excel formula, or ordinary information? For now, at least. But, I am trying to learn more about this subject and truly see the legitimate capabilities of AI

Then again, what do I know lol

Sorry for the wall - In my opinion and experience, it certainly can be. And considering how flawless the action combat is, I think just the pure enjoyment from that is more worth it than people give credit for - at least giving it a chance. I originally played from 2013-2016 and then returned again from 2020-2022. The catch up was extremely easy (they handed out gear packages for the “base new content”, but I was already level 80 so the tedious leveling was already done)

When I came back, I had actually played some of the new characters as alts for fun, so I started from level 0 - then took them all to 70-80, and some 85-90. So I got a taste of how leveling was

This is also in the guide, but there is quite a lot you can do that adds up to help leveling go pretty damn quick. It’s very brainless and easy though, no challenge - so I understand how it could be difficult for anyone to go through that. Just a guess, I think it took me like 10 hours max to get to 80?

Since the RISE update, 0-60 (or 70 or 80?) became the new “tutorial”

I’m not sure I understand what you mean about undodgable damage sources all over the place. I don’t recall anything being super difficult except for Redeemers, which are already way more forgiving than mechs in Lost Ark. I had a lot of fun in and don’t particularly remember current raids being bullshit, except for the tiny ass hitbox bitches for my xgun Kai lol

edit: took out some rambling :)
