I save to disk, no one thinks about it until we’re all camping and I’m the only one that decides how many times we’re gonna watch Lord of the Rings this weekend.
My favorite mobile game is “Accessibility”
I’ve drunkenly managed to turn on it reading out my key presses and some other weird accessibility setting. For the life of me couldn’t turn it off, we had three people all super drunk trying to figure out how to stop my phone from yelling numbers and letters. It was fun until I managed to get my phone locked with too many failed attempts.
That is hilarious!
I’ve actually played around in the settings after someone pointed out the magnifier that’s hidden in there, which has been a blessing for reading those evil sites that use code to disable the “force pinch to zoom” accessibility feature in my browser. (I have impaired vision.) There are definitely some settings in accessibility that are way beyond my needs though lol
I’m an old millennial that downloads and keep what I like. It took so long to download anything on dial-up that the habit was to keep everything for later.
And then because I go camping and cycling in places without network coverage, I took the habit of copying a few hundred of MP3s and a few dozen episodes of cartoons on my phone. That way I have some entertainment even when I’m in a forest without network coverage.
I still can’t understand people streaming music on their phones, music that they probably are going to listen and download again and again and again instead of only once. Why not keep it instead of constantly using bandwidth for the same thing over and over?
Same with watching stuff. Your favorite paid streaming service may eventually decide to remove a series you like, or miss a few seasons. That’s if it’s not on another streaming service. Like, I know I’ll watch and rewatch again episodes of the Simpsons, so I download them. It only consumes bandwidth once and can watch it on repeat whenever I want, even without internet.
You can still pay for stuff, but don’t use the DRM ridden streams that can disappear or can’t be accessed without internet… pay for it if you wish but then, pirate and download a version you can keep.
Or I’m just old and living through “bandwidth scarcity” and really owning stuff left its mark on me.
Same here dude. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on a road trip or out camping and someone has a Bluetooth speaker with no music because they don’t have signal. I keep a few songs on my phone for just that occasion.
What do you mean ‘no internet’ ?
Turn down your brightness, your poor eyes
I’ve accidentally discovered cool features this way.
yes, YES, YES
This is why the android Easter egg should always be a minigame and not just a sprite that changes colours when you tap it.
I just fire up my DS emulator and listen to songs inside a game.
I should download some music.
I keep a mini (~100) epub/pdf library on my phone for those occasions.
This reminds me of having a palm pilot as a teenager. It played mp3s, and had pdfs, but otherwise you could only take notes and fiddle with settings. I read all of the origonal halo books off of it.
