  • A lot of the games you tried are on gamepass, including hitman world of assassination.
    There are some others aswell, like Aragami 2, sniper elite and plague tale.Might be worth just trying gamepass for 10€ for a month or to see if you can buy a trial key for cheap somewhere, to test the games.

    Another game I can recommend but it is a bit different genre is Outlast:Trials. It is a stealth game but if you fail you have to escape and hide. Though this game is pretty explicit with nudity, violence and gore




  • I don’t plan on going back since I just can’t condone how Reddit management handled the whole issue, but there is one thing I wonder why it is not a possible solution for 3rd party apps:

    Wouldn’t it be possible to ask the userbase to just get the API key themselves?
    If every user of a 3rd party app has their own API key, they won’t have to pay anything won’t they, since it will be hard to reach the free tier limit.
    And even if a user does reach the limit he can get a couple thousands API calls for just a small number of cents.

    Reddit will be still getting the same number of API calls, but it won’t be the responsibility of the 3rdparty dev but on each user if the limit is reached


  • The battery life is incredible for me (~72h max) and don’t think I ever experienced any lag.

    I think it is probably only a small number of people that have the battery issues and posted online since the ones with working phones won’t post about that. Could be a software issue (Network reconnecting? Battery not properly calibrated?). Anyway this should be fixable by RMA on the off chance that it does happen to you.


  • I am really happy with my Asus Zenphone 9. The best feature is the long battery life. If i wanted i could use the phone for ~72h, though I usually charge it to 80% and charge the phone every 2 days instead.

    The Battery Life was my main buying point, the aux and smaller size were important though too.
    It also has an actual gimble for camera stabilisation in the lense instead of the typical stabilization through a sensor, though i guess it is more of a gimmick. I myself don’t take that many action shots where this could be useful, so I can’t really give any info if it is better than the usual way of stabilization.
    Since it is an Asus phone I think it also is pretty powerful and power efficient for mobile gaming if that interests you (I don’t care about that).

    End of this Month they will also reveal the Zenphone 10, so maybe this might also be a possible phone to check out. I bought mine also directly release last year since I was looking for a new phone around that time. It was bundled with a chromebook that I was able to resell so it was a nice deal in comparison to other comparable phones.






  • Having a news article finally promote a fediverse instance is a win in my book.

    Only issue is that lemmy and kbin should have still been mentioned as a whole, especially since registering to beehaw seems to take some time.

    Another non federated alternative that seems to have some traction with reddit refugees is squabbles. Sad that it didn’t get mentioned since it also reached ~17k users. This could end up a good alternative for people that find the fediverse too complicated. Though i myself prefer kbin so far.
