    The S3 was similar in style to the Galaxy Nexus, but the guts were different. The S3 had a Snapdragon S4, which is a decent step up from the TI OMAP in the GNexus. The S3 may be a marginal improvement over your Moto E, but not much. Have tried upgrading the E to Lolipop? Even if you choose to...

    This is one of the reasons that if I eventually replace my 11 year old TV, I will avoid a smart TV if at all possible. I just want it to be a big dumb monitor that I will hook media devices to anyway.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Shorted myself on sleep today to switch over to a daytime schedule for the next week and just as I'm about to go to bed I get called in to work. Bonus rustle: I got to drive in freezing rain to get there.

    Yeah, my Pixel XL has better battery life than any phone I've owed, but I still want more. I want to never have to consider it on a daily basis. Essentially a phone with close to 2 day battery life.

    Security updates are the big thing. Google implementing the security patches that are independent from OS updates was good, but many phones still lag behind on that. I listened to that TWiT just the other day. Scoble was fucking obnoxious on that episode. The AR glasses he kept saying Apple is...

    So far I've done pretty well with rolls. I've got Tiki and 2x Takumi for my 5 stars and Marth, Roy x2, Cain, and Catria. Team is only in the mid 20s right now and I'm not quite halfway through the hard version of the story missions. I figure I'll do one more pull once I get a few more orbs, then...

    Sadly, it's either buy a Pixel or root your phone to get timely android updates. OnePlus hasn't been doing badly, but you still end up waiting at least a few months. The chin is an unfortunate result of Google having all of 9 months to design and have HTC manufature it after the deal with...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    For the love of god Bioware, just don't fuck up the multiplayer. If it's as good as ME3's was, I would consider buying it even if the single player is shit. I know I'll be waiting a bit for proper reviews and what those of you who buy it have to say.

    Fire Emblem Heroes

    If you don't have root access, you can just clear out the app data. Unfortunately this requires you to download the ~400mb patches again. I rerolled a few times and eventually got a 5* Tiki and 4* Roy, so I'm sticking with that. Don't know if friends do anything in game yet, but my friend ID is...

    I had an otterbox on my Evo 4G. It was the middle grade one and it was thick as hell. I bought it mainly because at the time I thought it was the case to buy if you didn't want to break your phone. Glad I'm no longer that ignorant.

    I just got the Pixel XL version of that case and I really like it. It doesn't quite offer as much grip as the cheapass case I had before, but I have never had buttons on a case that feel this good. They are still very clicky, and the power button is nicely textured. It's not a huge deal, but I...

    As much as I would love for AMD to truly be competitive again, I'm going to wait for independent benchmarks before I even consider buying a CPU from them again. It will probably be another year or so before I decide to replace my 2500K anyway.

    I want USB C on everything now that I've used it on my Pixel. Not having to deal with 4 dimensional USB A/B is fantastic. I've had the Pixel since launch and it shows no signs of the plug loosening at all.

    Have they said if this is going to have multiplayer like ME3 did? I'm definitely going to wait for good post launch reviews before I decide if I'll pick it up, but if it has multiplayer that's as good as ME3 i'd buy it even if the single player is shit.

    Fall 2016 Anime Thread

    Season 2 of Ajin is already on Neflix. Much faster than I expected. Hopefully Sato keeps being as ruthless as he was last season. The art in Drifters was especially nice to see. Seemed to be a bit of an improvement over Helsing Ultimate, which was pretty damn good.

    Hopefully it shows up on Netflix soon, as there's nothing on the winter list that grabs my attention. Drifters ended up being my favorite show of the season, with Gundam right behind. The resolution to the goddamn cliffhanger in Gundam could put it over Drifters though. Izetta ended up being...

    Assuming you're talking about the Note 7, it wasn't a discounted upgrade. She was paying for it at full price, just in installments. She considered the Pixel, but decided to wait for the S8.

    My sister got one of those subsidized Blu phones from amazon for $50 as a temporary replacement for her Note 7 while she waits for the S8 next year. She says it's not as bad as you would think a $50 phone would be, but it's still pretty lousy. If you're willing to pay for something in the $400...

The only thing that annoys me is that every time I wake the computer, my taskbar moves back to monitor 1 from monitor 2, where I want it. It's probably something to do...
