If you have a Switch and a TV, I'd recommend trying out Ring Fit!
That game has been my primary fitness source since 2020. It makes the exercises very approachable, and also engaging. You really don't need any prior exercise experience to hop in and play it, and it'll help ensure you get a well rounded workout in.
I played this for PC, it's a fun little short adventure but nothing too ambitious. It's less than 4 hours and ultimately is mostly fetch and delivery requests. The characters are cute and the environment is calming, so I still enjoyed the experience overall.
Would love to see this added to Boost.
I used Sync while waiting for Boost to be ready, and really grew to like the swipe voting, but overall prefer Boost.
I've been using Sync while waiting for Boost and I've come to really like the feature that allows you to upvote posts by slightly swiping left on the post. Would love to see that adopted by boost!
It's pretty uneventful. I had surgery earlier this year and was put under. I recall them hooking up the IV, waiting 5-10 minutes, then coming back to wheel me into the OR. They had me transfer into the operating table, and I remember looking up at the bright lights and the surprising amount of people in the room for my basic surgery, and then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in my bed a couple hours later. I didn't feel groggy, it just felt like waking up from a deep sleep where you don't dream at all. Time passes in an instant.
I'd just look into getting a third party modern bracelet that matches the style as best as possible. Somewhere like Strap Code or Uncle Seiko might have what you'd want.
I've been using a Z Fold 4 for about a year, since launch. This is my first foldable, and it'd honestly be difficult for me to go back to a standard slab phone.
I love how multitasking is actually an enjoyable, functional experience on a foldable. I love having a large display for consuming content. The larger internal display really ups the threshold for "Okay, I need a computer for this", since I can load desktop sites and it be usable.
Granted, it isn't perfect. I do still have concerns about durability, despite the fact thaty Fold has taken a few nasty falls and come out unscathed, it is of course still possible to break. For the first time, I have insurance on a phone due to durability.
The outer display is functional, but it's quite narrow. This leads to some apps not loading properly on the outer display, and a bit of a cramped keyboard. You do get used to it, but I'd prefer a larger external display like the wider display of the Pixel Fold.
The biggest short coming for foldables is apps. While most apps function just fine, some really don't. Instagram is a great example of one that performs poorly on both the external and internal displays. Some apps have tablet interfaces that launch on the inner display, but most don't. Most apps are just a blown up version of the standard phone interface. There are other weird app quirks like how my bank app will only let me use fingerprint to sign in when it's launched on the external display, not the internal. The app situation I think will get better with time as foldables become more widespread, but it is a frustration for now.
The final shortcoming is the size and weight of these phones. With a case on, the Fold 4 is a pretty substantial phone on your pocket. It's heavy, thick, and the first few weeks with it you'll really notice the size and weight. Foldables are trending thinner and lighter, but more progress needs to be made here.
Anyways, all this to say - I ultimately love my foldable phone and have been very satisfied. It's expensive, but if you have the means and the interest in one, I doubt you'd be disappointed. Just keep the shortcomings in mind.
There's a light overarching story, but you don't really need to play all 3 previous Pikmin games. I also think that only Pikmin 3 is available on Switch, not 1 & 2.
You can look up a brief synopsis of the storylines in the previous games, but the story is pretty simple in all of them.
That's interesting. I've had a few communities show as "pending", but they still appear under my subscriptions view on my home page.
It's just a UI bug. You're subscribed. Probably doesn't help lemmy has been overwhelmed by new users and activity.
I'm imagining there will be a free and pro versions where the pro offers additional features for purchasing.
Petition to bring back full qwerty portrait oriented keyboard sliders like this. I miss this hardware style.
