  • I thought it was good after I turned the difficulty down to easy. I finished 2 playthroughs of the original on ultra-hard, so I dunno why but the combat was just not fun at all.

    Not sure why you had trouble seeing things, I thought everything was pretty clear, only 1 or 2 times where I got lost on where to go next.

    Honestly I went in hoping for more of the first game which is probably why I ended up disappointed in some aspects.







  • Assuming you aren’t going hiking in some remote place where you could end up somewhere with shitty sky visibility (for GNSS satellites), it’s pretty hard not to get a decent position. Even cheap GNSS receivers can get like 1.2m RMS positioning with just 1 band.

    I can really only speculate, but my running theory (and I must emphasize, I am really pulling this out of my ass), is that the location updating stuff doesn’t trigger while your phone isn’t being used (i.e. you leave your phone in your bag all day, it doesn’t do much location updating, but if you are browsing Hexbear on it all day, it updates more frequently).

    The reason I think this is because I’ve noticed on days I’ve been really busy at work, my shared location doesn’t seem to get updated as much (not that it matters given I’m in the same place). Honestly power settings and if apps can run in the background seems to be very inconsistent across different phones and I swear it doesn’t work 90% of the time so I might just be seeing patterns that don’t exist.




  • Not that I disagree, but in my experience, the little displays that tell you what you’re ordering (and how much it costs) are rarely used, and the worker on the other side often doesn’t tell you how much it is until you get to the window to pay. So if you frequent a place often and already have a rough estimation of how much something is gonna cost (i.e. “I buy this meal at lunch every day” or whatever), and then you find out its twice as expensive, you run into the exact problem I’ve suggested.

    You’re definitely right about it slowing everything down though, and most drive-throughs get clogged very easily.



  • I mean, what do you do in a drive through when you get to the window to pay and it’s like 3x more expensive than you expected? Just drive away? I’m sure that’s what people would argue, while completely ignoring that it’s a massive social taboo and 99% of people would just pay because of social pressure.

    Also, what happens if the place starts making the food after you order, but before you pay (so you can get your food more quickly and efficiently!). Have you committed theft, or defrauded the business by deciding not to pay? I mean probably not, but I’d hate to be the first person sued to test if it holds up in court.
