It was too expensive for me so I bought an “open box, as new condition” one for $1,100 (£850). It was a risk but it really has been as new condition and I’m super happy with it. It has been a life changer because everything is easier with a larger screen (particularly the keyboard!) and having one device is so much more convenient than syncing and carrying two.
A lot of the cheaper used models have marks on the outside of the phone, but if you’re using a case then it’s a non-issue because the case covers them up. As long as the screens are fine.
Once the Fold 5 comes out in a few weeks even a new Fold 4 will hopefully be cheaper.
I don’t understand how it’s not a classic. The music and art is amazing, the story and characters are charming, the battle system is fun, it’s full of side quests and places to explore. Maybe it’s because the dungeons are literally 2 hours of non-stop puzzles (they went a bit hard on the puzzles), but if you can get past that, it’s definitely worth your time!
There are so many factors. It could be an objectively good game that you just don’t like. No big deal, there are lots of 6 or 7/10 games that I absolutely love too. Or it could be you’re burned out on games or not in the mood for that particular thing, and you can come back to it.
TOTK for me was the latter, I am just not in the mood for a huge open ended game right now. Skyrim was the former, I never got into it. Dunno how old you are, but over time you get a feel for whether you’re going to like something and learn to trust the review scores less and less.
I hear you on depression and anhedonia. It sucks. I wish I had an answer for that.
I disagree that there are not enough people here. Beehaw is busy enough for act as a reddit replacement imo. The federation setup is complex, but given how many bugs and technical issues it has right now, it’s probably for the best - only people with patience and a lot of interest in Lemmy should be joining right now.
They’ve done the cosmic horror joke many times. I found it funny in my 20s.
Gabe’s art has gradually deformed and is just horrible now.
