I've been playing Thimbleweed Park on Android recently. In general I do love point and click puzzle games but my feelings on this one are very mixed. * The writing is hit or miss * The story is just serviceable * Only about 20% of the

I'm curious how good the terra/luna results are but there's not enough context here for me to judge 0.786 (terra) vs 0.814 (sol) vs 0.889 (fable). How do the two lower models compare to e.g. gpt 5.5 or 5.4 or various opus mod

On Vivo it's called "Motion Cues". Subtitle: "Dots shift forwards and backwards during acceleration and deceleration". And then it says in tiny font it's for motion sickness, I guess I didn't read that far

My Android phone has this too (Vivo). Maybe they all do? It wasn't well explained what it was for though, I discovered it while messing with the settings and thought it was just a cool random feature to visualize motion. I'm just
