The Bobiverse series eventually features some aliens. I don’t think that’s a spoiler at all… But they aren’t space-faring, so I dunno if that counts for what you’re looking for.
As a developer, the experience is so much better on Android for me. And I oppose the walled garden on a ideological level.
But I have to admit some of the features are compelling. Some of them aren’t even really Apple’s doing, such as Genshin Impact supporting wireless controllers on IOS14+, but not Android at all. Others are built in, such as the lidar scanning.
They haven’t yet tempted me over, though, because phones are incredibly expensive and even if I weren’t opposed to the walled garden, I’m pretty invested in the Android ecosystem now.
At some point I plan to borrow someone’s iPhone and try Genshin on it, and if that works well… Well, I might just switch anyhow. Or maybe I get sick of that game before that. ;)
I guess you could hope to find someone here that could help you with that, but it occurs to me that you’re working with people who definitely understand it. Perhaps you could ask them for some guidance?
After looking into z-wave and zigbee and having installed a lot of wifi devices, I also decided to wait for Matter. I’ve been pretty disappointed in the reviews I’ve seen, and the range of devices is really limited. I’m starting to wonder if I should just give up and go with Z-wave.
I used to upgrade every generation, and yeah, it was stupidly expensive. But it was my only hobby, and you could actually seen performance increases each time.
But for the last 10 years or so, there’s much less point. Sometimes there are major advances (Cuda, RTX) that make it worthwhile for a single generation upgrade, but mostly it’s just a few FPS at highest settings. So now I just upgrade every few years.
I can understand being underwhelmed if you went into it thinking it was going to be Fallout in space. But I went in knowing it was a space western RPG, and I quite enjoyed it. I’ve been thinking about replaying it, and it was just in the Humble Bundle this month, so that’ll probably happen soon. (I played it on PC Game Pass the first time, I think.)
Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?
What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe....
How does everyone feel about iPhones?
Surprise....
