Been rocking a oneplus 8 for the last two and half years, replaced the back glass a couple times and the battery once. I definitely don't baby my phone, it's a tool meant to be used, but overall am pretty good at not dropping things so I can reckon I'll keep going with it until it gets too slow or something breaks.

When choosing a new phone, I usually go for something new that's one level below the latest flagship, and check to see if LineageOS is being developed for it, as then I know it's likely to receive software updates for long after I've moved on to the next.

Thing is, I like, many people here, am a techie, and I'm not afraid to install custom ROMs and open up my phone for repair. The majority of people don't want that, so I'm really looking forward to the upcoming EU regulation on user replaceable batteries! Then it's possible for everyone to keep their phone for longer.

Ah that one's called Life By You I believe. I watched the trailer for that one and I don't know... It feels kinda soulless. Like someone just said "make the sims but with better graphics" and now they're falling into uncanny valley with dead looking facial expressions.

I personally don't think it'll do so well as games like the sims really sit well with casual gamers with low end machines or Nintendo switch etc.

I've been watching and waiting for Paralives to come out for a long time at this point. I really like the art style and having something built not by EA seems like my kind of thing.

For now, guess the sims is all we have!

Honestly though, I hate it but I do kind of get it. If this game gets overrun by hackers in its prime, the game dies and I'd really like to see this survive long term as this is the kind of pricing model I'd like to support. Can't have everything perfect.

But it will only make sense if FACEIT achieves that goal. Time will tell, and I'll keep my windows dual boot for gaming for now.

I'm in the same camp here, generally avoided FPS because my reaction time is similar to a snail. The medic role is super important because you don't heal automatically, and only a medic can heal you. I've had plenty of situations where I'm a medic prone on the ground with bullets flying overhead, reviving and healing a whole squad downed by a well placed enemy grenade. Been an absolute blast, pun intended.
