Yeah I saw the edit button for the gallery. It’s classic Apple though. Just let you move around their generated nonsense but the app is fundamentally changed interface so might as well just get used to it.

Same thing with the control center. I know I can swipe from the very bottom to clear it. But the point was I didn’t have to do that before so it’s less convenient for someone we didn’t need and wasn’t implemented well.

You can go into the edit lock screen area and where you customize the background and widgets etc the bottom two things (flashlight and camera icons)are now editable.

Gawd... I just opened the photo gallery app... that redesign is awful. I don't want a bunch of "we're pretending to be facebook so here's a bunch of 'memories' for you" pushed at me. I know what photos I took... I took them. Go away.

The configurable control center pages is nice in theory... but what it does in practice is you open it to use it and try to swipe it back up so you can go back to your homescreen, but instead you end up swiping up the stupid control center page and seeing your media controls instead. That's going to take ages to get used to.

The new more fluid feeling fade in for notifications on the apple watch is nice though. I still hate the redesign from the last version. Reduced functionality for me, as usual.

They finally nuked the "special" widget section on the left fully... which screwed up a couple useful widgets that I was using and haven't found a replacement for... so that sucks.

New homescreen positioning is cool, but breaks one of the workarounds I was using without a replacement either (smart stack with a background that made them invisible until I scrolled them). Minor thing, but annoying. We can position icons slightly better now... but I still can't have 5 items in my dock? I still can't have different grid sizes? I still can't add custom icons? Sad.

No more mandatory camera app on lockscreen? nice. Hasn't been needed in forever... even less with the newer models having a hardware button.

Drag n drop for control center? Better late than never. Hate the round icons though... I like squarcles. When I still had an android and they tried to move to circles for everything, I applied a custom icon set to make them revert. Dislike the circles. Also the fact that the larger size is still a squarcle... makes it mismatched and stupid looking.

Like always... feels like a step forward and a step back. :/

Yay I can finally lose access to family sharing with my literal sibling who lives in a different house... such an upgrade. /s

Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

Yeah... "off" is the direction they can fuck with that nonsense...

Always check your public library. The ones in m area have these which cost you nothing to use because they are supported as public services.

Always support public libraries.

A “spectator”, specifically. A lesser beholder.

“The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”

Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.

Skyrim is a first person action adventure game with RPG elements. Baldurs gate is a much more traditional fantasy RPG which I a focused on tactics and D&D core rules and character stories where action stakes a back seat. So it sounds more like you enjoy the action and immersion of Skyrim than the “RPG” side of it.

BG3 is really a love letter to the people that liked the original games and wanted more depth to the systems to try to capture the tabletop experience a little more. Since you described it as “clunky” I’m guessing that the slower tactical aspect is what you’re bouncing off of.
