Oh I just figured it out, instead of hold pressing the square you gotta press square to get your app overview, and then tap on the icon for the app you want to split screen and select the split screen option.

ytmnds were peak meme culture and the only thing that comes close is some of the sound reuse that goes on on TikTok.

Android used to let you use two apps at once, you would hold the square button for a second and it would shrink your current app to the corner, and then you would open another and it would split screen the two of them.

idk when they got rid of it but I used to use it a lot and it worked fine so I really don’t know why they did.

edit: they still have it but they inexplicably changed how to do it

You forgot “kill every enemy and then spend a half an hour running around a maze looking for the key you missed.”

Ya got deleted but I’m basically the same. I agree with basically everything they say but it hasn’t motivated me to change.

So are all “comfy” games, but that’s why I like it!

I said before and I still think that the Cybertruck looks fine, it’s the knowledge that it’s a $100k luxury vehicle loaded with bazinga features that they intentionally made in small numbers so that they wouldn’t have to meet safety standards that makes me hate it.

But if the whole car market could move over to visually distinct designs instead of streamlined aerodynamic pods, I would be ecstatic.

IMO the thing is that Sonic at its best only appeals to a small slice of gamers. Like if you talk to speedrunners about it they’ll have nothing but good things to say about it, and in general Sonic games get more cathartic to play the better you get as a player. The less time you spend bumping into things and the more confidently you can navigate the precision platforming segments the more you can just zone out and enjoy the flow state and the music and stuff.

But you’ve got to have a personality that leads you to playing levels multiple times to get into that flow state, and a lot of people who don’t have that will play a Sonic game, struggle through every level exactly once, and then put it away and declare that it sucked.

So this niche interest game got put up against Mario, which is superficially similar but much, much better at appealing to a mass audience, and the comparison has stuck in the culture ever since. People who like it continue to like it but because of its high profile and nostalgia factor lots and lots of people play it who don’t like it and that infects the discourse for it in a way that it doesn’t for other games.

…and of course lots of the games really do suck because SEGA and Sonic Team have had a bad habit of rushing games out the door before they were finished that goes back to the Mega Drive days.

I gotta think that if one of our two major parties was actually defending the trans community via messaging and policy this would be different. The right runs their anti-trans messaging basically unopposed except by individuals on social media and chronically underfunded advocacy groups.
