He’s huge with the college and younger crowd. It’s insane how big his empire is. If you’ve seen pictures of him he’s one of those guys that doesn’t smile with his eyes. Super creepy, no charisma that I can see, but kids love him.

5-10 years ago this would be a troll, but sadly you’re likely right

Man I used to love those Centurions toys. Such a great concept to have modular pieces on the figures

Hey I think you’ve got enough recs already, just wanted to say I’m really enjoying reading your replies. You seem like a good person, and I used to go by Wakko in my youth so you’re obviously cool. That’s all!

As others have said, check out Octopi. I was also sticking to Nova, couldn’t find anything even close until Octopi.

Some of us also enjoy customizing and designing our own home screen. I have mine set up to just show my wallpaper and a grid of 9 icons. You can also change icons, icon shape, etc. I have simple icons for my folders rather than an ugly icon with 4 little icons inside it that seems to be the default for “folder” on all phones.

I enjoy the aesthetics of it. I think it’s ironic that iPhones are so freaking ugly and messy when their whole brand was built on clean design.

Try Octopi Launcher. The menus are different, but you can customize I’d say 85-90% identical to anything you could do in Nova. I duplicated my entire setup and it feels 90% the same.

Just curious, would you then view the folder with a swipe down?

Not seeing a way to change folder tap but you could pbly request that. It’s a single developer and I’ve been very happy to support them to get away from Nova. I’ve been using Octopi since last year and it’s been great!

You can set up individual apps with swipe up and swipe down as well though, so if there’s a main app in your folder you could break it out and at least get 2 other apps to open via swipes. Not the same I know.

+1 for Octopi, it’s the only one that really does almost everything Nova does

I will always upvote Poorly Drawn Lines.

The Shadow is great! But also different from The Phantom in case you’re mixing them up.

Weird to frame this in a way where using LLMs is the default way to write. Is this what we’ve come to as a species?

Great photo! Where is this?

“playbook” is a generous use of that term

I think the implication is that the other big reason for not drinking that people would jump to is substance abuse. Even if untrue, once the rumor starts it would be out there.
