Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?

Reply in thread

The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch

It's actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible https://www.schott.com/en-us/expertise/applications/schott-utg-in-foldable-displays. You might be thinking of the factory installed screen protectors on most (all?) foldable phones that is made of plastic.

I had a Galaxy ZFold 4 and there were lots of things I liked about it. The larger screen really does make a big difference for consuming content and looking at/signing documents. I ended up going back to a traditional style phone because I realized that I spent a lot of time thinking about general fragility of my phone in a way that I hadn't before. Cases are significantly more expensive and require adhesives to stay attached. I had a few in warranty repairs from debris in the hinge as well.

I'm now trying to decide between starting Baldur's Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

I will say that you'll be doing a ton of turn based combat in BG3. But it's also one of the most well realized worlds I've ever played in.

I have friends who won't play any classic RPGs because they don't like turn based combat, but they love BG3.

If the idea of a sandbox filled with stories where you have tons of choice sounds interesting to you, I'd give it a try.

I'm similar as far as FPS games go. Titanfall 2 is a masterpiece, and I enjoyed Overwatch with some friends until the long series of baffling decisions from Blizzard that began slowly killing the game.

I never could get into MOBAs though. I played a handful of LOL, HOTS, and Smite games and it just felt like I either spent 30 minutes losing a game or won for a reason no one could comprehend.

Deadlock has been crack since I got my invite. It scratches the shooter itch, and found a way to make the MOBA mechanics more accessible to me.
