@johntmhiggins.bsky.social just saw your Sony Bravia 7 II review. Do you know if this TV uses DC dimming or PWM dimming? Would love to get some info on the flicker rate of the tech since lots of other TVs are hit or miss.

"Speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5, including CAPCOM and Ubisoft, Insider Gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else. “We found out at the same time as the public,” said one Ubisoft developer."

I *love* Deadly Delivery. It's an incredibly fun co-op multiplayer game where you deliver packages to cave denizens who apparently enjoy doing everything in their power to stop said packages from getting delivered. www.androidcentral.com/gaming/vr-ga...

I became an Amazon delivery goblin and barely lived to tell the tale
Deadly Delivery is the VR take on the friendslop genre that I needed.

For some of us, the "smartphone wars" are personal. Brands like OnePlus are more than just an alternative; they are the only option for flicker-sensitive users wanting a flagship experience, especially in North America where options are severely limited. www.androidcentral.com/phones/onepl...

OnePlus is more important than you think, especially for people like me
Competition in the U.S. smartphone market is already on a fragile edge, and only one company makes flagships that work for flicker-sensitive people.

A PSA reminder: do NOT link Meta/Facebook/Instagram/etc accounts when you use a Meta Quest. It's a great way to lose access to all the stuff you've bought if Facebook ever bans your social media account. www.androidcentral.com/gaming/virtu...

Too many Meta Quest users are losing access to their headsets because of linked Facebook accounts. Here's how you can protect yourself and prevent a terrible situation from ruining your year
Meta makes it easy to link all your accounts together, but one problem could poison the whole well.

It's been a *long* time coming, but Meta finally has a trade-in program to get you a new pair of Oakley Meta or Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for less. I'm super happy to finally see this and hope they extend it to Quest! www.androidcentral.com/apps-softwar...

There have been a ton of GREAT VR games this year, but Demeo x D&D Battlemarked is my VR GOTY. I already loved Demeo's turn-based strategy formula, and this steps it up about 10 notches. Voiced NPCs, multiple campaigns, impressive locale variety, and more www.androidcentral.com/gaming/vr-ga...
androidcentral.com
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked is the perfect evolution of one of my favorite strategy games of all time, and now this expansive sequel redefines what I thought was possible
Demeo grows up and expands its horizons in my game of the year pick for the Meta Quest platform.

The OnePlus 15's display is the best all-around flagship OLED on any smartphone. Primarily for me, that includes a focus on *eye care* versus nonsense lab tests that require nasty crap like low-frequency PWM dimming or color dithering to win. youtu.be/aqaMNoJVnfM

This is the OnePlus 15, a phone that gets *a lot* right despite what might appear like compromises on the surface. It's not the knock-down-drag-out win I thought the OnePlus 13 was, but it's still one of the best flagship phones you can buy today. www.androidcentral.com/phones/onepl...
androidcentral.com
I've tested the OnePlus 15, and it's more iPhone than ever, but it leans so hard into the brand's best traits that I can't ignore its greatness
The OnePlus 15 packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 165Hz OLED screen, IP69K resistance rating, 7,300mAh battery, and plenty more impressive specs packed inside a redesigned frame.

Even Realities G2 is official, bringing a stereoscopic HUD via micro-LED projectors and waveguides in a stupidly light 36g frame. Even Realities is also making a smart ring that pairs with the glasses, enabling health monitoring and gesture control. www.androidcentral.com/wearables/ev...

The visual appeal of this phone has grown on me significantly, and I think it looks better in person than in pictures. What hasn't grown on me are the stupid, uncomfortable flat sides. My GOSH I hate this design trend. Hate hate, double hate, loathe entirely.

Earlier this week, I got an update for my Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1s and BOY OH BOY did they improve stabilization! You can also now select between stabilization options, but the auto mode does a great job out of the box. Check out the difference! youtu.be/HwtY0iKr_tc

Oakley Meta Vanguard is finally here! They're the most unique smart/AI glasses on the market thanks to the rugged style, centered camera, IP67 protection, and Garmin integration. Michael Hicks for AC says they're "basically the Ultra smartwatch" of the smart glasses category.

I love how Nintendo constantly changes paradigms in big "reboot" releases. When BotW came out, suddenly you could go anywhere, climb anything, fly when you wanted. It ruined other open world games for me. Totally spoiled the player and gave true navigational freedom.

I'm so over Switch 2 sensationalism. No, Nintendo didn't already hit the limits of the Switch 2 hardware. This is how every console cycle works. In 7 years we'll have something twice as complex as Bananza and go HOW DOES THIS RUN ON THIS HARDWARE?!?!?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but A HANDS-ON IS NOT A REVIEW. A review is when you spend ample time with a device and can pick out positive and negative points through EXPERIENCE with the device. A hands-on is just a first impressions piece.
