Bigger screens for small devices, if nothing else. Imagine, for example, having one of those to use with a Nintendo Switch when you're on the go. You could also add a second monitor to a laptop.
Oh.
Do people carry Nintendo switches with them? (just what is a "switch" anyway?) My grandmother used to threaten me with a switch.
I could understand if one wanted a bigger screen for a smart phone receiving a movie or similar. But phones don't have USB outputs do they? And if someone had a "pad" of some sort, wouldn't carrying a 16x9 extra screen kind'a defeat the purpose of having a small pad? Seems to me like this is product looking for a purpose. Anybody heard of that drug to combat "Restless Foot Syndrome" lately?
So a few days ago, a game I really really loved was announced it'd be getting a sequel. I heard someone say that on one of my YouTube videos, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to believe it. I couldn't check though since I had to go to work in just a few minutes. When I got home I launched my Switch and looked at the news and sure enough there it was. Can't imagine the massive amounts of OMGYES I was feeling at the time!
The original released three years ago, or four if you count the Japanese release (It took us a year to get the localization, and I imagine if it weren't for Nintendo we might not have gotten one at all) but the fact they're mentioning this on the international Nintendo News page and not *just* the JP one (as well as having English audio/subtitles unlike the 1st game's announcement trailers) makes me hopeful they'll be going with a worldwide release like they did with their previous non-spinoff game.
But in spirit of the thread, here's a complaint: It's been four days since the announcement and it still feels like its been forever. It's another week before a scheduled news drop, and the game itself isn't slated for release until next Summer - which feels like an eternity away :<
Fixing a computer on which the display isn't working onsite? I wouldn't want one that big, but I've often longed for a small USB display for those cases.
Requip (Ropinirole)? I use it and it works wonders.
Complaint inspired by Rezca's comment...
Most video games take entirely too long for sequels these days... back in the late 90s, early 00s it was a bit ridiculous where sequels were being released every year (in a few instances, less than a year), which wasn't good because many sequels weren't that great, and at best were just a rehash of the original with different characters and storylines.
At some point things seemed to even out with two or so years between sequels and some decent improvements made... But now you have games that can take 6 or 7 years between sequels.
Sometimes the studios change hands, major staff changes occur and by the time the sequel comes out, it's like you get the feeling the people making decisions never actually bothered to look into what the game was originally about or what made it successful.
And don't get me started on moving everything to online gameplay and micro transactions.
Do you think it would work on "Wandering Pancreas Syndrome"...?
I know a foot and a pancreas are a little different, but besides duct taping it in place, there should be something out there so one doesn't have to chase their pancreas around all the time or go looking for it every morning.
if your pancreas is getting out, then you have bigger problems. However, if it's just shifting around inside then a few well placed stitches should work.
...not just video games but 3D content as well, like the actual sequel to MilCat which we're still waiting on 15 years later. Daz Cat is just a remake of the original with a little cosemtic upgrade.

There are small monitors, the norm is 5-7", for digital cameras. Mine uses the HDMI port, I don't know if any can use a USB port. The one I have won't, it has a battery pack for power.

Complaint: Arghhh... I have (had) some old email that sent me a password for access to special status that I paid for on a website. I've since switched email programs and archived the old mail folders into a zipped and encrypted file. I've rummaged through my archives and found the file but I have to find a way to read the email file. But to read the email file I have to decrypt it and I've forgotten the password.
It was a password that I used for years for encrypting all my major secrets kept locally on my machines and I knew it like the back of my hand so it was never written down, but a few months ago I changed my secret password and now the back of my hand is not so familiar. Damn senility. (crap)
Non-complaint: Recently the USPO (US Post Office) has been flummuxing up my mail. Of the last 4 things I've ordered from Amazon or NewEgg, one was a week late, one was completely lost, one is now 10 days late and I'm about to try to cancel it, so it was with trepidation that I made another order from Amazon to replace the order that had gotten lost (I waited until I received a refund from Amazon). The new order was for essentially the same items (food from the Amazon Pantry) and I ordered it last Saturday. It arrived this morning (Monday) by post. Go figure.
(Yes, it was the new order, not the old order, although if the old order had arrived I would have thought about keeping it and keeping quiet until Amazon figured it out and asked for their money back.
)
Documentation rule #27: Never be afraid to state the obvious. Yes, there IS an end user who will make every mistake.
That's how the Universe works. Given the entirety of space and time, any event, unless it is forbidden, is inevitable.
I'm waiting for the announcement that some fermion has violated the "Pauli Exclusion Principle" before trying to jump through a brick wall.
Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by. As an experienced Florida resident and avid SCUBA diver of its lakes, rivers, underground springs & caverns, lagoons, and ocean, this is my memory of Florida.
Frederick Delius: "By The River" from his "Florida Suite"
Delius is an interesting character. Sent from England to Florida in the late 1800s as a youth to manage his father's orange plantation he spent a couple of years there but shortly returned home and continued his music career writing his signature style of very mellow and beautiful music. His "Florida Suite" mirrors my preferred memories of Florida in all four of its movements ("Daybreak", "By The River", "Sunset", "Night").
Edited to complain: I don't know where those images of mountains in the clip came from but it's NOT Florida!!!
Florida is a 150 mile wide, 400 mile long flat pile of sand sticking out into the ocean with a maximum height of 345 feet.
decaff oh my i m decaffinated.

Since this is the complaint thread, and despite the soothing music, I need to point out that the 1800s are the first decade of the nineteenth century (or even the last year of the eighteenth century and first nine years of the nineteenth, for a true stickler), not the whole century.
And today there's a new coupon for a whopping $10 off.
Double post. Never mind.
Ooh, jump on it quick. Before it disappears.
...must be a purple banner that I didn't get.
Also just saw the"12 Hour Sale promo after I finally finished with my morning duties as a "concerned citizen" slogging through about 200 emails. Apparently it started last night and ended an hour and fifteen minutes ago (west coast time) as the coupons no longer seem to work.
Oh, and I guess the PA sale ended on Sunday as well. Still haven't used my two monthly PC+ coupons either.
...I was referring to $10 off the $1349 processor in the post that I quoted.
...ah, thought it was an offer here as only some people get those purple banners. With so many Daz sales and specials it's hard to tell.

Complaint: Phone spammers. I picked up my landline phone (Yeah, yeah, I know I'm still in the 20th century) today to make a phone call and apparently somebody was ringing in at the same time, I heard some garbled talk in the background of the conversation that I was having with a computer customer. Regardless, I finish my phone business, hung up and set about waiting for her to deliver her computer for repair. The computer comes, and I start repair. Then 4 hours later I pick up the phone to call her back to come pick up her happy computer and my phone is talking at me. WTF?
So I listen and some woman asks "are you still there"? Then the automatic message says "Press 1 for ..., press 2 for ... press 3 for ..." I still didn't pay attention to what the questions actually were but simply hung up figuring that that would terminate whatever call was in progress. Nope! 
She's baaack and still asking questions, which I now realize is an automated political poll from which I can not disengage. None of my meager bag of tricks works. It's determined to get some answers from me. So after about 10 minutes of fruitless efforts to kill the messenger, I finally started answering questions randomly.
If you hear of strange things on the ballot in NY State in November, it was probably me mucking up their algorithms.
But once the questions were answered, she thanked me and said "good-bye". (*sigh*)
The only pleasure I can get from that situation is that I hope she was on the phone for 4 hours asking "are you still there?".
Never mind, answered my own question. Still Poser-compatible stuff being submitted to the store; it's just that critters are kinda lagging behind (Seeing a lot of props and environments in multi-format, but majority of the latest animals/creatures are DUF-only)
compat days seem long over. doesnt work in carrara either, even tho carrara is owned by daz
the newer poser figures dont work in ds or ca.
exporting a cr2 from ds hasnt worked for me
My store sells Hylands Restfull Legs all day. Many customers say they've been taking it for years. Homeopathic and no known side effects or drug interferences and super cheap- about 7 $ at any natural or health retailer- wortth a try.
Ehhh.... :/
I saw some props and sets that are in Poser-compat format, but if you want critters but don't want to use D|S then your'e so out of luck. Maybe I might try the Blender bridge, then see if I can't export from there too... Though I have to sign out of this account to do that since DS doesn't want to run under an admin account.
I remember a few attempts at exporting a cr2 in the past. I tried "The Constrictor" and "Tyrannosaurus 2". The former - no matter what options I tired - always ended up as an imploded mess of geometry that only got worse if I tried to move any of the joints. The Tyrannosaurus on the other hand, exported fairly well. Weird!
...at least it was allowing you choose a number on the menu. The ones I hate are those which require you to make a verbal response and then respond with "I didn't understand that, would you repeat again?" or send you back to the main menu.
This is why I'd never have Cortana, Alexia or Siri in my flat as I'd get so annoyed with any of them I'd end up beating my hardware into to submission.
A computer is a tool just lke a hammer, drill, or saw, not some personality to interact with. Remember hte bomb sequence in the film Dark Star?
