I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:
I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it’s monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They’d be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they’re the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.
Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)
There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee
I want to avoid using Fandom as much as possible, is there a singular index that tracks all of the non-fandom wikis?
I initially agreed with you but after watching the demo, it has some game-related features that I’d imagine would be hard to implement in other applications such as:
Don’t have Nintendo Online (only got it for Splatoon 3) but this product should’ve come out years ago when they introduced Nintendo Online.
I see you. I get thrown off when my liked playlist is shuffled or songs go missing. The world is chaotic and I just want consistency.
I remember this scene from Se7en
I respect they chose Lady Geist to show off the glitch
ymmv but I found walking around, having some water, and doing something menial task (cleaning up the room or dishes) and actively avoiding screens usually leads me to feel sleepy after 15-30 minutes…
Humans aren’t really designed for full 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep (nor 16 hours of full wakefulness but I’m fortunate enough that I can take naps in the afternoon) so don’t be hard on yourself if one happens to wake up in the middle of the night. It’s natural (like afternoon naps).The biggest issue is screens/activities that are designed to keep you alert and a societal lifestyle that demands a strict wake-sleep cycle.
