For those of you who don't clean their buds very often, a new version of the Pixel Buds app will start showing you a notification telling you it's cleaning time every 120 hours of wearing them.

Next AAA games will give reminders to take a shower every 24 hours of gaming.

It's sad but it wouldn't be a bad thing if there were just discreet notifications reminding you to drink water, get out and take a short walk and so many other basic things gamers and internet addicts just easily forget as they quickly lose their sense of time.

Nintendo has done that. A lot of their games tell you to take a break after a while

The Nintendo 3DS game Zelda: A Link Between Worlds also had something similar, there was a functionality inside with which you could ask for hints in quests in exchange for Play Coins, which you could obtain only by walking a certain amount of steps with the 3DS in sleep mode.

A lot of mainline Nintendo games had Play Coin functionality. What comes to my mind first was Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where you could exchange 10 for a fortune cookie, containing a piece of Nintendo-themed furniture.

I already clean my buds pro with a microfiber cloth when I'm done using them, but I've seen some people let their buds get really gross so might not be a terrible thing.

I don't understand how people can stand it. I have really soft ear wax and it gunks things up if I don't clean both my buds and my ears fairly regularly. Plus I use the memory foam ear tips so they collect a lot of stuff.

Need to be paired with a reminder for owners to clean their ears daily.

I've already been getting these reminders through the app. I didn't know that it was time based though and not sensor based. Would have liked the latter if possible.
