Started a 6x6 game months ago and am still not done yet. It's super repetitive but perfect to just reset your mind for a while every now and then

"This song" but you're crying alone in the bathroom of a party

Last thing I paid full price was Cities Skylines 2, even the first time I preordered because I loved the first game so much. 2 days before launch I read the first tests, came back to my mind, canceled my preorder and it's probably been one of my best gaming related decisions. Invested a fraction of the money on Factorio instead and didn't look back for a second.

The weirdest one that comes to my mind, was a vhs tape of some stop motion lego stories that me and my brother watched a million times.

Surprised I just found the whole thing on YouTube

For some reason I can't seem to stop shaking a bottle of water first before taking a sip out of it

I know it might be an unpopular opinion over here, but I feel that's still an acceptable price. Music is honestly the only media where I just can't see myself going back to piracy again, because the comfort and ability to discover new music is just pretty much impossible to achieve without a streaming service... unfortunately

I would love to see a human body with proper cable management

Aren't those two separate things though? There's humble choice, which is basically what you describe, although you can just subscribe for a month if you're interested in the games and then immediately cancel your subscription. There's also a handful of regular bundles at any given time that are not linked to any subscription at all

Not OP, but I tried that a couple of times and it always works for like 2 hours and then the popup reappears. I don't have any other extensions activated which might mess with uBlocks config, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm all for privacy and I can definitely get lost in those topics too, those guys just have to realize that 90% of people don't really care, even if I wish it was different. If you really want to become a big player, you need to provide an easy to understand UI, the features people are already used to and as little of an entry barrier as possible. Or you build up on an already existing user base like FB with threads, but I'm kinda happy that one's still not available in the EU haha

I tried. Mastodon attracts a pretty specific crowd in my experience though. Usually people with at least a certain interest in tech topics and the whole mood just felt a bit serious. I don't have high hopes for it to become mainstream enough to really be a serious competitor, because the barrier to entry literally has to be insanely low for that, for a lot of people.

I have two accounts on Twitter, one for work where I follow Englisch speaking people around my specific tech niche for work, some of those might be on Mastodon but not enough to make the move yet. And on my private account I basically have a purely German crowd that's been 50% random shitposting and chatting with each other and 50% political discourse. All of those decided to move to Bluesky and to cut the political discussions for a while. Now we're all just enjoying the few months of peace over there :-)
