I totally get that, same here.

But ultimately you can't just blame people. There is literally an entire industry trying to sell you cheap carbs and fat. Down to the sound a bag of chips makes when you open it (this is not a joke).

So on one hand you have evolution, your body still being stuck in the past where food was scarce. On the other hand you have too much food and it's highly engineered to be addicting on purpose.

It's no surprise most people are going to lose that challenge.

That's not unpopular, that's based.

Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I'd like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.

You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!

A bad word? Son of a removed, we're all going to die.

Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.

I'm so confused about the new line syntax. Why can't I just do a single new line and keep typing? Why does the previous line have to end with a double space?
It's weird, what is the benefit there?

What is actually your problem with Android FF? I use it every day on my phone.

Yes, it's not as snappy as Chrome, but besides that everything works perfectly. In addition to that: Fully fledged ad-blocker like on desktop, one big reason why I no longer use Chrome on my phone.

I actually did that for a while (on my PC at least). Major pain in the ass unfortunately.

Of course it's good to block that crap, but usability takes too much of a nose dive. I do live in the EU though, so when it comes to data protection things have gotten a lot better in the last years.

Install Firefox (also works on mobile!), add uBlock Origin (also available on mobile!), done.

end of A Realm Reborn

Google says that's roughly 120 hours, oof.

I've been playing video games for the last 27 years or so. If a game isn't starting to be fun in the first few hours it's usually not worth sticking with it. For example anyone saying "The game starts at max level!" totally missed the point in my opinion, if everything before that is shit, why have it at all?

Btw. if you do slog it through ARR, what happens if you make a new character to play a different class? Do you have to go through it again?

Considering you don't find Discord server logs on Google I'd say: No.

Discord is its own thing.

Google results have been down the drain for years, the only reasonable results I found were by appending reddit or site:reddit.com. Now even that is gone :-/

Sheesh. I heard FFXIV is really good later in the game. But you first have to get over a 60 hour bump or something?

I did try it out and barely lasted a few hours. So many boring cutscenes, so much running from NPC to NPC. And barely any combat, the quests were like "Run 3 minutes over there, kill 3 enemies, then run 3 minutes back to the NPC". It was tough :-/
