There are some instances that lean in specific directions, but there are also several that are kind of just melting pots. For the most part I don’t need to use blocks too frequently, but there are definitely some spaces/users that I find are too hostile that it gets in the way of their intended messaging. But then, that line is going to be different for everybody.
Habits can be built and rebuilt. I’ve known a disappointing amount of people who refuse to use a calendar for reminders out of pride and end up being all over the place in the end.
Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.
a planetary catastrophe out of our control
You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.
At the very least they need to invest in server side anti cheat. If that’s not viable they should be obliged to adequately moderate their game.
If you can’t accept business plans that make a little less profit to include sufficient human moderation to avoid heavyhanded kernel level anti cheat - you shouldn’t be in the fucking publishing business, you greedy weasels.
Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them
This looks awesome. Posting so I can read it later - the Mbin mobile site absolutely butchers your table, and I feel like submitting a bug report~

You don’t achieve that level of wealth ethically or without exploitation, no matter how much business you’re doing
Mobile-only… I don’t think that’s as much of a flex as they think it is
Ha… you’re right of course, but it’s funny to consider this in the context of the exhaustingly long campaigns that are the status quo
I was expecting this to be about some recent online game, but nope… PSP…
Elite:Dangerous is sad for its own reasons, too, and I have a similar count of hours logged. Glacial pace of development and a lack of strong game design / sense for balance. I’m still stunned by how much of a selling point the background simulation was, and how limited it actually is in practice (it did get some love over the years, but far too little too late IMO.)
Odd, I’ve never had that experience. Maybe you’re using a VPN or something that makes your IP look more suspicious.
Validation level is set by server owners, you are unlikely to need to verify a phone number except in the biggest (and therefore spammiest) servers
Hives are one of the clearest signs of an allergic reaction. There is basically no normal circumstance where those should occur.
It sounds like there are potentially other factors contributing to your symptoms at home, but the last couple of things happening with dogs in general strongly suggests that you have a dog allergy.
I have to echo other posters here and urge you to see a doctor about testing (if financially viable) and mitigation advice.
