Japan still has a lot of campaigns with special prints or characters on trains. Fans find their schedules and wait at stations to take pictures. Its quite fun to ride one of those trains and see tens of ethusiasts at every stop.

In Cookie Clicker when you manage to stack 3 fortune cookie modifiers. Numbers going up so fucking hard.

Gael from Darksouls 3 and Orphan from Bloodborne were really cool and intense fights, those probably gave me the greatest rushes in Fromsoft games but I havent played Eldenring yet.

Getting a crit with Paladin in DnD is always amazing. I dont know if the updated 5e rules ended up removing the crit on Divine Smite but I'd elect to ignore that

I mean exposing an endpoint that accepts graphql queries kinda does that

Hatte mal ein Gespräch mit einem Kunden, der von seiner Frau in den Biomarkt geschickt wurde um Hafermilch zu kaufen. Wir hatten im Regal aber nur Haferdrink, Mandeldrink, Reisdrink, Sojadrink, etc. und er konnte keine Milch finden. Entweder wollte er mir nicht glauben, dass man wegen solchen dummen Gesetzen das nicht Hafermilch nennen darf oder er hatte Angst, dass seine Frau das nicht glaubt.

Does that make Arianna & Queen Yahrnam getting pregnant with Oedon's child a social commentary by Fromsoftware about the players' gooning over their characters?

I kept disabling features and they kept getting re-enabled by updates.

I installed WSL to run gcc and it bricked my graphics drivers, requiring a full reinstall.

Requiring a microsoft account to access my own computer.

App recommendations (ads) in the start menu.

Maybe there were workarounds for this but I shouldnt have to trouble shoot that kind of stuff for a product that values itself at such a price. I just couldnt feel like an owner of things I have purchased.

Was there any reason to make this an ios app as opposed to a website hosted outside the US? I'm really not surprised by the removal. What did they expect? All the Tech CEOs came to the inauguration with bags of cash.

I can remember some people's embarrassing moments from years ago well. Even of some strangers. Your cringe is not safe with me.

I think what helped my Spotify recommendations a lot was the option to "exclude from taste profile". I might listen to lofi for 12 h straight but I dont want any lofi recommendations at all, so that feature was nice.

Also I never pressed "like" on anything, I only ever disliked things in order to keep recommendations more open. It felt like Spotify understood the assignment while e.g. Tidal kept blasting me with a genre that I accidentally listened to one track of and kept "disliking" every single artists.

I like streaming music, I dont need to own it, but I have been struggling to find a good music streaming service.

I used Spotify for years but the amount of garbage they keep adding made me cancel my subscription. The last straw was when "smart shuffle" kept automatically turning itself back on.

First I switched to YouTube Music but the user experience is honestly trash and I moved on pretty quickly. The separation between video and music service was ridiculously inconsistent.

I used Tidal for a few months and I appreciated the simple UI. However, the recommendations are insanely bad. Not once have I found a new, good track on the daily mix to add to my library, it was driving me crazy.

I started using Qobuz only a few weeks ago. The track radio is honestly pretty bad so far. I start the radio on a lofi track and start hearing video game ambience noises 5 tracks later. Literally bird sounds with whitenoise from an OST album. I havent tried the daily/weekly queue a lot yet, but I hope its decent because I dont know what to try next.

I wish Spotify hadn't entshittified, it had the best recommendations/radios by far but its just not usable for me anymore.
