Netflix used to be pretty good. Then they started prioritizing advertisement over user experience so now it takes time to even get back to the shows you watched before.

Everyone has followed this exact same pattern so all the streaming services are terrible now. While pricing has gone through the roof.

Don't even get me started on the region and country based bullshit. Somehow these huge conglomerates aren't able to offer the same selection everywhere.

I've been using Vivaldi for a few years now and it's been great. I really like it's tab management, tiling etc features.

I'd argue that logos are a hugely expressive form. It's just that 90% of them are basic ass shit tier stuff.

AI has basically raised the level of "shit tier" pretty high. I sometimes go check out Hotone Audio's Facebook page to see if there are new firmware updates for my device, but they mainly peddle pointless AI slop marketing images. I'm sure there are tons of companies like this.

It's the literal example of the marketing person being able to churn out pictures without an artist being involved, and thus the output is a pile of crap even more vapid than stock photos.

Something like RDR2 but focused on the life sim part. Instead of narrative driven game where your main action in the world is violence, go all in on the simulation part with actually working economics, job choices etc.

I want to be a lumberjack hauling wood to the local mill via the river, not a bandit robbing every passer by. Also, I should be able to buy high heels from the big city store.
