Very similar story and I also discovered Sanderson and went from reading basically nothing to binging every published Cosmere book over the course of a year and a half.

Now I read much more regularly.

I feel like Sanderson is a gateway author haha

Satisfactory

No, they do not?

Totally agree. The DAW space is depressingly neglected as FOSS and I can’t imagine why. 15 years ago I was certain there would one day be a FOSS DAW that had the same love put into it as Blender.

I like using peazip since it’s open source and includes 7-zip along with it

I’m playing Counter-Strike 2

… exclusively on a modded server hosting a Warcraft mod

… that I found because I was searching for the same thing I played on CS:S over a decade ago

Do you not see the logic of my plan?
Yes, but it just seems too heartless.

But then your loyal servants won’t be able to find it either to bring you back.

Booey is close enough to boy for the joke to still work just fine.

It’s about time we give Ohio to the yogurt.

I’m surprised so few people have mentioned Thunder, which I use. Is there something keeping it from being more popular?

Sounds like you might enjoy WoW Classic

Shame that Baldur’s Gate 3 doesn’t have any one-armed Herdazian jokes

I found out that Satisfactory is on sale right now, and will go up in price by $10 after the sale. So if you want it before 1.0 comes out now would be a great time.

A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Stardew valley is 2D so fewer controls to learn than a 3D game. It also has a cute art style.

Update 8 is on stable. From the wiki

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901. This patch was released on 14 November 2023. It is the last patch of Update 8 development, bringing its features to the stable branch.

WoW Classic: Season of Discovery, and I recently started my second playthrough of Satisfactory now that Update 8 is out.

I can only speak from the experience of one app at one company, but data we collected was for troubleshooting. Mainly because customers will email us stuff like “your app doesn’t work!!! Worst company ever!!” And absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. To make matters worse they’ll email with an email that they didn’t give us as a customer so how in the world are we supposed to help‽
So we collect enough data so whoever in the company might need to help them can actually do so.
There’s a lot of “this app is impossible to use!!!” That we find out with enough data collection is just them refusing to hit the GIANT button in the middle of the damn screen that would solve their problem. I hate users.
I believe we answered questions in the Apple and Google stores that says that we collect information and send it to 3rd parties (because analytics platforms are technically 3rd party) but not to sell it. I don’t know if that distinction is clear on the stores though.

I didn’t?
