I still watch YouTube by subscribing to channels with RSS. I see what the people I follow upload. Nothing more, nothing less.

That is until you encounter your first loot box, gacha, or whatever scheme your game of choice is running.

Ah, the notorious "please uninstall me" button

The daily grind can kill your desire to play even if the game's generous enough to let you continue for free.

I used to play a really generous gacha with that kind of system. The game was legitimately fun at first, but the daily tasks and time-sensitive events wore me down. I wasn't hurting for resources. My gamer achievement-hunting brain was wired to do it all, to the point where it started to feel more like a job than a game. This kind of design is rotten to the core regardless of the price tag. Just let me experience the game at my own pace instead of setting a schedule for me.

If you search for Unreal Tournament on the Epic Games Store, it lists them as "Top Results From Other Stores" and points you to a URL that resolves with: Server Not Found.

If Epic care so little about their own products, why should I?

That would be all the time, for all time

That's how they'll kill it. I have no reason to log into old.reddit anymore because they're removing my access point to the site (RSS).

Rogue, or something like it

You talking about this?

There's been an option to pause updates for ages now that does not work. Did that finally get updated?

I also recommend Thunar

It's had a software section for a while, but its primarily used for game development tools.

I need to play more recent SMT games, but I'm hooked on the aesthetics of the SNES ones

Microsoft's living in opposite land, pushing out updates that create bugs instead of fixing them.

And Discord's is particularly bad. Even Windows takes its time between update checks. It's the first thing Discord does every time you launch it.

Going through the settings now. I was using the desktop client because the web browser version didn't support voice activity (only push to talk), but it looks like that's no longer the case?
