I don’t have the time to Google atm but there’s a growing body of experts shifting to the “it doesn’t actually matter”. Here’s a podcast about it but there are definitely more sources to find: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/lifematters/the-myth-of-good-posture/13864470

I saw another comment in the thread about ensuring you get movement in – that’s what my PT hammered into me.

This is my favorite stupid review from a local bookstore:

Ah gotcha. I don’t know of a foss version but you can use Buzzkill or STFO to make a notification rule that turns up sound for a matching text message or something like that. I.e. send a text “ring my phone” and make a rule for it to do a sound

You can use the play sound button to make it ring

I read all the one star reviews. If they are all something akin to “my food was too colorful” or “the waitress didn’t refill my water enough” then it’s probably ok

This thread is so fascinating. I agree with the OP 100% and it’s so strange to me to see the arguments against them.

Like, games as designed now are predatory. My kids get a game and are bombarded with shiny ways to extract more money.

OP’s point on MMOs is that they provide servers and that means a monthly subscription and the only way (originally) to get stuff was to grind.

I just have Lemmygrad blocked and I never see this

I have been saying “Press ‘Y’ to be a weenie” for as long as I can remember

This worked ok. I read through the summary in under a minute.

I would say that the article I linked in another comment was definitely a better read, though.

For those like me, I’m trying this: https://gamerant.com/simcity-franchise-history-2013-new-game-when-maxis-sims/

Thoroughly interested in this. But why can’t I just read it? I wish this wasn’t a video.

StarCraft 2. I have too much to think about in real life so I need something that forces me to devote 100% of my attention to it. I don’t particularly care if I lose so I can just queue again and again and come out with my brain reset.

Well now I’m sitting in a different chair. And I don’t like that chair as much. 😡

Agreed, but the reason why is this is how you make money. Videos can be monetized more easily.

I’ve only ever used it for binaries.

Do you have a source for the outlets changing their poll results? I did a search myself but couldn’t find anything. I find that very interesting and wanted to read more!

I lucked into lemm.ee and it’s been great. I decided to kick a few dollars in a month because hey why not? Highly recommend.
