Why are more notifications inherently desirable? My lock screen is a disaster and I honestly don't have that many apps. I can recall in 2007 when even having third party apps was a debatable topic. Call me fogeyish but it's inargu

Do they have this problem in India? Seems like they have had a long history of multiple mainstream diets and even have standard symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSSAI_new_labels_for_veg_...

I wonder if India points to the future of this kind of thing. They have a labelling system that seems to work quite well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSSAI_new_labels_for_veg_... the cute names like farmers&#x2F

Touchiness is a hangover from the unjust war on drugs. Also, why alcohol is worse is so frequently cited. It will probably go away as stigma rapidly fades

Very nice work. Though, is "homelab" meaningful jargon to people here? I definitely had to google that term.

I think all of those games are absolutely tiny when you take into account human scale. You can't traverse any real world city in the few minutes or so it would take for Geralt to circumnavigate the entirety of Novigrad. Agree that you

Souls series is probably exemplary of an "okay, I'm a kid again" game for me. It's just so left field in many ways yet familiar. Souls makes me nostalgic about my gaming past that is not even historically accurate, they

Morrowind has a some interesting lore but is the textbook definition of a 'fetch quest' game. I'm not sure I can even remember the plot of any of the missions. Their modern games, while often hackneyed in the writing dept are

These games are weird and have a bizarrely long shelf life that is often (unfairly in my view) thrashed in the gaming consciousness. All of the games have this half life where you love it for the first 60 hours, enjoy for another 100 hours

Vivec was probably magical at the time but I literally cannot navigate from memory. Every canton blurs together and traversal is time consuming. I think Whiterun or Megaton are quite well designed. Deprecating authored settlements in Fallou

> My mage portals aren't appreciated nearly as much! :) non combat abilities is something I feel like modern MMO needlessly eschew. Some people just want to fish and read lore and don't care about combat segments at all.

I'm actually fairly new to WoW and I can't stand modern version. Classic is a way better experience for beginners in my view. The modern WoW is too manic and there's no mystery, sense of achievement for leveling. Leveling in

It's quite a tired engine at this stage but Bethesda have actually been rather tech forward in the past. Especially with MS acquisition, some kind of procedural cloud-assisted world would make a ton of sense. However, towns with 300 ho

From a pure marketing perspective the problem is Master Chief is such a blank slate unless you are pretty steeped in the lore. ie Pikachu has already sold a lunchbox by the time you have explained what the space marine guy is about. This al
