I mean, “obviously causing damage to our health”
The issue with that is the question “And do what?”
Like what matters is that you do something that is actually healthy for your body. Internet is if anything probably a step up from the age of couch surfing on the TV, since you at least need to actively navigate it. Mostly meaning to say that you could easily just choose something that isn’t any better.
But either way you’d be better off just choosing something healthy to do, like exercise.
I still use redirects to visit Reddit (I don’t bother if they don’t work), mainly because one of the main communities I track didn’t really move here.
Does Youtube count? That’s pretty much the only other thing I could think of.
I’m not
I can’t even try using an alternative redirect because apparently all of them are blocked.
The first time I gave up was basically just too much back and forth with Windows. Wine was still not there yet and Proton wasn’t even a thing yet though.
I’ve used it a lot on laptops still, but haven’t gone to a desktop mainly because friends still like to bounce between games that I have to worry if my system will even support (for anti-cheat reasons not for normal compatibility reasons)
Currently using on steam deck and it’s great, am planning for next PC because it feels like too much work to do on a current one when everything is already working the way I want it to.
Gnome’s current state is too far from the UI interface for people who only know windows. Maybe if it was Gnome2.
Normalized???
It’s still literally rated as less family friendly than watching blood and gore murder.
If anything I’d argue that sexual repression is still going as strong as ever in some places. In some cases to unhealthy amounts.
Kaguya opening 1 (Love Dramatic) for it’s smoothness
One Piece Opening 13 (One Day), it has a very “complete” feeling for how encompassing the arc is
Gundam Wing Opening 2 (Rhythm Emotion), is basically what made me enjoy music as a kid
Full Metal Alchemist (OG) opening 2 (Ready Steady Go) . It’s got so much energy
Yu-gi-oh opening zero (Kawaita Sakebi). For some reason it’s become so iconic that I think it’s more well known than the openings for the mainline series (I blame abridged but I remember listening to it before abridged came out)
I mean…if you want unmodded entirely, don’t you just go to 4chan?
You need some moderation and they can’t all be exploitive self entitled if that can be argeed on. it has be working somehow
Power supplies and motherboards for PCs
generally if either of them go the rest of your investment goes with it. Worst case scenario the power supply damages the motherboard meaning your cheap purchase made you lose more parts.
3rd person shooters are already a small niche and that’s without even including platformer!
Nobody can figure out what you’re saying because you’re associating “good” with a subgenre of a subgenre
You’re…just objectively wrong then. A Hat in Time was one of the best platformers released in the past 10 years, and even if you don’t like it you can’t base the entire genre on your own opinion.
From what i’m gathering your issue is less that the genre is bad and more that there aren’t a lot of “dark, gritty, realistic” platformers…which…there never was.
Like unless PS2 somehow had literally all of them *you haven’t given examples other than ratchet and clank) You got Sonic and Mario in early 3D, Banjo Kazooie and DK 64 at the peak of early 3D, conker’s bad fur day which is dark but also extremely cartoony…
Then you got platformers like Okami which again…cartoony. Goemon’s 3D platformers and thats all cartoon
Like I’m basically trying to say more games in the platformer genre were cartoony than not throughout 3D platformer history and we need more examples of what you really mean
But like you’re basically making a claim the entire genre currently is bad over an opinion of something that was never really that common to begin with.
edit: I even tried looking up platformers on PS2 and was greeted with Sly2, Rayman (did that have a 3d platformer?), psyconauts, Spongebob: BFBB
Like great games yeah, but the thing you’re basing the entire topic on really seems to be a minority if your issue is a particular art style…
?? That doesn’t make a game good. That’s just artistic choice
I mean, I won’t say everything is better, but it’s not exactly as bad as you’re saying either.
Sure, 1000s of games are bad. 1000s of games were bad in the 90s and 2000s too. Bugsby 3D was allowed to exist.
OP isn’t even able to say games back in the day were good as he has already bashed N64 and Gamecube (lame move btw, Goemon’s Great Adventure I still play every year). He’s very much just thinking of PS2.
How many people have missed out on Hat In time exactly?
So…you grew up with Ps2 is what i’m hearing.
Can’t really work with this without examples. I don’t think 3D platformer quality went down but I also think it’s always been all over the place.
Like Hat in Time wasn’t that long ago.
let’s see…got a picture of “3D platformers in past 10 years”

I’m looking at it and honestly I need examples as to where you think Ps2 beat out this list so blatantly that there’s a clear issue.
Why would you ever want to risk it getting too cold vs just waiting for a few seconds?
Though I don’t think that’s too big a loss when you’re using it to sleep. If you used time stop for something that was both exhausting and wasting your time, that’d probably be worse honestly.
It would certainly become noticeable after awhile since as you said, it’s one third of your life.
I mean, it probably depends on how happy you are with your life.
Depending on how it works i’d probably just use time stop to lose less time from sleeping. There’s a lot of ways to improve your life with time stop before ever delving into morals.
Warcraft III had maps called “RP Maps”, which were kindof like D&D placing things, except everyone had the same control over the map. So it became more about telling a story rather than one person leading a group’s game for them.
When wc3 kindof died off that kindof game along with many others didn’t leave it. SCII mapmakers tried but it had issues with the complexity, and with SCII not allowing traditional saving for long sessions.
A lot of sandbox games are cool, but built around FPS engines instead of anything third person.
I mean, we do have the phrase “Take justice into your own hands”
You can do wrong by someone that receives retribution, without a law being present for it.
Laws just make that much, much, much less murky.
