The status quo is the problem, so it would have to be some basic logic defying magic.

While I understand the intention here is to reassure people that not all is lost and there’s still time for action, a take like this is going to be paraphrased into “climate change is overblown and isn’t something to worry about” by Big Oil and other major polluters.

Oh, didn’t notice that the title says love or hate.

So I hate time sinks, but I love roguelikes/roguelites that have well done metaprogression and also allow you to have fun with ridiculous overpowered builds.

Ubisoft is the worst offender!

There’s a special level of hell for people that do that!

Time sinks in MMOs at least give you something to show off to other players. Doing this stuff in single player is the worst.

I suppose some games could be an acquired taste, but usually the need to invest time before you can have any fun is just bad game design.

Any sort of not respecting the player’s time: grind, making the player do the computer’s job (e.g., not having an auto-sort button for the inventory), time sinks, unskippable cutscenes, slow walking etc.

Well, it adds a bit of suspense to a horror game. Not very scary if you can just save every minute.

By the way, the UK constitution also isn’t a single document.

This is NOT how you use text-shadow! 🤮

That’s not the end of the world, but fragmentation of the Web certainly doesn’t benefit anyone.

That’s a good question. Safari market share isn’t as big as Chrome’s (62.55% vs 20.5%, according to statcounter), but it’s still the 2nd largest. Also note that the WEI proposal appeared around May but made the news only now.

Maybe when we allowed money (here represented by the size of the browser market share) to translate directly into political power (here represented by the ability to enforce arbitrary standards).
