I realized I only have the patience for (relatively) short singleplayer games (I just hate grinding in general in video games).
Some of my favorites are:
NieR:Automata (around 40-60 hours of playtime. This one might seem ironic, as it does have some repetition, but it has no grinding and always something interesting new. It also has by far the best story of any game I've ever played)
The Beginners Guide (4 hours of gameplay. It is super unique and has a cool take on psychology, which I haven't seen in any other game or movie. But you need to play it all the way to the end for it to make sense)
Noita (hard rouge like, and the only one I really enjoy. It's also very unique in its genre and you can always save and quit.)
Balatro (technically also a rouge lite, but with playing poker hands. It has short rounds and is a casual game, if you only have a few minutes ans don't know what to play)
"Back when I started playing there was no community"
I'm sorry but that's just... false. Maybe you weren't aware of it, but even in the Beta there were already mods. I myself started playing in 1.0 and played until around 1.7 and basically all the playtime I have was playing on servers or modding the shit out of this game. (Back then you actually needed to do that manually, as mod launchers weren't a thing)
So I'm still a bit confused as to why you are frustrated, since noone is forcing you to play the new vanilla versions.
Sure, the Mojang team itself tried to make it more accessible, which is a very reasonable thing to do for any game really. I know there are many games, where a wiki is mandatory, buta game should explain itself, so I understand why they did that.
However (although I haven't really followed it) the community still seems to be pretty much the same as before to me. If anything the stuff they archieved is even bigger, than back then. Stuff like Distant Horizons or the Create Mod could simply nit have existed back then.
What I'm getting at is that you don't have to play vanilla and there are more possibilities than ever before (including lots and lots of modpacks and servers, which definitely do need an external wiki)
As a german the whole tip system in the US is both redicilous and hilarious to me.
We have tipping here, too (we literally call it "drinking money"). With the difference, that it's pretty much voluntary and if you don't have much money (e.g. as a student) noone will expect you to tip.
Having tips be part of the actual wage totally defeats the point of them...
I've been using tree-style tabs since I've switched back to Firefox. It works really well and I've even disabled the tab-bar and am only using the side panel.
Looks, like I might be wrong. I thought I remembered it from this article https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord#business-model
but, while it says, that your data will probably be sold, it seems like the second part I remembered came from somewhere else, so might not be reputable. Maybe I'll later do some more research, but it took me a while already to find this blogpost again, since it's been a while, since I've read it.
Yes. Even though this one wasn't a discord breach, it's bound to happen sooner or later. But your data is probably already being sold, even without a breach, as the founder of discord is known to (illigally iirc) sell customer data, before he even founded discord.
Their official statement was, that now the GPT versions will only improve in small steps, and no really big releases at a time. This would mean, that they only saved the trademark for later use, so that no one else gets it. But, while this was an official statement, OpenAI is still a company, so they might have made this statement just to appease their competitors.
My guess based on those statements is, that GPT-5 releases around mid of next year, but we'll see.
Not really. You need to use a domain (correct me, if I'm wrong, but I think IP adresses don't work) to connect to the homeserver.
In theory you could setup a DNS server in your nezwork, which resolves this domain with the local adress and then it might work, but I'm not sure if the homeserver would like that.
Also I want to add, that I use TeamSpeak, which works perfectly globally and locally, but it's for voice chat.
NieR: Automata is also definetely my favourite tip. Especially if you want to cry.
Just as a hint: you need to play until you get ending c or d to experience the full story (and by that I mean, you are literally missing half the story otherwise). You don't need to do anything special, just keep playing.
Also after you get one you can easily do the other and then get the "true" ending.

Hijacking this comment for recommending my two favorite rouge lites Noita and Balatro. Both have the possibility to save and quit at any time.
