I have not played either of these, but the premise of a dead post-MMO world, PAGAN: Autogeny, seems personally more interesting to me.

Respect for the GOG link (gotta reduce Steam's monopoly-like grip on digital games), but... CrossCode, despite its fantastic presentation, wore me down to the point of not finishing it. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas halfway through because all of the dungeons involve multiple ricochet-angling puzzles, even all the way to the last one. They just got so tedious and boring that I eventually ended up "finishing" by watching someone else's play-through.

It has an interesting plot, but... yeah. Anyway, that was my personal experience.

I read that Revolt doesn't have screen-sharing, which is a deal-breaker for my group. I wonder how well Matrix's is...

What do you mean? Are you implying that the non-spiritual can't do so?

TBH, yeah, underarm hair is unattractive in Western society (or at least in the US, I think), so I would probably shave them if I took that route. Either way, it looks more like something one would wear at home: super-casual when one should probably step it up at least just a bit when outside among strangers—but that's just me!

That show's first episode was so slow and boring that I couldn't even finish it, sadly.

The time-travel visual novel and anime Steins;Gate uses this multiverse premise, yeah.

That's how I interpreted it, yeah.

Thanks!

Holy moly, I didn't know that Pidgin is open-source! Maybe I'll reconsider it...

It is my humble opinion that this was Tom Cruise's best movie.

Wait, is this for all Chase CCs? Where do we go for this?

I'm guessing that some manufacturers just don't want to bother with the setup of their own PoS system, or they find Amazon lands them so many more sales that the alternative upkeep isn't really worth it.

Sure, but I'm still talking about overall bugs, quality, and presentation.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy (after applying community bugfix mods) is better; with ZRP, Shadow of Chernobyl was bug-free except for the ending.

Then again, I played the original biggest known as Metro 2033, not the Redux ver. I still think there is more interesting stuff in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., though, overall. The environment is incredible in its natural, unscripted interactions and not... manufactured.

They have free shipping

... depending on the seller. YMMV, widely.

Gotcha. Yes, I stuck to my own mini-feed of a multireddit comprising about 30 subreddits (even though I'm subscribed to probably a hundred). I could not stand the random nature of the ADHD-inducing main feed. For example, instead of /r/Android, I was exclusively in either /r/fossdroid or my own phone model's specific sub. /r/buyitforlife is awesome as well as /r/zerowaste. I just followed my own interests, haha, and I guess that's how I ended up with my overall continually positive experience of Reddit (on average lol).

I think of words' pronunciation as I type them, with no literal audio/particular human voice or vocal range. How do you envision words upon/right before typing?

Brain damage from stress lol. I find myself occasionally typing "there" instead of "their" and have to catch myself. I always reread what I type before sending so I fix it before sending, but I never made this mistake before. Somehow, over the years, probably from stress of various kinds (and this dates back to pre-COVID), I began to process language aurally and less visually, so if it sounds close enough and I'm not really thinking about what I'm typing, I'll use the wrong word.

I've never typed "payed" before, though, and I see that across Reddit increasingly. It's just crazy that that and "could/would of" have exploded over recent years.

I thought it was planned, haha.
