Huh, a new thought.. Micro? Why is it called "micro" transactions still when theres nothing micro about them any longer? Skins for 20$ and the like isnt exactly micro. Should probably be called desi-transactions. Deca-transactions in some cases.

Well, movies and music doesnt come with microtransactions. Unless we count popcorn, and concert merch, i guess.

That I can believe. I'm too young for that. Didn't get to play until Morrowind.

Same. I almost always hold on games until just after release, when the preorder is still up, so I can read user reactions and gameplay videos before buying but still get the crappy preorder rewards.

Unless Bethesda fucks anything up behind the scenes, I think this modding scene is gonna be BIG.

But it IS still the least buggy Bethesda game yet, that I believe. If all people got to complain about is lack of some HDR shit, theres not much to complain about.

I've only found a few bugs so far: One enemy floating in air, and followers who aren't good at following.

Its only recently-ish (2020) become prescription-less here in Norway, and only in small amounts. We are a very conservative country when it comes to healtcare.

Yeah, I'm not rich enough to pay for every site and service either. A site like rockpapershotgun I left when it paywalled most of its contents, it wasn't important enough to me to pay for. I've never paid for reddit, but i probably should have by how much i used it. Not that I will do that after what they've pulled lately. I donate to a fediverse server to put my money where my mouth is and at least pay for what I want to keep alive.

Without a prescription we only get 1mg pills anyway around here anyway. Is whats recommended.

It HAS given me more dreams lately. Nothing bad. But I only had one nightmare as an adult. And it rarely shows up anyway.

I disagree. I hate ads with a passion too. But as long as we can pay a sum to remove it, it is fair to have a free option with ads. A kinda unlimited "demo".

We are fools for thinking anyone would give away their own time and effort for free forever. We have completely lost the perspective of how much things should cost because of how much we've taken for granted that was paid for with our personal data. And the biggest fools is those who think most software developers and server admins can live reliably on donations alone.

Though Youtube is taking the ads a bit far, maybe. One shouldn't scare away users before they have even become customers.

And it could do with an automated language filter. Because I'm getting a lot of German in my feed, would rather not.

But I don't want anyone to make assumptions about "people like me". Those kinds of services are always ways off.

At best I could do with a feed from followers of my follows. But repost kinda does that already.

A comment to reposts would be nice though.

Im near the end of BG3, and "stuck": I'm just unwilling to end it. Happens often with RPGs for me. So a good time to take a break and play something else.

Looks like a good read to get me in the mood for the Starfield game that is coming out soon.

Are you even playing the lottery? VERY unlikely if you arent.

A reliable sleep schedule.

I've been having trouble with it for a LONG time. But last week I found that 2mg melatonin before bed makes me both fall asleep easier AND wake up in a better mood/less sleep inertia. I'm hoping it lasts.

Cyberpunk! I read Let Slip the Beasts by Suzanne Berget yesterday. I recommend it. Not too long either.

Today I'm gonna find another cyberpunk book to read. Maybe Nexus by Ramez Naam that someone else recommended me.

I wouldn't know what to do with one if I got it, unless its work related. I barely even call my family without a good reason.

Don't need to tell me twice. I've distrusted Brave since I saw their advertisement for it. It just feels like they sell the browser in same mood as pyramid schemers does their products.

But its just my gut feeling. Got no good reason why people should avoid the browser. And because the CEO is an ass isn't a good enough reason for most people.
