Instead it uses Tor network [...]
Are you sure? Do they use that alongside the weird blockchain backend they had going, or switch over at some point? I remember looking into Session awhile ago but I wrote it off because of the blockchain/cryptocurrency shenanigans involved in the architecture.
As I recall part of the idea was that the cryptocurrency would serve as a sort of incentive for people to run nodes for the Session network to operate.
Where's a Garak? the new hit game of finding characters like Garak in other media!
Yeah, you got what I was trying to ask about! Also interesting that you take the games angle, as they have a sort of extra "problem" imo apart from narrative trope stuff, which is related to the gameplay. Similar situation as with stories just with gameplay one may have experienced a million times already.
If the story's compelling enough, it can help pull a game through, or vice versa, where the gameplay helps you gloss over an average story, but ideally they're both doing enough that you have a great experience all around. Personally I've hit a snag with games lately where it's the gameplay stuff more than the stories that haven't been managing to keep my interest.
To clarify a little, it's not so much experiencing for plot twists as it's a matter of becoming overfamiliar with some story structure/beats in genres so that they may lose some of their appeal or interest. It's kind of like the journey ceases to be a journey after awhile and is a little more like a regular commute, so even if you were more after the journey than the destination, you're gradually in a weird spot where you're out of luck.
Does that somehow...Not happen for folks who continue to enjoy genre fiction? That's more of what I'm wondering.
Suppose while being anything other than human?
Yeah, what the fuck?
Thanks for the insight!
Use good shoes [...]
This is such a tricky part of it all, given different gaits/fits/feet though, isn't it? That's been my experience anyway.
Would specialized velcro for beards help?
Is this how one joins the merfolk?
Aren't almost all (if not all) the storage manufacturers guilty of futzing up their production at some point? In the different threads concerning this issue with SanDisk, I'm pretty sure I've read of people recounting issues with many of the different manufacturers.
Doesn't help that there seem to be fewer real options thanks to consolidation over the years.
Thanks!
In principle I'm inclined to agree, however isn't this glossing over the degree to which markets are consolidated?
You try to opt out of products/services and choose more ethical alternatives, but it turns out the most readily available alternatives are in some way connected to the same unethical parent company. Ultimately the individualistic approach to addressing these matters is untenable and requires collective action in some form (ideally it would be leveraging a government that reflects the interests of the people).
