  • Lol I wish I had the time to play 3 different games a day. Really, I have lots of small play sessions mostly on the weekends. Depending on what I have going on, I might not play anything for a week. Then other times I get to play something every night for a short window.

    In reality, my longest streak this year was 23 days and steam says I played 34 different games in that time. Steam deck sure cranked up my play session counts too. And most of those games I’ve already beat. I might get an itch to go through a whole game (like the batman Arkham series, just replayed all that over those 23 days) but usually I just get an itch to play a small bit of this or that.





  • I miss the days of people having their own bespoke collection of their favorite movies and shows. Everything is homogenized now. At least when I pirate, I’m still building my own personal media library. And I never have to worry about the show I like being removed later.

    But I’m not gonna lie. The quality drop off in content caused by streaming services I think is a bigger issue

    Netflix activity tries to make content that’s not actually good enough to watch without browsing a phone. Second screen content, they call it. And I guarantee someone in a finance role realized they could make way more by doing just enough to keep people, rather than try to actively create amazing content, because it’s soo much cheaper to not pay for good writers, or good set designers or actors when you could just find someone who’s good enough. I think it’s because the money people spend is recurring, linked to the service as a whole, and not linked to the individual work… users have to vote by watching now, and some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen is also some of the least watched.
