Having legit flashbacks right now...

Crosscode. It's not required, but they do encourage you to race against NPCs in the puzzle-heavy dungeons. I thought I had finally won one when the boss of the dungeon smoked me three times, and then I got mocked for being the last out of the dungeon. Also, I'm 27 hours in, and the plot that everyone raves about has gone absolutely nowhere. I put the game down a few months back and haven't gone back. Maybe I'll pick it up again since it seems a lot of people love something about it, but aside from some interesting combat, I wasn't feeling it at all.

Yeah, we fed ours baby cereal. She'd pack that stuff in like a tiny Japanese guy at a hot dog eating contest. We had to limit her intake.

I can't be 100% sure that it was the fault of Firefox or Ublock Origin, but I've definitely had times when videos wouldn't load or would load excessively slowly. My Internet was otherwise working entirely fine at the time.

Also, Chromecast refuses to work from Firefox. The icon you click to start it up just won't appear. It always appears in Chrome no problem.

I’m in a similar boat, but I never feel fully satisfied to release a song (probably cuz I am a hobbyist and I suck lol).

There's never a better time to put yourself out there! I resisted it for twenty years. My most "successful" release is one of my least polished tracks. I recorded it just out of university on a Pentium with a stolen microphone, pirated software, a freebie guitar, and a ZOOM 505. It's got 4 million listens and is responsible for half my income. By comparison, I've released stuff that I think sounds like it was professionally recorded in a studio that no one listens to.

I guess it's about time I got around to playing the first one, then.

I'm a teacher.

No, no. This is literally steeped ice cubes.

Hey, we're all nerds here. It's totally viable.

Maybe the evidence is anecdotal, but I've lived in Korea for 20 years, and there's always a huge new, self-contained apartment complex going up nearby. If anything, they've ramped up production in that time. While older population centers are left to decline. Maybe not in Seoul which is shoulder-to-shoulder apartment complexes already, but the smaller cities are full of decaying apartment complexes since they put them up, then completely fail to maintain them as they know their market is full of people who will move into the next complex since "gotta have the latest and greatest" is a problem here.

I suppose that would get straight to the eye-rolling and skip the confusion.

He wasn't a scammer. He fell on hard times. I bought a few things before that from him without issue.

It sucked for me, yes, but I'm a foreigner in Korea who has hardly mastered the language. Taking him to court would have been a huge hassle for me and probably involve hired translators. I'm not even entirely sure it's possible given the legal system here isn't exactly friendly towards non-natives. The apology was more than I expected.
