Good piece on the conflict between science and the socio-economic context pushed by commercial interests which made the WHO publicly admit COVID was airborne late into the pandemic because it demanded a collective response rather than an individual one.

I was expecting someone to reply with a link of an actual product, but this ThinkGeek story is even better! -

More importantly, you get the whole collection, saving you multiple lookups, so it's worth something beyond the absolute average price per book. -

$300 sounds like a bargain to me for the whole disc world collection. -

♲ @LittleMissLizz@twitter.com: It’s not too late to abandon Harry Potter forever for The Discworld Series, my friends. Come over to our nerdy, little corner. There are 41 of these suckers & Terry Pratchett actually understood what it meant to treat people like humans. Have fun & know you are loved.

In theory, yes, but my motivation to play games isn’t always my own enjoyment. Often I play games because I need a break from whatever else I’m doing (working or worrying for example).
More rarely I play games just for my own enjoyment, and the games I’m playing for themselves in this context rarely last me long, regardless of their design merits. I usually get bored of a game for itself either when I have figured it out or when I can’t quickly figure it out, so it can’t last too long by definition.
The games I stick with have a small randomness component so I have to figure out every game session on their own, but also don’t put up too much of a fight so that the difficulty feels linear to me, even over time. Lately, Deep Rock Galactic has been filling this niche spot that Dota 2 had been dominating for the past 7 years. -

My corner of the Fediverse is slow enough that if I check it too often, nothing will have changed, so I can space out checks enough to do something else and even forget about it for a while. -

You aren't wrong, but game design decision seldom are revolving about how convenient it is for the player, because it directly conflicts with the rentability imperative. Meaning it's often more profitable for a game publisher to exploit players' basest instincts like FOMO than provide a comfortable experience at the player's own pace.
I found myself dropping off such games that weren't hitting my dopamine button hard enough, so it also is a compromise on my end and why I kept playing timer-based games for so long. -

Thanks, I've been on and off these games for years, but recently it came to a head when I played two of these games at the same time and I kept switching between each other, doing little else in the few days it lasted. -

I finally removed all timer-based games from my phone. I should have done it a long time ago given that being on time to collect deliveries/productions gave me severe FOMO anxiety and I was compulsively checking my phone at all time, but now it’s done. -

Twitter has this new feature where it shows an unescapable login page to anonymous users when they reach the end of a thread including replies, essentially making the “related tweets” section unreachable, and it’s been a great time saver for me. -

Oh I'm sorry, the weird juxtaposition of "2nd straight" and "men's World Cup" is what sparked my joke, but I really didn't think anyone would be fooled. -

Thank you! 🥰
Seriously, I’m glad headline writers are starting to use “men’s World Cup” instead of just “World Cup”. Maybe it’s limited to the US where women get much better results than men, but still.
