It’s maybe 5 minutes of effort to create an account, but it’s another 5 minutes of effort to log in, and then 15+ minutes of effort to find your favorite communities. I’m willing to take that effort, but this shows how Lemmy could improve.
Please. Being toxic is not gonna help things.
Basically any Pokemon game.
And this one’s incredibly niche, but the music in Clicker Heroes 2 slaps.
I’d love to join that community but tapping the link on my phone just takes me to the lemmy.ml homepage.
Try out some incremental games! Some good popular games in the genre are Cookie Clicker, Realm Grinder, Antimatter Dimensions (and its mods), and there’s a whole world of little niche incremental games out there waiting to be discovered.
I wouldn’t recommend this game for studying. It has a tendency to hook you (in a good way). There’s a reason why people sometimes call it Cracktorio.
This is old news from a month ago.
And here’s my hot take on YT ads: They need to make money somehow, but unfortunately they are subject to “ad creep,” where they slowly increase the intensity of the ads. I’ve gotten 15+20s unskippable ads before.
But what really grinds my gears are how the ads almost seem designed to annoy you. If you commonly skip ads, that’s when you get unskippable ads all the time. And if you try to listen to YT in the shower expect the ads to come and go like radio, you come out listening to some skippable 30 minute long ad.
And I hate how the ads on mobile decide to cover the comment section. That’s ridiculous, like imagine if you’re reading a newspaper and when you get to an ad the ad suddenly expands to fill the entire page.
And the forced ads on unmonetized channels is plain cruel.
So, as much as I want to support creators (and I do leave AdBlock off on YT most of the time), I’ll come out against YT over this decision. My usage of it will drop, but only minorly.
