I think this is a greater problem with games that are technically aimed at children. There is so little respect for your time generally, but I think it’s especially egregious when it comes to menus, dialog, and animations. Additionally, there are many things that are in sequence (with large unneeded gaps between) that could happen more or less simultaneously.

Conspiratorially, I think this is to pad play time, and for kids the animations and what not are jingling keys that keep then occupied enough they don’t care or notice.

Goodnight Harada~

I’ve never been able to get a calendar to reliably trigger alarms :(

Thank you so much for saying this! One time there was a Twitter thread that started with someone asking, “What are some things that people believe/accept without having liked into it further.” Someone responded with this “the original phrase is… covenant…womb” and the OP replied with someone like, “yeah people are such sheep”. I wanted to explode.

But to back your point, you can go and read for yourself the very first instance of this phrase in context as the very old book it comes from has been digitally scanned. It’s old enough to be in middle English, but I still thought it was fairly easy to make out the original phrase as we know it today.

This is interesting because this word does get used in American English, but it’s pronounced like “row your boat” not like wow.

In a similar vein to deadcade’s comment, Ripcord also exists also an alternative. If this exchange had happened a few months ago I would’ve recommended it above anything - but unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in a very long time at this point and it’s starting to cause some core functionality to not work.

EDIT: It’s pretty much exclusively the Slack functionality that doesn’t work anymore. The Discord side is great and is IMO has a much more useful UI, ex: you can group arbitrary channels from any number of servers into a single group which is presented in the UI pretty much as a new server. No more server hopping to check out all of your favorite channels!

Pretty sure this where the blind archers in Samurai Jack live.

I don’t know what phone they’re talking about, but PinePhone disables sensors via hardware kill switches, i.e. nothing on the phone can use the sensors because they’re physically not connected anymore.
