People are sensitive about this. I didn't think our opinions were controversial but you got a downvote within a few minutes of leaving your comment. That was fast.

We're not even criticizing it, just saying it's not for us. I was born in 85 and used computers in the computer lab at school in the 90s that were too old to even have mice, they were keyboard only. We played educational games on them like Oregon Trail and lots of math games. These graphics remind me of those. I'm just not interested in going back that far.

The graphics are too primitive for me, which is a shame. I don't consider myself a graphics snob, but this looks like something that came out 35 years ago.

Maybe I'm the problem for clicking on a post about a game I haven't played yet, but also maybe if you include a major spoiler as your second sentence, your first sentence should mention the incoming spoiler.

Just a suggestion.

It's perfect that this has 111 points and no comments. No one has anything to add, we're all just like "yup."

Yes! It always does the loading spin animation for like 10 seconds before it shows me my downloaded album. And some albums just never work at all. I have to go online and then offline again just to make it work at all, which defeats the purpose of being offline in the first place.

I just started my free qobuz trial though, and canceled my Spotify account. I mentioned their CEO as the reason I canceled.

The offline features on Spotify are abysmal. Half my downloaded albums don't even work. It's the primary reason I'm looking for an alternative. How can an app with such a high market share be this shitty?

That's what I'm used to. The way it used to be I made sure I didn't go into the theater before the time the movie was scheduled to start because that meant watching commercials. I tried that same tactic recently and had to watch almost 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even started.

The enshitification in late stage capitalism is such a mess.

It's mostly commercials. And these commercials aren't made specifically for theaters either, they're the same crap they show on TV. Commercials are a deal breaker for me, so I just don't go to theaters anymore.

Minimum 25 minutes where I live.

I recently added CPSTD and OCD to my collection. Woo.

What makes this even more obscene is that National Forests and parks make a profit even though they are services and aren't supposed to. They're taking the profits that these collect and giving them to billionaires.

You're both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.
