I guess you're right, but especially Instagram for me is something that relies on this numbness doom scrolling comes with. Every other thing has another driver. Like YT or Twitch is something for entertainment like TV, so (semi) active watching stuff, Facebook and twitter (now X) is something to get angry about, but Instagram is unsatisfying scrolling without knowing why. But why let it stop here and there, if it breaks this drooled scrolling. And if you're in need of this feeling, there is also tiktok (as of right know, until the unstoppable ads are profitable).

Wouldn't it be funny, if that would end the doom scroll cause suddenly it's a disturbance and can't be skipped like other non liked content, so it breaks the trance and leaves the user with anger instead of numbness?

If you don't have much time to spare I would recommend to wait a little more. It would still be a big support if you buy it at full price in fall.

Yeah, but you still have to pay social taxes on top for every worker. That's why salary and labour cost are two different things. And boy is it a difference in Germany.

Not only this, they cut the budget starting 2025 by a lot and only productions with >400k on their own will be qualified to apply for a state funding. Cause that will be a good reason for each state (Bundesland) to rise their funding (Berlin has some millions and Hessen 260k/year funding budget). Or at least that was one of the arguments to cut the state budget.

Wasn't it that COVID came as a surprise for most scientists cause they bet on avian flu viruses? So it isn't any new info and a fear they've had for quite some time now.

I heard from a guy from the German COVID watch (RKI), that the probability for a new epidemic is around 2.x% each year and around 1.x% for a pandemic. That's why there is a big epidemic around every 30-50 years and a pandemic every 80-100 years. What type of virus will be the next big thing is nothing but a guess and often wrong (like COVID out of nowhere), cause it's difficult to predict the next mutation of a virus. That's also why a lot of flu vaccines in the past didn't have the effect they hoped for (mostly it's still a very good vaccine!).

South Korea rated it in February and a couple of other countries as well. Wasn't there a rating on April 1st?

Some people on reddit mentioned, that a game has to be playable to be rated, but not finished (like bugfixing,...).

But it's definitely good news!

Oh yeah! And it's "this is nightwish" in a normal song length and not "do you have 10minutes to spare?"

Always love it seeing/hearing it live. But I think "Ghost love score" is even better, especially the Wacken 2013 version. Those last notes!

I know how bitcoin works. But this cap of 21m will be around 2100 or even later if the mining power stays the same as today. So nobody reading this post will be alive around that time. And the same for El Salvador. Should all the people alive right now suffer, cause in around 100 years a theory of a new way for money could succeed? (And no, I don't think bitcoin will ever be more than money laundering and daytraiding craziness ending in more money for the people laundering)
