Stranger Things is a great example of what happens when a franchise hits it big early and the creators are given free reign (and no editors). Trimming twenty minutes from each episode would have done so much to help it.

After hearing everyone gush about Balatro for so long I find it a bit... weird that it didn't wow me when I finally played it over the weekend. Do I need to stick with it?

Now that I'm 50+ I believe the reason older people don't sleep as much is less about not needing sleep and more about chronic pain and crushing anxiety. Maybe that's just me idk.

Just started Pluribus and it's neat and all, but if it doesn't ask and answer some of my own questions I will be incredibly disappointed. Much like puzzle games should thoroughly explore the space their mechanics provide, so must thought-provoking shows explore theirs.

I sent an extremely rude reply to a political text spam and got a reply "Thanks for your time have a nice day" and now I feel so guilty. We're on the same side! But I absolutely don't want you polluting my day with unsolicited pings.

Sure fire way to get me to use your boosters in your f2p game? Make the UI painful to look at when I accumulate too many.

I love how the charging icon covers the middle third of the battery indicator on iPhone. So you can easily tell if you have less than 20%, more than 80%, but nothing in between.

As much as I love Don’t Starve, backing the board game Kickstarter for $80 and getting hit with half a dozen $20 expansion sets as add-ons just feels gross.

Woke up to an alarm at 3am that I meant to set for 3pm. Yes, it’s my fault, but it has happened so many times that I’d still call it a UI/UX bug. The iOS alarm app is shit.
