There's a Mahjong Balatro-like?!
I need a name.

Opened the replies looking for this one, have a good day friend!

As a guy who tries every couple years and always gives up before reaching 1000 elo, I really enjoy seeing your chess progress and I think you're doing great.

I mean, really what I wish is that art didn't have to be in constant conversation with commerce in order to justify and perpetuate its existence, but that feels like a harder problem to solve.

Very premodern of you. This is the 21st century, every second not actively engaged in value production is a wasted second. /s

Spotify's been around for over 15 years. If it's taken them that long to finally turn a profit on their product, it seems unreasonable to ask artists to continue subsidizing a system that's clearly not working.

This is part of why I'm so big on the art-as-experience framework: That album you didn't like a decade ago? It doesn't exist anymore. There's still an album out there with all the same songs, but it's a new work of art now and you might enjoy this one.
