    I mostly don’t like the movement. Feels very… “floaty”. Also the fact that when it released it only had controller mapping icons for the tool tips (this is how I remember it. Don’t know if they fixed it afterwards.)

    I’m playing with a mouse mad keyboard ffs, just tell me which key to press. I don’t know wtf L3 is on a keyboard.

    The world and story looks very interesting. I really want to like it… But I don’t.

    This is me yesterday… And other days… And then I can’t fall asleep because I am too worried that I should be asleep already and that I have to wake up early. This causes my absolute favourite feedback loop.

    Sometimes I just love being a human being :')



  • Started during covid to avoid going outside, plus I had one of the big players in food delivery as a client, so I got a monthly 20€ voucher. That got me hooked.

    I got used to it, became lazier, completely got cooking out of my routine and I the process gained 30Kg that I’m now slowly trying to get off for the past 6months or so.

    In a nutshell, I got addicted to junk food and was too lazy to go get it. Also had enough money to allow me to do it, even if I shouldn’t for health and economic reasons… Could be saving for something like the down-payment on a house but nope. Spending it on junkfood+delivery (luckily tipping isn’t a thing here).

    Trying to break that habit now.

    As a bonus: I ordered a lot from BurgerKing. Until the end of 2022 they had free delivery above 12€. I’d easily get to the 12€.

    Around January 2023 they changed the website to offer delivery ABOVE 15€ and that was crap because my orders usually didn’t go that high. Turns out they fucked it up when coding it and if you managed to get exactly 15€ it would completely bypass this check and give you free delivery.

    Someone needs to go back to basic math >= :)

    Unfortunately they fixed it in early November. Good thing though as it might discourage me from ordering even further.
















  • When registering for stuff I always pay very close attention to not check the “send me offers and promotions” checkbox, unless I am genuinely interested.

    If any gets by, or if any by default signs you up, whenever I get an email from them I’ll go to the bottom of the email and unsubscribe.

    This means that all the marketing emails are from things that I genuinely have interest on. Sometimes, even these things get too spammy and unsubscribe from those that kinda act abusive. They aren’t your “FREE LIMITED IPHONES! OPEN NOW!” kind of emails. Those I mark as spam, hoping to improve the detection system on whatever email client, and move on.

    So, essentially, I have “free time” to read those as much as you and I have “free time” to come here on lemmy. It’s something I am interested on.

    Edit: just realised I didn’t specifically answer your questions but it’s basically:

    1. Just a regular guy.
    2. I am interested in the ones I do get.
    3. Sometimes before sleep or when I go to the bathroom I look at emails/lemmy/others.

    Edit2: I think there’s a distinction to make here between SPAM emails and Newsletters. SPAM emails are mostly sent based on leaked emails lists or something. Newsletters, you usually sign up for them (knowingly or not).

    Edit3: Bonus ProTip - If you use Gmail you can get a + sign after your email and before the @ symbol and whatever your write on there is ignored. So for instance myemail+otherwords@gmail.com will still forward to myemail@gmail.com . This means you can kind of find out who leaked your email if you register as “email+websitename@gmail.com”, however this tip is getting known a bit more so some websites now sanitize your email and it won’t work as intended… :(

    Also, if for some reason you’ll be using the email as the login it can be kinda crap.

    Sorry for the long comment :) interesting topic.
