I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as a Gull, is in fact, Sea/Gull, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Sea plus Gull. Gull is not an categorization unto itself, but rather another component of a full identity made useful by the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species components comprising a full identification as defined by its scientific classification.

This would drive teenage me crazy, fr fr on god.

Sometimes games ship updates that mess with the game. I have over 20,000 hours in WoW. But my play habits from over almost 2 decades ago don't reflect the current quality of the game.

And some people compulsively play games they don't enjoy because "once I get to the next thing, it will finally be fun!" And maybe this person had an awakening and realized that they will never get there... Or after this amount of time had a drastic change of heart.

And some people leave games open when they aren't playing.

I'm not saying this is normal or necessarily healthy, but it's not unfeasible.

It isn't just about ungoogling things though. Having a monoculture in the browser space means that if Google makes a push to favor ads, say by removing certain extension support from their browser engine that everyone uses, then the entire internet suffers. It is effectively a monopoly.

Mozilla tries really hard sometimes to be unappealing, but there is value in not just letting Google have full control over the internet.

Its possible that being the platform meant they wouldn't have been bought up.

"Well I bet your power bill went way up!" Maybe. But not by as much as my gas station bill went down.

Chanting Winged Dames sing a series of melodic Latin verses. This song is the only one in the game truly in Latin.

You are correct. The only real Latin in the game isn't done by a boss, and definitely not in a second phase.

When old testament says to love someone instead of just smiting people, you know that shit is serious.

Yes! Great point. If you find any other book that you really like (Mending being a perfect example)... keep the librarian... find a new villager, and start the process over.

If you find a villager with no job. Trap it. Place a lectern next to it. It becomes a librarian. Check what it sells. Silk touch? Nope. Break the lectern, the villager reverts to not a librarian. Villagers only keep their jobs if you have bought something from them. Replace the lectern, check (it now has new items for sale), break, rinse and repeat. Once you find it, buy it and the librarian will be locked to always sell it.

Only downside is you need emeralds. But on the upside, you get infinite silk touch.
