It's hard to blame Niel entirely but the newer Cosmos was terrible. Nothing of substance and way too much talk about religion. I don't mind Niel but he can really be an insufferable cunt irl

Yes and it's also terrible. It goes without saying really

I pirated it. It worked, I didn't run into any bugs like 1.0, and I had fun, on my steam deck no less. I didn't finish and I might go back to it at some point, but that doesn't say as much for the game as it does my attention span. I rarely finish games. I'd go as far as to recommend it now based on what I played.

I maintain that I'm glad they were able to fix it and market the improvements earnestly. They made good on their initially bad project, and that should be applauded.

RuneScape was just a series of typing exercises for me. Eventually I got an auto typer but I'd still throw in my own messages to try to throw off the bot detection

Playing Mario 64 with a d-pad is just as bad now as it was on the DS

The best conspiracy ever conceived was the one that convinced people that conspiracies are absurdist caricatures of the very real threat of collusion.

All these crazy conspiracies just weaken the perception of the mundane real ones.

If I was gonna conspire, the first step would be to trivialize the idea in the first place.

With the birds I share this lonely view?

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's harder to drift if you can fully saturate your thoughts with the book. The moments where your brain already understands where a sentence is going, that's when it gets bored and starts thinking of something else while your reading speed catches up. This made a huge difference for me and counterintuitively it significantly improved my reading comprehension and reduced those moments of getting to the bottom of the page, not knowing what you just read. It's like a disconnect between reading the words and processing them. It also just makes it less tedious to reread a section, since you're blasting through it so much faster. Seriously, give it a shot.

There's speed reading apps that will flash the words at a faster pace so you have to keep up. Just bump up the speed til it's a little uncomfortable.
