    Most of Reddit honestly. Puns, low effort, image posts, usernames that are there to purely get attention. Bots (those ones that try to correct people's spelling or whatever).

    I think everyone saw this coming. Stadia worked well if your internet was fast and stable enough, however, this severely limits the potential user base and growth in the future in a way that isn't really in Google's direct control.

    E.g. Sony/Microsoft can always make their consoles cheaper to increase player base, but Google cannot make good internet access cheaper, faster and more reliable (outside of expensive long term projects like Google Fibre).

    This is one of the major concerns I had with Stadia. Google's inability to stay interested in a particular area for long before canning a project. Makes me reluctant to spend money on it.

    I didn't realise it was also on the App Store. Downloaded and given it ago, thanks!

    It's really frustrating that the Slide app claims to be a "beautiful Reddit browser" but then provides no screenshots to back that up.

    Currently reading A Gentleman in Moscow. Wonderful book so far. I'm also reading Batman: Year One at the same time, which is pretty cool.

    Yeah I didn't understand what generation this was for at first. At least Playstation has a pretty clear naming convention.

    CK3 looks really good from what I've seen/read, I played a lot of CK2. But I don't think my laptop is gonna be able to run it very well unfortunately.
