    First off I'd like to say it's always impressive to me the amount of ingenuity and awesome things this community comes up with and is able to build, especially in such a short period of time already. Meanwhile I'm just here playing with my virtual Legos building a small tree town).

    On that note, I have vague, loose plans for the tree town. Right now just working on expanding it out and making various levels, will add more houses and other stuff later to give it a better aesthetic. If anyone has interest in adding to it, please by all means feel free, I love seeing everyone's creativity with these things.

    You see this a lot in professional sports. Sometimes some of the most successful managers in the sport used to be a player, but they were very "bad" from a professional standpoint.

    I can move the treehouse, I just started it in a spot and I can certainly expand it in a direction that doesn't interfere with the portal. I'm definitely planning to keep most of it up in the trees so if you have paths planned in the underbrush, feel free to complete that as you'd like, I'll try to keep out of the way :)

    I've started a little tree village, it's just in its base starting point but I plan on expanding it to actually be more functional.

    When I first joined I made a small little house floating over the main large crater, if it's in the way or an eyesore please feel free to remove, I'm not really planning to use it anymore and it was mostly just a Day 1 temporary location near the starting point.

    I've been a huge android fan on phones for years, and generally speaking prefer PC over Mac, but I have an iPad and would never even consider an Android tablet. They are just miles ahead of the competition and it isn't even close.

    Otherwise probably a Surface device might be the next best thing if OP is adamant about not iPad.

    To me a big issue is how YouTube has evolved. Back when I first got into YouTube, people were mostly uploading for the passion of sharing, not to try and make money. It was the wild west of funny, random, or interesting content, uploaded by people of the world because they wanted to share with the world. I participated in this myself, uploading videos not because I wanted to get famous or make money, but because I truly had a passion for it and wanted to share. YouTube still has people uploading things like this, but it has completely morphed into an entirely different beast of a platform overall.

    Do the creators deserve to be paid? Maybe? Are we obligated to pay them? I feel like no, because YouTube changed the terms of the contract unilaterally. Ads are an invasive blight on modern society and I feel zero shame in blocking them. Yes Google has hosting costs and I realize that's going to need to be paid back in some form, but so long as the advertising continues to be hostile to consumers, I have zero shame in blocking them.

    I do subscribe to Nebula because there's enough creators there that I feel are worth the subscription fee and it helps them. But going into Nebula I knew it was subscription based from the start. There wasn't a bait and switch.

    I use this Catit jumbo litterbox. I feel it's important to give a cat a lot of space to do their business, smaller boxes are a pain. I've had varied success on getting cats to use it with the hood fully enclosed (one cat would just do business right outside the box if it was closed), but you can open the hood and it's still plenty spacious while somewhat able to contain any tracked litter. Highly recommend a litter mat as well to help trap any further when they eventually launch themselves out of the litterbox at the speed of sound.

    There's always a charm about low effort Photoshop jobs. Don't even know how to completely describe it, but there's always something so funny about how intentionally crappy it is. And maybe that's the point. There's intention behind the image, from a real person.

    I will take low effort photo shop over AI slop any day.

    Upgrading to camphor hull and sails helped me a lot on Jubbly. That said there's still some weirdness going on with hitboxes, it took me a while to finally get in the groove of it. If you're on Runelite there's tile packs now too which help, as well as turning off 117hd and enabling GPU instead. Fixes a lot of the lagginess.

    Overall I think your assessment is fair, but I would like to see more intertwining with the rest of the game moving forward. Right now it seems like you level sailing to... Just level sailing. There's minimal to no benefit outside the skill to the rest of the game. With that said, I get that it's hard to incorporate old content into something new. I'm sure as they release more new content they can likely get things intertwined. Feels like fire making at the moment where there's only very niche benefits to leveling up the skill, to which it can otherwise be mostly ignored.

    So the way mine is set up is I have it running on a dedicated Linux machine 24/7, and all you do is update your router to point to the DNS to the one the Pi-Hole generates, so you don't have to actually install it on the router itself. It will just route all traffic through the ad-blocking DNS on your entire network.

    2nd the Pi-Hole recommendation. Have an old PC I turned into a Linux machine that just constantly runs Pi-Hole on my network. It's fantastic since it uses like no resources and will block a lot of ads on mobile that normally would sneak through due to no ad-blocker (Firefox mobile on Android notwithstanding).

    Incidentally, as an adult, just give me the fun kid animations. There is so much room for artistic leeway in choosing a style and making it your own. The closer we get to "realistic" animation, the more I wonder, to what end? If you want live action, make it live action, make it really feel alive.

    A lot of live action movies can't even do that right anymore unfortunately.
