    I love my Kobo ... for all of the reasons that you've given as features that you don't care about. For me, those features are defining qualities on which it is better than Kindle. It sounds like you don't need the things that make Kobo great. I would suggest sticking with your Kindle.

It's not ideal but it works ... of course Discord then applies things like noise cancellation to your mic audio which also needs to be turned off ... as I said, not ideal

    I have not played Sanctum or Dungeon defenders, but from your description I immediately thought of Mindustry. It bills itself as "a sandbox tower defense game". While there are enemies during the waves very little else changes: you can still build, collect resources, and attack the enemies.

    The username I've used everywhere for half my life is "Minion3665".

    I don't know where the 3665 came from, probably it was randomly added after "Minion" was taken, but for years I've noticed and used the number 3665 everywhere.

    Whenever I see it I have this immediate thought of "oh, that's me!" before I see what it's actually about.

    Nowadays I tend to use only "minion" if it's available, but I still always notice the number 3665.
