It works like a streaming service (remembers where you are in an episode, which youve watched, a library and recently viewed + browsing by categories) but it has 99% of the content youll ever look for.
its a testament to the state of paid for streaming that i actually do have access to hbo, disney, netflix and prime and still opt for stremio out of simplicity and a good user experience.

It came out during the end of the pandemic I think, and it’s a classic Spanish sobremesa of friends eating, drinking and making music, at a time we couldn’t do that for like a year. Has a special spot in my heart for that.

Can normal1 period cramps really be that strong and debilitating?
personally the least relatable part is for how long theyll have it at an 8. If its terrible cramps, it can get to a 10 really quickly and without warning, for like a second or two (enough to maybe make me have to crouch or hold on to something) and then it lessens, but the worse the period (usually during day 1-3 for me) the longer it will stay feeling like someone is squishing your guts from the inside. but its not 24/7 pain for me thankfully. Imagine the worst gases youve ever had and how acute but sharp the pain can be and how randomly it comes.

On what you asked, I could never get into huge open world rpgs like the Witcher 3. I really liked Skyrim but mainly because of how free I felt to do whatever I wanted, while with the Witcher and some of the latter assassins creed I just felt like I was forced to watch mini movies all the time. Talked to this random npc? You fool! Here’s a half an hour cutscene conversation to interrupt your flow.
Personally I don’t see how reddit can improve. They’ve never been profitable. Their most exciting lately is they have a deal with openai. They’re actively selling data to fund a product that will actively make their own less attractive to their own clients. Users get a less enjoyable experience and use the app less. Advertisers don’t want to pay for their stuff to be shown to a bot eco chamber. Pivoting to video content is probably helping with that, but I don’t see it catching up to tiktoks numbers soon.
