Samsung Messages supports RCS, for instance

Low/no patent issues, much simpler complexity

Other Android apps do support RCS. Google doesn't allow other apps to implement the end to end encryption, however.

It used to be a separate company. They're the ones who did AlphaZero and AlphaFold too, kind of a big deal at the time.

My tastes are too niche and my hobbies are too diverse. I don't expect anyone to get me anything at this point because I'm "so hard to shop for", so cash is way better than nothing, and frankly often better than the useless garbage people get me when they're trying to guess.

Heroic is a FOSS launcher that's straight up better. They use a sponsored link to get some kickbacks when you buy GoG games thru their launcher. Seems worth doing every once in a while in order to donate to the actual best launcher for non-Steam games

For real. Digital Choose Your Own Adventure type books are fun if that's what you're trying to buy, but Doom is about gameplay

Regression towards the mean is inevitable. The best we can do is hope to model a good culture for future fediverse denizen (fedizens?)

There are certain stories where a good amount of the first-time enjoyment is trying to guess the outcome/twist, like murder mysteries. IMO it really depends on the story structure.

I mean, maybe. Doom 3 was pretty plot-driven too, but yeah. I guess my point is that the series is really all about fun gameplay.
