So Google Play has disabled itself on my Android phone. Someone recommend me a free music app I can download off the Play store that isn't going to just suck up all my personal data because it's fucking bullshit that Google can decide I can't listen to any of the music I put on my phone any more, and double-bullshit that if I do try to upgrade to YouTube Music it tells me my YouTube account can't be used.
Blackplayer?
That's what I use
The free version has ads but I doubt it's personal info harvesting is any more invasive than google's
There’s a collection with the first three Creeper World games on Steam. I finished the main campaign in the first one just today.

Hey, I have a question for the gourmets among us.
I typically season or spice my cuts of meat immediately before cooking. I've noticed that since getting an enameled cast iron skillet, it's the spices/seasoning (Or marinade, if I use that) that makes it hard to clean. If I cook unseasoned/unspiced meat, the pan is incredibly easy to clean.
Have I been doing this wrong? Should I be spicing after cooking? Or is that dumb?
the only consistent thing with Google is Hangouts will always be "deprecated" while still outliving replacement after replacement
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Say what you will about iMessage but apple has stood beside that tech from day one, extended it, and built on it in intelligent ways.
Biggest issue is the lack of portability / openness, and lack of android/windows apps. But, their support of it is night and day compared to the absolute shitshow that has been google's chat protocols/apps.

i think if companies are gonna force players into a bot game for their first few games they should be transparent about it for BR games like Fortnight or Spellbreak or w/e
it's a battle royale game, by sheer statistics unless you are from a relative standpoint far better than everyone else you are only going to win a small portion of your game because a lot of things are out of your control and you have a lot of competition!
like in apex you're usually 3 people out of 60, if you super reduce everything down to pure chance that's a 1 in 20 or 5% chance to win!

In Skyrim a bear murdered a rabbit, then turned to attack me because ?? I guess it decided it was worth just leaving the rabbit instead of eating it to fight a giant cat person? So I shot it several times with fireballs then ran away because it was going to be too trivial.
Eventually I found the shrine I was looking for, with a dragon flying around in the distance that eventually came close enough to fight. Almost immediately, another dragon flew up, so I had to fight two dragons at once. In the middle of that, I heard growling and got hit by something, turned around, and saw the half-health bear from multiple minutes ago. Wtf. Who is in charge of the Skyrim AI, and why did they think bears would be psychotic enough to limp up a mountain to bite someone fighting multiple dragons simultaneously.
Bear is likely stronger than the dragons
I will not stand idly by and allow this anti-dragon propaganda to spread unopposed
The best part of Skyrim is that they never considered that a properly equipped sneaky archer can one shot dragons because they're so bad at being dragons.
So if I one shot a dragon one of two things would happen:
1. It breaks the game and the dead dragon goes total ragdoll and often just slips through the ground never to be seen again.
2. The dragon has to wake up, go through it's entire take off animation, circle once and then face plant at my feet.
I'm firmly convinced the only reason Bethesda gets away with the janky ass shit they put out is because it's more often than not the janky ass shit is hilarious.

It feels like there somehow isn't any management at google. Just an empty tiller and sails.
I still just use Google Messages as a texting app.
I think they abandoned development on this some time between when I downloaded it and now. But it still mostly works at least.
Every possible upgrade I've seen for it seems like it's abandoned or gone in some weird direction before I even realise it exists.

In Breath of the Wild, Nintendo was sufficiently confident in their physics system that heavy objects rolling, falling, hurled, or launched by explosions deal damage to Link and have semi-realistic knockback. It's not perfect, and there's a fair number of glitches that involve faking this system out and killing yourself with something innocuous or using a speeding physics object to knock Link across the whole map without killing him.
But overall their confidence was well-placed and the average non-glitch-hunting player will make it through the whole game and only ever have this system behave correctly. It's immersive and fun.
Now, imagine if skyrim had mechanics like this, that worked well, and when you shot a dragon out of the sky, this colossal airplane-sized animal falling a hundred meters on top of you acted like the nightmare hazard it truly is.

Google has some legit problems with how it can expand and develop things given how Android works. And yet they keep inventing all sorts of fascinating new ways to shoot themselves in the dick that seem to have little to do with those problems.
Does anyone know how to hide online status in WhatsApp? I set Last Seen in privacy to “nobody” but I think that hides when I was last online. If I’m online, it still shows me being on.

We always get a turkey for our Christmas bonus, which is real great, considering my wife is basically vegetarian, but we're pretty sure ~20 years ago someone took the cash/check bonus, and spent it all drinking, so the CEO decided it would be better to give something people couldn't misuse...

the creeper world series is a CLASSIC of the browser flash game era and I am surprised at how many of y'all haven't heard of it
they're quite neat games. Kind of like... fluid-based tower defense game
creeper world 4 is a 3d graphics full game they're making now, years later, which is neat
