Yeah this has been greatly annoying me as well. It’s not a problem on Jerboa though and I find myself just using that more often now.

Hopefully it’ll be fixed with the next update!

I noticed this as well, but it also made me reflect on why I even started adding “reddit” to my searches.

It’s kind of crazy how bad most other results are. They are almost universally some kind of sponsored ad or blog content written by the marketing department of some brand. It’s strangely difficult to find the information you are looking for on google these days.

Reddit was a band-aid but the larger issue is more in how search became an outlet for ads. Modern billboards on the information superhighway.

I’m not sure if there’s a proper solution anymore.

I’ve been meaning to check this out! It sounds so cool and possibly interacts with other fediverse things?

I recently released a book using Kindle Unlimited Publishing and was surprised at how easy and simple the whole process was. Especially the Kindle only bits since the formatting and dimensions of the cover don’t really matter for digital versions.

It was quite the learning process to get the physical books right but that’s a different story and one that bots would probably care much less about since the margins are so low.

However, even outside of nonsense written by AI, there were already a ton of questionably written titles that were trying to take advantage of SEO and keywords. This feels like an easy next step for the people who never cared about writing interesting stories and just saw a system they could exploit.

In theory I don’t care which strat is used, but on pf I’m starting to understand why jp is taking over - at least on EU servers.

The biggest problem with oppo on pf is how people get disoriented, I think. Not only are there more moving parts, but at the end of the mechanic and for the rest of the fight, it feels like your average pf is much less confident in their positions.

I was looking forward to the conclusion of the story and felt a little let down as well. I understand the idea though, they wanted to tie up some of the dangling leftover loose ends.

So there were answers, but it lacked a certain satisfying catharsis. At least for me.

I feel like this impacted the theming of Anabaseios the most where it all seemed very sudden. Like a TLDR with a lot of hand waving.

It wasn’t bad mind you and I probably simply set my expectations too high!

It is pretty wild to think about how many people only know the internet as about 5 websites or apps…

I’ve heard that meme over on EU as well!

I’m more in favor for jp these days though. I find the running around with oppo leaves people disoriented even if no one dies.

That confusion then bleeds into the next mechanics.
