Literal showerthought while ruminating on this idea: are you aware of any multiplayer systems where individual characters have intentional Wi flags (good and bad) at a very granular level? for example, every spell or skill includes a fixed modifier generated for the player so that two identically built characters have different capabilities. Every aspect determining success or power has one. You are just slightly slower at lockpicking in the rain and your fireball casts a little faster than average, and the decrease in damage for casting while moving is a bit more significant.

You remove the “meta” from the game because every character has a different meta that is just a little too cumbersome to figure out in any way other than “feel” it.

I held it up in front of my daughter without telling her what it was, and when i tapped the screen she fell over backwards in shock. Perfectly executed.

I went through this last year. It was relatively smooth, but I did do a factory reset and spent a couple hours on the project just to be sure.

I have been plagued by account problems for years, though, having signed up for services like YouTube with a personal email prior to creating the same email address in Google Workspace. I recommend avoiding it, and just using a free Gmail account for basic usage of Google docs and YouTube and your phone.

Just to echo, I experienced the same symptoms and it was largely relieved by getting mild prescription "computer glasses".

Over the next two years, I was able to better correlate these symptoms with sleep deprivation, as well. Lack of glasses exaggerates fatigue, but fatigue onset is much more aggressive when I don't sleep enough.

there is an unacknowledged but reported issue in macos related to the "new meeting" experience, which in most versions is disablable. there are also some common issues with specific gpus, but again no acknowledgement beyond a common help suggestion to disable "gpu acceleration". if you're stuck using it and struggling, see if you can find a setting to disable the new popout conversation/meeting experience.

I had the exact same response. FINALLY!

One if those things where I always knew eventually someone would make it, and I'm grateful.
