It may be understandable to view the novel as high art using pedophilic themes to craft an intriguing story, with no intention to titillate.

Then you check out the author's other work...

The exhausting thing is this literally happened. Trump shat his diaper in court and the MAGA crowd started the "Real Men Wear Diapers" bowel movement.

Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.

All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he's just as good an artist and Jezza doesn't have the heart to call him out on it.

I'd say convenience and shareability. I come across far more dead Dropbox links than dead Google Drive links.

And Onedrive is further down in enshittification than Drive. Like windows relentlessly trying to reenable and reinstall without permission.

Overall I like it cause it's just there and works. But I wholeheartedly would not recommend it for business applications (without backups at least). There have been instances of companies data just getting deleted or randomly banned from their google account.

In essence, I would not pay for upgraded storage.

Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother's an actual artist too so it's hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very "anti-woke" and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.

The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he "gave them" a child, while the ones that didn't get pregnant were jealous.

He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn't the protagonist's viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.

Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.

Honestly Google Drive works great as free storage (Though for large storage there's no guarantee they won't accidentally delete it, it's happened before).

And Google Suite is good enough if you can't be bothered to get Microsoft Office. Though they're forcing AI into it and have some weird quirks like being unable to copypaste external text with rightclick.

"But council I was merely casting the humble and fun Balloon Animal spell ~targeting penis~"

There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought "this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?".

That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out "make it bigga!" then pushed to production.

Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.

Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).

I'll be playing work 🥲

Besides that I'm currently playing Paper Mario for the first time (I don't know if remakes count on this sub).

Also Noita, if you like exploration and tinkering, and can find humor in dying a lot to physics or yourself, then I highly recommend. You could sink endless hours into it; beating the main portion of the game is jokingly referred to as the "tutorial".
