a few days ago I did blood work, and had a mild headache the rest of the day; "that's a new side effect" I thought.
it took a few more days to draw the connection that actually the headache was from starting playing Marathon Classic with its old-fashioned ultra narrow FOV
cranked it up from 80 to 95 and i seem to be fine now
being human is so bewildering

like! the idea of an app reminding you of your "streak" is like, barely socially permissible when it's in service of something *objectively good*, like exercise, or practising/learning something; a habit that you *want* to form despite how difficult it is to do so.
encouraging people to stop what they're doing and just Play A Mobile Game, Any Mobile Game? just feels like something out of a cynical "idiocracy"-style satire, that I'd describe as too beyond-the-pale to actually believe???
Holy fuck -- Google (as in The Google Play Store, the built-in app store on all Android devices) just sent me a notification, WITH SOUND, telling me not to lose my "GAMING STREAK"?? As in, that I should stop what I'm doing and play a video game, in order to not risk "my streak"???
This is, like.... just capital-e Evil???
