I haven't played in the last couple months, but my last stardew bender was on mobile for the first time, and a beach farm! I was dedicating more space to trees for sap than normal.

I also discovered decorating the house after like 900 hours lol!

I don't have a good source of the top of my head, but in general you could probably search terms like RSS Infomat or see if publications like The Canary and 404 media have RSS feeds.

Yes

I get that! That's a pretty good point I hadn't considered either [on archiving].

I just looked at your name too lol. That's totally fair xD. No need to manage a password vault if you're able to get by with standard telephone/sms

I think what you're saying has a lot of merit in a lot of ways. But being one of those people who sits behind a computer a lot and 'talks' electronically I can tell you first hand I am really am talking a lot of the time - I just hop in group calls in discord. It's a lot like walking in to the social door room back in college. When people are around and I wanna chat I just go in and chat. If no one's around and I wanna chat I'll still hop in the voice channel and people will join if they want to chat too.

That's where the nerve is a bit struck with me regarding your comment on sitting behind the computer. To what extent are people actually not using voice coms - as in how many people who spend lots of time on a dedicated computer are also just doing chat through discord instead of old school 1:1 calls?

Maybe I'm also just one of those pussies who hates answering the phone, but like hit me up, we'll get together and go grab some boba if you want that one on one communication but otherwise just hop in the group chat. It's a bit entitled to expect friends be most comfortable communicating the way that works best for you no? Round hole square peg and all. I happen to think phone calls are more tedious then back and forth texting, but the different modes certainly have different uses.

The younger generation still is generally cooked and that worries me quite a bit. The attention span is a big one. A 4 paragraph email isn't even really that long. Heck, this reply is somewhere at that length. If you and I were talking on the phone this specific exchange would be like 5 minutes or something!
