YES! But only if they gimme back the songs and albums I’ve purchased for 0 monies back in the day. Had them as files on my pc, but lost them in poor last minute backups prior to reinstall. Had some big names, full albums, for free, in my collection

Well, I’ve studied human-machine interaction and indeed too many options can affect a user’s interaction with the program. Don’t seem to recall the exact numbers, but there is a range to the optimal number of options in a menu. 5 to 7 options, maybe? Too many options, iirc, increase the time they take to process the options, even in menus they might be familiar with.
Not ideal: one huge menu with all options inside.
Also not ideal: too many small submenus.
Find a balance. Not all vertical, but also not all horizontal, nested menus
If I find the material, I’ll update the comment.

- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 1 week ago:
I was actually just kidding. I don’t do much gaming myself, but I don’t actually believe games to be brainrot. As for games that should be forever remembered, Club Penguin gets my vote. Minecraft was kinda fun, until I suddenly started getting headaches from field of view or whatever it is (screen speen, no good for head).

- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 1 week ago:
My news comes mainly from Lemmy, Wikipedia, sometimes Wikinews, maybe other people, and short daily podcasts. The fun radio podcasts are currently on break (though they’re less ‘news’, more current topics made funny), but I sometimes also listen to a short daily news podcast.
Lemmy is by far the worst source, because 'Murican-centrism. So much US spam. If I could easily filter out the US off Lemmy, I’d do it in a jiffy. I’d even be willing to cut off English entirely. Or leave Lemmy, touch grass. The latter seems to be the most likely option, from what I know of Lemmy.
With Wikipedia, and Wikinews, I append a relevant language code to the url, like xx.wikipedia.org, and get stuff in my language, less 'Murican. I sometimes do that in other languages I know (including English).
Podcasts are relevant by location and/or language, depending on the podcast (they sometimes bring up US stuff, but that’s far less annoying than Lemmy’s spam, and sometimes actually relevant (for the news one, at least))

Thing I find funny is when the url seems to indicate you came from an email or something. Now if I share it, anyone who clicks will also count as coming from an email. Dumass ruining your own statistics

Well, a guaranteed great time sounds fun. Assuming a great time is just a wholesome, friendly thing. Not in, like, a sexual manner. But, like, hanging out, having fun. Friendly thing. I’m almost getting interested…
Thanks for your time in answering my questions!

What if you only feel that way because you’re experiencing it? Like, maybe you’ll wake up at some point, and just be like “wtf. You walk into a tiny room. The door closes by itself, sideways, sci-fi style. When it opens again, the exterior, the room you just came from, just… changed. Completely different”

Congrats on your career achievements!
What exactly is the line, if you don’t mind me asking? Like, what is the difference between a girlfriend and someone who plays the role of a girlfriend?
Could you end up friends with someone? Like, not in a romantic relationship, but actual friends? I mean, I guess it’d hurt business if you befriend and start hanging out with clients, like, outside the job. I mean, I wouldn’t charge friends, but professionally, being your profession, it makes sense. But if it were to develop into a friendship, independent of business…
Also, what exactly is it they value, here? That they can… experience a relationship knowing it’s never gonna go past a line? Like, a relationship, but… not really? Not trying to diminish or lessen the relationships you have, of course. Or your line of business
Also, is it common for women to seek such experiences? Or is it mainly men who seek the girlfriend experience? I mean, thinking of the girlfriend experience, specifically. If it is a common thing with women.

Hmmm… interesting. Do you ever end up actually becoming close to someone? Does it ever become something natural, like, outside of business, or is it always just a “job”, so to speak? Like, do you ever become friends with someone, hang out? Not sure my question makes sense
Also, how much is one willing to go? Like, what’s the limit, here, in terms of closeness? You mention travelling, going on dates. Is there a point where you’re like, “ok, this is enough closeness” or something? Cause I assume this isn’t, like, a relationship per se. Like, a romantic one. So something like spending life together is probably out the table, I imagine. Gotta imagine at some point you have to draw a line and remind them, if needed, that you’re not in a relationship together.
Honestly, this sounds quite interesting. Minus the sex. Guess I need to find myself a friend. Or a girlfriend. Idk, never quite figured out the difference between those.
Apologies if I say something wrong. I mean no harm. Just curious. You, of course, need not answer anything you don’t want to. Be comfortable above all

Oh, what is the girlfriend experience, exactly? Just… act the part? As a girlfriend? Honestly, as someone who’s never been in a relationship, not sure what that would entail. Hanging out? Going to movie theaters? What exactly makes someone a girlfriend vs. a girl friend, a gal pal, a woman friend?

How about trauma-dumping-less chatter? Just some friendly chatter. Good ol’ wholesome interaction. Just chillin together. No trauma, just hanging out. Just a… friendly thing. Wonder if that’s common, and how one feels about it
