I’m in Austria where the usability of self-checkout counters is often terrible, sometimes to the point where there are employees nearby for troubleshooting. I try it sometimes in stores where it’s available, but only if I’m not in a hurry.

I discussed this recently with a friend. Commercial gambling, e.g. slot machines, online poker, F2P mobile games, sports betting, etc. seems like exploitation of weak people. These products are carefully optimized for return of investment, which always means nudging people to play more, even if it’s bad for them. This book is pretty good: Addiction by Design - Machine Gambling in Las Vegas

I use all of them, as long as people I know or care about use them.

X-Duckx, it’s a French cartoon about two ducks doing extreme sports, there is a German dubbed version that’s pretty legendary even though it only ran for a couple years on German TV

more like a revival of early internet aesthetics, i.e. shitty 3D graphics, low quality digital images, and WordArt from the late 1990s

I had a similar experience with OOT, never owned an N64 but finally played it 2 years ago on PC. IMO the gameplay just isn’t very good by today’s standards, yet it was very innovative for its time. Some of my friends who played it in the 90s when they were young still love that game.
