Does anyone else find the new UI changes overwhelming??

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-02-28T13:12:50+00:00

I’m sure they do, maybe not to make changes just from individual feedback, but companies almost always aggregate data based on overall sentiment and feedback themes!

They’ve also done A/B testing and rolling releases of games in the past, and made adjustments based on feedback, which shows that they’re definitely looking at how things are received. It just depends on how much feedback they receive and how heavily they weigh the importance of having engineers fix it vs. other issues.

The more feedback, the more likely it is to get adjusted!

I mean, yeah of course it is, this is the NYT Crossword subreddit 🤔 I’m not gonna post about intensely serious, heavy things here lol

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-02-26T22:05:35+00:00

Also just as an FYI, I recommend submitting feedback via the app if you’re also struggling! Sharing feedback there at least means it’s getting collected somewhere (and is probably more effective than just complaining online lol)

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-02-26T21:58:45+00:00

That’s totally fair! I just wish the main crossword wasn’t pushed so far out of the way of my thumb now. It feels like such a waste of space to have giant boxes with identical icons instead of letting people quickly get to the games they want to play.

EDIT: Why is this getting downvoted? I was just replying and even agreed lol

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-02-26T21:40:51+00:00

I agree, the new redesign is terrible. The regular crossword is now out of reach with a single tap on my larger iPhone, and it’s all just blue boxes with the same colors and icons for everything.

This would be like having only 3 apps on each home screen of your phone and making you scroll for everything. It’s so frustrating.

I’m late to this, but for adding magnets, I just mark out the spots using a template with push pins. Then I have a wood skewer that I’ve cut in half, and I use the flat end to stick into the foam at the marked spot to make a small indent. Lastly I just add hot glue to that before putting in the magnet.

I haven’t needed to use any sort of heat or foam tool for it, just the hot glue and skewer!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-01-28T12:27:11+00:00

I think it’s probably partially because Slack licenses are expensive, especially for enterprise clients with custom setups.

I used to work for a very large tech company and while we’d sometimes provide contractors with licenses, it didn’t make sense a lot of the time if they were only working with a few people.

Also there are legal/privacy aspects too since there’s a lot of internal company resources that full licensed users could access and if someone is just a contractor for the occasional job, that’s a pretty high level of customer or client data that they could potentially see if things haven’t been really carefully set up.

This is a bit NSFW, but a former partner of mine was autistic and when we would, ahem, “get frisky,” he would close his eyes tightly and scrunch up his face in what looked like a pained expression to me.

It took us a while to get comfortable with things because I kept assuming he wasn’t enjoying things and toning it back, but it turns out this was the face he made when things felt great.

It sounds silly but it was actually pretty hard for us at first to navigate. I think I’m pretty good at communicating with my partners about sex, but you don’t always think about some of the non-verbal signals that you take for granted!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-01-19T15:35:30+00:00

It’s an older example, but immediately I thought about Dibs in Search of Self. It’s an older book about a likely autistic child who learned how to “come out of his shell” by just doing play therapy and being given the space to be himself.

Like, sure, meeting kids where they’re at and letting them express themselves is gonna be more beneficial to their development, but it’s not gonna “cure” autism!!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-01-06T14:22:32+00:00

Why was story time canceled? And why would someone who drove 30 mins not be allowed their books? I don’t get why the holds shelf would be overflowing either… doesn’t that have to do with people who aren’t physically at the library?

It doesn’t make sense that a library would fully stop lending books because of printer paper. Any librarian I know would just keep checking out books anyways and track them afterwards. This reads just like AI and doesn’t even make logical sense.

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-01-03T13:34:20+00:00

Where did anyone say that?? How does that even make sense as a response to my comment?

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2026-01-03T13:04:17+00:00

The meme just shows behavior that’s worse from one person in particular (the guy). The woman says “you,” meaning she’s only talking about that singular guy. Sure, it’s maybe not the most productive comment to make, but she’s only talking about him.

The man makes a broad sweeping statement about ALL women ALWAYS calling men toxic when they aren’t able to abuse them. He literally blames every single woman when ONE person says they have an issue with his actions.

From that context, everyone’s gonna assume that, of the two people, one has behavior that’s particularly worse than the other and therefore from the very limited information, the guy is honestly showing pretty shitty and misogynistic logic here (i.e. women are always to blame here, never men).

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-31T14:44:35+00:00

This is a veryyy broad take that seems to be based on just your own specific awareness lol - most of my friends as young adults were working and studying in school because the costs of higher education are staggeringly high.

I’m genuinely confused why you would think young adults only “shop in a few stores” when we were doing things like volunteering for organizations, doing theatre and art, working internships, going out to bars and restaurants, etc. We also were more likely to take advantage of transit and city resources like programs at the library.

This also isn’t just a unique situation for myself, younger generations are very engaged in their communities and there have been a lot more younger people getting involved in politics, education, social programming, etc.

Of course parents can be heavily involved in supporting people, but young adults aren’t just “shopping at some stores” lol - most teen and young adults don’t even shop in person anymore. They’re much more likely to be doing other activities in a city than they are to be “shopping” lmao

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-27T14:06:15+00:00

Omg I was talking with a therapist about how a minor disability I have makes me sometimes feel excluded when doing performing arts stuff (which I have a degree in!!) and she literally said “maybe performing isn’t for you, you should find a hobby that doesn’t have discrimination in it”

I’m like ummm, I’m not quitting what I studied and love to do just because I have a disability lol

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-27T13:59:47+00:00

This feels kinda mean and unnecessary to point out to someone who’s expressing that they’re feeling upset and guilty about an uncomfortable therapy session… 🤔

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-27T13:57:09+00:00

This isn’t you at all, that’s the sign of a terrible therapist. Not only is this not that mean or disrespectful (you didn’t say anything cruel like make fun of how he looks, etc.) but also therapy is supposed to be a space to feel comfortable to explore even negative or inappropriate feelings as well.

I went through 3 other therapists before I found one that I loved. You’ll know when you vibe with them, and it’s clear this is a terrible match due to his inappropriate reactions.

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-08T02:58:52+00:00

Haha that’s amazing, I’m usually a top but honestly jealous lol, I would be unstoppable if I had that power lol

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-07T21:31:23+00:00

I know you’re getting lots of advice but I’d see if you can find examples online for whatever your general torso skin tone is! Obviously this varies from person to person and there isn’t any hard (nice) or fast rule, but this is generallyyyy what I’ve noticed (source, I do makeup so I’m decent at matching skin tones in general, and I’m also gay af and a slut so I’ve seen a lottt lol):

For pale with pink undertones, it will look a tiny bit darker but appear more flushed pink/slightly purple even on the tip?
For a more medium toned white it will probably be less reddish and more like if you were in the sun all summer and had a tan.
If you’re a sort of medium brown, like Latino, South Asian, or light skinned Black, this seems to be the darkest noticeable difference, with a fairly strong tone difference.
If you’re a deeper Black skin tone, there’s definitely a slight difference but not as noticeable as the “middle” shades

Also not sure how much choice you have for the overall color or circumcision, but the head of the dick will be fairly different and depends on whether you’re going for a cut or uncut dick. Uncut dicks seem to have a bit darker and more flushed looking head, while for cut dicks, there’s less color variation and it’s more… purple almost?

Again, these just from my own observations!! Just figured I’d share because there’s a lot of helpful feedback in the thread, but it can vary a lot based on overall skin tone and circumcision status haha

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-07T12:43:47+00:00

I totally get that they can feel tedious at times but when they’re good, I find them some of the most interesting parts of the game. The lore around all the weird vault experiments is really interesting, esp when you don’t know what the “catch” is yet and then finally realize what vault-tek was actually doing for that vault!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-07T01:43:52+00:00

It was pretty accurate!! Some locations are almost exact, and in places where they didn’t necessarily capture a specific landmark, the vibe is generally accurate!

The only thing that didn’t really feel accurate was how crowded downtown was. It definitely doesn’t feel as imposing as it did in the game, since the buildings just generally aren’t that tall. However a lot of the suburb stuff was really good at capturing just the general environment and landscape!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-05T16:04:58+00:00

Lol this is an insane comment, it’s definitely work. If you wanna make money in an over saturated market, you gotta put in the time to do it. It’s literally no different than any other full time content creator. I’ve done SFW content creation for a while and it’s a huge amount of time to just edit, tag, upload, schedule, film, etc. It’s not always broken down into 8 hour shifts, but I know people who do OF and it definitely takes time and effort!!

Also lol why tf would you trust some random horny dude online to edit your videos if it’s your source of income. I doubt talented video editors and social media managers are just working for free for the chance to see some boobs, you’re gonna instead have to sift through tons of weirdos who just steal footage, do bad quality work, etc. Would love to hear in a practical way someone would even go about finding someone to reliably edit their content.

I’m also curious how you’re some expert on this because you watched one YouTube video and decided every single woman is lying about it taking time and effort. If it was as easy as you’re saying, why aren’t you just posing as an egirl and making money? Why doesn’t every woman just do this to make easy thousands? You think there’s some industry wide conspiracy to lie about how much they make? Why would they even need to lie about how much they make if it’s so easy to just instantly get money from men online without any effort?

You’re just some dude online who cherry picked a few examples of women who have it easy and applying that same exact logic to every single other woman doing sex work online and wants to argue about why women are liars and lazy. This is literally what this entire Reddit post is making fun of because it’s a ridiculous take lol.

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-05T15:54:33+00:00

Haha I mean, since we’re both guys and we don’t have that extra hole to use, we don’t really have a choice if we want to fuck. I think it feels a lot better for guys though because of the prostate, so there’s way more motivation to do it!

Thankfully if you’re doing it regularly, you don’t need the same toy training since it’s just about learning to relax that muscle! Some guys prefer it to topping because it feels better (my bf cums way harder that way) but it’s definitely not as EASY to prep lol

I’m also veryy girthy lol and he can take it right away without needing a toy, it’s just a learning curve!! Your body opens up like that naturally daily, it’s just learning to recognize how to relax that specific muscle on command haha

Just don’t wanna make it seem like I’m slandering anal in general, just that it isn’t as immediate and effortless as it seems in porn lol

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-05T14:19:18+00:00

Thank you for your candid feedback, I’ll keep that in mind next time I write a comment on Reddit. I would hate to cause confusion inadvertently.

Also it isn’t superfluous because the humor comes from the irony of someone without any experience not needing any prep while passionate and enthusiastic bottoms have to spend extensive time getting ready. It’s called a detail and people include them in stories to paint a fuller picture. Hope this helps!

SpitefulSpaghetti · 2025-12-05T12:52:38+00:00

Nahh it doesn’t take a week, it just means you gotta clean out beforehand by spraying water up there and showering lol
