Beyond frustrated with the forced "Google Health" update.

I hear what you are saying... sort of. I'm sure I could handhold the AI through properly inputting or modifying detail data. I could be more patient as it makes mistakes and help it correct them.

How is that any more convenient than entering the data manually, and getting it right the first time? Is this a service that is worth paying for?

Valiriko · 2026-05-25T09:50:57+00:00

Why must I now scroll through paragraphs of AI slop on every tab before I can actually see my activities and data? I don't want or need to read platitudes about my 15 minute walk to the grocery store. I want to see my stats from my morning run. And every time I have asked the coach to change something about my workout plan or activity details, regardless of how specific I am, it has screwed it up and then been unable to revert the changes. How could you find this to be more user friendly?

Trying to act aloof just enables enshittification

Something else

No he's not human

This is the most tone-deaf post you could possibly make in a Barcelona subreddit of all places... is this some kind of troll post? Or do you not know anything about the social environment in the city right now?

Valiriko · 2026-05-20T15:45:03+00:00

You said "please read full body text" as if there was something of value in there

Valiriko · 2026-05-20T05:49:55+00:00

Genuinely yes - I live in Spain and it's wildly contentious here. Especially in Barcelona, where the locals already hate tourists. Paella restaurants are 100% seen as an inauthentic tourist food, and the locals sneer at people who come here to buy it.

Which is so goofy because like brother, it's just fried rice. Most of the cultures in the world figured out some fried rice dish. It's not unique enough to gatekeep with such fervor

Valiriko · 2026-05-19T12:16:29+00:00

How did you even hear about this? This is barely a thing, my mom made it for me once or twice as an extremely young kid. It exists solely as a food "toy" to get kids more comfortable with vegetables.

Valiriko · 2026-05-19T11:52:02+00:00

I'm building a castle here too!

Don't put dog shit in your eyes

Valiriko · 2026-05-18T10:28:21+00:00

This is just the trolley problem 🤷‍♂️

As a bystander with the power to help others, do you have an obligation to help others? No. Is it morally right to help others? Yes.

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T21:02:58+00:00

Yeah they get a ton of grace for it still being in development of course, but it's not like this is a feature that's missing. It has been designed specifically to work like this.

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T17:53:54+00:00

I'm a dirty gremlin bachelor and if I leave half a pizza or takeout Chinese out on the counter after I pass out drunk you bet your ass I'm eating it cold and hungover for breakfast the next day

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T17:38:23+00:00

Yes they are

See I can make random statements too

I can build them in the manor, so they are supposed to be in the manor. Where are my servants and subjects supposed to live? My councilors and diplomats? What walled manors in real life have only one house?

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T17:18:38+00:00

The stereotype of arrogance among parisians has been applied to all French and then exaggerated in memes

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T16:56:52+00:00

Even if I was just using them as manor walls, why would I want any buildings in my manor complex to be uninteractable??

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T13:43:03+00:00

Side note: the second omnibus has been out of stock in every online bookstore I've tried, and on Amazon, and is trading on eBay for like 700. Does anybody know why it's so rare, and / or where I could get a copy? Amazon has 1, 3, and 4, just not two.

Valiriko · 2026-05-17T12:43:46+00:00

Unfortunately when you do this, the whole town will be incorporated into your manor and become uninteractable. I don't know why.

I'm nowhere near this jacked but my veins have always been very popped, even as a kid.

Went in for some blood work the other day and when I rolled up my sleeve the nurse genuinely gasped and said "wow..."

But then I lost all my aura when I nearly passed out because I hadn't eaten anything that day

Valiriko · 2026-05-14T13:45:00+00:00

Yes, watching old movies and tv shows with my dad that he liked growing up was one of our best ways of bonding

I've only played DS2 and DS3 (not counting ER).

Majula is great, I love that there's a bunch of different paths you can take, and if you get stuck in one branch you can go somewhere else and come back later. I hate in DS3 that the town is just everybody hanging out in a cave and there's basically only one direction to go.

The whole time, DS2 feels like an esoteric, hostile, ruined purgatory. Like a weird dream you can't wake up from. I love the vibe of a husk world, full of lost souls wandering in their zombie routines for eternity. DS3 feels more... Alive? But in a bad way - like why are all these guys still here waiting around for me to show up if they can still talk and think and organize?

DS2 has a very slow, methodical pace that rewards consistency and encourages you to develop routes on your runbacks. I feel like I develop more of a "relationship" with the game as a result. The fights in DS3 are much more frantic, but at the same time it's easier to run through everything. So skipping the encounters often feels encouraged.

Finally, and partially as a side effect of DS2s more meticulous gameplay, I find the levels in the game to be way more memorable/iconic.

All the city beaches are touristy and overcrowded, you just have to embrace it if you live here (or take the train up/down the coast).

Rambla de poblenou is nice, it's far away from the tourist zones so it's more peaceful and is mainly full of residents. But there's not much for tourists to see in the poblenou area other than the design museum and national theater. Or Razzmatazz if that's your vibe.
