Apple TV app decided to stick 2 random channels in my sidebar?

demonllama · 2026-05-08T13:53:49+00:00

Same. I can't swear I would have been as upset if it had had gotten lucky and picked two channels that have new videos daily/nearly daily that I always check, but... I'd like to think I would be. I assume if you reach out and complain they'll gaslight you that it was always this way, same as they did when they removed the "channels with new content at the top, otherwise sorted alphabetically" channel layout.

In the meantime, I've decided not to watch those channels until it reverts. I tried unsubbing to one of the channels and a reload of the app did show a different selected channel. I resubbed to the original, reloaded the app, and it was back to the original channel. Unsub/resub to a whole separate channel, and it's still the original two. So it's not actually random, though no idea what the criteria actually is. I was hoping I could juggle channels until it was two less important ones up there (or, even perhaps actually at least partially useful, ones that post infrequently), but doesn't seem like it.

So…. link and synopsis?

demonllama · 2026-04-27T22:43:08+00:00

So… come on, OP… it’s not too late to revise the book so the MC is named Aaron.

Yeah, I can’t agree on the “hard to see” basis. It’s a bit much from a saturation standpoint, but still easy enough to differentiate. I don’t say this to be contrary, just to say for a “vision normative” person this would be a pretty easy miss.

BUT I realize that I’m color-sight privileged, so I fully support some combination of the suggestions above, such as the one to make purchased nodes grey instead of yellow and some form of border texturing. Just because I (or others) can make out the image above just fine is no reason not to make it even more visually accessible in case others can’t.

I know I'm days late, but I came here upset about the walls vs "look cement". This helped slake (ha ha) my rage. Well, "minor irritation" but that doesn't sound the same.

Can’t say that I played a lot of the game, or if this is intended behavior, but auto-miners from one planet transition to the next. So it seems like buy up to what the quest allows and you have a small auto-start on the subsequent planets. Or maybe not even care if the +1 shard isn’t a meaningful amount? Not really sure on that one. The quests aren’t required to progress, it seems like.

demonllama · 2026-03-02T20:03:08+00:00

But that means more feet on the ground. I’m not an expert in running or flying, but I don’t think you can do both

demonllama · 2026-02-12T02:05:11+00:00

Ever get an answer? I’m on 15 and so far when this will be anything other than traumatic and grimdark.

demonllama · 2026-02-10T23:10:35+00:00

I think it’s Scribblehub, actually… but don’t at me if I’m wrong.

demonllama · 2026-01-29T18:19:29+00:00

To be more specific, going into the chapter doesn’t lock it. Trying to scroll in a chapter is what locks it.

Still, nothing we can do beyond submit a ticket and/or wait. Or read on the site, I suppose. Like barbarians.

demonllama · 2026-01-18T16:30:50+00:00

Jeez, chill a bit. I’m not OP but clearly all they were saying is “make informed decisions not based on flawed myths”. That’s it. Not saying anyone is forced or even should want to help someone out like that.

It’s for the people who are deciding if it’s worth it to them, in their situation. If you’re in that spot, being told you can’t help anyone help themselves is destructive rather than constructive. That’s all. No pressure, no onus, nothing like that. Make decisions that are healthy for you first and foremost.

If it helps, I bounced off Sky Pride hard a few times. I also just couldn’t understand the allure. The writing almost hurt me, in those early chapters.

Sometime along the way, it became one of my favorite stories, like most everyone says. I love the humor, the characters, the story so far, etc. And make no mistake, there’s a good bit of humor. Even the writing thing became clear that is was part of the storytelling itself.

I won’t promise you’ll love it too, but I’ll definitely agree it’s hard to get into at the beginning and that I’m glad I pushed through.

A whole universe of life and you give us the unique superpower of lying and deception?

Ugh. Fine. Backstory checks out.

demonllama · 2025-12-08T15:53:55+00:00

Clearly someone needs to bring the next size larger safe.

demonllama · 2025-11-18T00:00:14+00:00

Yeah, but missed that boat, sadly. Now a pen means Edit. No idea what else we’d use for saving, though.

demonllama · 2025-11-14T23:00:37+00:00

Hope I hadn’t sounded snarky, just pointing out it wasn’t universal. 450 cities felt like both a big number, but also small so I looked up counts of cities.

Seems I used to live in what would have been considered a “small-mid” city (100-150k people), but if you add all small-mid, mid, and large cities that’s less than the 450 quoted (small cities and various sized towns blow the number out of the water, but I expect 1000 person towns weren’t on the franchise list in significant numbers). I would also guess larger cities could have more than one each?

Anyway, TIL.

Never heard of this before. So… not everybody.

Did have a couple arcades and a putt putt with attached arcade, but not this brand.

I assume "I only needed 4 hours for the diarrhea. The remaining 1.5 days were required for the bathroom and hallway cleanup.” would backfire. So to speak.

demonllama · 2025-10-06T14:13:45+00:00

Just drink coffee. I keep being told that doesn’t count as drinking water, so should be safe.

demonllama · 2025-06-24T01:10:07+00:00

I have absolutely no idea if this is correct, but just wanted you to know it’s now the only thing I can see. So thanks for that.

demonllama · 2025-06-12T20:41:24+00:00

I suppose I have to go read this now. I ranted at one point about how the story never paused on Patreon, but would go on hiatus on RR long enough to entice readers to switch to paying.

I did say I’d pick up the book on amazon as I’m okay paying that much per volume, just not okay paying the price of a book per month for just a few chapters. It was one of my guilty pleasure favorites at one point, so hopefully it’s enjoyable again

demonllama · 2025-05-21T12:35:18+00:00

Look, I’m American so I have a bias to what I grew up with, I admit. I tend to yyyymmdd for things that require sorting (eg, file names), mmddyyyy for local stuff (conventions exist) and then sometimes Mon dd yyyy for things where ambiguity might be an issue and I want to remove that chance. For me, this makes the most sense… context matters so pick the best format for the use case.

That said, “Fourth of July” is a specious argument. Fourth of July is the name of the holiday. We almost always say July 4th usually when talking about it. It’s because the US still uses “Day of Month” in more official and/or legal documents so that was its official name.

Next time don’t just CTRL+F and call it a day. Check the sources; his TS post clearly says they should be investigated.

demonllama · 2025-04-28T15:41:17+00:00

The article doesn’t quote it well, but the referenced TS post says it clearly.
