A real "we've got a nephew" of graphic design and illustration, mental illness held at bay by a very nice vegetable garden and cats.

Lapsed printmaker, you should ask me about it and I'll be very weird

Why the FUCK does my little sleep app have a battle pass? A pass that locks away core functionality of a sleep app - keeping records over 30 days and the sleep diary. And if the pass wasn't enough, they put a streak counter on your subscription, just to pull out every scummy trick.

The base item bag and ingredient bag hold 100, and your Pokemon box holds 80. They cost 120 diamonds (one of the in game currencies) to bump up only 20 slots. So you're spending at least $10 to hold the original 150 Pokemon. You can get diamonds in game by doing research, but like all microtransaction games, it's going to be at a fraction of the speed as if you had the battle pass.

I honestly think it's more predatory than Pokemon Go.

One of the most hopeless things about the Subscription Era is that everything thinks it should be $10/mo minimum. In what universe does that become even close to affordable? When we're all paying $9.99 a month so we can use gems to turn on our toasters or use cruise control in our cars?
