I ended up doing duolingo for an hour tonight because it kept giving me exp boosts and I had to keep it going Dx I got almost half of my total exp just now lol. I still have 35 minutes of double exp but nahhh I gotta sleep.

@beardalaxy I restarted Duolingo yesterday, it has improved SO much from its humble beginnings
Actually, unironically, considering getting plus

@Kagekokoro@varishangout.net @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club if you get a vpn, buy a family plan in turkey and split the cost with a few friends it's like $5 for a year
worth it just to remove the ads imo

@rosey @Kagekokoro I just used revanced to get rid of the ads. It doesn't give me voice tests anymore but that's a small price to pay to not get pestered after every single course.

@beardalaxy
This is why gamification of anything is a horrible idea.

You get 1-2 days, where the assigned dopamine goal is mis-aligned, and tada... you have a complete burnout.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I don't mind gamification, but games should respect your time.

@WhitestTemplar @beardalaxy
There is a problem with terms. Gamification is a managerial term, where the game mechanics are used to push you further and "motivate" your behavior. Therefore, a pressure is inherit in it.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Well then you must forgo capitalism because the mechanics of a raise are motivation for many people and have been since the inception of such things.

@LukeAlmighty I still had a good time and I'll keep going back of course, it gives you double xp a lot so it's fine. Just thought it was kind of funny lol.
