Hahaha, the founders of Calmara are now insisting it's a "lifestyle product, not a medical app" and are "updating the communications to better reflect our intentions right now." Thank you @amanda.omg.lol for reporting on this for TechCrunch.

I wrote this like a year ago and our audience team updates it with new info and re-time stamps it for SEO reasons 😂

instead of making computers that can put anime tits on the mona lisa or kind of write a limerick they should instead invent an ai dryer that can fold my god damn laundry

Did TechCrunch send me video equipment, including tripods, to make TikToks? Yes. Am I still using a Tupperware on top of two books on top of a blender on my ottoman? Yes.

grief is so alienating bc it’s like. if you haven’t lost someone close to you in a very unexpected way when they’re still so young, you just can’t know what it’s like?? and yet I am constantly afraid that I am being over dramatic when I talk about it to other ppl but like I’m just so angry still

me: accessibility in video games is important. anyone should be able to enjoy games and feel welcome in gaming spaces. also me: lmao hades god mode lol

to be fair I think it’s just a matter of how much time you want to spend on the game. I have played like 300+ hours and at the beginning I was really frustrated with the difficulty and I just played through it by sheer will but most people don’t wanna play like 50 hours before they finish the story!

Also I think there’s like different intensities of how godly the god mode is and I played on my friend’s switch once who has gos mode and it was like… you took 90% less damage??? At that point there’s no enjoyment in the gameplay?? But if the damage reduction isn’t as intense I think it’s fine!!!

if I were a man I would be so toxic. I love Radiohead. I write poetry. I strategize about my credit card points.

I think playing Hades on god mode lowkey ruins the game (this is my most toxic take and I know I’m wrong)
