I am no fan of Google and consider them a dingleberry on the ass of life, but if you are using ChromeOS, their design standards are actually intuitive and work well, otherwise I agree with you. That said, I think they are changing ChromeOS for the worse.

At least the Glass will be better than MS's attempt as it will actually work, whether you like the aesthetic or not.

Have already seen some calling it Liquid Ass. Didn't like the ''Glass'' design when MS tried to pull it off decades ago.

Needs to be something that can be uninstalled (or not installed by default). Bloat because you can, seems to be the hill MS has been willing to die on for decades.

Putting this here instead of a different thread as it is kinda related, but seriously, WTF? This is a perfect example of why I have never let a Windows system apply updates of any kind.

NES Maker allows you to create a game not using code, but you can dig into the code if you want to be more advanced. Knew several people on TwiX using it, and there are a lot of games on Itch.io using it.
