LEGO The Lord of the Rings gets updated and it's now Steam Deck Verified
The classic LEGO The Lord of the Rings adventure from Traveller's Tales has been upgraded, and it's now Steam Deck Verified too.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I first wanted to catch the light filtering through green leaves, when the dead tree appeared in my viewfinder.
I keep the viewfinder set to black and white, so contrasts speak louder than colors. That shift of vision brought the tree into focus. Again and again, I need the viewfinder to remind me: the world in black and white is never the same as the world I see.
And what we see is never the same as reality itself.

First, the cookie banner swoops in like a mall cop with a clipboard: “Can we track every pixel of your soul?” Before you can hit “Accept All,” a newsletter modal barges in — “Wait! Don’t you want exclusive tips?” You close that, and boom, an onboarding overlay takes over the whole screen, walking you through features you didn’t ask for. Oh, and while you’re here, would you like to turn on notifications? And how about upgrading/subscribing? Oh, and don’t forget to turn off that AdBlocker!
By the time you actually see the thing you came for, your will to live is halfway down the drain
It’s not one pop-up or one tutorial that ruins the experience. It’s the stack of them. One after another. Every single session.
We love to talk about performance budgets — how much JavaScript we can ship before things crawl. But we don’t talk enough about attention budgets. Every user arrives with a limited supply of patience. Burn it all in the first 30 seconds, and it doesn’t matter how beautiful your UI is — they’re gone.
What we see today is the Web of desperation.
Startup got thirsty. Funding dried down. Growth became a religion. Every visitor was seen as a potential “conversion opportunity” that had to be squeezed for value immediately. We started celebrating tiny bumps in sign-ups or click-throughs without noticing the bigger, slower damage to long-term retention.
Instead of letting users explore naturally, we began pushing “Invite your team!” prompts on first login, or locking key features behind upgrade walls before users have even had a win.
Don’t ask for a review on day one. Wait until the user has a positive outcome to share.
Don’t run a 15-step onboarding tour before they’ve done anything.
Show tips in context when they’re relevant. If a user says “not now,” actually respect that.
Don’t hit them with the same prompt in the next session like nothing happened.
It’s basically the same principle as good conversation: don’t dominate, and don’t ask for too much too soon.
Use a non-blocking consent toast. Let users start browsing immediately. Make “Reject All” as prominent as “Accept All,” and keep settings one click away.
Prompt upgrade popups only when the user actually needs a Pro feature. If dismissed, give it a long cooldown before showing again.
Don’t ask for notification permissions right away, without the user even knowing what you’re going to notify them about. Ask in context: “Want to get notified when your report is ready?” If they say yes, then show the browser prompt.
This isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about retention economics. Every unnecessary prompt chips away at trust and habit formation. You can’t build loyalty on a foundation of annoyance.
Push back when a growth metric is chasing short-term wins at the expense of long-term health. Run 90-day tests. Track retention after the first week. Ask: “Will this make people want to come back?”
Dark design patterns and intrusive ads and tracking are pushing users away from websites and towards pre-distilled answers from LLMs.
The sites that will survive? The ones that let users get things done without treating them like walking email addresses.
Respect the attention budget. Delay the asks. Let people breathe.

Gheed Kassem, lawyer for Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, who was kidnapped by Israeli army months ago from the hospital, shared in a Facebook post Dr. Abu Safiya’s message from his jail cell:
"I entered in the name of humanity, and I will leave in the name of humanity. I'm the one who was abducted from inside the hospital. We will remain on our land & continue to provide healthcare services to the people, God willing, even from a tent."

A beautiful night at the Masjid-Al-Haram (The Sacred Mosque) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, with the stunning architecture of the new expansion and the iconic clock tower lit up in the background. Seeing this sacred place is a truly spiritual experience.

Keir Starmer understands White Nationalists wanting to burn refugees, but he cannot understand a pacifist grandma protesting a genocide.
He thinks he's doing a balancing act, but we know is it not for us and that Labour is a lie now.
He doesn't even care that you and I will never vote Labour because of his racism, we just don't matter to him or his vision of the country.
We are 'Citizens of Nowhere' to him.
