I remember using Opera Mini, even on an iPhone. Had a lousy data plan where they would throttle it massively at some point. Opera mini was the way I could continue surfing the web without all those megabytes of cruft (even back theb) https://mstdn.social/@osnews/114598061141994857

@… also question given your posts about finding various web games: have you played Stephen Lavelle's "Opera Omnia" or Adam Cadre's "Photopia?" Neither is technically a web game, but they both have strong web-game-like feel to me, and they are some of the best games I've ever played in terms of game length vs. emotional impact.

I've never written a novel or any other intensely-plotted work of fiction, but anyone who has read or watched it played a lot of stories can probably also recognize that some authors just aren't good at endings. They're great at setting things in motion, at keeping the twists and turns coming, at the soap opera style of drama. But they just don't have the craft necessary to tie things together into a satisfying conclusion. I imagine it's much harder than the process of getting things going out keeping them moving, since you both have to wind down all the various threads you've spun up and balance satisfaction with believability.
I just finished Girl Gone Viral by Arvin Ahmadi, and it has a bad ending. The beginning is fine, the middle has plenty of drama to keep you wanting to see what happens, but the ending is murky, unsatisfying, and manages neither veracity nor satisfaction (even discounting the biggest next step that might reasonably have been left there to make room for a sequel).
Given the other issues with the book, from poor politics, to inauthentic characters, to a techno-optimism that feels as bitter in this moment as it is far from the mark in its predictions, I can't recommended it, despite having read through to the end.
