I feel the same about multiplayer games without gated progression and LAN server hosting. (Or local/splitscreen)

These days I can’t even play a multiplayer game with friends somewhere with shitty internet. And because of progression you have to force yourself to only play together, but never with different people or by yourself because then you will get ahead.

In the future, actual hacking will just involve social engineering corporate ai systems ( aka prompt hijacking )

Try Readest, open source, works on android, ios, linux, etc. Has syncing of books and highlights/notes. Still in active development though.
