Hijacking this comment for recommending my two favorite rouge lites Noita and Balatro. Both have the possibility to save and quit at any time.

I realized I only have the patience for (relatively) short singleplayer games (I just hate grinding in general in video games).

Some of my favorites are:
NieR:Automata (around 40-60 hours of playtime. This one might seem ironic, as it does have some repetition, but it has no grinding and always something interesting new. It also has by far the best story of any game I've ever played)

The Beginners Guide (~4 hours of gameplay. It is super unique and has a cool take on psychology, which I haven't seen in any other game or movie. But you need to play it all the way to the end for it to make sense)

Noita (hard rouge like, and the only one I really enjoy. It's also very unique in its genre and you can always save and quit.)

Balatro (technically also a rouge lite, but with playing poker hands. It has short rounds and is a casual game, if you only have a few minutes ans don't know what to play)

"Back when I started playing there was no community"
I'm sorry but that's just... false. Maybe you weren't aware of it, but even in the Beta there were already mods. I myself started playing in 1.0 and played until around 1.7 and basically all the playtime I have was playing on servers or modding the shit out of this game. (Back then you actually needed to do that manually, as mod launchers weren't a thing)

So I'm still a bit confused as to why you are frustrated, since noone is forcing you to play the new vanilla versions.

Sure, the Mojang team itself tried to make it more accessible, which is a very reasonable thing to do for any game really. I know there are many games, where a wiki is mandatory, buta game should explain itself, so I understand why they did that.

However (although I haven't really followed it) the community still seems to be pretty much the same as before to me. If anything the stuff they archieved is even bigger, than back then. Stuff like Distant Horizons or the Create Mod could simply nit have existed back then.

What I'm getting at is that you don't have to play vanilla and there are more possibilities than ever before (including lots and lots of modpacks and servers, which definitely do need an external wiki)

Hey, that's what I wanted to write!

It doesn't just have the basic explanations of things and documents literally everything, but it even has huge guides on how to do stuff.

When I recently looked, there were like 10 different examples of parallel world teleporting wands. All listed with their advantages and disadvantages.

You should probably learn how to read.

I've been using tree-style tabs since I've switched back to Firefox. It works really well and I've even disabled the tab-bar and am only using the side panel.

without any serious work

this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.

If there are four panels and you don't get it, it's loss

Those numbers don't even try to add up to 100%, so I guess each kid wants multiple things

Looks, like I might be wrong. I thought I remembered it from this article

but, while it says, that your data will probably be sold, it seems like the second part I remembered came from somewhere else, so might not be reputable. Maybe I'll later do some more research, but it took me a while already to find this blogpost again, since it's been a while, since I've read it.

Yes. Even though this one wasn't a discord breach, it's bound to happen sooner or later. But your data is probably already being sold, even without a breach, as the founder of discord is known to (illigally iirc) sell customer data, before he even founded discord.
