Someday, that's what we'll be sold as "The Singularity". Some company like Apple or Google will offer us ascendance into the cloud, but we'll actually just become digital slave labor.

Yeah, my only major criticism of the game is the way they handled difficulty settings. "Story" mode still requires you to learn the mechanics and play the way they intended. It should have been called "easy" or "casual" or something and had a separate "story" mode that is really just about enjoying the story without any combat difficulty.
I don't really enjoy turn-based combat or quick time events, so this game would have been a complete pass for me, but I decided to check it out on Game Pass and I really liked the art, music, and story. I ended up modding out all the combat challenge so I could enjoy it anyway, but it would have been better if I could tweak it through the settings and maybe end up with something a little more balanced.
My favorite mod to the game is increasing the parry time.
I streamed it on Game Pass for about 30 min and was bored and quit after the first level. I'm not really the target audience, but I still expected more.
It drives me nuts that my state has "deregulated" natural gas. All natural gas in the region is supplied to every home by a single company (the same one as before deregulation). I pay at least $35 a month all year just for the privilege of being connected to it.
BUT, I don't actually do business with that company. I get to pick from a dozen companies that all provide front-end billing for my natural gas. They advertise how much they will charge per therm used (plus an admin fee), but that price is on top of what I pay to the company actually providing gas. If I have an issue with the gas, the supplier comes out to deal with it, not the company I pay every month. And, I have to change companies every 6-24 months to maintain the advertised rates, otherwise they increase my cost after the new customer price expires. Its fake competition that added an extra step to the process and increases prices compared to the regulated version that used to exist.
Obviously, twice per sexual would be semi-sexual.
The free version is nice and easy to use, but I think you need the paid version to do custom programs. Luckily, they have a reasonably priced lifetime subscription price, unlike a lot of the apps owned by major companies.
There's a bit of a learning curve for setting up complicated progression programs, but that's because it has a huge amount of flexibility. For example, you can build a 4 week progression plan with heavy days and light days where the weights are all calculated on a custom scale and it will provide some recommendations, but you still have to pick all the options you want.
My preferred app (Fit Notes) is Android only and doesn't have any of the fancy features you mention.
My second favorite app (Personal Training Coach) does appear to be on Apple and has lots more features. You can pick between many popular lifting programs or setup your own. Programs can be built with progression plans and timers and can increase weight after a successful session, hold weights if you are unable to complete a progression, or reduce weight after multiple failed attempts.
I loaded up Story Mode + as many gameplay mods as I could find and am making progress. I might finish it in the next month or two at my current rate.
It looks a little awkward to reload, but other than that, I can't think of any other drawbacks.

I bought the first one for $20. For the second I'll play on Game Pass, if it is available, or again wait for $20. Maybe even less if I forget about it, which I might.
