I think both of these could be great movies, but could also be done extremely poorly (especially helldivers). I hope they get people who like and understand the IPs for these ones.

And shoutout to the few games that make floating island and make a whole ass scene down below you can't even get to just to be pretty and awe inspiring.

I think old reddit is only preferable if you prefer text posts, which is what a lot of the original redditors are nostalgic for. At least that's what I've gathered over the years. I also started on new reddit and I've never understood the issue with it (at least while running an ad blocker that is)

I've heard this law mentioned before, but interestingly in that same Wikipedia article there are several studies mentioned that seemed to conclude it's not true at all:

A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals (not news publications) that set out to test Betteridge's law and Hinchliffe's rule (see below) found that few titles were posed as questions and of those that were questions, few were yes/no questions and they were more often answered "yes" in the body of the article rather than "no".

A 2018 study of 2,585 articles in four academic journals in the field of ecology similarly found that very few titles were posed as questions at all, with 1.82 percent being wh-questions and 2.15 percent being yes/no questions. Of the yes/no questions, 44 percent were answered "yes", 34 percent "maybe", and only 22 percent were answered "no".

In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by a data scientist and published on his blog, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent "yes" answers, 17 percent "no" answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine.

Supergiant has one of the best art teams in the business, so I'm not surprised it's hard to do.

I'm not an expert but I think you should be fine on the lower one. My understanding is that most plans wildly overemphasize what you need for an activity. Like they'll say the most expensive one is for gaming but in reality the cheap one would work completely fine for a single person.

I used to have 55mbps and I never had any issues. You won't be downloading huge games in minutes but just plan ahead and you'll be fine.

I got the same error. I complained to the settlement email and they sent me the same canned response twice in a row that the window had passed in 2022. I forwarded the email I got and got the same canned response again...

I think this person needs to play more indie horror games.

Don't judge yourself for that. The goal shouldn't ever be to use every waking moment finishing tasks. Gotta get some you time as well.

There's just something about this song that gets me every time.

Yeah it suddenly made sense why apps seem to always have new updates even when it's something super basic that doesn't need more features.

This isn't an answer to your main question, but I recently learned that if you don't release updates at your app for a couple years google deletes your app from the store (and your developer account if you only had one app). That's a reason why some old apps disappear.

Thanks for the info. You've given me some things I need to consider.

I see, thanks for the info

Can you clarify what you mean by a nonprofit domain? The places I would need to forward right now are a few gmail addresses, a domain I own, and a couple zoho addresses (though those also use a custom domain, not sure if that changes things).

That's a great callout and a very important feature to me. Do you use anything other than gmail? To be honest the encryption isn't the main selling point for me, I would just like to de-google where I can these days.

No actually, thanks for passing that along!

Someday this will be in a museum of cultural artifacts from this time period. What will the historians say about it?

I've never experienced a game that destroys time faster than this one, agreed. It also makes you sound completely unhinged to your partner when talking about what you just spent 6 hours doing.

I was very impressed by Gwent in that they managed to make a collectible card game that didn't feel derivative of Magic. Not an easy feat.
