Try switching to Parry Grip, some of it is OK and the catalogue is big enough they don't really get stuck.

And just to show solidarity the other day my kid just kept 'teenage mutant ninja turtles'ing for what felt like a half hour without a single 'heroes in a half shell' to round it off.

Can you imagine if you had all the time back you spent watching attack animations in RPGs over the years? There is definitely an immersion argument to be made, and this is why I just want the option to be available. I tend to be very mechanics focused and I play mostly puzzle games so I'm just here to 'figure it out'. For visuals and storytelling I'm reaching for different media first, that's personal preference not a knock on VG.

I just want to illustrate that I kind of still have 'down time' where I'm just staring at a screen that isn't changing, but the difference is that I'm playing the game in my head and thinking through things not being trapped for 2 seconds to watch somebody swing a sword. Especially if I've seen it a million times already and fully finished appreciating how cool it looks.

Your argument is really strong when it comes to action games though, but I guess we could also think about how it creates a build up and release of tension if applied mindfully. But that's usually not the case, it's just 'the formula says we need a cut scene here'.

Maybe the convergence of ideas here is to stand up brighter lines between playing and watching?

I think this a pretty accurate take. One place I'll add that retro games shine is fast forward, but that's not the games themselves as much as the platform. To me, that's their killer feature. When it comes to animations, I'm definitely not a patient gamer. And modern design seems to get this wrong constantly.

We use silicon bags and magnets. You let the top of the bag drape over the side of the bucket(tub? basin?) and hold it in place with a few magnets. From what I can tell the results are the same for the steaks and meat we cook and none of the sketchiness from eating slow heated plastic.

The version I'm specifically using is Adhuard Home, which runs on a raspberry pi that sits between your home network and the internet. Basically just like Pi Hole. So it will filter the DNS queries on your devices, including smart TV.

One of the options for a blocklist was specifically labeled as Smart TVs, so I'm presuming that one would take the fuss out of watching the logs and choosing which requests to block. This list is likely available for pi hole too, so that feature wouldn't be unique. I know sometimes these will also block firmware updates, so that's something to watch for.

Would anyone be willing to offer their opinion on a comparison with Adguard Home?

Last week I was upgrading an old pi hole installation and ultimately decided to switch for awhile. Found the wild card blocking on Adguard to be quite nice for the pop ups that point out you're using an ad blocker.

But really the more technical details are a bit out of my wheel house, so if anyone could weigh in perhaps if with this new version one of them has clearly pulled ahead or they are so similar it doesn't really matter?

Next to the dragon you have 216 and you know that the two squares above it, one is a mine and the other is a 3. This leaves one remaining square around the dragon that you know what it has to be by process of elimination because you haven't seen it yet.

!the egg is enough to level and then away you go!<

Thank you for taking the time, the perspective is helpful. Same answer as everything else then.

Just be more stubborn than the problem. =)

Wow, I feel seen. Currently fighting this battle, any tips or resources you found helpful?

I think it's the index(?), aggregation, and order of operations I'm struggling with the most.

P for power?

Yeah I'm looking at it. And I found my receipt for the game from a year earlier so I couldn't have used it. But it's been so long and that's not a trivial amount of money I'd want to be sure somehow before I wasted anybody's time.

I got a Rocket League key from 2016, why in the world would anyone want that? Can I see if it's redeemed without using it? If you want to broker for a cut send me a DM and we can start figuring out what's in here, I probably have other things too.

Do you know any particular ones worth looking for? I remember swearing I had a code for Pico 8 and it was such a pain to wade through to find it. Might be worth the slog again to see if I had some valuable keys, been buying these things for awhile.

Spot on, this is also referred to as Goodhart's Law.

Thanks for the additional detail, this is a really interesting project.

The website says 99.9% but also that the level was cleared by cardigacimeira?

Mothership does something similar, when someone goes down you roll in the dice in a cup and turn it over so no one knows the result unless they spend a turn doing triage. The drama is so intense since the situations are usually really frantic.

Great call, you have to be careful that you get the color version!

I lost my original copy and when I replaced it, there was no more color. Had to return that one to find one with color. I think it adds so much.

The Knife of Never Letting Go has a couple cool sections with fonts where as the action is rising you start turning pages faster.
