I feel like stalemate is closer. The game needs to continue as nobody has won yet there is literally no move the opponent can make.

Sadly the bad part of bonzi buddy has been a part of our phones for a long time already. Though you can get away from most of it thanks to a little French OS: e.foundation

We used both metric and imperial in the UK so we get used to doing conversions a lot. A 1.5m cable would be 5ft as 1ft is ~30cm. 1 yard would be ~90cm and 1 mile would be ~1.6KM. Even for weights we're all over the place. I can go buy groceries by the KG and then go home and weigh myself in stone.

Personally I just disabled replies showing on my feed. I have the same mindset here as I do to Twitter. Comfy posts and friends only. Anything hateful/political gets removed.

Honestly I found gaming to be way more fun when I began focusing more of my time on indie titles instead. Most AAA titles have either gone down the live service model where they expect to make the game your second job and pay all the time or are full of busywork tasks in a barren world. :(

That's part of the problem. Devs/publishers have realised that the average person will just buy a bigger hard drive or a new GPU if they can't play their game so they have little reason to optimise their code/compress assets/etc especially when such a task costs time and money.

tbf it felt inevitable when they basically started giving the game away to get more players. It was ambitious yet I don't think the market is big enough to sustain a puzzle platformer MMO.

"that's gay" no u

Yup. Same game. The bosses in this game were absolute freaks. Especially considering you blew parts of them off with spells lmao

This post makes me sad that it contradicts itself in the image. Wiz n Liz had crazy tight physics for a platformer. Which was kind of required considering how brutal the later levels get.

Tbf some products' entire success comes from marketing. Just look at how hard coca cola has to force advertisements down people's throats whilst also making deals with every business they can to try and stock only products they produce. Those fridges and dispensers you see are owned by cola cola.

Generally it's best to instead listen to the products recommended to you by those who genuinely enjoy the product and you can trust rather than those who got paid to talk about the product to you. Even then it's also best to do your own research after the fact to make sure the product is legitimate.

Honey, NordVPN, Surfshark, Raid:SL.. pretty much every product that has spent a massive marketing budget on sponsors has turned out to either be completely awful or has a catch the consumer won't notice until it's too late.

Personally I would say either 1 or 4. 2 feels a bit too bare and 3 feels out of place. Personally I like 1 the most yet I feel like it needs something else. 🤔

My biggest gripe with the Civ games is that the difficulty settings don't actually make the AI any smarter. It just buffs them so hard you can only play in one way to win.

For your usual "b-pad" charger it would be a good idea to grab yourself a 30W charger to make sure your charging speeds are just as quick as the original.
comment in response to post
To be fair you don't need a specifically branded charger/cable to charge your device. Depending as to whether or not your tablet is Type-C or lightning you can just grab a decent quality cable of the appropriate connector type alongside a charger.

This system *technically* doesn't have a rainbow *on* it, yet their logo had used rainbows in the mid-80s

I saw them occasionally on Twitter yet I swear they're way more common on this platform. What is their goal? Spam follow to advertise something? Shotgun follows and hope 1 in 100 follow back?

This song is in English yet I never even noticed what the lyrics were saying until someone gave me them in text form. Damn.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkUN...

Sadly I learned about the block trick too late. Though at least the desktop version was ad-free for me thanks to ubo :D

Should be useful for a lot of people. Thanks for making the list! 😃

Next update: ok and cancels buttons appear on random parts of the screen. Next update: ok button requires opening a randomly specified app on your device.

I can see why devs chose to not go down that path. Though one idea I did have is to allow it and have a hidden "enrage" bar on the boss. The more you spam debuffs, the more angry and aggressive they get. That way you can still debuffs them yet it won't become a broken strategy 😊

It would make sense culturally for America as they were founded far later when food shortages weren't a major problem. Though in a lot of European countries potato or wheat (usually bread)-based dishes are way more common. I think it's all because a country found a staple carb that's easy to grow.

It may not help, though I find it to be a lot easier to track things in first-person titles by aiming less at where the opponent was and more where the opponent will be. For single-shot items like sniper rifles you can use a "guitar hero" method and let the opponent come to your crosshair instead :)

This one thinks floating ones have the right idea 🙂
