Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it's hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.

That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?

If you're referring to the US' Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas' Pornhub search history or something like that.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video's channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

• Go to Home.

• Long-press on a video.

• Press "Go to channel".

• Go to Subscriptions.

• Long-press on a video.

• Fewer options because fuck you.

• Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

• Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that's just one example.

That's how politics work in the US.

Not really, unfortunately. All these "if you don't vote for A you're voting for B" arguments would be a little more applicable if the US presidential election was a simple majority vote, but anyone with the most basic of US politics knowledge has heard of the Electoral College. Hillary Clinton wasn't elected president in 2016, but not because more people voted for Trump.

And that's without taking into the account voting suppression. Would you tell someone who can't vote because of racist laws that they are "voting for Trump"?

I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I've never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.

Malloy is a similar project but I haven't look into it yet.

My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn't for a lot of programmers thinking "my tools are more difficult to use, hence I'm a better programmer".

Regarding the IP address, how are they going to get it? I assumed that servers wouldn't pass them along to other nodes, isn't that the case?

Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur's Gate 3.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!

Yes, you can manually assign each wheel slot, but when you have a few dozen spells and actions it's really long and boring. I'd like it more if it behaved like the hotbar, with things sorted automatically and space for personal favorites.

You can't multiclass on Explorer, but I think you can change the difficulty while at camp, level up or respec to multiclass, and change it back again.
