It looks like the patch has improvements for the server, so you might look into upgrading!
I have surpassed mere procrastination, and now I simply never do anything.
This reminds me of the bit in Hitchhiker's Guide where Zaphod unwittingly gets into the torture device that forces you to see exactly how small and short lived you are compared to the vastness of existence, and somehow comes out of it even more convinced that he's the most important person in the universe.
Also, because this isn’t anywhere near the first time Emiru has been attacked in public, she points out that she’s spent tens of thousands of dollars for her own private security, and wasn’t even allowed to bring her preferred bodyguard with her because he’s permanently banned from Twitch events due to restraining a stalker during a previous event.
What the fuck? They banned her bodyguard for protecting her and then asked her to come back without him? It's like they wanted her to get assaulted.
This "fact sheet" looks like Lockheed Martin marketing material. I feel like an enthusiast's fact sheet would be more likely to focus on the plane itself instead of the programs and partnerships.
The first screen is sort of a tutorial, though. If you go right first because you've played Super Mario Bros. or some other platformer and you think going right might be the way to win, you're presented with a narrow passage you can't crawl through. At this point, you'll discover that you can also go left. There's another rock formation with a narrow passage, but from this side you can jump on top of it to get over it, and you'll find the Morph Ball. From the Morph Ball side, you can't jump back over, so you have to figure out how to get through the narrow passage by pressing down to enter Morph Ball mode. Now you understand the game: find obstacles, acquire the corresponding upgrades, use them to bypass the obstacles.
What does she mean there was a "generational shift" that led to people burning CDs? Back in the floppy disk days, everyone was copying floppies—I remember when my grandfather bought a Mac to use at home, and immediately his friends at work loaded him up with copied disks. Which generation is she thinking of that wasn't pirating a ton of software?
If you search for "poker" on PEGI's site, it seems that many games which are actually about simulated gambling are rated 12 or 16. They seem to think Balatro is more likely to expose children to realistic gambling than, say, Prominence Poker or Pure Hold'em World Poker Championship, which seems completely bizarre, given that those games are about playing poker and Balatro is a fancy kind of solitaire with no betting.
The $250/month plan supposedly includes unlimited traffic. If there's actually a limit where you're supposed to switch to a more expensive plan with no standardized price, maybe CF should say what the limit is?
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he voted against the reauthorization "because it failed to include the most important requirement to protect Americans' civil rights: that law enforcement get a warrant before targeting a US citizen."

Is all bad online behavior "trolling" now? Isn't "shill" a better word for someone who is paid to surreptitiously promote something?
"In possession of a tremendous amount of unauthorized materials?" Surely what they're actually objecting to is distribution of the materials, unless they think he never bought Diablo and those are illicitly acquired .pngs? Also what's the "unless" part, surely any settlement would require him to remove the material anyway? The tone of this email reads like something I'd find in my spam folder trying to get me to send gift cards to the "IRS."
