Nintendo and Sega’s IP. I did not grow up with them and have never seen the appeal or hype around them.

Been with Posteo for years now. They’re very solid.

Yeah, same here.

Bitwarden.

Thank you! And yeah I do! There are links in the print section on my website. Not every image is available on each print service as they all have different requirements.

On the plus side: Building and maintaining a nuclear stockpile is extremely expensive. This will serve as yet another open, gushing tap on Russia’s finances as they haemorrhage money from the war.

I am open to the idea of paying for quality services that put the customer first. Hell, I pay for my email and have done so for years.

But Kagi has always squicked me out a bit. Some of their business practices over the years have been rather questionable, especially their push into AI which is exactly the sort of thing someone looking at Kagi would probably want to avoid. They are also very expensive. They’re one of those services that just assumes everyone is American so they just give a $ cost and don’t specify beyond that, so I’m going to assume their prices are in USD which means a plan for my dad and myself is $21CAD a month. That absurdly overpriced for a search engine subscription.

To put that into perspective: A YouTube premium family plan covers up to 6 accounts and is the same price and includes unlimited video and music streaming. Thoughts about YouTube aside and looking at this from a pure value perspective, paying that same price just for a search engine is a godawful shit deal. Do you know what my email costs per month? $1.25CAD

Can’t say I am surprised even slightly. Following up the smash-hit of Control with a whimsical, tongue-in-cheek, class bssed FPS co-op multiplayer game was a really stupid move. That’d be like Valve saying they’re releasing Half-Life 3 as a third person extraction shooter.

They seem pretty disconnected with what their fans actually want. The world and lore that Control establishes (and links with Alan Wake, ofc) is so rich and interesting with so many mysteries and unknowns left untapped. They could’ve continued the story with Jesse or another character and it probably would’ve sold like hotcakes.

The TES series in general for its massive, expansive lore.

But Morrowind in particular has absolutely incredible world-building with incredible creativity and originality. There is a reason why so many people keep going back to the n’wah simulator and it’s because the world is so rich and fleshed out. So much of the following games was built off Morrowind’s stunning work.

I cannot think of a piece of software that I want on my computer less than something like this. Literal voluntary malware.

The USA. I’ve never actually been there but you couldn’t even pay me to cross the border. I’d rather not risk being disappeared to a ICE torture site because they searched my phone and found out I called Trump a poopoo head.
