Yes, by plot I of course mean those things that happened

How does it compare to Heliboard?
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 1 week ago:
I just deny most mobile games the network permission, though obviously this doesn’t work if you actually need any internet access (and I don’t think all devices give you control over that permission)

Lazing around
- Comment on Eyes 1 week ago:
As appropriate for a post about fish I’ve taken the bait and looked up just what the fuck is going on. It’s a barreleye or macropinna microstoma and it’s pretty cool.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism [404 Media] 2 weeks ago:
My timeline is full of reactive hot takes and gotchas by people who still seem to think they can quote-dunk their way out of fascism—or who know they can’t, but simply can’t resist taking the bait
Whatever happened to “don’t feed the trolls”, eh?

Lol fair point. A couple of the newer characters I remember being easier too, Aria is impossible though.
- Comment on Rift of the NecroDancer Official Launch Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Bard is good for learning the mechanics at a slow pace (if I remember correctly, it’s been a while!)
- Comment on Mum wrongly turned away from easyJet family holiday flight over EU passport rules 2 weeks ago:
“Given the sheer scale of easyJet’s operation, it’s hard to believe they haven’t resolved what is ultimately a very simple compliance issue.”
Given the business model of easyJet’s operation it’s easy to believe they encourage their staff to questionably enforce arbitrary rules, even when they can’t directly profit from it

AI has become a meaningless buzzword you can apply to anything, so no

Not just a pointless “AI bad” article, actually some decent (though very brief) points

I misread it at first too, but it says “lacks one of the following traits”

Just one of the reasons that Teams is horrible to use!

The reason is that it’s great for collaboration and sharing info
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator 2 weeks ago:
I don’t do modern consoles, do people consider 30fps acceptable?
- Comment on Unionized 3 weeks ago:
Here’s a version without the bad crop, comedy homicide, pointless circle around the punchline, and puritanical censoring
- Comment on Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin blames 'dinner party classes' for pubs crisis 4 weeks ago:
FYI it’s the other way round: cakes are not luxury items but chocolate biscuits are. Apparently they baked a cake-sized jaffa cake as part of their legal case!

Seems to run fine on my phone
- Comment on Best version of Pandemic boardgame on Android? 4 weeks ago:
I remember playing “Pandemic” as a flash game (or similar) many years ago. Plague Inc seemed to basically be the same game, and I think Pandemic the board game is completely unrelated. Not very helpful for your actual question, but I think it explains the search results.

I didn’t resist the urge and now I’m many layers deep in reading through this colossal wiki

Weirdly it’s exactly how 40k Space Marines work!

See the tweet from Balatro’s developer:
Since PEGI gave us an 18+ rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3+ like EA sports FC
