  Yeah, I figured it would probably be something more like that order of operations. But I’m also sure there is probably a clause in the agreement between dev and store that says they can pull your game for any reason without notice, so there’s probably nothing that can be done.

  I do kind of wonder of any of these game devs could go after these payment processing companies for loss of income? I’m not a lawyer, but I’d definitely be looking into it if I was a Dev that has been effected by this.

  At least with Team Fortress 2 they have always had dedicated servers you can host yourself. Most GaaS never provide a server that you can run and host yourself.

  I run a naked pixel 8 as well. One I had last year flew out of my pocket while on a roller coaster, I got it back a couple of months later and only the glass on the back was shattered everything else worked fine. I do believe it landed in a grassy area and can’t really work out when it flew out so I’m not sure how high up or fast we were going at the time.

  Quite possibly illegal in the US as well under the CAN-SPAM Act as it requires emails to have a emails must include a clear and easy-to-use unsubscribe mechanism.

  You should be able to plug a small switch into the router and then you’ll have more ports available. I’d suggest a 1gb or faster, depending on the speed limitations of the ports on the router you could go for faster a fast switch if you think you’d need it.

  That’s generally why when you’re younger people tend to put their retirement funds into riskier investments and over time as you get closer to retirement you move portions of your money into less risky things that don’t have the potential volatility of the stock market so that by the time you retire you don’t have to worry about the stock market dipping and blowing out your retirement funds. At least that’s one way to do it; obviously this isn’t investment advice and you should seek your own professional investment advice.

  I’ll look them up, thanks for the recommendation!

  I came to the same conclusion about my usual disinterest in books stemming from me having Aphantasia. The only kinds of books I’ve been able to consistently get through are very comedic in their writing style (e.g. Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Dennis E. Taylor, etc.). I think the focus on humor instead of visualizing the story and its world is what helps me when it comes to reading books.

  Pretty strong case of Aphantasia here, it never even occurred to me that people actually saw things in their minds eye and thought it was more a metaphor or something. I do, however, have a very talkative internal monologue. I have a friend who has no internal monologue paired with Aphantasia, I always enjoy talking with them about their experience and how it differs from my own.

  It’s really interesting to me how people’s internal experience can differ and how we can never truly know what these different experiences are like.

  Looks like the USA is still about $10 trillion higher in GDP than China.
