I always hate to put 'technically ambitious and fumbled' games in the 'worst' lists because I have deep respect for people who shot for the stars and missed.

the subreddits for luxury watches are some of the darkest places on earth

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

It is very good that Discord seemingly built their initial game list from games/apps that show up in their activity feed and somehow pulled the box art for Dolphin for the 2600 when everyone is actually running Dolphin the Emulator. I hope they never change it.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

i said this a few weeks ago, but a reminder that windows 10 being "end of life" does not mean your operating system will immediately stop working. even if the OS itself doesn't get updates, the apps you use most often (the browser.) still are. more important to have adblock + firewall these days

Unless you're specifically aiming to play with .wads that take advantage of GZDoom's scripting features, I would heavily recommend DSDA-Doom (running it through dsda-launcher) for even more casual end users - its default settings are a good deal less annoying than GZD's filtering and jumping.
