I mean by all accounts Artifact was actually a great game if you wanted a digital CCG. Deadlock is going the Dota route of making all gameplay content free, I'm sure there will be a skin market but that's irrelevant to me, and the game is already very fun. I trust the Valve/Dota balance team far more than any other similar game's, so I really don't see what could derail it from at least moderate success at this point.

Oh god, survival crafting games were a dime a dozen back then. Though I am eagerly awaiting the 1.0 release of Satisfactory next month so clearly I never got my fill :p

W1 still has probably the best writing and script of any of the three games. I definitely prefer the third for gameplay but W1 is just an artifact of the awkward time it came out, when there was a lot less consensus on how 3rd person action games controlled.

I think it's like the canonical answer to this question so yes

Myst is certainly a bit of an odd one. There are more modern versions with full 3d graphics, and some of the puzzles are all time classics, but Riven was always the better game. There's a remake of that one which just came out, though it also doesn't hold your hand as far as figuring out what to do.

Objective application of international law puts the existence of the state of Israel on pretty shaky ground. It's not an unreasonable position at all to support the dismantling of the state, as it's an apartheid occupation engaged in active genocide by nearly global consensus. Jewish opposition to Zionism has been present since its inception. Any co-opting of the movement into anti-semitism is opportunistic and not inherent in any way.

Don't worry I'm sure someone will explain rationally instead of just calling you bigoted for asking this.

My caps is backspace, try it and you'll never look back (though Ctrl is good too). It's actually part of the colemak layout that I use.

When combined with sed, sure, but the difficulty ratings should be swapped.

Your comment is highly ironic given that the API in question is an effort to reduce the amount of personal data collected by advertisers.

That's why they did it in sets of three. They could just give every user a blank text box for every option, but doing it this way makes it far easier to analyze the data in bulk.

Well, it literally is from the definition of the word... And also, if you'd ever been to North Dakota in the winter, you might even prefer words like "balmy".
