    Look at anything from publisher New Blood Interactive on Steam for a starting point. Mostly retro style FPS from differing eras, but there are a few other game types. Plus you'll s…

    Simply rephrasing the question would get better responses. "I'm sure they thought of this, but could someone explain why they don't just divert...?"

    Thread with many replies, the deepest replies end up very squashed right in portrait, it's annoying to read. As is the flag/dead style but that's another matter. Obviously nothing …

    If you pay for a subscription to Audible and accrue monthly credits, they will steal the unused ones back when you cancel the subscription. Not making a judgement either way, just …

    Wow, I've never heard anyone else describe that.. but I had the same on Win95 (iirc) after messing about with the COM port setup too much. You could try to load a website and see t…

    I dodged the Atom and picked up an Acer 1810tz. 4gb RAM, intel U4100 CPU, ran rings around netbooks at the time and I still use it here and there to this day. Probably the best key…

    Welcome to hn in recent years. The site desperately needs some form of meta moderation.. I've barely scrolled this thread and seen multiple examples already.

    This is similar to the Rogan interview, but I figured I'd mention it here too. MrBeast was just on Flagrant with Andrew Schulz for 4 hours, a day or so ago: https://www.youtube.com…

    I'd love to know how often a 'reject all' button actually objected to all 'legitimate interest' crap too. I expected the answer is site and consent management system dependent, so …
