That's where I remember it from.

This makes me feel very old.

Windows XP era? Excuse me? It goes all the way back to Windows 95. The original game by Maxis is even older.

Talk about exactly what you did to bypass it!

In the US we call them "tea candles" and I only now realized why.

I'm not in any way de-Googled, but I'm an old person who just wants to watch the occasional youtube link without all of the extra bullshit, and newpipe is perfect for that. Not having subscriptions or being able to login to my Google account is absolutely a feature, not a bug.

Also, quick plug for NewPipe x SponsorBlock which can be added to F-Droid (I've since switched to Obtanium for it)

In my opinion, single player games without a pause function are disrespectful to the player and I'm not going to reward them with money.

"But my game is hard! You should never be able to feel safe! Not even to pause! Because it's hard!"

Yes, well, sometimes I have to use the toilet.

I never thought "being able to pause the game" would be on a list of deal breakers for me, but here we are.

Unless you're printing in color every day, you are absolutely better off getting a black & white laser and having the color prints done at a print shop.
