The camera was never a priority for me. Seemed fine for my very basic needs, but I can't comment on it's actual features or quality

I used Graphene for a month. It was absolutely amazing, except from not having contactless payment.
The sooner they win their lawsuit against Google to get 3rd party OS attestation the better. I'll jump back in a heartbeat

The chokepoints still cover kilometers or more.
It's not like all the cables were run at the same time

Discarded cards can't be played again until the next round. Essentially destroying them for that round.
Hitler is fairly well known for blaming Jews and working on their genocide.

It is a reach. But I saw the castle painting in The Gentlemen series, and thought it looked familiar.
Unless there is something else about the word castle, or that artwork that is relevant? Considering how on point so much else of the artwork and names are

The attention to detail is amazing.

I think the Castle joker ( https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Castle_(Joker) seen in the trailer) resembles Schloss Neuschwanstein ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Adolf_Hitler_-_Schloss_Neuschwanstein.jpg ). Painted by Hitler, the whole discarding cards to gain more power takes a bit of a sinister turn.

There are loads of other awesome art details

Markdown is messing with the wiki link

Military contractors advertise on the London underground because MPs, MI5 and MI6 have plenty of staff who commute.
Plenty of public servants use social media.
In Scotland, Scottish Water (a publicly owned nationalised company) has to advertise.

It's not necessarily about selling new products, but maintaining awareness and keeping up opinion.

I remember when gas was sweet.
Now it just makes me shit myself :(

I'm pretty sure the whole "the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name" bit means not-white-male.
So, it's a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racism

AI is hype.
They've recently signed a deal with Reddit for AI parsable data. Reddit reciprocated by allowing Google to be the only indexable search engine.
Google now thinks it can do the same to literally everyone else.
Googling is pretty damn mainstream.
Don't give Google your data, then don't be included in googles search results. It's like a flip of their previous trade with reddit, except it's not a trade. It's extortion.

Reddit never gave Google traffic. They gave them content and data.
And Google thinks it can withdraw traffic from other sites unless they get data in return.
Google is a monopoly.
Literally extortion

CohhCarnage said something about this.
Game Devs often include requests along these lines for sponsored segments of a stream (and only the parts of the stream paid for), including talking about COVID during the high point of the COVID pandemic.

The odd part that he noted is some of the specific wording, that he attributed to mistranslation - like "feminist propaganda".

I have no idea about the parts relating to Chinese game dev.

The benefit of the doubt in me says: this is some bad translation and culture disconnect.
The pragmatist in me says: this guides content creators. So, take such content with a pinch of salt in these regards - play the game if it actually seems decent.

I feel like the pragmatist is pretty much default these days, all content guides you to some conclusion. So do what the fuck you want.

Fund the IRS?
Meh.
Fund the IRS to go after companies with >100 global employees. Yes!
