[Obligatory] Your mom.

What if you take off the costume? Humans aren't entirely bilaterally symmetrical (at least not on the inside) and obviously not radially symmetrical so the paradox continues.

I'm sure that would cause a significant portion of the playerbase to react with angry and hurtful messages. Then poor Blizzard would have no choice but to wipe their tears with their massive new pile of hundred dollar bills.

Yeah, in GTA IV, Niko doesn't have any character stats, and his appearance never changes except for whatever clothes you buy. I assume it's the same for the 3 protagonists in V.

I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I've known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

That's the thing. You can launch Steam and have it just get the hell out of your way, and go enjoy your games. You don't really have to interact with any of the features on a regular basis. For many players, that's perfect.

But it's actually been incredibly innovative. Proton has made Linux gaming a reality when it previously seemed impossible. Remote Play Together is basically wizardry. Steam Input is fucking brilliant and lightyears beyond other control customizations. These things are available to every Steam user gratis if you want them.

I'm glad my mom has skin and other organs.

I'm a doctor and I can tell it's right because there's no penis bone.

I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.

That's a genuine culture shock (compared to America at least). Is it true, is there a good source on this story?

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
