That depends... many games blocked in Germany on Steam also can't be activated in Germany.

Putting in a generic screen with similar measurements is generally almost impossible. Looks like replacement screens for that particular phone are still available on Aliexpress though, so you could use one of those.

I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments aren't especially funny or clever. I'd describe it more as "failed comedy" than "old-perv" vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.

The 90s and 00s had plenty of terrible cash-grab video games as well. Tons of cheaply made licensed movie games or basic platformers that could be finished in 30 minutes while costing 40 bucks. For every game like Deus Ex, you had 10 games like Antz Racing. For every Mario 64 you had a Bubsy 3d.

People will remember games like Elden Ring, BG3, Zelda TOTK and Mario Wonder from the 2020s, while quickly forgetting the cashgrabs.

Like the other comment says, "they" already exists in English.

So I'll answer for my own language, German, which actually doesn't have a gender-neutral pronoun for people. Personally, if people wanted to start using such a pronoun, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I also think, however, that this sort of language change can't be forced and if the majority of people don't want to use it, there's nothing to be done about it. So far, any attempts to establish such a thing were widely ignored, so I don't think there is much demand among the population to have one.

As a sidenote, it gets really awkward when German translators have to translate a non-binary person's pronouns into German. There is a scene in Star Trek Discovery where a character comes out as non-binary and in the German dub, they're using a combination of the English "they" and the German plural form to address them. Sounds extremely strange and stilted, most Germans were probably quite confused by that scene.

HeartGold and SoulSilver improved upon gen 2 in almost every way while staying faithful to the originals. For me those are the perfect Pokemon games.

If they had initially introduced a normal revenue share system like they're offering now, very few people would have complained. I find the notion that this was all a deliberate move from Unity rather silly. The only thing it achieved was serious damage to their reputation (which wasn't great in the first place).

Have you heard of the dark web? It’s the part of the internet that isn’t publicly accessible, not indexed.

No, that's the deep web.

Data on the internet can, and often will, get lost, paywall or not. And I don't see the issue in paying creators, who often also have to put a lot of money into making their videos. Seems preferable to having to rely on sponsorships and ad revenues.

Tax it. If corporations use it to replace employees, they should at least also have to contribute to the improvement of society.

Sure, Google Play has nothing to do with your Sim card.

I'll stay wired for the foreseeable future. Headphones I have to charge just seem like an extra inconvenience to me.
