I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.

You'd save it to the database in the same field as the rest of the text. You don't store the positions or anything like that - you'd store the text with HTML and have the front end render it as expected.

For instance, the database could have the following text:

Hello <strong>World</strong>

And the front end just renders HTML.

Alternatively, you could store Markdown syntax if you're hesitant to allow HTML.

EDIT: as always, if you store raw HTML, don't forget to sanitize it.

4!? Since when was there a Jurassic World 2 and 3? Did they not do any promotions of them or something or do I live under a rock?

Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?

That's not a money reason or a store related reason. That's really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I'm waiting till it's on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

I really hope that was a typo and they meant AND a payment of $15k because someone who posted $200k bail shouldn't have a problem finding $15k to get out of a murder charge.

How else is it pronounced?

Do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan.

The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines

I disagree. The funniest example of Trump never admitting he's wrong is definitely the Four Seasons Landscaping press release.

In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.

US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.
