I see you've read Dune

I think a legitimate concern for that one is what do you define as a disability worth terminating the baby's life for. Some would likely abuse it for eugenics.

Heard some people at my work complain about a change enacted 5 or so years ago. They blamed Obama.

Oof. Skyward Sword is probably the worst of the 3D Zeldas, but it was surprisingly solid. That said, you may still be right, although mostly because it's such a solid series. The 25th anniversary orchestral CD they did with it was fantastic, though.

Unless you consider Ace Combat an FPS, the 3DS doesn't really have any of them that I know of. You'd be better off playing the old DS ones. If you count Homebrew, your options expand a lot. Doom and Quake play wonderfully on the New3DS with the C nub.

As far as my favorite games on it: wow, there are so many. Shin Megami Tensei IV (and Apocalypse), Fire Emblem Birthright, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokémon, Monster Hunter 4U. The list goes on.

The organization and typical submission requirements are what really put them over public trackers for me.

Public tracker: It's this big and this many files. Figure it out.*
Private tracker: All the metadata

* Experience may vary. Post is overly dramatic for comedic effect

Contrary to my usual tendencies, I was not a patient gamer with Survivor. I got it on PS5 the week it released, if I remember correctly. The performance issues were surprising (although actually still better on release than Fallen Order was), but other than that the game was an improvement for me in every way. Once a few patches came out improving stability, it completely superseded the original.

Edit: And I'm glad to hear it runs well enough on PC now; once I upgrade my GPU I may watch for a sale and double dip.

Had to do a deep dive into this group for my father once and came to the conclusion that they diverged greatly from the type of music I enjoy once they added that Fred Durst sounding mf to the band permanently. Their general sound is fantastic, though.

Nice. I forgot about Federation Force (mostly I just remember the controversy with it not being what fans expected or something), but I have never heard of either of the others. I will have to look into them.

The 3DS has such a wide range of genres (although it is heavily biased toward RPGs and Platformers) that I'm not surprised there are more than one FPS for it. Wasn't there one called Ironfall? Or was that one was 3rd person?

Closest I have heard of is Greenville, and its surrounding area is definitely red.

This NBC link on the 2020 presidential election is somewhat surprising, though. Maybe the US Senate results, as they narrow that potential blue bubble down to either Richland county or tiny Allendale.

Looking at some screenshots, that may have been Dementium Remastered as mentioned above by SturgiesYrFase. I'm not sure if it got a demo, and I hadn't heard of it until about an hour ago, but it's a guess.

I just started playing that last year after meaning to for many years (doesn't help that I only got into 2D Zelda like 5 years ago). It's super fun. I still haven't finished it, though. Got stuck at one part or another and haven't gotten back to it yet.

Essentially, fewer is normally used for discrete numbers of things (e.g. "fewer apples", "fewer boats", or "fewer cops") while less is used for amounts (e.g. "less water", "less sand", or "less money").

As noted in the above link, there are exceptions. However, the exceptions listed are all with "than" or "or" added. Specifically, it's pointing put that while "fewer items" is correct, "3 items or less" is also considered correct.

In the case of the sign, it is referring to the specific number of officers in the city, so it should use "fewer". Does it matter? No, not really. Why did I bother saying anything? I got a chance to rep grammar and quote Stannis Baratheon at the same time.

Making friends on sites like this can sometimes yield invites. There are also usually communities specifically dedicated to giving out invites. And if all else fails, some trackers have open invitations (either time-limited or with some kind of interview).

A common method is to get your feet wet with an easier to get into private tracker and use the invitation threads in it to get into the ones you want.
