This always happens. The first pre-release screenshots are the ones with the most views so tend to appear at the top of Google searches. Guaranteeing them to be used in most news stories for years to come. Which gives them more views. Which gives them a higher Google rank. Etc...

I had all my best ideas stareing out of the window on long train or bus journeys. These days I'm constantly "entertained" by my phone so it's much harder to get into the same state of mind.

That's exactly how li-fi works https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-Fi

I think the way tags work is that steam shows the most commonly used tags. But you can still add your own. If enough people add a dwarf tag then eventually it'll start appearing as an option for other people.

The key difference between introverts and extroverts is that for introverts social interactions drain our mental energy while extroverts are energized by interactions.

When I'm learning a new language I like to try and solve problems from sites like https://adventofcode.com/ or https://projecteuler.net/ I find this gives my learning more of a focus. After you've done a few of these you should have enough confidence to attempt your own projects

It's not unusual to have multiple power cuts a day in Lagos. Anyone who can afford it has a generator

The infinite sum of all the natural numbers 1+2+3+... is a divergent series. But it can also be shown to be equivalent to -1/12. This result is actually used in quantum field theory.

Or alternatively Godot. IMHO it's a lot simpler to get basic stuff working. The editor can run on a much lower spec machine than unreal and GDscript is good stepping stone between scratch and languages like c#.

If you want impressive fantasy adventures then it doesn't get much more epic than "God Of War" which came out last year on pc.

Overcooked is good chaotic multiplayer. But they'd need to learn to cooperate which may be a problem

Most of the successful games moved to Mobile. In particular Miniclip is almost exclusively a mobile games company now and still makes games like 8 ball pool

I would add that if you're using Windows then you don't need a 3rd party anti virus as long as you keep Windows up to date. Many commercial anti virus programs behave more like malware than the things they're meant to protect you from

Love this version. I used to have it as a bonus track on the "digging in the dirt" single I think

The margins on even the most successful mobile games are surprisingly small. Once you take into account the cost of running the servers, code maintenance, customer service, platform fees and advertising the roi will typically be less than 10%... if you're lucky.

Finally the takeover drama is coming to an end
