Thank you is always the right answer.
I would have completely missed the joke if that circle wasn’t there.
It made me happy, and then sad at myself for having to question if this was AI generated or not.
I have so little trust these days, I had to watch it 15 times through to confirm that there was visual consistency with the background objects and therefore the video is probably real.
It won by being a well-made, fun game. That’s really all there is. Exclusivity limits audience but it doesn’t affect quality.
I’m just going to say Nightcore.
I get that Nightcore has an audience, but what makes it annoying for me is when I am trying to search for an obscure song and think I’ve found it, only to realize that it’s yet another low-effort nightcore remix.
It’s normally standard to send mass emails using BCC to avoid someone using the Reply All button to spam up people’s inboxes.
Yeah, it’s hard to keep track after they quickly abandoned the numbered naming scheme after 2. And I think that was partly because people were confused anyways by the un-numbered prequel featuring the same setting and cast of characters, while the numbered sequel was almost entirely separate.
(Caveat: I have not played Double Exposure yet so I am not sure how directly connected it is to the first game) The titles are disconnected enough that anyone can basically just jump into the series with any title at any time, the only exception being the first game and Before the Storm, since they’re directly connected. I’ve heard it said that those two can still be appreciated in either release order or chronological order, but would probably be best served played one right after the other either way.
The only other connections I know of are:
Life is Strange 2 - A character from the original game and Before the Storm plays a minor role in the story, but context is not required to understand the plot.
Life is Strange: True Colors - A character from Before the Storm features prominently in the story, but context is also not required to understand the main plot. However, this character has a DLC story that I haven’t played, so I don’t know if that ties in more to Before the Storm than True Colors alone does.
The series is still decently popular, though the newest is the lowest rated one yet. There is also more than one developer involved. Here’s a short list of the main titles, developer, and other notes listed below for each:
Life is Strange (2015)
Life is Strange: Before the Storm (2017)
Life is Strange 2 (2018-2019)
Life is Strange: True Colors (2021)
Life is Strange: Double Exposure (2024)
To be honest, the UHC CEO was probably responsible for more loss of life than Al-Qaeda was.
Not the optional hardware survey, but they automatically collect other data just through usage of Steam and applications run through Steam.
They just get statistical data instead, then. I know some folks don’t care about companies knowing your activity and other telemetry data, but I’d probably still count that within the “bullshit around” exclusion criteria that OP defined.

The past is a good reference to learn from, but it can’t be a blueprint for the present. There are different circumstances between then and now which complicate things, like the aforementioned big money in politics.
As someone who has not played Silent Hill 2 and likely never will…what’s under the blanket?
It’s not so much people being worried about wasting it, as much as they’re worried about paying someone to continue fueling spirals of addiction. People can be homeless due to any number of different factors, so I hate to assume someone’s circumstances, but it’s impossible to know when giving cash is helping or making things worse.
My place of work is a nonprofit that coordinates with a variety of local social services, so I donate to those causes each year instead and help others connect to the resources they offer when I can.

It’s like how back when the Euro or the Pound were worth nearly 2x what the dollar was, a new device or piece of hardware would sell for $399/€399/£399.
I don’t know if this is related, but I once had an issue on Sync where I couldn’t load a post that others could.
