Echoing this, it's a fantastic game for what it is. The author also just finished funding a Kickstarter for a "Junior" version of the game as well.

Why not both? My QMK mechanical keyboards (and, I just noticed, Karabiner Elements) can support turning Caps Lock into Ctrl+KEY if pressed with something else, and ESC if pressed by itself. Best of all possible worlds.

MTG Arena, their latest online effort, also has a "learn to play" mechanism built in.

It's also available in ZACH-LIKE [0], a free compilation of a bunch of his earlier flash games. Windows-only, however.

Remove the comma before the SELECT?

They'll hold off on hardware announcements until they can ship them with macOS 12 already on them. Why would they announce new hardware that you'd have to do a full OS upgrade on in a few months?

A sequel implies some sort of continued story or major overhaul, not what would be 1.99 DLC in this day and age.

Not sure about the team bits, but Worms in the 2000s was basically ultra-DLC before DLC even existed. Every 'new' game for a long time kept the vast majority of the old bits from the previous games, added a few new items, and charged full retail for the privilege.

It's amazing, but at the same time it's OOP with a reprint anytime soon being unlikely. It would probably be very easy to rig up a print-and-play copy however.

Couldn't you simply stipulate in your ToS that if you reside in that area that you are not allowed to use said service?

Probably an honest mistake considering it's GitHub's 'dmca' repo.

I've seen it both ways- "Divide four by two" is equivalent to "Divide two into four" in my experience.

We experienced similar to this at our company. When my coworker and I first arrived, the prior engineers had built the system as a set of microservices but it was completely overarchitected. Our first act was to pull all the parts together into one application.
Now that it's grown, we're starting to look at the microservice approach again, but it's been almost four years since we pulled everything together so it makes much more sense given the load/functionality we have now relative to then.
