Right, I’ve seen Slickdeals and I think Bing eventually take that on over the years: on-mouse-hover shows the original link, temporarily, until you actually right-click and copy, at which point the evil reveals itself lol.

Hmm… now I wonder if a browser add-on could circumvent the right-click interaction and stealth-copy the originally displayed link… lol, it’s nuts how far into the weeds of privacy our guerrilla warfare has been getting.

Oh, that’s what you meant. But there’s nothing to suggest that death didn’t happen either way.

*childfree!

there’s historical value in the games as physical objects

I don’t understand; does this suddenly become untrue just because they are accessible by other means? Especially with what Sony’s been trying to pull as of late…

Wouldn’t it be better the other way around?

Why is there a second “No” after the first “Yes?”

Hey, I’ll take that over “a real fascist country”…

That app seems not as transparent as it could be since it doesnt give any detail on the removed stuff; I recommend URLCheck instead, which is fully transparent about all trackers and even lets you pick which ones to remove at will.

The harder ones to bypass are Facebook and Reddit share URLs, which give zero indicator of their destination; it seems impossible as the recipient of such a URL.

At least with bit.ly, one can add a + to the end of the URL and see data on it, including the original link (to then safely access without adding to its click counter).

Yeah, that’s certainly a patch. NewPipe, PipePipe, etc. all also remove ?si=.

Man, I totally forgot about that scene.

Fair, I think I’ve heard of that one, but never tried it. Thanks for the links!

Ooh, I really like “AutoVac!”

Exactly, agreed!

Wow, well, that nails in the coffin for sure; I can’t stand TBoI’s atmosphere (I just think the environment is disgusting lol), don’t really care about arena shooters much, and I typically hate action points which is why I could never tolerate anything remotely X-COM-like for long. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hmm… which would you recommend?

Dang, I thought about Atomic Heart… Good thing I never went for it, I guess.

Man, Anomaly had soooo many bugs that I just couldn’t get through even probably half of it (no idea of the length of the storyline). It had a lot of cool ideas but the execution even as of 1.5.x (can’t remember by now) just worsened the farther I went, particularly with NPC teammates who just stood there while I was under attack by factions who they themselves had okay relations with. There were several other issues that were so immersion-breaking that I couldn’t keep going.

I humbly disagree: worse still is a game that you started but abandoned because that’s how bad it was. Any game we haven’t tried yet is not definitively proven to be bad yet!

Eden’s action is soooo ridiculously lightning-fast that I feel like it’s only for actual speed runners… I can’t understand how people enjoyed the title. The artwork is great but man, combat starts and ends in seconds!
