    I don't know the details here. But if it really wasn't possible to play the game in those non-PSN regions, I can see Steam wanting to delist the game. Steam sells games that work. If a game that is not playable (for whatever reason) is available for sale, that delegitimizes their platform.

    The title makes me think it's a kids movie. I don't know exactly why that is, beyond having a similar name to the game Fall Guys which was kind of aimed at kids.

    (Android) I find myself accidentally hitting the scroll-to-top button when viewing a post's comments. I guess I find the center location and the logic of it appearing after I've scrolled up two times to be unintuitive. I just tend to scroll up and down small amounts while browsing and am not expecting a button to appear there. Maybe it's something I'll get used to though.

    It's definitely tough to strike the balance between downsizing aggressively enough to avoid hoarding and not having to re-buy a cable/device that you threw away at some point. There have been at least a couple times when I've thought something like "there's no way I'll need three extra USB-A to micro-USB cables, especially not when things are moving to USB-C" and got burned later. I try to prioritize buying only devices that can use USB-C at this point, but even that is not always possible, ex. I couldn't find any budget USB-C bike lights that fit the bill recently.

    I really don't know what the answer is.

    How do you even respond to this? If he wasn't extremely wealthy, he would be completely ignored.

    This is a good point. They're framing the issue as if the only people who deserve social support are people who are unable to fill out the forms which would enable social support. A self-contradictory standard by design.

    The lack of inventory is definitely appealing to me. I tend to bounce off of any games that involve significant menu-based inventory management, including most survival and crafting games, just because I find that aspect very tedious. And I've been wanting to try a factory-building game too, but didn't even consider the inventory aspect of them. If Hydroneer's inventory is handled in a different, more diegetic way, that sounds great.
