    This part is still really strange to me. If I buy Google Play's listing of an app from the Epic Games Store, who gets a cut? Can Epic alter the price? Set their own sales? Does Epic mirror all the files and thus pay for the bandwidth costs for downloads and updates, or is it just more of a pointer to Google's servers?

    What's wrong with good old conservapedia? Oh right, it doesn't have AI. Always best to have inaccuracies put in to your knowledge base at random, on purpose.

    Something that seemed to help a lot was to have an all-caps outburst. And don't repeat yourself or the bot.

    Spoiler for the chess challenge

    Every time you lose/reset, they give you an additional Queen (replacing a pawn). I can't remember if I needed 3 or 4 Queens to win but I just cringed at how in my failed attempts the AI was able to have such great harmony with their pieces and slowly trapping my Queens while I couldn't piece together any kind of attack.

    Do you have a timestamp? I watched the beginning of the video again and didn't find that part. Maybe I missed it.

    They linked a video and I was expecting more - anything about Kirk directly - but nope. Just that and he mocks Trump's response to reporter and Fox morning show hosts about Kirk's death which was to basically ignore the question and talk about a ballroom they're building.

    Dance Gavin Dance - Nothing Shameful

    Most of the song is pretty straightforward relationship-y stuff. Lamenting that the person they love(d) doesn't return their feelings, or at least not with anywhere near the same intensity. 2 of the 3 harsh vocal verses are pretty much unrelated and utter nonsense. Honestly I like the music and the other lyrics enough that it's still my favourite song by them. I just have to turn off my language parser when the screaming starts.

    I must've killed that shit
    I shoulda stayed in Florida
    Too much I spent
    My shape got bent
    I'm just a corny cracker
    I spilled my beans
    'Cause I'm a fiend
    I lost my extra mustard

    Don't forget to clap for plants
    A napkin allergy, a skin graft treatment
    Tried out comedy, got ants in my pants
    Rolled out my linen, two bats, scrap

    I haven't listened to The Blue Nowhere yet either but personally I have a hard time getting into their older stuff, and like their newer stuff. The Proverbial Bellow and Voice of Trespass from Automata II are my favourites, but there are also a lot of cool songs on Colors II.

    Yeah it's the hardest by far.

    In general, don't skip any blinds except if you see the money $ one in ante 1. You need to see as many shops as possible.

    High Card / Pair builds are often the way to go in higher stakes because the lower discards (and on black deck, lower hands...) it's hard to reliably hit the better hands. Unfortunately Green Joker and Ride the Bus are weaker than normal.

    I know it's somewhat obvious, but don't take rentals early unless run-winningly good. Having your economy sapped will slowly kill you.
