    There are people who raise crickets for pet lizards and such, so there's no reason why you couldn't. Just be careful not to let any escape their enclosure or your whole house will get infested.

    I haven't used the mobile version in a number of years. I used to use it to partition off my work email and limit the restrictions on my personal phone, but I haven't needed that in a long time so I can't give a good review of it anymore.

    The K9 mail app used to have a way to contain and limit the admin restrictions within the app specifically, but I'm not sure if that app still does since it has been bought by Mozilla and converted into Thunderbird. But it might be worth looking into.

    I knew a guy that was adamant that the government had bugged his phone and no amount of factory resets would get rid of it. He claimed he had to have a friend disassemble his phone and wipe a specific chip to get it to go away. He somehow got into the conspiracy theory that the Covid vaccines were intentionally killing people and that the government wanted to reduce the population by 30% for some "great reset." He was so delusional about "the government" being out to get him that he has now shut-down his business and moved off-grid somewhere.

    Spirit of the North is really good. It's separated into zones but rewards total exploration of each zone before moving on.

    This looks super cute and I hope it comes to platforms other than the switch.

    I have a similar situation with the books I read. My dreams will often be scenes from the books. Or thematically similar. I don't find they disrupt my sleep though. Does it happen if you play multiple games in the same day? If there are games that don't cause these dreams, maybe play those games last to sort of "reset"?

    There may be something you can do before bed to reset the fixation, though short of suggesting something like a meditation, I'm not sure what would work for you.

    I had a similar issue and had to reboot both the switch I was using as well as my modem/router. Sometimes just rebooting all the things is helpful.

    If they've always worked before and it's just this check now thinking your browser is the 'wrong' brand, you could try a user agent switcher. It tells the site your browser is a different one than it actually is. Might be able to fool that check.

    Also, are you keeping your Librewolf up to date with their updater? It doesn't update automatically.

    I'm not entirely sure I understand the question? Is this a genre or books I am unaware of? Or a particular narrative quirk? Can you explain what is meant by "unreliable narrator"?

    "Regulations are written in blood." Why do you have to keep learning the same lessons? It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong worse than water pouring onto the street.
