    Shouldn't they be legally liable for distributing malware??

    ...Also, Level Infinite's compensation is just 10 gacha pulls and 3,000 gems, along with some other in-game resources. Which is pretty paltry and insulting given the severity of this breach.

    I've seen bike nuts as a meme, so some people are definitely in on the joke.

    I couldn't find anything similar with Google's Gboard, at least once you turn off the profanity filter.

    The Spanish list is okay which makes sense since they're headquartered in California.

    Swipeblocked

    The iPhone keyboard carries a hidden list of thousands of phrases it will never suggest or let you swipe. Alongside slurs, sex and drugs, the list covers political slogans, historical events and public figures.

    Apple doesn't publish the list or say how it's chosen. This site decodes it from the keyboard's own data files, as of iOS 27.0.

    There are public build lists which you can easily grab in-game. They'll come with full guides on which items to buy and in what order. If you're familiar with MOBAs, the skill floor isn't bad.

    To learn characters, playing Street Brawl a few times is a good idea. Helps you experiment with low stakes!

    Long ways away, if ever. I wouldn't be shocked, but I'd be surprised considering this is being developed by Valve.
