    They also have Ente Auth, an alternative to authenticator apps like Google authenticator.

    I've been using it for a couple of months and it works great. Has a neat feature of showing you the upcoming authentication code when the current is near expiration.

    I've enjoyed the game so far, although it feels like one specific strategy is vastly superior to everything else. Hoping the addition of a couple of expansion packs will allow for other strategies to become viable.

    I was cautiously optimistic going in, but pleased to say i was very happy with the episode.
    I thought it served as a good re-introduction to many of the established characters and a couple of the recurring gags.
    As others have mentioned they leaned maybe a little to hard on the cancellation/reboot joke, though it didn't bother me, overall a solid first episode.

    I was especially impressed by the voice work. I found pretty much all the characters sounded very close, if not spot on, to the way i remembered them. The only glaring exception being Nixon whose voice seemed to lack a little bit of "oomph".

    I've been slowly working my way through the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.
    Currently on Reaper's Gale which is book 7 out of 10, so I've still go a ways to go. I started the series after finishing the released books in ASOIAF, and it has really scratched that itch for a highly interconnected story/world with multiple PoV characters.
