    Since interesting suggestions here, also your mention of backpack heroes reminded me of Backpack Battles.

    Hello, due to some unfortunately circumstances I need to have my left hand in a cast for some time and I'm looking for recommendations for games I could play only using my right hand (so only using the mouse). I have a few in my library that I've already been playing like Super Auto Pets and Let's Revolution, but I'm a bit bored of them. I also tried a tower defense game called Super Sanctuam TD, which was in my library, so I've tried looking for some other TD games but couldn't find anything that caught my eye.

    Edit: I only listed what I've played recently, but I don't really want to limit myself to any genre, the only requirement is to be playable only with the mouse.

    I think they mentioned he owns the rights to Cold take and in that case it should be returning, but with a "fresh coat of paint".

    This is completely absurd... I watched this and while it's a good movie, I definitely was drained from the whole experience because of its length. I believe an intermission would've allowed me to enjoy the movie much more.

    I also saw Oppemheimer and enjoyed, but have the same opinion about its length.

    I take what you've quoted to mean that people you invite don't know who invited them.

    I guess the proper term would be rugs now that I think about it. A really big rug.

    Ever since moving out I've always lived somewhere without carpets, but honestly I wouldn't think I would wash it that often if at all, however it's just me and my girlfriend living together so I imagine it wouldn't get incredibly dirty.

    My parents have a few carpets and over the years I've helped them with "washing" which would mean removing them and taking them to a cleaning service. Hardest parts was lifting all the furniture to remove the carpets.

    Here in Bulgaria we say "Честита прическа", which means "Congratulations on your haircut". When I went abroad and had the urge to congratulate one of my foreign friends I realised that's not universal and it got me thinking where else is it done - now I know thanks for sharing.

    I know some German and when he said it's literally "Sunday emptiness", but the word not having Sontag in it, I knew something was up.

    On the topic of "words that don't exist", every time German is brought up (or any other language where you just mash words together to get a new one) I kinda roll my eyes. Sure, it's ot one word in English, but that's mainly because of the way the language works.

    Amazing story, thanks for sharing. The most incredible thing for me was reading all that and then the last paragraph starts with "then she turned 18". Crazy teenagers in France at that time.

    I am the same. Often I would want to browse Tildes but I'm just not used to a Web browser being the thing I use for browsing a "news aggregator" on my phone - I always use a dedicated app. However I fully agree that the UI of the site is perfectly usable on mobile (of course there is place for improvement, but there would always be), so really what I personally need is just a different icon, that's dedicated to Tildes on my phone and a PWA would be able to do that.

    Thay being said I would instantly install the alpha as soon as I know it's here. I've been a RIF user since I've had a phone that can install it.

    Thank you for the linked article, I've felt something similar and always thought that, as you say, if something is important enough and if it will affect me I would know about it regardless of me following the news. I still do occasionally read some news, but it's more like following a topic or finding more information about something that I already know about.

    I played a decent amount of Apex when it came out and I really relate to what you're saying. Specifically for the tag system I remember being in awe at both its ease of use and how comprehensive it was. I felt like the tag system made voice comes pretty much obsolete, but it did take a lot of getting used to. They did a very good job with the way you can communicate with your teammates.
