He’s the perfect size—they shouldn’t make YouTubers bigger than that

Yup. That is the tradoff. I’m willing to accept that one.

The appeal would be with a limited albeit large set of characters, items, & rules, you can have effectively an infinite set of outcomes due to the dice rolls of teammates but also champions/heroes chosen on team. It is almost impossible to see the same game twice unlike. There is skill expression & build mechanics that allow a player to outplay or recover matchups & adjust to the state of the game on the fly. With every game starting over at zero, you don’t get invested in building a specific character, but in mastering the gameplay which can go from micro mechanics to macro. I think a lot of folks liked it coincidentally at a time with better broadband for communications for this style of game, developers doing frequent patches to force meta shakeups & e-sports + streaming also taking off. But also a sunk cost fallacy of having invested the time to git gud not bothering to learn any game too similar.

I just had a nice cup of Thai white tea, which induced the opposite of rage 🍵

It’s not the standard tho. Every style guide says this is an error it with the optional exception of single-character capital letters …such as Oakland A’s.

The rage-inducing MOBA’s what? Real cliffhanger at the end of this meme.

I hate that I still fall for it year after year… I love pizza 😂

80 char line maximum? I read that as minimum. My bad.

Acronyms/intialism use capital letters to encode information about words. Losing that information is a mistake. SᴍᴀʟʟCᴀᴘCᴀsᴇ is now considered a best practice.

…Or I dunno try snake_case or kebab-case 🤷

I have an Xperia 5 III.

All the Sony Xperia phones consistently & eventually make it to LineageOS mainline (so LineageOS for microG support too), but these ROMs don’t tend to come until near then end of a device’s 2 year warranty. I would assume that this is when they get cheap/used enough that developers can get their hands on them. Sony provides all the tools to unlock so it isn’t difficult or locked behind some centralized server for unlock keys. However, the nice cameras the come with… well you need their proprietary app unfortunately or the camera becomes a plenty bad device with the default LineageOS software.

On the plus side you get to support the only brand still shipping flagships with microSD, a headphone jack, and the ability to unlock bootloader (bonus the the 5s are <6" screens which is rough to find smaller phones now). Google Pixels won’t get you a headphone jack or microSD & Asus Zenfones don’t have unlockable bootloaders.

Now do Microsoft.

Remove Microsoft Windows & slap on your favorite distro. Stop communicating with Microsoft Teams & Microsoft Outlook. Run a local LLM to remove ChatGPT. Switch to LibreOffice from Microsoft Office. Move your code away from Microsoft GitHub & Microsoft npm to Codeberg, Notabug, Radicle, Nest, Darcsden, Smederee, etc. …or self-host. Find a different cloud provider than Azure (or Amazon). Play games literally any way that doesn’t involve Xbox. And it shouldn’t have to be said, but deleted your LinkedIn account—it’s just spam.
