Scale is off as well. That axe is ant-size compared to the firewood in the foreground. Not to mention the fire hazard of starting a campfire so close to a stump, the lack of smoke, …

Customs terminals at airports: look at the camera with your glasses off, then follow the instructions.

I’ll make one exception for audio messages: the other person being in a situation where they cannot easily type the message, but it’s not an emergency. Hands full, driving, inclement weather, etc. I take it as an implicit “this message is important, but not drop-everything-else critical.”

ARPG: Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn.

Also consider the survivors/bullet hell kinds of games: Vampire Survivors, Soulstone Survivors, etc.

Well that looks like a tick, so it wasn’t a spider.

Also, reminds me of a classic story: https://quirogatranslated.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/the-feather-pillow/

Glassdoor is not reliable. Companies can pay to suppress negative comments.

Are there trusted impartial review sites?

They exist, but are very few - their articles get stolen by unscrupulous copycats, or the AI slop buries them in noise. It’s like panning for gold, but instead of a bubbling creek it’s sewage runoff. I hardly ever find trustworthy results on the first page any more, you got to go several pages deep until you stop seeing the “Top N <search term> you absolutely need to buy!” results.

Skellige in Witcher 3 (minus the monsters). I can’t not stop to take in the sights. And the music is *chef’s kiss*.

Not exactly “fan” theory since I hate that show, but Caillou is bald because has cancer, and he’s allowed to be a little shit because he’s dying.

The Fifth Element.

Well it wasn’t so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn’t paranoid, they just went “Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!”

Don’t skip the dialogue, even if you use subtitles and are a fast reader. It sometimes switches from one sentence at a time to whole chunks of dialogue and action getting skipped. Plus, the voice acting is superb, and the physical reactions of characters can convey a lot of emotion.

Apart from White Orchard, you shouldn’t need to complete all side quests in your area before moving on. Particularly with witcher gear, it’s sometimes expected to need to come back at a later time when you’re more powerful.

Others may disagree, but I don’t bother dismantling gear and weapons. I find it simpler to just sell things and buy materials I need from vendors.

You’re going to start a fight with the doas people.

Missing the -i.

Still not as bad as chmod -R 777.

Is a chicken egg an egg laid by a chicken, or an egg that if fertilized would hatch into a chicken?

Depends on the type of ad. The new ones that YouTube injects into the video stream would not be blockable. Everything else is blocked just fine.

same amount of effort

Physical effort, yes. Cognitive effort, no.

• Intros on a serial show are expected, and in some cases change subtly from one episode to another to provide additional entertainment value (eg the Simpsons intro). In other cases a change of intro sets the setting for the episode (eg Star Trek: Enterprise’s Storm Front episodes).
• YouTube ads are not related to the show, provide no contextual value, and in the case of interstitial ads are not even at a predictable time. They also tend to be inanely repetitive, showing the same ad over and over in consecutive videos. Contrast those to eg halftime ads at the Superbowl broadcasts, which have predictable timing, variety, and have a history of being (or trying to be) entertaining.
