"Nest"
Observing the flocking birds from your window for years, you came to realize there was something very strange about them. Your parents, too, realized this, observing your behavior.

"Curse"
The Seer knelt by the flowers, withered echoes of life lost. Struggling against the cold wind, just like the Warrior before. The Old Gods do not forgive easily.

@AlanyG21 there's no easy answer but here's the flowchart:
1. if the game is dirt cheap, buy it on steam, because fixed paypal fees on itch take too much out of cheap games
2. if the game is not dirt cheap, buy it on itch, cause the dev gets way more. if you really wanna help, leave a nice tip cause itch lets you do that
3. if you buy the game on steam, directly for yourself, and leave a positive review, that can be more valuable than the extra revenue generated by an itch sale. so if you really want to support devs and keep your library of games mostly on steam always leave a positive review of indie games you buy there. the actual review text doesn't matter so just "good game π" is sufficient. but remember that reviews only count for metrics and store visibility if you buy directly on steam and its not a gift
Copilot decreases code quality leading to more reverts/refactoring.
Who could have seen this coming?

yeah okay no
PSA for all fedi admins; block "QQDownload" as a user agent
its specifically scraping statuses from accounts with pre-scraped account IDs, meaning they know what they're downloading
i have no idea what its about, one site says that its a p2p download manager, and another says its related to QQ, an instant messenger service from tencent
