You might be aware Chromeβ a browser made by an ad companyβ has been trying to claw back the limitations recently placed on ad networks by the death of third-party cookies, and added new features that gather and report data directly to ad networks. You'd know this because Chrome displayed a popup.
If you're a Firefox user, what you probably don't know is Firefox added this feature and *has already turned it on without asking you*
@Coehill I would like more information, please. What's your budget? Is there an abstract of what the project does and who it's for?
Marathon 2 has been free for a while but itβs nice seeing it available somewhere else too, and it has the XBLA graphics as a bonus free DLC

Roughly 4 months ago, my primary Vehicle - a recumbent e-trike - was stolen from my home. Because I have no income, I can't save up to replace it, and it sucks to not have reliable transportation without begging. Help? Maybe? https://gofund.me/f1442f7c
@benjedwards Andy mentioned Everett Kaser - I've heard of that guy before! One of DOS shareware's somewhat more prevalent names, still in business to this day selling updated versions of his logic puzzle games. That's a really cool connection.

@mattgrayyes this idea does remind me of a bot idea i had back in college, that'd reply to any tweet that mentions the name of a politician, with "source?"

re: videogame idea thoughts
@lizardsquid keys and doors does make me think of Super Pac-Man, so perhaps leaning into that would make it more interesting - you could go find the keys you need to unlock parts of the maze, or you could use one of your precious powerups to break down the doors instead of chasing the enemies.
