That's why I just don't buy their games. I really enjoyed Far Cry 3 and would really like to get the rest of the series, but just can't put up with their account system even at discounted prices.

There is sea trek, https://www.sea-trek.com/ which is for people to walk underwater in swallow depths. Not tried it, but looks interesting.

Re:Effects of cat ownership on the gut microbiota of owners

We have the same here, I think a lot of cat owners who let their cats out don't appreciate the amount of downsides their neighbours have to deal with.

I thought all the rolling stock was owned by a different company to the ones running the actual franchises. Which is separate from controlling the timetable. Although very confusing.

I've found that, it took me a few times to switch over. But I've found that even when I can't find something on DuckDuckGo when I try use Google I don't find it either. I wonder if that is now because I haven't regularly used in a few years and Google isn't able to guess what I'm trying to look for.
Re:Ask HN: How many hours per day do you work?

For me it varies a lot, I think it's very easy to think you are working when you are not. But also easy to work and not realise it.
I think a lot about Joel Spolsky's post [1] on the subject. It depends on what you are doing but I think in software development you need to look at effectiveness rather than time spent.

What phone/browser are you using? Works ok on my Moto G5 with Firefox which does have problems crashing/reset on some websites but not sure why.

I really liked the breakdown in sections. Have been trying to get into Rust and use Bevy so great timing.
Working with Bevy is a challenge/interesting at the moment with the iteration/rework of key areas but enjoying it so far.

Where is the interview? Link is about history of Chris Sawyer's works but doesn't actually contain an interview. Still fascinating though, really enjoyed his games.
