That was what surprised me the most. The storefront that claims to buy games that won't ever break due to DRM doesn't have a Linux launcher.

It certainly didn't feel like it would have needed a bigger budget. I was actually worried that it would just be a good movie and not one filled with cheap laughs, which is what I came for. Thankfully, Tim Burton did it again!

It's a lot easier to design when the only payout are pixels on a screen.

Countries like Belgium and the Netherlands have already banned loot boxes and gacha systems

Did they really? I certainly know that the lootboxes aren't allowed here (rip my TF2 weapon paints), but I still could spend 10 euros on Genshin Impact, even if I had to use MasterCard.

I'm very intrigued. Could you please explain it? Even if you abandoned it, you still learned valuable knowledge.

Our teacher pulled up a video to demonstrate a certain gravity experiment. The whole class got to watch two consecutive, loud, annoying and UNSKIPPABLE 20 second ads.

Needless to say, it totally justified all of the time that I spent switching Invidous instances and updating NewPipe (or Tubular).

However, the rest of the video is great! Personally, I never really pondered much about my threat model, but I apparently follow the "privacy conscious" caricature to the dot. Not to be all "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear", but I doubt that my local three letter agency would be very interested in my Steam games and schoolwork. If I were to think otherwise, I wouldn't have my stuff in digital form, let alone connect it all to the internet. That's why I don't bother myself about my digital privacy more than that.
