Fun fact: US has so weak food counterfeit laws and enforcement it has become the dumping ground for low quality oil or even mixed, making it an allergy hazard. If you haven't gone out of your way to ensure you are getting the real deal, and paid a premium for it, you probably have never tasted genuine extra virgin olive oil. https://www.mashed.com/281801/the-real-reason-your-olive-oil-is-probably-fake/

33 years ago. It has already been third of a century since 1990...

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.

The clarification on Xitter states deleting and reinstalling is 2 charges, the same as installing to 2 different devices. https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/1701679721027633280?s=20

Can't wait an indie developer to go bankrupt because the super secret algorithm counted updates as new installations and the developer gets billed multiple times for their whole player base.

So... If the Unity's secret spyware and algorithm suddenly decides to count an update as a new installation, you suddenly get slapped with a huge bill. Especially if you release multiple small patches and your whole player base is counted multiple times.

My interpretation was that setting the soundtrack is a minor tone choise, you're still going through the movie the GM has made for you. But if the GM is willing, the players may ignore or demolish all the plot points turning the planned Ocean's 11 to Fast and Furious, or Taken, or Top Gun, or Armageddon except the PCs are the meteorite. Or skip the whole movie and make up their own stage play musical set on the next town over.

EDIT: Everything devolving to Benny Hill still applies, unless there is an actual agreement of the tone everyone should try and uphold.

The GM has the power to present a heist, but unless the GM is really railroady, the players have the power to make it a ransom, a demolition job or just ignore everything and join the circus.

One shots, like the few Mörk Borg ones I have recently played, have a higher chance of people doing what the scenario expects, but when a character is given a trait that they only eat named things, the player starts asking and collecting every NPCs name.

For the search you need to know the instance someone is on, I have had the issue of knowing someone is using mastodon or compatible service and even their username, but not the inatance they're on because I don't know them personally.

The one largeish local instance that shut down recently had the covenant in the server description, until one day it wasn't and the server shut down in a month.

Switching servers leaves a lot behind. You can only force your followers to be switched to the new account and export and reimport your own follows. But everything you had posted gets left behind. You can download the whole archive for yourself, but can not currently republish it from the new account.

Still it's the best social media I have used this far and am expecting it became garbage in a few years now that it is getting popular, because they always do. But let's have fun while it lasts.

Except you need to choose an instance, can not find your frienda because they chose another one and after a few weeks you find out the admin of your instance is quitting if you didn't choose mastodon.social

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.
