Eh, if the app charges you less for a direct payment, I think a sizeable number of people wouldn’t mind handing out their credit card.

The Verge actually has a very interesting take on this issue! The crux of the matter is that the order mentions both buttons and external links:

The ruling didn't say Apple has to allow other app stores, just that they need to allow developers to use other payment systems.

Tried it out and it's amazing. Must pick for a variety of reasons.

Tried it out for a few matches, and... My god, it’s must-pick if only for the QoL aspect. Not constantly getting locked into Sing or the slow from Discharge feels *amazing*, and it’s also great for denying Hex combos. Just emphasizes how much they need to tone down the CC in this game.

The bigger problem is the increased SpD, because she didn't need it at all

The problem with Safeguard was that Blissey had zero self sustain if you picked it... But now that it gives you a shield, it might be even better than SB.

How on earth is Blissey buffed before Garchomp gets properly buffed

The CEO is held to different standards than regular employees.

Probably a good move. Things are only going to get worse as the year goes on.

I’m enjoying the romanization of the katakana spelling of "hallelujah" haha

I know the bar is low, but a lot of companies respond with far less. Actually feigning concern and bringing in a third party is something (though obviously third parties can be fluff or detrimental to workers, too).

Very interested to see how Tales pans out. 

As a PS5 owner, Smart Delivery makes me so jealous. Almost as much as Quick Resume *cries in Returnal*

Eh, I’m far less impressed than you, John. Zero mention of accessibility and the line about getting people to exercise suggests that they missed the entire reason that so many people wanted/needed the increased radius. They didn’t specify what kinds of problems they were going to address better in the future, let…

Does anyone else think the environments look a little off? There’s this odd sterility to everything, making it look more like set dressing than an actual world. Not sure if it’s the art style or the lighting or something else entirely, but it feels kind of... cheap, maybe? Can’t really articulate it, but I don’t like…

This + AFK players are huge problems for this game. Even in ranked, I think 1/5 matches has someone on my team go AFK.

Loving the renaming, but if anything I think another FFA map is just earning more badwill (so to speak) from the Overwatch community lol

Here’s the prototype NES, for anyone else who's curious! I'm infinitely grateful they changed the controller, but the console itself is lovely (at least by 2021 design standards lol).

If you have a lot of anxiety, I highly recommend keeping it on while listening to other media! I’ve found that white noise behind whatever else I’m watching/listening to is really helpful when I’m having an anxiety attack or feeling particularly hypervigilant.
