I personally disagree that the original is best. It's high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

I'm a fan of the "piece swap" feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I've played.

Neovim is a rewrite of the vim project. From a high level (or from the perspective of a beginner to both), there's not much difference between the two. That is, basic usage will be the same regardless of which ones you choose. Like, the model philosophy and default key bindings are basically identical.

You start seeing major differences with more advanced usage and under the hood.

  • Neovim is built to support async processing, while Vim is entirely synchronous

  • Neovim offers native Language Server support while Vim requires plugins to do so. (Language Server Protocol is part of what makes VSCode so powerful)

  • Vim plugins are written with a custom script called "vimscript" while Neovim plugins are written in Lua but also supports vimscript.

There are more differences, but this should cover the basic differences. I haven't used neovim in an age, so I'm up for any corrections if anyone has any

As a software engineer, I can't speak about their actual implementation, but I can vouch that it's a technically sound response, as far as blocking malicious ads from executing code from your browser.

However, I don't know what headers or parameters are being sent with the request. It's possible that a malicious ad could still track you using that metadata, so heads up on that

A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.

Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn't cut short by Zaslav's budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there's a chance it's a good show

Yup 0.0.35, and the exact same set of issues.

It's just the first day or two, I couldn't go 10 minutes without crashing. Now it still crashes a couple times per day, but it lasts more like an hour or two

This is just my experience with Jerboa

Jerboa 0.0.35 upgraded automatically for me.

At first it was crashing frequently, but it seems to have gotten somewhat better. Hopefully it will continue to improve

I wish I could see the crash logs to actually get insight as to specifically why jorbia is crashing for me

Fugitive is a common git plugin for Vim. If you're not using vim, not much to check out. If you are, highly recommend it!

I deleted most of my comment because what i had written was basically nonsense.

The main point that i was going for is that "action adventure" isn't a useless category, since it's a hybrid of two separate genres.

You can have non-action adventure games. Something like A Short Hike comes to mind. It didn't need to turn/text based explicitly, but that's common.

You can also have action non-adventure games. You mentioned pong, but this could be anything that requires real time responses and control. Beat-em-ups are common.

Action-Adventures are hybrids of the two: real time inputs with discovery elements

Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, ~~but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term "action-adventure"~~ but they were often grouped together. You can think of it as "either or", rather than some weird neologism

[Edit: i can't back up the statement that they were merge by magazine writers, that's just where i first saw them merged]
