The original Peggle. There’s a free APK available on speedrun.com. Works flawlessly even on modern Android.

Oh but it is

Judging from the photo at least Intex seems to be doing quite well.

You know you can configure to not autoskip those segments, right? You can always skip manually, if it’s that kind of video.

I’m gonna just leave this link to the official speedrun.com asset page that may or may not have a freely available Android APK of the original Peggle Deluxe that works on modern devices.

Video games: A promising tool for inducing anxiety and depression

AFAIK the black hole in Interstellar is considered a fairly realistic representation (not SA* specifically though).

They even published a paper on it.

I didn’t, but now I do. Thanks, I guess.

Why not use winget or chocolatey instead? They allow for auto updates and have much wider library. Winget can even pull from msstore if necessary. There’s even a convenient WingetUI that consolidates them and others (winget, choco, scoop, npm, .net, pip, etc.) to a single app manager.

I have great news for you: check out Ferdium.

It was a Bored Ape event "ApeFest’ in November. They used harmful UV bulbs instead of regular black light for decoration.

Homeopathy was developed and thriving in an era when “do nothing” was better for the patient than contemporary accepted treatments.

I highly recommend PowerToys Run (something like Mac’s Spotlight) with Everything plugin (better search).

The heat death of the universe is technically a deadline, right?

I’ve been using that as a ringtone ever since Orange Box came out

This. Youtube is getting progressively more annoying (my train to switch on PC), but what pushed me was Dark Reader on mobile.

I worked in China for a couple years on a banking app for lending money. The middle class in large cities over there was interested only in social status. They would happily borrow insane amounts for the newest phones and biggest cars, when they couldn’t afford a dinner for their kids. I know that what we did was predatory and exploitative, and on a scale unimaginable on European markets. Our marketing predicted a collapse of the target social class in 5-7 years… That was 4 years ago.

I’m certain other (western) markets experience similar progression - and exploits.

You don’t need root for ReVanced. It can patch an APK from storage.
