I think it's a stretch to suggest _all_ are, I'm not sure I could believe that a game like Super Hexagon is political. Would it be political to paint the tree in your backyard, or to draw a picture of your cat?

The affiliate link could be 2x more expensive than other stores. I'd rather see the prices/pick a trusted retailer than just buy from something sketchy like Amazon. I'm probably out of touch here though, I don't watch Yo

_and_ touch type? I don't think touch typing is necessarily essential, surely the speed test is enough. I never learned to touch type but 100+ wpm is not a problem, or 120+ wpm if focusing.

Funny how 7 ping was phenomenal 25 years ago, but now it is the minimum expectation (in WEU). I expect my ping to always be 7 or less (in CS:GO). I don't play on MM servers if the ping is more than 10.

Back then you could just quit the server/match if somebody was obviously cheating (or they got banned). With competitive matchmaking cheaters can hold players hostage until the end of the match, as leaving incurs penalties and cooldown
