"how they want" That's what those marketing dollars are for. There is a practically infinite supply of free games, but somehow parasitic pay-to-win dark-pattern companies stay in business. "constantly productive" I

Don't, we're still in the just-discovered-beer-and-dont-know-my-limits stage of things. Better days (and much darker ones too) ahead. :)

I didn't see anything like that on their Wikipedia page. Perhaps you could share it here. I remember several years ago there were self-defense classes hosted by gay men, for other gay people in my city. Pre gay-marriage and post Matthe
