    I will defend Mario + Rabbids and Immortals: Fenyx Rising to my dying breath

    Unfortunate about the cancelled Immortals sequel.

    An update in the last year added a "feature" where, when I search something, if my query is even vaguely close to the name of an app on my phone, Android will open that app instead of doing my search. I, for the life of me, haven't been able to figure out how to disable it. That alone made me hate Android.

    Off the top of my head, not counting the plethora of gift cards:

    • A first edition Kindle Fire a month after it released. For being tech-illiterate, she ended up loving it and upgraded a few times through the years.

    • Several Roku boxes and Fire TV sticks, which are just now getting used because my parents are finally cutting the cord.

    • Lots of concert tickets for various bands, including Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Kiss.

    • 1-week all expenses paid trip to Nashville for some big New Year's party that some celebs showed up to.

    • $600 cowboy boots.

    • $300 KitchenAid mixer.

    • A full set of Paula Dean cookware, and she LOVES Paula Dean.

    When BotW first released, as soon as I got the paraglider, I thought to myself "If this game is truly fully open world, I'm going to try to get the Master Sword before doing anymore of the main quest".

    The forest was literally the last area of the map that I went, haha.

    Over the last several years, WoW has been getting some secrets that have taken months, sometimes over a year to be completely solved. There is a Discord server dedicated to solving them, and it's hit the max member limit a few times.

    Although, most of the secrets have just the slightest hint that they even exist.

    He donated $3.1 million to his alma mater here in my city, and it was enough for the university to establish an animal studies program.

    In 2018, someone maintaining a ROM site was ordered to pay Nintendo $12 million.

    In late 2021, someone was sentenced to 10 years of prison and to pay Nintendo $14.5 million. That person got out on good behavior last April, but 25-30% of their wages are going to be garnished until their debt to Nintendo is paid off - which will likely take the rest of their life.

    Is there even anything new here? Everything mentioned in the OP link has been a thing on Reddit in a few communities for a couple of years now.

    Edit: I just checked Wayback Machine, this page hasn't changed since it was first published in 2021.

    Small correction: They're Arbitrum Nova tokens, not ETH tokens anymore.

    Greatly saves on gas fees, but Arbitrum Nova has narrower support.

    Kraken just added support for Moons and Bricks, so the methods of cashing out are becoming easier.

    I realize that I'm in the great minority of Redditors with what I learned, but my experience modding on Reddit was enough to land me a job as a social media manager for a tech company, and I've worked my way up to director of communications from that. So, I learned actual career skills from Reddit.
