Ah, so the monobrow photo is after the security cam photos. How interesting that you tried to avoid telling me this the first time around.

I like that there's an option to play the original version now. My problem with Zelda remasters is that they're not always a great representation of the quality of the game at release. This is obviously not an issue for most people, but when I'm going back and playing Zelda games I missed at release I like to judge them on their original design because that's how I judged every other Zelda game I did play at release.

Ah yes, the "different nose" which is mostly obscured in the top photos and has a giant red circle covering it in the bottom photo.

The majority of their servers support port forwarding. "Only available on paid tiers" is a completely meaningless crticism, because a) you wouldn't use a free VPN for torrenting unless you were an absolute moron and b) very few VPNs support torrenting in the first place because it requires so many resources. If you want a good VPN with port forwarding, you need to pay for it. Nothing about this makes Proton VPN "fishy".

When was the bottom photo taken?

It’s a monarchy really

Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump's approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).

Yes, Proton VPN is a better option if you require that feature.

Yeah they are all interesting ideas that appeal to some kind of niche, but their inability to support them as a small company undercuts most of that. It is a problem for most manufacturers though, even relatively big ones like Motorola are quite poor when compared to the big three (with regards to software support) of Apple, Samsung and Google.

LineageOS support would definitely make me more interested in the Jelly Max. I have considered it a few times but there's just no way I could justify the purchase with the doubts I have over its long-term viability.

So if some actor complains about something deplorable, and then there is a huge manufactured fake backlash, is it always ok to write “The actor created controversy by…”?

It is objectively controversial. People were offended by the things Zegler said - the film was being relentlessly mocked online years before its release. The backlash to the film isn't just about it being Disney live action remake slop and you haven't been paying attention at all if you think this is the case.

Same here, it's part of the reason why I've never bothered to own a Sony or Microsoft console. Their first party titles are not radically different to anything I could play on my PC, and often I can actually play them on my PC with significantly better visuals/performance/input. Meanwhile, Nintendo is still puting out first party titles that are quite unique to their systems. It's actually so good that they've become a portable-focused company now because their systems and games have become the perfect accompaniments for PC gamers.
