Out of curiosity: did you partly use AI to make this list? Some of the short descriptions read very oddly for a forum post, e.g. the "various tracks" part on Lego Racers.

Maybe you could take some inspiration from Paper Mario TTYD. There are sections where you play as Peach, trapped in some place and are able to connect with some of the captors as well as send signals to Mario behind the big bad's back (IIRC).
For a completely different sense of being trapped, there is the upcoming game Ctrl.Alt.Deal, in which you play as a sentient AI system trapped in the guardrails of a company and have to manipulate people and the environment in order to break free from your constraints.
Hahahaha, I wish you were right.
In some games it's really bad. For example, people speedrun Pokémon Scarlet instead of Violet because Miraidon's jet engines lag the game more, costing them minutes over a full run (despite that fact that there are Violet exclusive shortcuts). Source
Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it's not just an "illegal in theory but nobody enforces it" kind of thing.
His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.
I would not underestimate how much of a draw "it looks cool" can have on people who are not tech savy at all. If you think about what drives new phone purchases, their major version upgrades always include lots of things that are nothing but eye-candy and those are often heavily featured in their promotion material.
If the goal is to get casual users to convert to Linux, I would argue that aesthetics is a lot more important than ANY talk about technical details, privacy, etc. If those users cared about those things, they would've switched already.
Now my bigger worry is that those users will bounce off before they manage to get their setup to look as (subjectively) cool as his.
We're dead center in the observable universe though.
I think the upper limits are mostly there for two reasons. To give the students a rough idea of what's expected in scope and also to protect the person from having to grade a 100 page thesis when they planned to grade a short essay.
That being said, there were a few times where they enforced strict page limits for us, but in those cases they would warn us about it explicitly multiple times.
I played it at gamescom last year. It was fun, but even in that short amount of time, some things started to feel a bit repetitive and I didn't like a few smaller design decisions.
That being said, I'll probably still buy it if the price is reasonable for what it is. And who knows, maybe they even polished out some of the gripes I had with it.
Sure! Here’s an expanded version of the fictional profile for Chris Whitmore, now including made-up family member names, relationships, and contact info — all entirely fictional and consistent with the character:
You forgot to remove that part of the LLM response....
It's not even only colloquial, it's the scientific term for it.
Edit: Even things that have nothing to do with machine learning or deep learning are AI. i.e. stupid rule based approaches (aka tons of if-else). Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which is a subset of AI.
At least you have to preemptively activate this. Would be much stronger against counterspells if you could hold it open until a coubterspell is cast and then make your spell uncounterable.
And even if it was more similar, as long as it's not just reposting someone else's post, we need more people to post stuff, not less.
