I struggle to see how any game with combat can be cozy either. I prefer cozy games to be ones you can stop at any second (without even pausing) and come back to them later. Unfortunately many games that otherwise count as cozy to me fail the “fell asleep playing” test so I have to accept pausing at least to have enough games to play.

In Stardew Valley and Littlewood at least you have to go looking for combat but there is content unavailable unless you participate.

Since 2017 AKG has been owned by Samsung - I don’t think they are the same company they used to be and the quality and focus on quality have dropped, in my opinion.

Bitcoin are associated against addresses which are held in wallets. To transfer coins away from an address (i.e. to spend them or to sell them) you need to create a transaction on the blockchain - as part of doing this you need to “sign” the transaction with a private key associated with the address which holds the bitcoins.

In this case the guy doesn’t have an extra copy of his private key so cannot transfer the coins - he still “owns” them but cannot transact them. It’s like having gold bars locked in a safe but you can’t remember the combination - except the combination is so huge that the chances of guessing it are effectively zero.

Most people who hold more than a trivial amount of bitcoin will have backups of their private key or use mnemonics to remember it but in the early days when 8,000 bitcoins were worth pennies there was no real incentive or knowledge that it was a good idea to keep backups of the key.

I’ve cancelled this morning - I played so few of the included games that it’s probably cheaper to just buy them outright

It shows up for me (although I have already watched it if that changes how it works)

Sorry if it sounded like I don’t agree with you - I do!

Most professional jobs can’t be done from a couch without screwing your body or compromising your work space, etc. A laptop on your knees isn’t a professional work environment for most people.

Completely agree! It’s a privileged place to be in to have the room to dedicate to an office but I think it’s necessary to have that setup to work from home properly without screwing your body, if nothing else.

Sure, joining a call from the couch, bed, or toilet is a thing but it’s not something that is the entire day. I agree about having a better desk set up at home - I spent a lot of my own money making my home environment better.

Lost all credibility when it implied working from home is working from the “couch”. This is not what working from home means in a professional context. Dedicated working spaces with a desk, monitors, and a proper chair is working from home in a modern organisation.
