Guild Wars 1 made its own little style called CORPG.

A competitive online role-playing game (CORPG) differs from the standard massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in that they are less focused on the massive group experience. All outside areas are instanced, meaning that a player and his group are the only ones there, so that every player gets his or her own unique version of the game's story without the headache of killstealers or people disrupting the fun.

In Guild Wars, as opposed to one of NCSoft's other offerings, like City of Heroes, a player might roam the countryside with a group of 1 to 11 other heroes. In an MMORPG like City of Heroes, the group would be surrounded by other similar groups, all wishing to kill the same mobs and achieve the same goals, at the same time, in the same space. Guild Wars eliminates this scramble, letting players take the game at their own pace while playing player versus environment.

The competitive aspect of the name derives from the player versus player, guild versus guild, and an international war called the War of Worlds. In many respects, the PvP version of the game is a very different experience from PvE, using different strategies and playing styles to battle human opponents instead of the computer AI. https://guildwars.fandom.com/wiki/Competitive_online_role-playing_game

What's the source of those videos? How could making the slow down mandatory not be more efficient at slowing them down?

Slowing down traffic will motivate more people to use public transport.

It could be a temporary hot fix to pass some issue in production, but could break other things if left longer. So better to revert it after the big issue had passed and take more time to work on a proper solution.

Right, forgot to include it.

You should be able to prevent your device from adding the location to your photos. I never felt the need to have it, given the date and the photos around, it is easy to remember where it was.

Bienvenue ! C'est l'avantage d'être trop petit pour être une cible intéressante.

It was successful on other primates, the chance that it will work exactly the same on humans is very high and worth the headline.

This how medical studies work, because of ethics. First they prove it works on animals, which they did with great success. But before testing it works on humans, they must first confirm it is not dangerous, before they can ethically test for actual efficacy on a larger cohort.

There are attacks in every country, but I don't think there is any developed country where they managed to influence the state as much as in the USA.

The big point of this one is that it is not hormonal, and so far this study shows no side effects. So for a couple, it could be the pill with least side effects overall.

Because this seems more invasive and according to the article, it was not yet peer reviewed.
Every solution will have a different balance of risks and benefits, more choice is good.

My plums [OC] (infosec.pub)
 

Despite pre-cooking the plums with butter and sugar, they were still a bit too sour.
