I'd imagine it's a way to sift normal users that might turn into power users, so they stay in Google's controlled environment. Or, since apparently Google can modify programs in the Play Store if they so desire, maybe it's a way to increase the chance the user will keep using approved backdoors/tojans/spywares. Either way, I can't recommend enough for people to use vanilla phones, and have some cheap, second hand one just for stuff you can't use without Google Play.

Afaik, it does work as a country, even if it's not formally one.
Not familiar with any, but in case the sticker creation system from Signal behaves like Telegram or Whatsapp, it is fairly simple to do it, specially stactic ones. Just convert the image to be within the expected canvas size (up to 512px on Telegram; don`t remember on Whatsapp) and in a format it accepts (png and webp usually do the trick). For animated stickers, it usually is a bit more cumbersome / complicated.
Can't give precise numbers, but at least that I can notice, despite greatly filtering what I check, there's enough stuff to make running out of stuff to check rather unlikely. Besides, as I started using RSS feeds a lot recently, mainly for federated platforms (not just Lemmy ones), and the reader I use can hide posts marked as read, it's being a struggle to lower the number of posts to read in comparison to the sum of posts automatically pulled during the set up of each link.
An AI is as good as its sources, and skimming through the domains from the posts, quite a few of those don't seem like very reliable ones.
Doesn't appear to have a RSS feed either, and doesn't seem like Nitter supports it. 😔
Or should be made available
Could, then, people here in the comments bring FOSS games from other sources too?
Just checked it.
For the empty spaces in the carousel, you could use this:
spoiler
gaming.amazon.com##a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]:upward(li[class="grid-carousel__slide"])
And the platform_specific_tag is what appears in their links when you open their pages and that, from what I can observe, is specific to where they activate in.
For example, in Jurassic World Evolution and Electrician Simulator, the tag is the epic/ part of the link.
For Overcooked 2 and The Outer Worlds, it's gog/.
And though it should work without the /, maybe better keep it, as the lack thereof may trigger false positives, like if Legacy of Kain for GOG is available, but you block legacy results in case you want nothing from Legacy Games, you won't see Legacy of Kain due to its name appearing in the link.
I usually go directly to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game so I'll need to check the all tab too.
Maybe this?
It's the filter that is the least dependent on div blocks' structure that I can think, and unless Amazon changes either (or both) their links format and how they list stuff, at most I think you'd need to change the code
gaming.amazon.com##a[href*="platform_specific_tag/"]:upward(div[class="tw-block"])
tw-block part every once in a while, as such bigger sites seem to change the divs' names some times.
Is your drive where you install games automatically mounted by the system? In case something changed in your system, does it have the same path as Steam expects it to? And is the drive a separated storage? And though it may sound like a stupid question, I think it's important to ask also, are you sure it's on the storage you think it is?
Playing Final Fantasy VI once more, now modded because I'd been curious about this mod for years.
Also, I know there's an English version of the mod, but why make it easier when it can be harder? e.e"
Regarding the mod itself, I get a feeling even normal enemies were made stronger, with how much I was getting "kicked in the spleen" (Paine: "...spleen?") during the tutorial boss. This will be fun.
Wasn't in the mood to play yesterday. But in exchange, was so much in the mood earlier today that I got to finish it twice (somehow), first with the secret character, and then with Marion, the girl in the screenshot. Great game, specially when you don't need to burn through the money ~~you were to buy dairy with~~, and glad I used a sturdier controller, else I'd be with a broken action button like with Celeste on the Switch. 😅
This game is hectic
Taking a screenshot was a challenge on its own. =P
Also the first boss here on Gunbird 2 took me a few too many tries, and I'm fairly sure I picked the easier difficulty. (chuckles) I'm in danger
Just got through the stage. Overall fun, but I might have a few colorful words about that spinning wheel near the end. e.e"
Also luckily I managed to save the electric state til the end. Made the boss far easier.
Unrelated, but changed the title format because I thought the previous one was too visually polluted. Hopefully it looks better now.
Bad pun is still bad. =P
And Gunbird 2 seems to play a bit better than the first game.
Loving how each new stage is an extension of the previous one.
Bad pun is bad. "<.<
ahem
Already finished the PS1 version (a.k.a. the original but emulated PC release) and the second PC version, but with the differences the two versions have, the overall lack in information on the game, and having had a good time in the previous playthroughs, I decided to play the versions I could reasonably get (so no arcade cabinets, thank you very much e.e") so I could get a good idea of what changes, and the next version I could find was one of the Gunbird 1 and 2 bundles for the PS2, specifically "Gunbird: Special Edition". It also serves as a break from Sonic, since I'd been playing too much of the franchise, and too much for anything is still too much.
Sonic Mega Collection Plus plays great, even more so as a commercial emulator. Kudos for Sega.
