It's lush! Since you asked for first experiences - the first puzzle I couldn't solve had the solution "contains green". Would have noped out so fast if I didn't suspect it had a mode for deuteranopes. And it does! But I had to dig.

shoot-em-up (no apostrophe) reads right for the 90s, but do people use that any more?

I remember thinking "oh that looks amazing, and exactly the two genres of game my son loves" and then my brain just erased it (despite loving tower defence mash-up Rock Of Ages for years๐Ÿคท). On it!!

Oh nice, that project is alive? I spent a while in the 90s obsessed with Sentinel, this has definitely awoken something.

If you have a laptop-internal mic (however crappy) do you get the same clicks when recording from that? That might narrow it down to the particular USB mic or something else that's hogging the USB.

Hats off. My wife brought home a battered 1kg bag from WHSmith late May, paid ยฃ10 and asked me if that was a good deal (and I thought it was!!)

It's super lazy isn't it. Of all the reason to emit carbon, making it the correct temperature for humans to function (or not die) seems quite important huh.

IMO most Brits will just roll their eyes and do it. It'll be any web site where you can post. But if they don't collect personal information (like Bluesky) they can only go on the IP to identify a UK user. So VPNs will get around it, for those who care enough.
