No worries, it *can* be circumvented.

Nope, seems to be a silent regional restriction. Booked a quick flight to the US where I could redeem it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Soft sweetened bread? So it's a strawberry cake with cream? That's what we'd call it here.

Now I'm actually curious if it's like that in the original launch version, where some reported performance issuesโ€ฆ Could imagine this being one of the workarounds you could quickly patch in.

Makes me wonder if this is actually a bug with their render priority and/or an oversight. Or maybe someone thought it's a clever way to avoid ripples inside the waterfall?

Not sure about Apple, but I'm a huge fan of the claymation aesthetics of Teams.

But if it's 2D rounding I'd expect it to be happen in exclusive fullscreen, too! Or does the window size differ? What if the border downsizes the client area causing such issues? ๐Ÿค”

Makes me wonder if it's really just some rounding issue with UI components or whatever is supposed to draw there.

Huh, that's weird. Is that windowed fullscreen (i.e. cooperative fullscreen) or exclusive fullscreen? Windows can be a bit weird when handling window borders, but if it would be, you shouldn't be able to see the clear color around there! Maybe aspect ratio adjustments stumbling or texture bleeding?

In Germany the Game Boy was like 99DM, ignoring inflation etc. and using the Euro introductory exchange rate you'd end up at approx. 49,99โ‚ฌ today. The Lego set is 69,99โ‚ฌ. Although you can't ignore it comes bundled with two games, both together had the same price as the console itself. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'd still love to have both Lego NES and Game Boy but they're just so expensive dust catchers.

Also I'll just leave this image here:

Upload, Download, Cloud, Open, Bug (Report), Announcement, Server, Database, Player (or Gamepad). And I'd probably consider creating a standalone "Strikethrough"/"No" icon one can use as an overlay over all others rather than duplicating icons for that. Maybe also a "Cog" oder "Pen" overlay, too.

I still think it's one of the best more liberal video game adaptations that definitely has recognizable characters and is fun to watch the way it is.

I can totally imagine actual bot accounts using the same VPN exit node so they might have associated you with other accounts created/posting at the same time.
