If you're ever a parent, and you have one or more kids in school, and they engage in extracurricular activities - you'll be surprised how many amateur sports clubs and similar places communicate predominantly or even exclusively through Facebook.

Oh don't fucking get me started on the referendum. It was defeated by weaponised ignorance. An absolute disgrace.

A fair few Australians fly the flag in front of their house all year round.

The funny thing is that most languages in the world call Finland Finland or something adjacent (usually containing the syllable 'Fin-'), while it's 'Suomi' in Finnish. Only the Baltic states call it something similar to that.

Many people suffer from impostor syndrome to a degree. Many people make mistakes even when it comes to subject matters they are very familiar with. Everyone has technical problems every now and then - that's outside of your control. Technology is finicky and increasingly shit.

You'll always get people who think they know better than you, or could do something better than you. But they aren't. You are. You got where you are through your work and experience. As long you feel that you're prepared to the best of your ability and knowledge, I think your conscience can be clear.

You will never have everyone you meet like you. Some people are just basic shitheads, and some of them will write reviews like that precisely to gaslight you into doubting yourself and your abilities. They do it for kicks. If 95% of your reviews are positive, you're in a good place.

These people never walk back their bullshit. When called out on it, they will double down. When proven wrong, they will change the topic. But they need to be seen as strong, and right. Admitting that you're wrong or even apologising is neither - it's weak, and it can create doubt. If they were wrong about this, then what else are they wrong about?

They radicalise their followers with lies and falsehoods, and they can only keep that up if they are not seen as being wrong about what they say. They spread their lies with confidence and zeal, and if reality disagrees, then reality is wrong.

Last time I checked, on iOS it didn't have either.

Edit: just checked, the iOS version still doesn't have downloads and does not support casting to Chromecast.

You're not exactly making yourself look intelligent there, both with your original post and this reply.

If what you **said **- there's enough games with female leads; female leads are only fine as long as the game is good; female lead is bonus points for a good game; it's no longer special - isn't what you meant, then why didn't you say what you meant?

Roughly 50% of human beings are female. It's only fitting that around 50%0 of games have female leads. It doesn't need to be special, a female lead doesn't need to justify her existence. It should be commonplace.

It is surprisingly easy to not order things off of Amazon, too.

Then we also need to talk about Sodum, Potassum, Magnesum, Plutonum, Uranum, Cadmum, Chromum, Titanum and a bunch more. Why should Aluminum be the outlier?
