Do we know how big the file is?

Why does a flight simulator of all things need to be a live service game?

Salt often tastes different when added during cooking vs after

I think you might have some selection bias going on there if your job is to remove insect infestations from people's homes. Anyway Soma is a very story focused game so watching a playthrough is a valid alternative to playing it yourself.

Some more examples of the trope: the antagonists of the Scholomance books, and of The Interface Series

Well if I was doing it I probably would be trying to focus on browser emulation to avoid having to dig into those sorts of details. It sounds like OP is a beginner and needs a simple method.

IIRC it should be able to be made to work since it does everything a browser does, found this search result, though it has been a while since I used it myself at all. Another thing you might try that has worked for me is iMacros, that's a little simpler and more basic than Selenium but should work for what you say you want to do.

The reason to use Selenium is if the website you want to scrape uses javascript in a way that inhibits getting content without a full browser environment. BeautifulSoup is just a parser, it can't solve that problem.

Isn't that statistically what most twitch streamers do

I suspect games tinker with the formula behind the scenes, to accurately place people faster if nothing else. The more players the longer it could take for the skill of any one to show up in the numbers, so I bet they factor in other game specific metrics at least at first. There would be some risk of this being abused, but that's less if they keep it a secret and maybe the progress numbers shown to players aren't quite the same as the real numbers used to decide who to match them against.

I think a common conclusion in general, I dated a woman once whose mind went to that explanation constantly for all kinds of things and it was basically always a distorted picture of reality. I think people just don't get needed validation due mostly to arbitrary bullshit and the world sucking and that makes it easy to buy into toxic self hating memes.

Well I guess he will find out based on whether or not she ever contacts him again.

Really though this does seem like the kind of thing where "it's because you're sexually repulsive" only seems like the obvious explanation because of insecurity brainworms.
