Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.

Banana bread is super easy to make. The only reason i don't make it more often is because it's basically cake in disguise.

Out of curiosity are any similar products actually good? My company uses Webex and frankly I'd rather use teams.

Probably should be noted that this is a tiny party in Japan....and also the dominant Liberal Democratic Party is not really what Americans would think of as liberal. It is a very conservative country.

I think they call them devops now.

Presumably because they are continually picking up new players from younger age groups while retaining many older players, but I don't really have any interest in those games so I don't know much about them. I'm not really seeing how this directly relates to my comment, either.

Or uh maybe old games are still good and it makes sense to provide an easy way for newer generations to play them? If a record label remasters a Beatles album do we get mad over that? Music doesn't have an expiration date so why should games?

Because social networks are only as good as the people who are on them.

If you want to roll your own with keepass that's fine, but most people will want a more comprehensive solution.

When you're spending $300M on a game budget you don't want to take a lot of risks. But I don't think there's any lack of creativity coming from the market as a whole. Most dire pronouncements on the state of games are only really true if you ignore indies.

Like honestly, I think GOW and Spider-Man and Horizon are fine, but I'd rather see Sony put out several AA games that take risks than crank out another sequel to those.

If you're paranoid about this, go buy a yubikey and use that to secure your device/access to your passkeys. Being able to secure your own data instead of relying on the admin who may or may not know what they're doing to secure the server is an advantage of passkeys.

It''s really up to the end device (and the user of said device) to decide how much security to put around the local keys. But importantly, it also requires access to the device the passkeys are stored on which is a second factor. And notably many of the implementations of it require biometrics to unlock.

The "one password" thing is also true of password managers, of course. One thing about having one master passphrase is that if you do not have to remember 50 of them, then you can make that passphrase better then you otherwise might, plus it should be unique, which prevents one of the most common attack vectors.
