    🤷‍♂️ if gaming helps to subsidize news coverage, that’s a good thing.

      The news coverage it’s subsidizing is… not always good. Article is a year old, but little has improved.

      Also as someone subscribed to both, the games are way cheaper. So it makes sense that more people can afford a continuous gaming subscription through them.

        so, Team Rocket is the Yakuza, and Silph Co. is Nintendo? that plot in the original games was a cry for help?

    The New York Times is fighting off Wordle look-alikes with copyright takedown notices

    I cancelled my NY Times puzzle subscription as soon as that happened.

      They copyrighted an idea? The hell? Is that even possible? I thought that’s a patent. Is Wordle patented?

    I really feel this lately. The news is shit. My anxiety has been high so I go straight to the NYT games app instead of scrolling through the front page.
