The screen is plastic, instead of glass. Meaning it is very easy to scratch

It's actually a specially made glass that is thin and flexible https://www.schott.com/en-us/expertise/applications/schott-utg-in-foldable-displays. You might be thinking of the factory installed screen protectors on most (all?) foldable phones that is made of plastic.

I had a Galaxy ZFold 4 and there were lots of things I liked about it. The larger screen really does make a big difference for consuming content and looking at/signing documents. I ended up going back to a traditional style phone because I realized that I spent a lot of time thinking about general fragility of my phone in a way that I hadn't before. Cases are significantly more expensive and require adhesives to stay attached. I had a few in warranty repairs from debris in the hinge as well.

Is there a way to get to the most recent puzzle? When I go to app.pinones.io I always get redirected to https://app.pinones.io/puzzles/missing-epaulette

Seems like it's pretty much a coin flip. Also (to no one's surprise) you get a much better chance of them catching your murderer if you're white.

I'm similar as far as FPS games go. Titanfall 2 is a masterpiece, and I enjoyed Overwatch with some friends until the long series of baffling decisions from Blizzard that began slowly killing the game.

I never could get into MOBAs though. I played a handful of LOL, HOTS, and Smite games and it just felt like I either spent 30 minutes losing a game or won for a reason no one could comprehend.

Deadlock has been crack since I got my invite. It scratches the shooter itch, and found a way to make the MOBA mechanics more accessible to me.

In most cases

That's a pretty bold claim. Got any evidence for it?

I'm now trying to decide between starting Baldur's Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

I will say that you'll be doing a ton of turn based combat in BG3. But it's also one of the most well realized worlds I've ever played in.

I have friends who won't play any classic RPGs because they don't like turn based combat, but they love BG3.

If the idea of a sandbox filled with stories where you have tons of choice sounds interesting to you, I'd give it a try.

4070 about 200w, 6800 about 300w. AMD really has to fix that.

But if you compare cards from the same generation, like the 3070 and 6800, they're much closer. Nvidia still has the edge, but the 3070 TGP is 220W vs the 6800 at 250W.
