It sounds like you either didn't play enough or you are missing the new mechanics that get added over time. There's definitely more to it than just regular snake.

That is not a true statement.

Here's a good break down and explanation of what that number actually means - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB3WVygAM8I

This reminds me of the 2021 Secret Sky online music festival put on by Porter Robinson. The 2020 one was similar but the 2021 version had little human-like avatars. Some other people and me were messing around with the browser console to do things like change our accent colours or change the location text above our heads to whatever else we wanted.

FYI this website sets off a bunch of Bitdefender alerts as being a suspicious web page. I assume probably false positives or something but still something you might want to look into.

This comic is from 2011 but Only Connect made the change in 2010.

This is sortof like how Only Connect switched from using Greek letters to Egyptian hieroglyphs. I'm not sure if it was a joke or not but it was said that viewers complained that the Greek letters were "too pretentious" and obviously the hieroglyphs weren't.

They're talking about the movie Vice from 2018, not Vice the magazine.

I tried 22 old game EXEs I have and none of them worked. They would import and show the icon and some would open, but nothing would work and most wouldn't even close. They would either show various error messages when trying to open or just open in a broken/unusable state.

Something like this is used in some Discord servers. You can make a honeypot channel that bans anyone who posts in it, so if you do happen to get a spam bot that posts in every channel it effectively bans itself.

That was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was also thinking about that when I heard about this leak. This was the infamous Deadpool scene from it without the finished special effects, it's actually pretty interesting to see it this way.

> You shoud see a flat background with one large copy of the letter π floating a little above the background (closer to you).

To me these all look like they're reversed from what this says, like they're further away from me behind the flat part.

The linked original article has an update saying they will refund the charge.
