That's not entirely accurate at all. I've yet to have a single title not work even if launched outside of steam (but added as a game within steam).

Just fyi, M. in French is only equivalent to Mr, it's short for Monsieur. Mme (short for Madame) is equivalent to Mrs, and Mlle (short for Mademoiselle) is equivalent to Miss/Ms.

So using M. for everyone is equivalent to saying Mr. for everyone.

I would normally be inclined to agree but this isn't one of those "omg I just had the most intelligent conversation with my 4-yo today".

It's clearly someone sharing their hobby/job with their niece, and what better way to do that than by including them in a practical aspect. It also literally says they "helped her as she's 4 years old".

You commenting is only bringing more attention to the post by increasing the comment count so maybe reevaluate your approach in the future if you're so against wholesome content.

Completely agree, having a memorable name is important but that doesn't mean the name should be a joke.

So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!

I haven't read the article OP linked but this CBS article I read mentioned that the case was essentially dropped as prosecutors didn't feel good about it, but after Duane "Keffe D" Davis started doing talk shows and released his book, they felt the case against him got strong enough to prosecute.

Good way to get the research more publicity, Elon once again proves he doesn't understand how to run a business.

Not quite the same as the current comments by Toto/Hamilton since the roles were a bit different (i.e.: Verstappen hadn't won a championship yet). And the Toto/Hamilton ones have been more direct. But yes, he's made similar comments. Their rivalry is not new and tbh I'm quite shocked anyone is surprised by any of this situation.

Just in recent years, he's made the following comments:

I remember some harsher ones but the current headlines keep coming up when I try to search for them, I'll have to give it another go when I'm back at my computer later (if I remember).

Thanks for all your work LJ, it's clear the value we get from having you be able to dedicate so much time to working on Sync. Love seeing so much improvement to an already great app.

I'm especially happy for the PipedLinkBot feature and profile overview.

Edit: now that the update has shown up on my end and I've tried the new features, I'd like to add that I slightly misunderstood what the PipedLinkBot would do, any chance we could have an option for those comments to be collapsed by default instead of hidden?

In my opinion, the biggest issue with pushing communities to Discord is that it traps the information within that platform and their search leaves a lot to be desired.

Discord is a good platform to build a community around a topic, however, more often than not, a lot of solutions to common problems become lost or hard to find for new players/users.

I mean, yeah, obviously the dev would rather people pay the subscription when some of the Ultra features require server work and/or continued costs (translation, OCR, etc.).

Developing Sync is his full time job, which is why it initially shipped without a lifetime tier. People voiced their opinion and the dev listened by adding the lifetime option and the ad free option. If you don't like the pricing, use a different app. Nobody is forcing you to use Sync. LJ doesn't owe you the app for free (or any price outside of what he feels is fair).

No, I'm pretty sure you're running into a much more obscure problem than you realize. I've never had a single password be forgetten, nor has any other person I know with a steam deck.

And when we are troubleshooting, we'll be searching "crackpipe _____"... I can definitely think of a few scenarios where that'll return very different results than expected.

I loved SCC, it was such a great show that didn't get the attention it deserved.

Pretty sure most of the world pronounces it "four-eva".

I don't really get how everyone focuses on the ad-free feature as if it's the only thing that Sync Ultra provides. It also provides text recognition in images, translation in-app, (both requiring constant server work) and will eventually support push notifications (again requiring server work). On top of that, LJ has stated he wants to work on this app full-time, which is only possible if he earns a living from it.

If those features aren't interesting to a user, there's always the one-time ad removal option (I'll admit which is a bit pricey but per OP's post, is a one time fee and not a subscription).

From the asbestos.com link someone else posted:

Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive cancer, but inhaling asbestos also multiplies a smoker’s risk of developing lung cancer fiftyfold or greater.

The carcinogenic risk of asbestos exposure and cigarette smoking is exponentially higher than the risk of each exposure added. This is known as the synergistic effect of asbestos exposure and smoking.

That's a bit disingenuous. I'm not absolving our agencies of the responsibility to work on increasing the safety of those held in detention but 17 deaths over 26 years is not equivalent to what's happening in the US where 23 people have died in ICE detention since October 2025 (source).

Tom Francis (the dev behind TBW and many other great games) posted videos throughout the dev cycle of the game on his YouTube channel. They're definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in game design/development.
