Absolutely LOVED the questionnaire aspect of okcupid. At one point I ran out of questions you could answer. Met some fantastic people using the app.

That's awesome of them! What's their best game? I'll buy a copy on Steam.

You can press the power button on the Deck while in the middle of a game and it'll suspend. Pick it up hours/days later and hit the power button and it'll instantly resume your game. I don't believe the Ally can do that.

Twitter’s response to a request for comment regarding its Boulder offices was an automatic email with a poop emoji. Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that this is the new auto-response for press inquiries.>

Wow!
