Generally happy with the way Affinity has been handling this. It sucks that they're attached to an AI-first company, but it really sounds like they're committed to keep their promise from a year ago.

Retracting my earlier statement. I have the app now and it looks to be a great thing they've pulled off here. Sounds like they're keeping their promises.
It requires a Canva account just like you needed a free Serif account to download it. Once it's installed, it looks like it's good to go.

As someone whose county literally switched from District 3 to District 1 today, it feels super shitty to see the same line used to combat gerrymandering turned around to argue *for* gerrymandering.
This is where we're at right now, I guess.

5. Spy Hunter - This game ate just about all my quarters at the bowling alley. The controls took some getting used to -- but it was rewarding to master. Couldn't get enough of the cool weapons, the difficulty ramp-up, and the scenery and weather changes.

4. Star Control II / The Ur-Quan Masters - Star Control II had an amazing soundtrack, vivid graphics, and tight gameplay. And spaceship PVP! In 1992! But best of all, it brought its crazy alien races to life with amazing dialogue and a great story. Definitely one of my all-time favorites!

3. Overwatch / Overwatch 2 - I've played this with a group of family and friends, just about every weekend since launch. Blizzard pairs great gameplay and a wide variety of hero skills with a fantastic comic-book art style with proactive community management. It's the only PVP game I really enjoy!

Also, customizing controls per hero could be better! Ability names are in the game. They could be linked here in the hero view.

2. Street Fighter Alpha 3. There's just so much I love about this game in particular. I was in Japan when it launched and I was amazed at how it put brand new spins on the art, music and gameplay systems of its predecessors. I love it so much that I've bought and re-bought this game countless times.

First on this list needs to be the Mass Effect series. I have only completed maybe five RPGs since I moved into this house, and Mass Effect comprises four of that list. I love the worldbuilding, the characters, the art style... the series just checks all the boxes for me.

Okay does this option do anything at all? I'm having to re-queue after every match now. This is not a thing I am good about remembering!
