Where does the King keep his armies? In his sleevies!

Assuming that's it's just the normal force of Earth's gravity at work on the witch, it's just a case of working Newton's second backwards with the gravitational "constant" acceleration ≈ 9.8 m/s²:

F = ma

980 N = m × 9.8 m/s²

980 / 9.8 = (m × 9.8) / 9.8, units omitted for text clarity

100 kg = m

In other words, op is assuming that an average size witch masses approximately 100kg (or about 220 lbs in fingers, knees, and toes units).

Enh, the tech space is very much innovate or die. So yeah, they could probably throw everything in maintenance mode and make a reduced headcount work, but if AWS goes stagnant it's entirely likely that Amazon goes the way of IBM and Motorol. Especially when someone (likely, Microsoft or Google) comes to take a slice of the AWS market share.

I don't know about a min length; setting a lenient lower bound means that any passwords in that space are going to be absolutely brute force-able (and because humans are lazy, there are almost certainly be passwords clustered around the minimum).

I very much agree with the rest though, it's unnerving when sites have a low max length. It almost feels like advertising that passwords aren't being hashed, and if that's the case there's a snowball's chance in hell that they're also salted. Really restrictive character sets also tell me that said site / company either has super old infra or doesn't know how to sanitize strings (or entirely likely both)...

Even further back if you think about the abominations of taxidermy that got passed off for merfolk and the like (Fiji mermaid)

I'm not sure if it counts as underground (it's been around for ages), but if you've never thought about how your shoelaces contribute to the overall fit and comfort of your shoe, I'd recommend giving Ian's shoelace site a visit.

This from the company that brought us AAAA games and needing to get more comfortable with not owning your games. I seem to have misplaced my tiny violin.

Yeah, probably. There is a village building/ upgrading component, but it doesn't have much of an impact on gameplay. It does get pretty tedious, especially if you're well versed in strategy. I mostly just figured I'd throw it out as a more casual one-shot to pick up on the cheap.

Infested Planet

RTS. Kind of reminds me of the ground comabt from Star Wars Empire at War crossed with Starship Troopers. Command a squad of space marines tasked with battling an overwhelming alien horde. Pretty fun campaign (if a bit of a predictable story), plus an endless mode. Not exceedingly difficult, but definitely challenging enough to make you think tactically and keep you on your strategic toes. Somewhat limited replayability makes the sticker price hard to recommend (unless your bread and butter is RTS), but it regularly goes on sale for less than $5, which it is absolutely worth!

The whole things just a massive labor of love from a relatively small indy studio. At one point it was an RPG Maker game that was delightfully well polished in terms of story, art, and environment. After the devs got tired to rpg maker limitations, they ported the whole thing to Unity and re-released it as a free Enhanced Edition update. Childhood me played the shit out of GBA Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and it very much scratches that JRPG itch.
