The wildest thing about this is that these (usually affluent) people could quite literally throw $10 at the site, keep their adblock on, and then probably have donated more directly than the ad-platform EVER would have generated off of them.

This is the most wild thing to me.
If Biden announced the most simple of measures like opening abortion clinics on federal grounds in hostile states (not saying this is the only thing, just the first thing that came to mind) I'd probably vote for him, but that requires him, you know, ACTUALLY FUCKING DOING THE HARM REDUCTION.
FYI 3U servers have not gone down on Wii U (I played hours ago) and I'd be down to play it if you're interested sometime soon before the April 8th Nintendo network shutdown on Wii U (Pretendo + other work will hopefully replace it after that)
This offer also stands for MHG, MHDos, MHFU/2G, and 4U

I guess I should have said mainstream appeal in the Minecraft sort of way.
Valheim/Terraria are large, but Palworld is looking at its current trajectory to be fighting with the giants.
Outside of quest-driven modded minecraft I agree with you. When I play MC it either has to be with an explicit creative building goal or a hands-held progress-through-this-tech-modpack (I still fool around with GT:NH regularly).
I've also accepted that maybe my interests are just not the target market for the survival genre and there's something there that I'm never going to "get."
I also think the pokemon aesthetics are enough to take a generally non-mainstream genre (survival-crafting) and blast it to a broader audience. If I had to guess the recent popularity of Lego Fortnite introducing younger gamers to the survival genre was probably also instrumental in prepping them for a game like this mechanically- now it's just got the aesthetics of another franchise that younger players have current interest in (pokemon) and older players have nostalgia for.
I don't get this game, can someone explain what the hype is about? The very little I saw of it looked like just another mediocre survival game, but with a twist.
For reasons I don't exactly understand among survival players this is basically enough to make it in the survival genre so long as the twist is novel enough, and I guess ark's dinosaur capturing and Palworld's creature capturing is enough to propel them forward.
I personally think the game just feels bad/janky to play and is a worse mashup of other games it's taking inspiration from (notably: pokemon, satisfactory/factorio, botw/totk, Valheim).
Their previous game Craftopia also struck me as a "what if all these other games' mechanics but worse than any of them individually" as well.
The branding of the game (the edginess) is what made it go viral and the pokemon aesthetics is what got people to try an ark-like game who wouldn't have otherwise is my best analysis of why it blew up so quickly.
I personally think that Cobblemon is a more coherent mix of pokemon and minecraft than Pixelmon and figured it was worth sharing here.
It's substantially newer than Pixelmon and seeks to visually merge with the minecraft aesthetic instead of the pixelmon 3ds-like model approach
I think you're really fine here for taking most of this. Orcs Must Die and its sequels are all relatively like F:STW and I didn't see anyone draw any parallels between the two from even a casual "gee these sure share a lot of similarities" perspective. Granted it's been a while since I've played Orcs Must Die, but from what I've seen from STW they definitely seem to share a lot of ideas between them.
So long as you aren't taking some patented system (like the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor) I really think you can basically make an exact mechanical clone without any legal team really biting. In Epic's specific case look at their acquisition of Fall Guys and the popularity of something like Stumble Guys and the lack of legal action there.

Qbittorrent for your client. Make sure to go into settings, advanced, and then set the network interface to the one created by your VPN client.
This is better than a simple killswitch setup because there's no opportunity for connection failover to your real ip if the vpn connection breaks for whatever reason. If the VPN client isnt running in this setup no data in and no data out (no leaks).
