The question is moot from both sides of the deal, but understanding why is important.

For something like a game, you will only ever pay approximately what you think a game is "worth". How you determine that value is entirely up to you and should be based on your own opinions and beliefs. Therefore, if you derive value from supporting niche developers, that's great for you and you should continue to do so as you wish. If you don't value that quite as much, then wait for a sale price that does.

Your individual decisions will not affect the decisions of publishers and developers.

Their decisions will take into account the total profit that they think a game can provide over its lifetime. This is determined by the initial price and sales as well as future discount prices and sales. The way they estimate the potential profit of a new project is based on past data. If they see most of their sales at launch time, they will price the game accordingly. If they see more revenue over time from sales, then they will price the game accordingly. As long as they continue to hit those goals, then they will continue making products for those audiences.

Therefore, the best way to support the projects you like is to buy the game when the price justifies the value to you. That is buy it whenever you want. The only way to not support (I am purposefully avoiding the word hurt) the publisher and developer is to pirate the games.

They usually aren't used to remove a bulk of the material. That is done with a chisel usually. They are very good at cleaning up the last surface and sneaking up on a perfect fit.

This joint would only be strong if the load was applied along long axis, but doesn't really offer any additional strength over just two flat surfaces in that direction.

In the direction perpendicular to the wide face, the joint is weak due to the direction of the grain in the short pieces. It would be a little stronger than a butt joint, but mostly due to the increased glue surface.

In the last direction, perpendicular to the narrow faces, the joint is nearly the same as a butt joint except it has more glue surface.

If you did want to join two boards with grain in these orientations (and assuming the two short pieces were longer in the direction perpendicular to the bench), then a mortise and tennon or half lap join would be recommended. You can use the router to cut both sides of the half lap, and it could cut the tennon. Without a router table with a good fence, I wouldn't recommend using it to cut a deep mortise.

Thanks, for reference, that's not a hand router. Hand routers are not electric. Look up stanley 71 for a common example.

What you have is standard electric router. There are also compact electric routers (sometimes called trim routers).

The cuts all look fine, but I'm wondering if you want feedback on the joint you made.

Can you link a picture of what your hand router looks like?

Being serious for a moment, do you want feedback or am I just clearly missing the joke?

No, because he was no longer the chancellor when he was fired from his position as a professor.

He had 2 jobs, chancellor and professor. He was previously fired from the role of chancellor. He has now been fired from his role as professor.

I think you're approach is generally correct, but you've made a few errors which make it hard to follow (e.g. mixing up suit and denomination).

However, method two is only more efficient if onky a few cards will be drawn. If nearly the entire deck is drawn or dealt, then 1 is superior. Method 1 can be done with two lists and a random number generator. The length of the 2 lists will always sum to 52 and the RNG is used to decide the order that cards are removed from the first list and added to the 2nd. It requires generating at most 51 random numbers.

Causing delays. It will be quick to count the ballots in rural, likely repubs, areas. It will take much longer in urban areas that are likely voting democratic. Eventually they will get a judge to rule that counting has to stop and that the current count will stand, too bad they only counted the rural areas completely.
