I got the pixel 8 at release, had to return it because the wireless charging stopped working. I was lucky to have a shitty old phone around and their customer service was pretty good about it. Considered as a teething problem, but then a month ago I had the same issue and this time they were horrible to deal with. Finally got a replacement, opened it to check it was all there and traded it in for a discount on a Samsung. The customer service in the chat on the second occasion was trying to tell me I needed the original invoice the second to prove it was still in warranty, I was like 1. You guys sent me this replacement phone and 2. It hasn't been available long enough to be out of warranty. When I asked for them to escalate the chat, they just ended it.

In a hate speech case with the Australian government, they are literally arguing they should have more time to comply with the subpoena, because it was originally lodged against Twitter, so "x" didn't get served as long ago

I kinda assumed this was part of their plan. Rope along some Republicans who are too moderate(?) for Trump, then ditch at the last minute and tell them they have to vote for Trump now. Gives less chance that they'll have time to sway to Dems or other 3rd party candidates

In the first one, you could drop in and out of each other's games and you would share progress on relevant missions. In number 2 you would join one players game, only they would get credit for any progress and it tethered you together. So although technically co-op, it was a significant downgrade from the first game and didn't lend itself to the open world nature of the game, more like being player 2.

I have a co-op buddy too and heaps of good suggestions from others here. Two that I've been enjoying as 2 person co-op:

Wartales: started this after completing BG3 and it was a real interesting change in thinking. This is fantasy party adventure, but you run a team of mercenaries, so it's more about the team build and strategy, rather than the specific character focus that you have in BG3.

The Wild Eight: an isometric survival, crafting, set in a plane crash in the snow. Some story, discovery elements included.

But not 2, because the sequel doesn't have true co-op
