Don't know where this "writers' site" crap came from but it sure as hell isn't in the prospectus.

The Best of The Week

Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams is a PC videogame that simulates the full experience of doing a jigsaw puzzle. There are many websites and games for the purpose of doing jigsaw puzzles -- what makes this one unique is that it renders the puzzle on a table in a room, and you can customize everything about the room; the materials and colors of the table, the walls, the furniture; you have a kitchen, a couch, a bedroom. The graphics are gorgeous with Unreal Engine 5 and it runs on under a gigabyte or RAM. What's more -- once you complete the puzzle, you can hang it on the walls anywhere in the room. You can put it above the stove, on the wall of the bedroom, etc. and you can adjust the size as you see fit. Furthermore, you can set the game up so that it runs a timer in the background, and tells you how much time it took you to complete the puzzle.

Everything has physics -- each piece, the preview image, the puzzle. You can drag it around, it can collide with other pieces, it can go tumbling off

YouTube Shorts are a format on YouTube, showing short content. Originally under one minute in length, the current time limit of a short is 3 minutes. These numbers are liable to change and might not be current at the time of reading. Shorts are also shown in a "portrait" orientation, with about twice as much height as width.

YouTube Shorts are basically a way to respond to the popularity of TikTok (and Instagram Reels), showing short videos for short attention spans.

"Coffee snob(noun): [One who has] a true epicurean appreciation for the fine art of all things coffee. This is far and above the myraid [sic] of lemmings who ritually congregate at the local Starbucks, trying like hell to appear hip and trendy."
