@isthereanydeal.com just wondering why itch isnt a supported shop anymore? I found a post on the discord saying it was due to their policies, but was wondering if you could give any more detail? If they are being scummy to ITAD I will stop buying from them!

@isthereanydeal.com do you have a place for feature requests? I would really like to only get notified for games that are at least 1 year old. Would allow me to add to my wishlist when they are new, but wait to buy them until bug fixes and updates are in.

People quoting these AI summaries for fact checks drive me wild. I sussed out a core factual conflation it made between two areas of a technical standard last week. It's good I didn't trust it. Glad I grew up with Wikipedia being drilled as untrustworthy. Wikipedia has issues even when sourced!
