Why are these internet arguments so important o these people that they're willing to risk jail time?

Ask the people that livestream breaking and entering or whatever. Some folks see social interactions and just stop thinking about second order effects, I guess.

I think that’s the most analysis that a Segal film will ever receive.

Nah, there's multi-page academic analysis on those things faffing about somewhere, iirc. Less than a dozen paragraphs don't even enter into the running.

Most that one will ever receive on B12, though, maybe

This cat of yours certainly has some fascination with redecorating your place.

Eh, it's really clearly just a cat+fuzzy!thing dealio. If the outside cats didn't kill all the mice and whatnot she'd probably be dragging those around instead.

But yeah, it's been a thing since she was meaningfully mobile in the house. For a while she was pretty fixated on my sleeping mask, and would abscond with it at every opportunity.

The closest thing to arkanoid on mobile I've found I enjoyed quite a bit is, well. The recollect games (Soul Armor, Chimera), and they're less arkanoid and more pool. No paddle, but it's got the ball, bricks, powerups, and incremental upgrades to keep things interesting (plus a fairly adorable plot for chimera in particular). Ads they have are fairly unobtrusive, too.

Sadly, the only three vaguely adjacent to arkanoid things I can think of other than that -- Brick Odyssey (Roguelite RPG fusion), Plong (will destroy your mind), and Whackerball (more pong than brick breaker, but most of the components are there) -- don't seem to have mobile releases.

Though, that said? The dummy easy formula is why there's a tremendous amount of really shitty, super monetized ones. It's pretty easy to shit out a brick breaker game and fleece some rubes, basically, so lots of folks have done it

In a first for this house, sometime overnight the cat decided to drag a sock from literally the other end of the house to the living room... and then the dog went and peed on that sock.

I can't decide if they're cooperating, or if the dog got fed up with the cat playing with the sock and decided to make it stop.

Ever since Luck be a Landlord blew up a bit, that style of game (I think the most common designation is "drafting", or slots based) has seen a handful of new riffs on it. There's at least one other swords and sorcery themed one I'm aware of (though I can't remember the name offhand), plus two or three farming themed ones out at this point.

We'll almost certainly be seeing more going forward, considering they're basically just less exploitative slot machines with some strategy added in, heh.

Y'know, if you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have even thought to check, heh. Morbid curiosity is a hell of a drug.

They almost looked sorta' okay until I remembered what rhodesia was, ha.
