like santa, apple knows when i am sleeping⦠and could surely update my apps nightly, instead of once every 84 days, right?! plus nightly would allow plenty of time for that cdn to propagate? (look iām sure there is a real, valid reason for this, itās just fun to complain about)

five years later this dude showed up to copy the joke, and it was also a viral hit, and then of course he sold t-shirts. i wish i had one of these t-shirts

Herdling trusts the player to guide an expanding group of fantasy creatures to their mountain home. Along the journey, players will name, pet, feed, play with, and care for each of these individually unique animals. Herdling is one of the most special games I have played for this account.

some classic psych tricks on the pricing at this cinnabon: why buy 9 minibons for $23.99 when you can get 15 for $24.99? i think they massively inflated the base price to trick people into thinking they were scoring some kind of "deal", thus spending more so who buys the 9 (they said people do!)
