Ha 😃. This was my first thought as well. I just shared the link to a friend of mine working for “Friend Computer” to ask him what class of citizen he was going to be.

which fork of new pipe are you using? I’d be interested to hear your take on it.
and Ireland too!
Sadly, Portal64 has come to an end after cease & desist letters were issued to James. Still, it was a fantastic series and he is a great presenter, he makes the technical challenges he faces so Interesting to follow.
I got into this recently playing with my brother and friend. it’s the perfect mix of tower defence and factory builder. Also trying to optimize a ammunition belts mid-wave is a kind of addictive thrill of panic I didn’t know I needed in my life.
I agree with you, but also Total War is the trademark brand and they’re also gonna use it.
I am not a search engine engineer.
Here are some things it might be though:
It could be that the results you see first are cached on their servers, and expiring from that cache between your searches. however usually when something requested is pulled from a cache, the items lifespan in the cache is usually refreshed so it lives a bit longer.
It could be that certain they are NOT cached at all, and certain sites are rate limiting the DDG crawler hitting them and returning info to you, so DDG takes them out of the results as they cannot confirm the site is alive. I noticed reddit disappeared from the results and we all know about Reddit and their APIs here.
It could also be their ranking algorithm for results is not as deterministic as they want it to be, it could also be that way by design. Page ranking is a closely guarded trade secret, especially at big places like Google. DDG results will never match 1:1 with Google. Personally, I prefer DDGs results to Google.
I’d love to find something like this for the SamsungOS tvs, or at least a locally hosted alternative adblocker. I get 3-4 ads per 10 minute video now and it’s endlessly frustrating.
I will absolutely check those out too, thanks for sharing!
I really love Interactive Fiction, this is definitely going on right on top of my to-play pile. Hopefully I can get it running with android as I’m in SE Asia ATM with no laptop/desktop. Eager to dive in!
What tools do you use to develop these games?
Goldenaxe on Sega was one of my all time favorites growing up, though I never beat it. Close second was Revenge of the Shinobi, also never beat it. I know we’ve gotten a new streets of rage recently but I would love to see a new release for goldenaxe!
That was a really interesting descent down a rabbit hole, I’ll not soon forget that! It reminds me of stumbling across sites like Ted the Caver, and some other oddities in the very early 2000s at 3 or 4am. Thanks for sharing!

Urban strike as well! I think it was urban strike that turned into a kind of top down shooter when you assaulted an enemy base about halfway into the game. 10 year old me could never get past that part.
