I stopped being concerned about email harvesting years ago, I just simply leave the email on my website. Spam handling is okay enough, I guess. But I like this review of techniques, even the simplest ones are very effective, that surprised

Hi sillysaurusx, I've been in your place. I was 36 when I decided to separate, after 7 years of marriage/10 years of relationship with my first serious relationship ever. It was also a few months before the first COVID lockdown, s

I made a game with Adventure Game Studio about 20 years ago, and Windows being Windows, it still runs fine on modern Windows, although I lost the source to it. AGS is still a good engine for making games! AdventureX ( https://www.
