The HD Edition has a new AI[0] that's much stronger than the old one. It's built by Promiskuitiv and Archon, two well-known AI scripters in the Age of Empires scene :) [0]: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221380

It was random. According to SteamDB[1] it was a caching issue that ended up sending random pages to the wrong people. Possible explanation from unknown source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/3y7le9&#x

querySelectorAll returns a NodeList instead of a real array, so you can't call things like `.forEach` on the result. `[].slice.call(x)` turns x into an array, so that becomes [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(...)).forEach(

YT videos lag a lot when I stream them directly in VLC 2.2.0, (`vlc <youtube link>`) and some protected videos don't play at all, so I often use this: ytplay() { youtube-dl "$1" -o - | vlc - } As a side benefit
