While I kinda like what Bellingcat does, you do have a point. Crowdsourcing decisions rarely lead to good outcomes

Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff

EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It's possibly the best piece of software I've ever tried

If this is gonna be even half as cool as it looks from the trailers, I think we'll have a guaranteed GOTY

Interestingly, here's what Merriam Webster says about the origin of the word:

We can thank Norman Mailer for factoid: he used the word in his 1973 book Marilyn (about Marilyn Monroe), and he is believed to be the coiner of the word. In the book, he explains that factoids are "facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion in the Silent Majority." Mailer's use of the -oid suffix (which traces back to the ancient Greek word eidos, meaning "appearance" or "form") follows in the pattern of humanoid: just as a humanoid appears to be human but is not, a factoid appears to be factual but is not. The word has since evolved so that now it most often refers to things that decidedly are facts, just not ones that are significant.

I'll have to check out Omni, I've never used it!

Lol I honestly was not sure if your comment was sarcastic or not. I guess you're saying that if you're looking to spend 1000s of hours with a game (like what people do with Runescape) Vampire Survivors is not the best. Still, you can easily get 100+ hours out of the base game + another buch of hours with the DLCs.

Also I think how quick you get tired of it depends on how much you're looking to break the game with golden eggs farming. I personally have not done it but, if you do, it becomes pretty boring pretty fast.
