Show HN: Game recommender around experience, not genre – here's what emerged
As I got older I found myself buying games that just ended up sitting in my backlog. I just couldn’t get into the mood to play them. I realized there was a disconnect between what excited me and what actually fit my energy levels and time.That’s what led me to build Slated.gg.Most game recommenders look at games from the outside (genre, themes, etc.) What mattered to me was what’s it like to play. How much focus it needs, what type of thinking it requires, can I play in short bursts, is it emoti

1% Vacancy, 81% Preleased: Where Midmarket Compute Deploys in 2026
The 81.5% prelease rate is the number that should concern mid-market buyers. Hyperscalers are committing to supply before construction starts. When 81% of a building is already spoken for before ground breaks, the remaining 19% gets priced to reflect scarcity.The 1-10 MW segment is in a genuinely difficult position. Too small to compete for primary market allocations, too large for normal colocation pricing, and the usual fallback of secondary markets has its own capacity crunch now. Secondary m
