    Go to Apps & Features in Windows, remove Riot Vanguard first, then Valorant. Restart after uninstalling both. That ensures the anti-cheat doesn’t stick around running in the background.

    Hi there! Yes, Instagram does let you hide like counts, and it’s a pretty flexible feature. You can hide them for your own posts and also when you’re browsing other people’s. If you’re posting something new, you’ll see an option right before sharing that says “Hide like and view counts on this post.” You just toggle that on. For posts you’ve already made, tap the three dots on the post → “Hide like count.” Super simple. To stop seeing counts on other people’s posts, go to Settings → Privacy → Posts and turn on “Hide Like and View Counts.” And don’t worry—it’s not permanent. You can always go back and switch it off if you miss seeing the numbers. I personally find it refreshing; it lets me focus more on the content itself rather than the popularity contest vibes. Definitely worth trying out if you want a less pressurized IG experience.

    Hi there! I’ve actually read through Geekzilla’s Silent Hill guide, and it’s a mix of both gameplay help and lore explanation. It’s not like a step-by-step “turn left here, grab that key” type of walkthrough, but more like a companion piece that gives context as you move through the game. For example, it talks about the symbolism behind the monsters, why certain puzzles are designed the way they are, and how different endings connect to the characters’ psychology. I found it really helpful when replaying Silent Hill 2—it made me appreciate the narrative layers way more. The guide is hosted directly on Geekzilla’s site under their “gaming” or “retro horror” section, so a quick search for “Geekzilla Silent Hill guía” should bring it up. If you’re looking for pure gameplay steps, maybe combine it with another walkthrough, but for lore and atmosphere, Geekzilla’s take is excellent.

    It’s basically Snapchat’s bestie badge. You and that person snap each other the most, more than anyone else. If you keep it up for 2 weeks, it turns red, and after 2 months, it becomes pink double hearts.

    The purple circle is Snapchat’s video marker. Any time you see it, you’ll know there’s video in the story. Photos get the red circle, chats/private updates show blue. It’s a simple but effective color-coding system Snapchat relies on.

    Deleted DMs are basically gone from your view, but you still have one chance: request your account data. Instagram will send you a zip file with photos, posts, and sometimes message backups. I did this when I deleted a conversation by mistake. It worked, but only for older messages that were stored on their servers. Don’t bother with shady recovery apps—they’re more likely to steal your account than restore anything. Asking the other person is often the simplest fix.

    Go to Settings → Account → Contacts Syncing, toggle it on, and Instagram suggests people in your phone book. They don’t get notified directly, but you’ll both likely see each other in “Suggested for You.”

    Open your Instagram archive (Profile → Menu → Archive → Stories). Tap the story you want, then hit “Share” to make it live again, or “Highlight” to pin it. Stories don’t restore like posts—they only resurface as new or pinned.
