![High Price of Victory: Vormir Location Bug’s Impact on Marvel Snap]()
High Price of Victory: Vormir Location Bug’s Impact on Marvel Snap The release of the new Marvel Snap Vormir location has been causing some delays for the free-to-play card game. Players have been experiencing longer than usual pauses in card-revealing animations, making the usually brisk game uncharacteristically slow. Though not extended delays, this issue has caused some headaches for card battlers – and here’s why.
The Vormir location is still drawn from the standard lineup of locations, though no longer with a 40% higher chance due to its ‘featured’ status. To win at Vormir, a player must sacrifice their first card, which gets destroyed. This has caused a great debate among the... Continue reading -

![Facebook Lets Anyone Become a Group Moderator, If the Admin Allows]()
Facebook Lets Anyone Become a Group Moderator, If the Admin Allows Every messenger and social media is now all about group communication. The recent decision by Facebook, though, looks a bit bizarre. With this feature activated, every member of a group can assign themselves as a moderator. And this is potentially ruining for any meaningful communication should there be at least one troll among them.
In case you didn’t know, Facebook even notifies group administrators with a pop-up message informing them that they can enable all the group users to become moderators. It may be useful for a small group where everyone knows and trusts each other. Yet, with communities more popular... Continue reading -
