What's the sub channel data used for in games? copy protection? I searched but just got results describing its purpose for use in tracking location during audio playback which I wouldn't think would be very applicable to games or is that really it? AKA it doesn't seem like it's important but …

Also it's not a free game but depending on your time zone Baldur's Gate 3 is out. Ah, the I hate White normal/not gay male players, homo sex with a bear trailer, uber "inclusive" and woke "game." I suppose this is one way to create buzz to sell product, not a good one, but agenda must be pushed.

A youtube search away for health & nutrition videos. pre-diabetic, type 2 diabetic, malnutrition, poor sleep are things you can change. reversing diabetes takes a few years but going low carb/keto/carnivore, dropping omega 6 seed oils, adding fasting slowly undoes the damage.
