Non-scammy merge dragons

My kid loves Merge Dragons…she likes the cartoonish style, putting things together to make new things, etc. However, I don’t especially want her playing a Zynga game given their history and their reliance on microtransactions, etc. I’d much rather pay for a game, have no ads, and not have kids playing something designed to separate them from as much money as possible. Is there a non-scammy game similar to Merge Dragons for the iPad? Preferably one I can pay for up front? Thanks!

Help sorting different kinds of duplicates in Excel?

I have an Excel file that is a subset of a larger one -- it is a merged file of two mailing lists; this file contains just records that exist in duplicate. Trouble is there are 3 kinds of duplicates, and I need to isolate and remove just one subset of the duplicates. This is about 2900 records, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to automate this or do it in a bulk way. [more inside]

how to merge old mailing list into new list without overwriting data?

Our org is doing some housecleaning of our databases and mailing lists, and I've got a kludgy old email list that I am being asked to merge into our organization's existing mailchimp list, so that everything is consolidated there. Initially at least, I need to be able to reach just the people who came from the old list, and not already on the mailchimp list, but with two lists of that size, I'm not sure how to compare/sort them to get them into mailchimp wiithout causing damage.

That's the name of the game

Years ago I learned of a game on this site, similar to 2048, but you dropped the numbers from the top and balanced them in a stack. If they couldn't merge you get closer to the roof. Winning gave you access to other graphic sets for the game, including hand-drawn style of blocks. Unity based. I can't find it or remember the name. [more inside]

Does this piece of software exist? Email it two emails and it'll combine

I need to stitch together MKV files. Free. It shouldn't be this hard.

I need to merge together MKV files on a windows computer (not online because these are confidential work files.) There must be a free program that does this, but my googling throws up only online solutions. Generic "merge video" utilities don't seem to do MKV. I should have been able to google this, but I can't find anything.

How do you merge personal videos into one video?

I have an I-phone 6 and I want to merge some videos into one video. Would it be easier to download an app and merge the videos on my phone? Or is it easier to download each video separately onto my computer and then use a computer program to do it? The easier the better, as I am not computer savvy, and if you have any names of apps or programs that you specifically know of, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Combining multiple json files in a batch: Help!!

I have about 12K json files that I need to combine into one or two. The only tools I can find online require you to select each file one at a time (or are super pricey for a one-time use). This isn't really feasible with 12K files. Ideally, I could select all files, click upload, and the tool would generate a joined file. This is way beyond my limited coding knowledge. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Word 2010 lumping together comments and edits from different reviewers

I created a document in Word 2010 and I am sharing it with two reviewers. When I turn on Track Changes, I can see my edits in one color, and my comments display my initials. But when the reviewers add their edits and comments and send it back to me, their comments end up the same color, and all comments, including mine, are now marked A# (A1, A2, A3). I can't see where my comments end and theirs begin. [more inside]
