  I feel like for internal government communications you might not want it to be open source.

  Doesnt mean everyone else should want to use it.

  I feel like when I dipped my toes into the lore the Tau seemed the closest to good guys that I could find but I don’t know it well

  I’m all for having both. I personally prefer ‘AAA’ games over indie games but I think there’s just different flavours for different folks.

  That said, SC is a mega scam at this point and I can’t believe people are still continuing to fund it to this level.

  I was just about to post Warframe as well - though on PS5 rather than PC.

  Is definitely scratching an itch!

  It’s not so much laziness as the reason you’ve given - everyone else is on WhatsApp. Why would I move to a new messaging app when I literally can’t message the people I want to message on it cause they don’t have it.

  I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I gamed on PC for many years and basically only moved to a console when I had kids a few a years back.

  Both have benefits. For me, I like the not being distracted by other stuff on the console. Like if I sit down to game, on PC I’d often just end up on YouTube, twitch, check reddit, emails, whatever. I like that my console I just use for gaming.

  I still play on my PC from time to time and there’s obviously games that are only on PC, but my preference is console for the current phase of life and that’s fine for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can also buy and sell console games 2nd hand though which isn’t possible on PC anymore.

  That said, PC piracy probably wins overall if you’re looking the absolute cheapest option. But that’s kind of a different set of arguments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world’s power grids, 50 million miles’ worth, need a major overhaul⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the solution to that problem though is having multiple, smaller, unconnected grids.

  I think it’s to just have a more resilient grid system that doesn’t have any areas that are a single point of a failure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sycamore Gap tree held a particularly deep place in people's hearts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It makes my blood boil much more than it really ought to.

  I’ve never seen the tree and have basically no connection to it. But just seems so senseless and destructive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How will these protests lead to meaningful change? Do you think this form of protest will result in any more success than aforementioned ‘right way’?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure - but what do the attendees of a gaming conference have to do with new oil wells being approved?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teach primary pupils real-world maths - Labour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea a student was struggling with one way of solving the problem and teaching them alternative methods never occurred because it was “outside the curriculum”.

  It’s a tough balance of being ‘outside the curriculum’ vs ‘they don’t have time’. There’s lot of methods of doing most things in maths. Teachers usually will be trying to take an evidence-based approach of which method is supposedly the most effective for the most people (but unfortunately won’t be the most effective for everyone. And then with the amount stuffed into our school curriculum, there just isn’t time to cover the alternate methods

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We do need more people to work in certain industries. Not necessarily more people in general, but there are absolutely industries that relied on foreign nationals to help them meet staffing levels and after Brexit they aren’t meeting those. This is partly due to UK citizens feeling they are ‘too good’ to do certain types of work, though more and more are now taking these roles as there are no other options as our country becomes poorer.
