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!

Why is matrix better than discord?

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.

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.

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.

As someone that used to love OnePlus, what’s the more recent equivalent?

I felt like around the 3 or so, I could get a flagship-ish phone for a reasonable price. Is there anything like that now?

No arms though.

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.

Yea, even with connecting flights I’m sure people miss the connection for various reasons with reasonable regularity

Debit cards in the UK generally don’t let you go overdrawn.

Like if I try to buy something and don’t have enough in my account I just get told ‘you can’t buy this’ and have to go transfer some more money to my account.

I pay a £5 monthly fee, but that gets me travel insurance, breakdown cover, mobile phone cover and a bunch of other benefits that I haven’t had to use yet.

I could opt out of that £5 fee and not pay anything at all for my banking. I find all the fees you end up with in the US a little bit insane.

I go on reddit for the TeachingUK sub and for the rugbyunion sub.

If those communities existed here in any meaningful way then I’d be done with reddit properly at this point.

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

I’ve a friend with one that I want to try sometime!

I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.

Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.

Cause if you don’t buy the $70 disc drive, then you save $50. That’s the logic…

Long as you’re happy to be limited to digital purchases and not be able to buy 2nd hand games.

I guess the disc drive is also good if you decide a year or two later ‘hmmm, maybe I should’ve got the disc version actually’.
