  I think most business and official correspondence has a bold subject line, and in the past perhaps they used full caps on type writers (what would I know, I was born in 1990). I like the idea of just putting the subject in the first couple of lines to make the point, sometimes having a dedicated subject line takes up precious space. I usually re-write several times over until it’s cropped enough to fit the subject line :)

  Are you also boycotting Sony and Nintendo? They all use DRM and they all increase prices over time.

  My xbox series s has 2 gb of ram so I just laugh at articles like this.

  Do it. I have a Series S and it’s pretty good if I ignore the laggy UI and the controller which is designed for a child’s hand. They changed the grip in this generation to appeal more to children and maybe also the Japanese market. I hate the controller for Xbox Series but I believe that consoles are a good way to explore games. There are many games I’ve never beat before. I’m on gamepass premium but I have to cancel it. Anyway, gamepass has given me new ideas for what I should buy in the future. I might end up buying a Series X just as the generation ends its life because I haven’t played all the games that I want yet, for this console generation. I still want to beat Phoenix Point, get Stellaris with DLC and maybe try competitive multiplayer in Age Of Empires games. People need to get over the obsession with high spec PCs. It’s just entertainment, how seriously do people have to agonising over it?

  Lol this is just tragic. How would these people write a letter, even just to out in their neighbour’s letterbox regarding a burglary or something? Do people not think that they need to write a brief title?

  Lots of manipulation from CIA and Washington DC lobbyists too.

  Overall it’s true but there’s a lot of people pushing agendas on there too.

  I’m shadow banned everywhere. These companies must have a file on me which they share with each other. Social media is just a waste of time now. I’m not even allowed to criticise the Ukrainian government any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 may not yet be "content complete" and another release delay is possible, claims Jason Schreier⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those of us who are older need to reconsider whether we care or not. I’m 35 and I realise that GTA is primarily about mass appeal. It wants to be the Forza Horizon, Flight Sim and Call Of Duty all in one. Teenagers are obsessed with it, along with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed. I don’t care much for open world games and I stay away from over-hyped games. The other day I was writing to a 16 year old on Xbox and I told him to check out Enter The Gungeon and Neon Abyss. One by one we shall reclaim these kids away from AAA disappointment 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨007 First Light gets PC specifications released and that's a lot of RAM needed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of games that look great and run smoothly on game consoles. Xbox Series X does well for a system with only 2gb of system ram and 12gb gpu ram. Why bother with pc at this point. Sadly console prices are going to stay the same or go up but it’s not PC level increases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨007 First Light gets PC specifications released and that's a lot of RAM needed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll release on Xbox Series S though with only 2gb of system ram and 8gb (i think) of gpu ram. On Series X it’s not much better but it’ll run at 30 fps.

  Halo Infinite and DOOM Eternal run at 60 fps on console so I think that minimum spec is just speculation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad I’m broke because I dont even have to think about it until it becomes a necessity. 8GB is enough for everyone :P

  I’ll stick with my 7 year old pc thanks. My friend in his 70s tried to buy a new PC but they didn’t have the parts here in New Zealand.
