@krafty it depends what you are used to 😄 roads are bigger here than in the UK where I normally drive, and I drive a pickup there so I’m used to larger cars and tiny roads.

@darth don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything. I have a Series S and it performs super well for the cost, but PC Game Pass does everything the Xbox does anyway.

You know what? I actually really enjoy driving in the Philippines. I’ve driven plenty over the last week or so in both a Fortuner (love that SUV!!!!) and a little Hyundai Accent (sorry don’t love that so much) and it’s pretty chill and relaxed despite what people tell you. I’ve driven here before but this time around I put did way more Kms and I love it.

@richardtroupe I miss the days when things worked without having to have a subscription to something… wanna play against a friend? Grab the second controller, no online anything.

@jonn_blanchard indeed. They are. They’ve shows us time and time again that piracy is actually the best game preservation effort we have right now. But it doesn’t need to be this way, we need official video game archives just like we have film archives or art museums.

@darth they can indeed. As long as people continue using Windows and paying for Game Pass they probably don’t care.

@jonn_blanchard this is why video game preservation is something that has be taken seriously.

@darth it’s true. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo seem to be trying hard to push people away from their console platforms into PCs. Eventually PC components will be affordable again and it will make little sense to be on console.

@freemo that’s pretty cool! The last digital chess board I had died long long ago 😔

@lpacheco @thekitmalone because at top level chess is very skewed towards male players, under 40 of the more than 1,600 international chess grandmasters are women. The root cause of this performance gap is not know and is highly debated. There’s evidence there’s an intimidation component, when playing against an opponent blind studies have shown women play close to men and worse when they know the opponent is male. In any case, this is why chess is gendered, to make sure there are female champs.
