@freemo @QOTO Is there a way to be notified when someone boosts something, not just when they toot?

@lucifargundam These are possibilities. Is the learning curve gentle?

What are the differences between the two? Is there a reason to choose one game over the other?

@antares I tried, but that definitely fell into the "getting a pilot's license" category. I don't want to do 20 hours of tutorials before I can have any fun. I mean, crikey, this "essential starter guide" is 9 pages long:

https://www.eurogamer.net/elite-dangerous-guide-3684

Also, give me missions, not this open world "track the prices of 40 commodities across 200 star systems" stuff.

I really *wanted* to like Elite Dangerous, but obviously I had a bad experience.

@trinsec We may get half an inch of ice.

@jellycrystals I didn't find it frustrating, although of course your mileage may vary. There are many ways to solve each puzzle, and you feel clever when you find a particularly elegant one.

@richard_herron No, that includes scripting, filming, editing, etc. If you already have a planned lecture and are going to just record it I imagine it wouldn't be nearly that long.

@emmahunneyball @dria I've played it a couple of times and liked it. I wish there was a similar game on a different theme.

@inherentlee Not only is the all-lower-case version the first suggestion, but when I deliberately camel case, autocorrect overrides it!

Your link seems to just be a discussion of why there's no easy technical fix. What do you suggest we tell our mods "can be done"? Surely not manually editing every hashtag.

@lazzarello Aren't they famously difficult?

@Pat I can probably handle a bit more than that, but I have been known to enjoy a good car racing game.
