Ads in pm's is what made me stop using ICQ back in 2005
It's good to see big corps always fall for the same pits
I'd forgotten all about ICQ. I think I adopted early enough that I only had 5 digits in my ID too. Oh how we forget. Or at least I do... |

Can we stop linking to sites that circumvent Ad Blocker?
I'd totally support this. I have had many articles I've not bothered reading because they insist I disable my blocker or whitelist them. Ironically one was about reducing adverts in TV programming  |

Has there ever been a stranger, more incomprehensible game than Cricket? Except maybe Whackbat?
Your version of football is as alien to us in the UK as cricket is to you guys I guess? We grow up with it, while we have to actually be taught what the hell is going on in "American Football", and then only if we're interested. That said, the various rules for when two sides draw or win based on rain calling off play blows my mind to this day. |

If only there was a place locally where I could try it out.
Bizarrely, we have just had a shipping container appear in our town center labelled as 'virtual reality orchestra'. It's literally a shipping container with a chair and a rig in it. I daren't try it, as it reminds me too much the set of a torture scene from an 80s action movie. Half expect there to be a thug stood nearby with rags around his knuckles. |

It seems I go too hard and burn out and come back years later and forget whats what. Is it worth pushing on?
Exactly the same problem. I loved it to hell and played too hard too fast, hit second area, and haven't touched it in two years and can't remember what's what now. |

I really don't get where this fear-mongering is coming from. Why does everyone assumes that hypothetical AIs are out to kill us? I realise that it cannot be conclusively proven that this is the case, neither can the opposite be proven, but I want argumentation that at least makes sense.
There's the very good case that humans are pretty much a bad thing on a lot of metrics, so if you're not careful, any AI given a task to make anything better has the potential to decide that removing humans is a step in the right direction.
Also it's a numbers game, it just takes one to decide to remove us, and it'll probably be a lot better at doing so than we are at stopping it.
Very much a "better safe than sorry" situation when it comes to being worried. |

Ji-dge? Jai-dge? If I can't parse a games name, that isn't good in my book
Read the description - it's basically Judge Dredd.
Oh I realise that's what they're trying for, but you can't swap a U for a Y, at least not in English. |

Kind of weird. I was a GWENT tester and early adopter - but if you are involved in the Witcher lore, wouldn't you already own all of that? I am pretty sure it was FREE from GOG or a buck or something elsewhere.....
I'm pretty sure they know the exact numbers who already own it, and can't help but wonder just how cheap this is. |

| I've no idea if it's transferable, but I already have Witcher 2 on my GoG account, so my tester code *may* be going free. If anyone somehow doesn't have it already and wants to try, just shout. |

| At least with all sides slinging "X party wants to return us to 19XX" slurs, we can finally settle on 1984 for the Conservative party |
