It depends on the game, character etc. I mean I suppose it adds to the escapism slightly?

I play all sorts of different games though, some where you’re not given the choice (Life Is Strange for example) and I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal

8/20 here. Proud of getting some right. Really shocked about the answers to some!

A tricky test indeed

The Precession To Calvery was hilarious from beginning to end.

You beat me to it because this game is genius!

Someone else mentioned Procession to Calvary - an adventure game set in a cut and paste world of renaissance art with a very surreal plot and sense of humour. Pythonesque.

There Is No Game is pretty hilarious, the voice acting always makes me crack up.

Agatha Knife is a funny point and click adventure game where you’re a 7 year old girl who’s a butcher and needs to set up her own religion sacrificing pigs in the basement for… Reasons.

Have to say with our home wifi (which is very good) Zoom is the only programme which consistently has problems with connections dropping out both on my devices and my wife’s. Turning VPN and other things off can help, but even then not always. And why should I have to do that exactly anyway, hm? Stopped using it unless I have to because someone else is using it.

My work uses Teams - it does the job, and is reliable. It also has chat functions and other various things aside from the video calling which clutter it up though.I personally prefer Google Meet - cleaner interface, no clutter and has an adequate subtitle function which is in advertently hilarious at times but pretty useful as well.

Both have the advantage of being matched up with their equivalent email systems etc, so if a business uses MS Office it does kind of make sense to use Office and same for Gmail.

I’m talking from workplace experience where places have tried using all of these or interact with other companies using them. Since lockdowns ended I don’t really do video calls in private.

Going for a more obscure open source option might have the same issue with other obscure options, persuading the other parties in the call to install and use something they’ve never heard of. That’s not knocking those options though, I’ve never used them and can’t comment on them.

Ha! I’ve come to you!

I’ve created a separate Mastodon profile so you’ll have to guess who I am though 🤔

I used the time honoured technique of posting a cute picture of my cats and hashtagging it. Also found some interesting people to follow - liking it a lot!

I left Twitter back in 2016 when I realised I wasn’t using it anymore and it had come up in a you’ve been pwnd result. Figured I’d just delete the account instead of resetting the password and didn’t miss it.

But I signed up to Mastodon today, because why not? I don’t really see why it’s being called hard to use. There’s some nice apps as well, which is making me more excited for a Kbin app when I wasn’t so bothered before…
