Name a game without R, O, or G in the title. Let's see what game comes up the most! 👇

@ReturnofColin2 More to the point, just how bad were the alternatives?

To the constituents of Edinburgh Central....... If this idiot was the answer, just how fucking stupid was the question?

@HardwareUnboxed Have DLSS, FSR, and XeSS enabled 8k gaming?

@AGONbyAOC It's all part of a package. I'm looking for a 32" 6k/3k or 8k/4k dual-mode monitor with 120 Hz refresh rate at 6k / 8k. Give me that ultra-sharp text! Better would be a 34" 7880x2880 / 3440x1440 120 Hz ultrawide monitor.

The most important monitor spec for you is… ⤵️

@afneil Why don't you, by contrast, cherry-pick Aberdeen?

Actually I wrote that in Scotland. But, hey, why let facts get in the way. City GDP per capita is quite a slippery concept but let’s stick with it and cherry pick Edinburgh. On the other hand: Scottish GDP per capita is almost 10% below UK average. Public spending is now 52% of GDP — a good socialist level — yet Scottish public services are in many cases (schools, NHS waiting lists) worse than England. Public spending per person is £2,669 more than UK average but revenue per person is £578 less. Hence your £26 billion budget deficit — an incredible 12% of GDP. Nowhere in Europe comes close. Westminster fills the gap — or you’d be bust. You’re welcome.

@scotfax It's very simple: there are two nationalist parties and four unionist parties.

The GAME. The SNP+Greens dropped about 9% in their vote by got one extra seat on 2021. Pro-indy voting is 41% (you can push it to 42% with the tiny parties and rounding), but that get's you 57% of the seats. Nats need 25K votes to get a seat, Unionists 43-47K.

@kitgurupress Good luck, but you've been chewing through a fair few new presenters recently.

📢JOB OPENING📢 We are looking to bring on another on-camera reviewer focussed on gaming PCs and peripherals - if this sounds like a job for you then apply within: kitguru.net/tech-news/anno…

@Anna_xb2 Eleanor, Mathilda / Maud, Anne, Mary, Catharine, Cleopatra, etc etc.

Be honest!!

@ArgyleBecky Unfortunately the Unionist vote will be split and the SNP will win.

Wee screeching Mairi after her mauling on BBC QT time last night here in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen audience made it clear they didn’t like her and sent her homewards to think again.

@benonwine Ring non-emergency police number to advise them (lest you be accused of theft) then hand it in. What happens if there is no police station nearby?

You find this on the ground, what’s your next move?

@Brparadox 9800X3D

What's the first upgrade you add to this build?

@SamaHoole I just had haggis for lunch. Nom.

Haggis is the single food item currently banned from import into the United States of America because it contains sheep's lung. Sheep's lung has been declared, by the USDA, an inedible offal. The ban was imposed in 1971 and remains in place. The Scottish reaction to this ban has, for fifty years, ranged from bafflement to mild amusement. Sheep's lung has been eaten in Scotland, daily, without incident, for approximately eight hundred years. It is the binding ingredient that holds the minced sheep's heart, liver, onion, oatmeal, suet, and spices together inside the stomach casing. It is the reason haggis exists. Scottish children are fed haggis on Burns Night, 25th of January, every year. They eat it at school. At home. At pubs. At weddings. At every ceremony the national poet is toasted at. Burns Night is, in Britain, effectively the last public occasion on which a whole generation still encounters a dish made from an animal's lungs, heart, and liver, stuffed into its own stomach, and eaten communally. This used to be normal food. Every rural British household knew some version of it. Faggots in the Midlands. Brawn everywhere. Black pudding in Lancashire. Drisheen in the West Country. The whole animal was used because the whole animal was available and it was cheaper than buying specific cuts. Now, once a year, the Scottish remind everyone else that this food exists. The rest of the year, it is marketed as a quaint regional oddity for tourists. The nutritional profile of a traditional haggis is substantial. Per 100 grams: 14g protein, 22g fat, significant B12, iron, zinc, and the specific fat-soluble vitamins that concentrate in organ meat. The Americans have been missing out for fifty years because of a regulatory decision made in 1971 on the basis of a sanitary concern that was probably already obsolete. The Scots have been eating it the whole time. The Scots have not died of it.

@DreyfusJames Noli illigitimi carborundum, as Balme was not wont to say.

Account is restricted yet again. If you could drop a brief comment on my posts below, it apparently helps that algae-rhythm… Thanking you in advance.

@WorkElizab Parents need to teach it too.

What do you think?

@ASUS_ROG Doom (the original). Wing Commander 2.

This is not an easy question.

@christopherhope Good to see a civil servant doing their job.

NEW Larry the Cat has just killed and eaten a mouse feet from the door of 10 Downing St during the Prime Minister’s press conference. The mouse was killed in the courtyard of the Foreign Office, dragged across the street and consumed by Larry on the grass next to Number 10’s door. We have the film. This is not an April Fool. It is the first time this has happened in my long hours standing outside 10 Downing Street. Here is Larry moments before the mouse killing.

@OverclockersUK Wing Commander 1 & 2 - and 3 and 4. Freespace 1 & 2. Command & Conquer 1-3 but not 4.

Which amazing video game had an equally amazing sequel? 🤔

@benonwine I'd swap the black pudding for haggis. But what is milk doing in a pint glass?

What would you remove?
