Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

My daughter savaged me with a riddle that I’ve been laughing about all morning:
Most people need it, often ask for it, love to give it, but rarely take it.
What is it?
English
@David_Y3 I'm sure that people not leaving Islam has got nothing to do with the punishment for apostasy being death. Pure coincidence.
English
@thewinterdollx I don't care what anyone says - there's nothing wrong in changing the meanings of words used by billions of people past and present (man, woman) in order for men to gain access to women's toilets.
English
When are we going to acknowledge that female ≠ woman and male ≠ man?
For the vast majority yes they do, however male and female are sexes. Man and woman are gendered terms based on various other factors.
This conversation is actually tiring 🙄
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
Being biologically female means having a body that is observably organised to produce large gametes (eggs), as opposed to a body organised to produce small gametes (sperm). A woman is female whether her eggs have been fertilised or not. A man can never be female.
English
@BadWritingTakes Yeah they have - adult human female. Simple. If you're not female, you can't be a woman. I know that you find this confusing - go and have a sit down
English
It has been over half a decade of Rowling and her weird cult waging war against transgender people and they *still* have not managed to come up with a definition of "woman" that includes all c!s women and excluses all trans women.
Not all c!s women produce eggs Joanne!

@daniellismore You can't ignore them and take them to court. Taking them to court is not ignoring them. Silly billy
English
Trans people should ignore the EHRC guidelines and take them all to court. Once the cases start on a large scale and supply the courts with the biological information of why people are transgender, it will all be overturned.
English
@johnbestwest I think the idea is that the person on 40k basic has to do more hours work to earn 55k and so should pay less tax on the same money. It's a reward for doing more hours. I'm not sure what the policy hopes to achieve
English
@Heccles94 I'm sorry that toilets now confuse you. That must be exhausting. I feel for you. Stay brave.
English
50% of trans people were born as male, and 50% born as female.
Transphobes ignore Trans men, but obsess over trans women using women’s toilets.
Both sets of people are being negatively stigmatised by this ruling. In fact, toilets are about to become more confusing and hostile than ever.
No one wins.
Carol Fieldhouse@fieldhce17
@Heccles94 Definitely- and everyone in the right place! What you men don’t get is that women- most women- do not want our single-sex spaces being taken away by men, who then have lots of male spaces while women have none. Not just toilets after all…
English
@ianaddison Are teachers paid for 50 hours a week? If not, there's no tax due anyway
English
Trans people DO NOT have to tell you they're trans unless the have romantic intentions with you..
That means if you, as a straight man ask me out on a date,I'm not obliged to tell you until AFTER the date when l've decided if have romantic interest in you or not
English
@cassiemoans_ And you'd definitely know if any of the women were impacted because you surveyed every one of them. Feel free to share the results.

@jaynemesis Solar is currently meeting around 0% of the UK's electricity demand. That's the thing about solar - it's not 24/7. You still need something else.
English
Solar is currently meeting around 45% of the UK's electricity generation demand.

@Keir_Starmer Some people will do anything to save a few pounds. You've never said anything about the Champions League final being free to view until it was your team that was impacted. Nice.
English
Football should bring people together, not shut them out.
For the first time since the competition began, fans won’t be able to watch the Champions League final for free. That’s not right.
This is bigger than wanting to watch Arsenal in this historic final. It’s bigger than one club.
Hardworking people shouldn’t have to fork out for a subscription to watch this match.
I urge TNT Sports to reconsider and make the final next Saturday free to watch.
English
@crocogod Literally 14%. A liar and too stupid to do simple calculations too. Well done
English
@jwsal The government just need to build enough social housing. They haven't, and neither have previous governments, which is why we need private landlords to meet the housing needs of people. This is a government problem for the government to solve
English
Private landlords are costing the UK £40 billion in housing benefit every year. They are a drain on the economy and do no work, providing no productivity or growth.
Kirstie Allsopp@KirstieMAllsopp
Surprise, surprise @wesstreeting is on @BBCr4today bashing landlords. I’ve got news for you mate, we can’t have a “productive nation” without people having homes, so if you want to tax Landlords to hell, I’d build some alternative accommodation first ‘cos you’re going to need it.
English
@TedUrchin Idiot. 70% of 65+ support which compares well with the overall 76%. Nice virtue signalling from you though so well done for that. I don't think anyone noticed
English
What is it with the old?
Why are they so fucking selfish?
Bitter and twisted old bastards.
Thankfully I’m in the 29%.

@sspencer_63 The single occupancy toilet on the plane? I'm not sure that's relevant - idiot.
English
Any update on what the toilets were like on the plane, Lyle?

@Heccles94 Good for you for leaving your tweets up. I don't usually agree with them but it's good that you leave them up.
English
A major British Newspaper threatened to do a story including some of my tweets and making defamatory claims.
I left my tweets up as I have nothing to hide and warned them I would sue for defamation and Libel.
They retracted the story.
The British Press shouldn’t be allowed to bully us.
Don’t give them an inch.

@kokeshimum Idiot. 70% of boomers are supportive. Compares well with the overall 76%. Top clowning - well done.
English
Take their Winter Fuel allowance.
Take their triple lock.
Take their free bus passes.
Take it all away.
Because I am sick to the fucking back teeth of miserable fucking boomers ruining everything.
Look at the state of this ffs.
