I'm losing my patience with how comments are downvoted on HN. He's right. People are dying from common illnesses in the US because of a lack of hospital beds/staff. "Elective" surg…

> It sounds like if you had your way, you'd be quite the authoritarian. Do you hear yourself? So every forum that has mods to moderate the posts that are made is "authoritarian"? D…

The only game I've had to buy was Forza Motorsport 7, which is deeply discounted because it's leaving the service. Oh, and I couldn't resist Splinter Cell (the original Xbox versio…

I've happily taken their advice and have moved to an Xbox Series S for a good 80% of my gaming needs. What gaming I still do on my PC consists mainly of older games, emulators and …
