Can I just strike something home here...: A talk at a scientific conference, attended by adult scientists, was pulled, and one of the reasons given was "in order to ensure the safety and dignity of all of our members". A __talk__

Going a bit on side venture here with this comment, but I'd so much prefer this to be well written up instead of a two and half hour video. And it's so ubiquitous, watching videos over people reading, and I can't help but thi

Thanks for the number. Why do they inflate the disk space needed by a factor of ~2.5 I wonder... I understand you would want to have some leeway so someone playing the game doesn't surpass the 'disk space required' within the

I'm a bit surprised it does get this many upvotes. The wikipedia article is a stub. The guardian article quoted (and posted here in the comments) doesn't do a good job detailing the exact situation he found himself in. For example

Thanks for sharing as it might be helpful to people struggling w/ the same problem. But obviously my point is that if I'm officially stuck to your client, maybe give me a working version when Ubuntu is updated, instead of me getti

Sorry to comment just on one singular aspect but... 85 GB of free storage listed as minimum system requirement? Granted, I haven't seriously played any major games for at least 10 years I'd say. My occasional playing is limited in
