A "Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard with RGB". Bought on a whim on sale. Not unhappy with the keyboard itself, but its killer app is being able to tell at a glance, by backlit keys, if my work laptop has accidentally un-hiber

Yes - that's the controversy I'm referring to. I'm on MeWe and haven't encountered any people there that I have followed specifically discussing far-right/alt-right topics except for a couple of folks posting in gro

G+ was _the_ place to be for one of my hobbies (OSR/DIY D&D). A massive blow. I made jokes about if we hang in there and don't get taken in the Google+ Rapture, things will go on like normal. Turns out G Suite users get to kee

FWIW I've had more Dungeon Masters/referees for Lamentations of the Flame Princess (a modern horror-themed retroclone of the 1983 Mentzer D&D Red Box) in my home city than any other edition of D&D or any other tabletop RPG

Another good feature would be to make the event open so people could enter their details to register. At the moment, the organiser still has to use another channel to ask "who's in?" and collect e-mail addresses.

I play in cough Dungeons & Dragons cough games in Hangouts and this looks tremendously useful. The participants are usually spread out across the world... the option to view Hangout times in in terms of local time would be _excellent_
