UV hasn't done anything except for all the parts that matter. (And while there are compelling arguments that Rust has nothing to do with it, the correlation is pretty strong)

Well, if that's the thing that makes them not like watching it, it's worth pointing out specifically.

Well, maybe. There's no full record of the game, it's not even clear which year it supposedly took place in. It could have been a real tournament game, but I don't think there's enough evidence to reasonably conclude t

IMO that's the worst of both worlds - too big to comfortably make calls on but also doesn't have a keyboard to write on. You can carry an external keyboard but that actually ends up being fiddlier to pack than a conventional lapto
