  • It never occurred to me that they would. Though sadly I can’t afford a new gaming PC. My rig is from 8 or 9 years old. And the GPU was a former mining card that I rescued from ebay, lol. RX 580 8gb, 16gb DDR4 ram, and Ryzen 5 2600. Not bad but it’s showing its age with modern games. Also does not have RTX so some won’t even run like Indiana Jones. Only way to play is by streaming services. Lately been using GFN to play KCD2 and it’s actually quite good even on WiFi. Just playing it on my laptop and only occassional stuttering. Though granted I am only in the tutorial level and have not had many big battles yet. I have also tried Enshrouded and Medieval Dynasty and they work ok though it does stutter a bit.



  • Well the BBC is technically forcing us to watch it. Many people don’t watch TV at all but constantly receive threatening letters complaigning that we are not paying for a TV License that we don’t use. They want every single household to have a TV and a license even if we don’t watch the BBC. So that is a big problem with a forced narrative from the BBC. I do agree that they do a lot of things well but it’s often too little too late. However, my main issue is not the quality of state controlled media or the ethical problems with that but rather the fact that they keep forcing us to pay for it. Even if we don’t use it.




  • Maybe they should stop forcing this antiquated TV License scam. For those who don’t know, the UK pushes for a TV License to watch Live TV though most people don’t watch BBC anymore. Though I bet they will try to find a way to include Netflix and more in the TV License. EDIT: I agree the BBC should be funded though they are not a perfect entity and state controlled media is very bad especially for journalism. I think they are going about advertising the license in the wrong way and there is a lot of evidence of harassment from letters and visits to get a tv license even if you don’t have a tv!
