Best gaming keyboard?
I thought the mechanicals were more susceptible to shorting out on a liquid spill, but I can't actually find anything to back that up, so maybe it isn't true.

Best gaming keyboard?
'Gaming' is just a marketing term. The only really important feature is how the keys feel, and you can't test that beforehand. You can overpay for a mechanical keyboard of course, that way you won't end up with something terrible, but I've had many standard ones I prefer the feel of. They also have the added benefit of usually surviving a liquid spill, while mechanicals are guaranteed to fail. The higher end ones always seem to sacrifice some durability for that extra tactile feedback. I'm in the market for one myself actually, but it's a bit of a jungle.

What is being done about torrents?
Hello, just a friendly reminder that we have a zero tolerance policy on piracy, so. Hypothetically you couldn't even say what site you hypothetically used to hypothetically torrent the game. We would can the thread immediately. (a game that you could get for 3 $ with a Game Pass account, yes)

They are so ham-fisted it's almost unbelievable. But, earnings estimates are earnings estimates I guess.

Anyone facing problems on gamepass?
Open services and check if gaming services is running. If it can't be manually started from services you might be screwed, it's something wrong with windows. Installation or updates or something. This is just from a google search.

Jim Sterling likes ToW. Yahtzee Croshaw isn't going to like it, because he doesn't like anything, that's not the format. Anyway, Sterling isn't for sale. So good sign.

Or.... How about the .ini fiile. IJKL are used in the menus, that's why they can't be rebound. But, if they weren't pointing at menu commands. set Journal, Inventory and so on, to something else. worth a look.

Issues with pre-installing on the Xbox app for windows 10.
I'm getting the same for 4 drives, except C:\ for some reason. It says it's 'not configured for installing games.' Which is clearly nonsense. at least I can install games on my system drive. One or two, it's not very roomy.

Question
It must be custom I suppose. It looks like a flatter ethernet connector. I don't have the laptop to check though. I'll just get her a wireless router. Better idea.

I dunno if this is heresy or not, but I'm not really interested in Xcom if it's not Firaxis.

Xbox Controller Alternatives
PS4 controllers work with windows, sometimes, a few hours at a time at least. I gave up and am exclusively using xbox controllers now. I recommend getting a proper bluetooth antenna though instead of those tiny dongles.

Politics Generations
I have a theory that the culture change is because of the internet. There is no trusted arbiter of truth any more with the diminishing role of traditional media. So, clickbait and fake news, as in factually fake news designed for clicks and emotional appeal, wins out. You know, It's the echo chamber thing, and the fact that people have become used to being abrasive to each other because communication is impersonal. So, attacking the media works. All you have to do is 'win' doesn't matter if you are correct.
