    Same. I also find myself actually reading things I wouldn't normally, as there is less daily content, and get quite engrossed.

  3. Comment on I found Frank Herbert’s Dune script. It’s hard to imagine a weirder film version of Dune than the one David Lynch released in 1984, but Frank Herbert found a way. Dune: Part Two is better. in ~movies

    Feature idea: When you click into a topic, can you add an option that also auto votes it? I do this manually, my reasoning is that if it sounds good enough to read I should vote it up. Clearly something that isn't on by default. Or is this a rubbish idea?

    Good counter points, and I guess I am a bit worn out with click bait and am reading too much into it. But I do think it's nice to have a bit of personality behind a link post.

    Just wanted to say thank you for actually posting a comment.

    I get a bit bored of just seeing a YouTube URL posted with nothing else. Same for any link really. I tend to just ignore them as spam posts.

    If people feel it's worthwhile to post then also say why and start the commentary.

    There was that windows update though, so technically not the same platform. Could be worth seeing what changed.

    Also, once you did the 100% load testing, did you reboot during that phase?

    Could be that you just had a perfect moment in time on the PC

    I guess most of the issues for gamers is around Windows being, primarily, an office based operating system. I don't know the percentages, but I assume it's in the high nineties for being installed in an office environment?

    I have often wondered why Microsoft doesn't have a boot option for "gaming mode" which has only the basic services required for running games, perhaps as a boot or reboot option, and has a very limited desktop or even only a dashboard style interface.

    Maybe things are just too interconnected to allow for this.

    Thought this was a bit daft, at first. Then started to get into it and played it loads. A really good take on the original.

    In my experience, having to go back and forth between screens in order to write a good reply usually just results in my abandoning the effort.
