  1. Two monitors?

    I used to also wonder about how much was really gained with having a second monitor. But I wouldn't want to go back to just having one now. Typically it is really useful for multitasking. I can watch videos on one screen while playing games on another. This can be for recreational videos, or...

  2. Are bad words bad?

    I think it really depends on context, there can be words that can carry different implications depending on what context they are being used within. So I don't think words will always have moral values outside of the contexts within which they get their meanings. Although this is essentially the...

  3. Best Video Game Movie

    I am not really sure what my favourite would be, as like you mention there have been quite a few. I used to really like the Resident Evil movies, although it has been a long time since I have watched any of them. I also quite enjoyed the Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest movies when I saw them more...

  4. Do you own a PS5 yet?

    I managed to pick one up just over a year ago. I was fortunate enough to be in the cafeteria at work when I overheard coworkers talking about how a New Zealand website had some in stock. So I checked and sure enough, they did. So I ordered their package deal which came with an extra controller...

  5. Last Game/Match Watched?

    NRL Eels vs Rabbitohs, the Rabbitohs have a bad habbit of putting both of the teams I support to the sword. They had won the previous 6 games against the Eels and convincingly so with them all being by 14 or more. Last night the Eels got one back with an exciting 36-16 win. 😁😁🥰

  6. What game are you playing?

    Final Fantasy VII Intermission, I just finished the story for the dlc. It was a lot more interesting than I was expecting it to be.

  7. What Are You Currently Reading?

    I just finished Confronting the Margaret Mead Legacy: Scholarship, Empire, and the South Pacific. I have now started reading Rights, Cultures, Subjects and Citizens.

  8. Anyone loves Digimon?

    I am a fan of the Digimon anime, I have enjoyed all the series of it which I have watched so far. I think I own the first four or five seasons on DVD. They are packed away at the moment due to lack of space. I have at least two series that I haven't watched yet though, Ghost Game and Universe...

  9. Advocacy Group Warns "Race Based Medical Training" Will Result in "Race Based Care"

    Without knowing the particulars of what they are proposing it is hard to say. But I agree that there is an issue when it comes to delivery of healthcare and steps need to be taken to address institutional racism. This isn't a problem that is unique to England, as we also have issues with it here...

  10. Should science in high school be optional?

    Yes, I absolutely agree that sciences should be required at high school. I equally apply this to both the natural and social sciences as I think both are crucial to gain a solid foundation. I think a lot of issues which come about in conversations come from people lacking a foundational...

  11. RPGs or FPSs?

    I easily prefer RPGs. Find them to be much more engaging and since I grew up preferring them, they have the whole nostalgic appeal to them too.

  12. XBOX or PlayStation? Choose one!

    I have always preferred PlayStation, as their titles tend to be more appealing to me. With things like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, while I love those series, I can quite happily play them on PC. So don't need to get an XBox for them. Also this thread totally forgot the Switch.

  13. Too old to play video games?

    I don't believe you can ever be too old to play games. With recent trends we are seeing gaming becoming much more accessible too. This applies both to an increase of accessibility options within games and a wider variety of platforms on which to play them. There have also been groups which have...

  14. Posting fatigue

    Yeah, I think it would be fair enough to say that I get fatigue from posting. I was going to initially reply to this thread making the case that I didn't experience this. But when I reread what I had written, I had essentially just described exactly that, myself experiencing posting fatigue...

  15. What game are you playing?

    Which ones?😮😮

  16. Science Is Imploding Thanks To Politics...

    Science and politics have always had a relationship with each other. That climate science has political implications and connections is nothing new. The nature of climate change and its geopolitical and historical connections mean that it is by definition going to be an incredibly politically...

  17. My fav type of learning material is ...

    I definitely lean more towards books. Although the others can be quite helpful too.

  18. Combine two games into one?

    Final Fantasy and Dynasty Warriors. I am already a fan of the Dynasty Warriors spinoffs and would love a Final Fantasy one!

  19. What game are you playing?

    Bahaha, no idea how I missed this. 😂😂 I am now playing the Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster. Just at the very start of the game.

  20. Pokemon GO

    I never really played it much when it first came out, but a few weeks ago I downloaded it and started playing it. It helps that my two flatmates play it, so I will probably play it for the foreseeable future. It helps that it is quiet, since I can take gyms quite easily hahaha.
