Gaming Culture Issue #2: Consoles | Computers | Community Celebrating the legacy of systems and the culture surrounding Gaming from the 1970's to now

What's this? A new video games magazine on Kickstarter? Looks interesting too.

Can someone explain to me why the Mac's App Switcher won't open a minimised window? It seems a ridiculous oversight to me, but it's been like that since forever.

Note to online drop-shipping companies. If I follow a link to your store, I expect to go straight to the shop page for the product in question. If I have to play a silly game like spinning a wheel of finding a pebble under one of three cups first, I go straight for the back button.

Whenever I'm having a really good day, I get out a stopwatch and see how long it takes people to zip or unzip their pants. It seems odd to some people, but my mom always said to time flies when I'm having fun.

Me too, though a big mug of tea is my beverage of choice.

'I refused to join the Israel Defence Forces - here is what happened' Tal is the first Israeli citizen to be imprisoned as a conscientious objector in the war.

A thought struck me today. Is TEMU the new Reader's Digest? When you're on their radar, it's impossible to get rid of them.

Thanks for the heads up. If it has a Mac release, Iโ€™ll cover it in Essential AppleUser Magazine.

My thought was he planned to make comments about the Gaza genocide, but the Beeb wouldnโ€™t have it.

I still have one too, but I haven't fired it up in years. Perhaps it's time I did.

I reacquainted myself with my 30-year-old Speccy +3, at my mumโ€™s house, and found the Crash computer cover in the box.
