As May (and Spring!) crumbles into dust before our very eyes we are presented by both June AND Summer (officially at least). Both because I can, and the fact that its a LONG lasting part of my personal history, I'm designating the next 3 months as 'The Summer of Gaming' here @ SaLT. That means that the keen-eyed amongst you will notice a 'slight' increase in game or gaming related posts here. Non-gamers need not worry however! There will still be more than enough posts for you to laugh at, muse about and roll your eyes over. Let the games begin!

But only to those who believe their bs.
Indeed. That's why "they" don't like an informed and educated public. Reading, and by extension knowing stuff, is resisting! To the LIBRARY!!!! [grin]
Interesting!
I'm sure that you'll spot some/most of the references......... [grin]
As their president said the other day.
We'll see....our gaming preferences vary slightly! ;-) Speaking of:

You may find this of interest. A guy tries to find 40 battles that tell the story of WW2 and play them in video games.
Absolutely. I miss when Facebook was this little start-up, all shiny and new. You had to have a college email address to join, and it rolled out to college campuses slowly but surely. Now it's a cesspool.
That must have been before my time. But - I loved FB when I first started, it was so nice to be in touch with people who wouldn't otherwise because they were no writers. I always say, at the beginning it was like meeting people in their homes for coffee. Now it's a political battlefield. Who can shout loudest and promote the weirdest opinions?
I'm still thankful I never joined - despite being badgered (constantly!) by friends.... [grin]
Well, working and living in an international environment, you constantly lose friends who move back home again - abroad. This was a lovely way to stay in touch.
Oh, I can understand the (many) advantages... It just never appealed to me.
I found that with my brothers who never moved from their area, whose friends never moved from their area. If you happen to run into them while shopping, you don't need Facebook.
Yeah, back when it first started it was so much better. There were even separate ones for college students and high school students, but they allowed crossover when they realized that people in high school had college friends and vice versa. I joined in 2005, it only came to my university in I think November of 2004.
Like Sarah, I joined in the early days when it was JUST college students and you needed an .edu email address to get in. It really went downhill after the "timeline" was introduced, because it came this engagement-for-ads engine instead of just a place to chat with friends. These days I use it for messenger and to stay on top of local and regional events, but I'm aggressive about curating my feed by unfollowing most of my friends and blocking pages that facebook inserts into the feed. Buyers' remorse has led to me not getting on board with other stuff since, like tiktok, snapchat, etc.
I think that the major thing that stopped me joining was the fact that most of the people who suggested it to me I saw regularly IRL anyway - some of them nearly every day. So I couldn't see the point. After reading a bit about it, and talking to users, I'm even more against joining - and that was before places like Twitter became as toxic as I've heard they've become.
Plus I just don't have that many real (as opposed to on-line) friends, so.....
I doubt I would have joined in such a case. I got three request from friends who had moved away and I thought, that's a good way to stay in touch. And it was, for a while. Now we e-mail each other.
I joined in 2009.
Sorry, I meant I wouldn't have joint in your case.
