Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th April, 2019.

29th April, 2019.

Yes, it’s true: we’ve found something out!

I think I’ve mentioned this before: but don’t quote me on that!   My memory’s as fallible as anything else, these days … 

At ANY rate … 

I think I’ve mentioned that my nephew, Jude, asked I could install a game called Forza Street on his mother’s computer.

Alongside Fortnite Battle Royale.

We managed to get it installed: only for Ruth and Jude to find later, that the game kept crashing.

~≈§≈~

Which Jude found a little disappointing, to say the least.

But … ?

The least I could do was have a look, last night — Sunday’s is usually the big family dinner night — at Ruth’s computer, to see what could be the issue.

As it turned out … ?

The big problem was simply the respective games’ minimum requirements.

With — at least in the case of Forza Street — the processor speed causing serious issues.

Well … 

At least we know what to look for: and can possibly persuade Jude that having a word with Santa about possibly Xboxes may be an idea.

Frankly, though … ?

For someone more familiar with macOS, than Windows, finding the specifications is a fiddly job*!

Here’s a thought …

“Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they’re rapping. It’s easier to try to censor some kid who’s swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.”

Willie Nelson‡, born April 29, 1933.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Have a good day.

†        I’ve said it before, Debbi: the fact you’re still here, after all this time?   Is something I’m eternally grateful for!

‡        I’m convinced Willie Nelson and David Bradley are hiding something …
