Hello again!
I have returned as promised to bring you the good word in CompSoc life. A little quieter this week, but we'll be ramping back up again soon.

Gaming
Games continue to happen! Thank you to those of you who helped out with the Divinity Original Sin 2 multiplayer test. Though ultimately very chaotic, it does open the door for a potential proper game with more people which could be quite enjoyable!
Regardless, come along to the Discord on Friday for many many games, wonderful people to chat to and a great time.
Git Good
Thank you to everyone who listened in to the talk! If you missed it or would like to re-watch it, the talk is still available at the link.
Schedule
That's all from me this week, till next time.
