Common: Actor, Component, Decoration, GameObject, Prop
Uncommon: Creature, Doodad, Gadget, Zone

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
