I learnt that over a decade ago.

Don’t buy a Ubisoft, EA, or frankly any big publisher game.

Me and my wife… Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh…

I dunno, it’s okay - but I just don’t get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I’d really recommend checking a Let’s Play of it before trying it.

It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you’re both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you’d give up on it too.

TIL thanks.

What’s the difference?

Cleaner/clearer joke delivery would be:

Counting crows is just murder by numbers.

In my non-comedically talented opinion, of course.

Anyone that expected the current British government to do anything a government is meant to do… Well… Let me introduce you to the past 14 years of disappointment.

The trouble is the upfront capital though, but at the same time another publisher would surely bite at the thought of getting a talented studio’s staff in one go?

I mean, yeah… There’s no such thing as being an ethical billionaire.

If reviews don’t flip back to positive in response (seeing as they only went negative in anticipation of this policy being enforced), then we have no way of indicating our dissatisfaction next time Sony do something undesirable.

But don’t you see how doomerism contributes to the problem?

Evil triumphs when good people do nothing, but there are more good people than evil.

The trouble is, evil is great at rallying evil and demoralising good. That’s why we have to fight back.

Positive change is possible if we work together.

Stop. Please stop. Doomerism compounds the problem, it is not a neutral stance.

Has irreparable damage already been done? Yes.

Will it be worse if we don’t do anything as soon as possible? Yes. And each moment that we don’t do the thing, it gets a little bit worse.

But each moment we do do the thing, it gets a little bit better.

The Earth will relatively be 1.5°, likely 2°C hotter, regardless of what actions are now taken. But 2°C hotter is far, far preferable to 4°C.

Everything we do as individuals and societies matters. I understand it feels daunting, and I’m not really advocating for you to drive less or eat less meat, because ultimately these changes won’t be driven by individuals making the choices.

However, please please please support and push, protest, fight for societal changes for us collectively to drive less, eat less meat, and corporate carbon taxation.

Sorry, you’re quite right - I misread it to begin with.

This paper suggests you’re spot on that they’re not as profitable as other large companies, but they’re still making an awful lot of money on top of the necessary costs.

Except as highlighted, if the drug didn’t make a return on investment it wouldn’t be made. That can be true for government funded research, it’s not necessary to have a profit margin on top.

Based on my tumbles with the apex predator that is my wife, yes - we tall people are very vulnerable to attack.

No I have not. Is that a North American thing?

Shh, I have successfully distracted the masses.
