It’s extra funny considering the pace in Hot Fuzz is super snappy. And Hot Fuzz is definitely their masterpiece.

I learnt that over a decade ago.

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

For which version though?

I lost access to my original copy because I completely missed the Microsoft shenanigans of account transfering due to not playing for 10+ years.

Kind of feel cheated as I recently got the itch to play again and was unable.

Any recommendation of the best way to play Minecraft now? I’m not particularly keen on rebuying it :/

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.

Where do you download programs from?

Time to learn how to Linux, I guess…

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.

Lol. I mean, I get the reason that surrogacy can be exploitative. But considering the literal foundation of the religion… ‘Nuance? Never heard of her.’ says the Catholic Church.

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.

B.A.N.N.E.D.

No, they don’t know buddy, ha. It’s meant to be a non-serious rule for a non-serious community.

Uh… Uh… Uh…

I remodelled my baby’s mobile for exactly this reason. Seemed stupid to have the animals face up when baby is underneath, so I turned them round and made them detachable so baby could pull them off and play with them too.

Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they’re a dog-shit company. I hadn’t realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd… My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.

I think you’re overstating the significance of those edits and comments.

How so?
