The article is not about how the game shouldn’t be political (because this notion is absurd). It’s about how idiotic the treatment of the writer’s views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.

The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.

Not only nobody needs to do that trip that fast, but we’re not in the early 00’s anymore, and there has never been as many tools to communicate and collaborate remotely. So I’d expect a non-negligible part of these don’t even need to do the trip anymore if they want to save money and time.

The most vivid memory I have of this is the crazy title screen music (CPC version, not sure if every versions had it).

Probably why Tony Stark’s father is named Howard, too.

Cult of the Lamb has a blood moon ritual that makes everything gloomy and summons the ghosts of your dead followers.

You can harvest them for unique decorations.

The higher ups? Yeah, probably. This was clearly an attempt to embark their employees so they’d kickstart a hype. It didn’t work.

Ubisoft devs are probably mostly decent people, but the more we hear about the upper management, the worse.

I’m usually rather passionate about space exploration and stuff, but we don’t need to send people to Mars that bad.

There are 5 of them and they’re worth $63,000 because they said so. And they hope they can convince enough people of that so they can sell them quick and forget they ever existed.

Remember that time Ubi management tried to promote NFT to their employees and give some to them as a “bonus”? And then their own employees just told them to fuck off with that bullshit?

Ubisoft needs to crash and burn.

What do you find not tolerable in standard Firefox and what did this browser do that made it better?

I know firefox is rather memory heavy, but despite that it’s still my go-to browser, both for desktop and mobile.

Which are not, by far, most people. I am not sure why you’re bringing the subject of banks. Of course they’re shitty and mostly run by bastards. Okay.

But cryptomoney people are not banks, or groups of individuals. They’re individuals. And they’re in it because of the “get rich quick” scheme and push others to get into the pyramid’s lower levels, because that’s how they might get richer. So they’re either bastards or being conned, or probably both.

Proof of work is a power/hardware catastrophe, and proof of stake is entrusting power to the already rich again. Crypto is not a new economy model, it’s a bad subset of the old one with fancy fake ideals.

Last time I checked, most individuals are not, in fact, banks.

For all the talks about freedom and “decentralised” utopia the crypto bro cults spew all the time, they are really just obsessed with making absurd amounts of money fast. Their only motivation is greed.

Can’t say I’m surprised some regard Dubai as a goal. They only see the rich man’s club, they don’t care about how the sausage is made.

Well, good luck to Amazon trying to wipe my kindle remotely with black magic then.

It doesn’t have WiFi configured at all.

Got a very old kindle for free, from someone getting rid of it. No touch, no backlight, most basic thing ever. I only got my account on it to download a dictionary.

I am never buying anything from Amazon to read on it, but I’ve been using it quite a bit, only on calibre converted stuff. It was not too hard to set up, and once it’s done it’s just drag n drop.

Most sports gamers have very low expectations of what their game should be, often they barely buy any other video game, so it’s just a random money sink for them.

They don’t mind being fed the same crap with updated roster every year, and worse, lots of them probably don’t mind them becoming slot machines. Either because it’s their own unhealthy habit or because they are not using the ‘feature’ and not interested enough in the inner workings of games to see how harmful they are.

I mean, there were lots of multiplayer games when I grew up, before CoD or Halo, but still.

Doesn’t change that I dislike most of these.

SmileBASIC (cool programming language thing that has had versions on DS, 3DS, Wii U and Switch) supports usb keyboard and mouse on Switch.

Switch software can support USB mice, I hope that’s what they will be going for (even if they release an old-school SNES-like mouse to go with it).
