I enjoyed that game. Not sure how it was ever pushed out as a full release rather than a Net Yaroze style special, but fair play to them.
Kurushi (as it was known in the UK and Europe) is like rocking horse shit now. A nice little treasure if you find one in your collection.
I suppose the TV licence in the UK is a sort of paywall, even if it is made of swiss cheese and enforced by folk with all the legal standing of Larry the Head Mouser or whatever moggy it is now.
I pay it, but I’m loathed to now. Not because I watch any live TV or BBC programming, but because I use the BBC News site a metric fucktonne and I suppose I justify it to myself as funding the BBC News department rather than Graham Norton’s salary.
Maybe I’ll fuck it off though. I do fancy a letter war with Capita or whoever managed the enforcement these days.
I’m guessing you’ve got a study that backs that assertion up as well?
Thank you for your public service announcement!
I know this a gross oversimplification, but:
“Remote working benefit those with a reason to stay home, but doesn’t for those who don’t have a reason to stay home” seems to be the general idea of the headline.
edit: I think this is the study they’re talking about, please double check the source before quoting: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36718392/
ain’t no harm skibidi ohio guy, don’t got time fo the low-rizz crowd, no cap
If I could have crowbarred “moist” in there somewhere too, I’d have set the lexical tiktok on fire.
…if there is even one, don’t come at me TNETENNBA fans!
Yeah it’s a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I’m quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards… but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.
I haven’t, no - and you’re probably right, yes.
I worry that if I start playing KSP then my other half and kids won’t see me again for six months because it does sound fucking awesome and highly rewarding.
Nope, I’m a simple man. I play through a couple of Doom WADs each summer in the academic off-season and that’s my gaming appetite satiated.
I’m surprised I strung so many together coherently to be honest!
Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.
Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.
Science is fuckin mint, man.
Well fuck me, every day’s a school day. Thank you.
Not very well I should imagine, but it is a symbolic move and the rumblings of things to come from other organisations.
I should imagine direct imports to Ireland from Israel will stop… but as soon as the goods enter the Schengen zone elsewhere, there’ll be very little to stop them without controls at the zone entry point (unlikely) or inspections at the Irish border (unlikely again).
Happy to be corrected though.
The BBC seems to annoy the extremea of folk in the UK. The left claim it to be a Tory mouthpiece; the right claim it to push left agenda.
If you’ve got the opposing ends moaning like fuck then I figure they’re doing something right.
(edit: BBC, not NBC, no idea why my phone’s gone full American)
I saw the link before the comment and wondered what an “ovement” was.
Computerphile did a wonderful feature worth ten minutes of your time - going into surface level detail of how some AI models put ethics to one side to achieve results.
It’s not just AI and it’s something humans can do too, but it is a bit unsettling (from both parties, in retrospect).
Mouse look was revolutionary.
I tried to play Half-Life Uplink with the right directions of looking mapped to 789, 4 and 6, 123. It wasn’t very intuitive.
That said, I played Quake 1 with lookup and lookdown bound to PgUp and PgDown, and Quake II on PlayStation with lookup and lookdown mapped to L1 and R1.
Looking back, that was a wild few years.
Somewhere in the North Sea: “Kapitan-Leytenant, we have discovered a new experimental craft called HMS ShitBird, appears to have undetectable propulsion systems and carries a significant biological payload”
Somewhere in Thames Water HQ: “yeah mate we fixed the blockage, we just managed to dislodge Barry from Kettering’s massive jobby and let it out into the sea”
No, but I suspect the last line qualifies it’s inclusion, where her"status" and presence in the media field gave her an opportunity to amplify her story and provide the visibility it needed to get her freed.
It could be a translation thing. In certain parts of France, “ados” is a bit of a catch-all term for anyone in teenager or young adults years. It’s not strictly defined, but would explain the presence of the word in an English translation.
