The real conspiracy is that there’s only one recognised holiday per year for most species on the planet, except for humans that get several per month. Seems to me that humans are trying to keep other species from having enough free-time to plot the revolution.

I also believe a lot of the hate stemmed from an undercurrent of real-life red-pill misogynists, but that’s not to say all criticism was invalid.

The social commentary around She-Hulk was wild. The fact that certain parts of the fanbase were losing their minds over a silly post-credits twerk with Meghan the Stallion was both unsettling and entertaining to witness. If anybody had a problem with that but not the recurring America’s ass joke in Endgame, they really need to go and take a good long look at themselves.

Thanks for this, I’m going to try this out on my way home. My main use for Gmaps is to determine the quickest way to and from work during peak hour, so keen to see how Magic Earth’s traffic data compares.

Trebuchets aren’t really a tool for defence. They have tremendous range and aren’t exactly speedy to load, aim, and launch.

Unless you meant defence in the same way that a country’s military operations are known as “defence forces” regardless of intent, in which case carry on.

Doubt it’ll go to court, he’ll probably just make a public pseudo-apology and that’ll be that. But if it did go to court, I imagine the defence will argue that by not explicitly condoning, and in some instances fully supporting the protests, they were “encouraging” any criminal damage that may have occurred. I would hope that argument wouldn’t work, but a lot has happened in the last six months that I previously would have hoped would never happen so who knows at this point.

Hifi Rush is in Humble Choice this month, and I noticed they have a redemption deadline which is a bit out of the ordinary. So it’s possible it’ll get delisted, or maybe Humble is just playing it safe with the keys they have.

I haven’t played Starfield yet, but from what I’ve read it seems to be the next step in the procedurally generated games that Bethesda is heading towards, and I really hope it makes them rethink things for their next game.

While I’m sure that there are people out there who enjoy the fact that there are infinite fetch quests in Skyrim, it’s hardly a feature that anyone really raves about. In fact, the Minutemen quests in FO4 were often the subject of ridicule when the game came out. But at least in those two games, the Radiant quests had the possibility of taking you to an interesting location you hadn’t been to before.

Like you said, one of the key features in any Bethesda game is the exploration, but the more they rely on procedural generation, the less interesting exploration becomes, and the gameplay and writing of their games just isn’t strong enough without the finely crafted world-building they’re known for.

Do we really need a third stadium that will sit empty for most of the year? Especially since it looks to be the more expensive option than a Gabba refresh, even taking the projected displacement costs into account.

I think they need to talk about what they would plan to do with the Gabba if a Victoria Park stadium were to go ahead. It would be more justifiable if they plan to convert it to affordable housing, for example.

Yeah, replying “Get fucked” to a response that brings up a lot of good counter-arguments to your original point will certainly make it look like you were bringing up immigration in good-faith.

For context, the conservative party here in Aus is pushing hard for a transition to nuclear power, rather than renewables.

At least here in Australia, we believe in the right for a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of coal mining, and renewable energy threatens that right.

Now that the world is turning away from coal as much as possible, we’re now pivoting to allow a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of uranium mining, and renewable energy also threatens that.

I never owned a NES, but had a SNES and my brother also borrowed his friend’s Mega Drive (Genesis for those of you in the US) from time-to-time. All of us would blow the connectors on the cartridges, regardless of console. If anything went wrong with a game, the first step to troubleshoot was to take the cartridge out and give it a good blow.

It was never about how the console actually worked, a five year-old isn’t going to logically think about that. It was all about a perceived performance increase by doing it.

Nuclear isn’t green energy though. It’s greener than coal, but it still involves mining and the waste produced by the process isn’t exactly environmentally friendly.

Nuclear is absolutely a viable option in other countries, but we have better alternatives in Australia. There are only a few reasons the Coalition has latched onto nuclear energy after decades of campaigning against; it still involves mining for their donors, it’ll take awhile to rollout which means mining coal stays viable for longer, and it’s another thing they can argue over with other parties, further prolonging the rollout of actual renewable energy.

Is that a slur? It has a racial component, sure, but I hardly think it is actually a racist comment, and definitely not a slur. And to label it as “racially motivated harassment” is laughable.

If this is actually what Kerr said, it’s pretty indicative of the systemic issues that have been popping up in the UK for awhile now. They’ve been travelling further and further down the fascist highway since Brexit.

At least with Metallica, we could laugh at the irony of a band regularly releasing songs about anarchy crying about piracy.

If it helps, there’s very little that carries over between the two games. Without any spoilers, you lose your gear at the start of the BG2, most of which doesn’t carry over anyway. You will start with the level you finished BG1 with, but BG2 boosts brand new characters to a certain level anyway. And I don’t think the games track decisions made throughout like modern RPGs do.

That said, I played it years before Beamdog released that interlude DLC, so maybe things have changed in their Enhanced releases of the games.

Not available in Aus either, and other Kobo bundles have been. Probably a publisher issue.

I’ve been able to strip the Kobo DRM out of a couple of book bundles using Calibre. Haven’t bought this one yet, but I’d assume there wouldn’t be a problem.

They’re still working on Daredevil though. They had to replace the showrunners because they were developing it as an episodic court drama rather than a Daredevil show to follow on from the Netflix series.
