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.

Where I live, even our winter time isn’t close to be aligned with sun time (GMT+1 though we’re basically on the Greenwich meridian). Summer time is off by two hours.

Problem is, our school/work/activity schedules have been made to adapt to that, so having days centered around actual sun midday would sound like crazy talk to people. It’s just because of how we already compensated for it.

In France we did switch last week. Almost nobody cares about going out for trick or treat, though.

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.

Incroyable que ça soit encore autorisé cette merde.

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

Yeah, I am not sure I can relate either. My favourite games on the NES and SNES when I was a kid are still games I sometimes replay and enjoy today.

Closest thing to the comic I could find would be Ecco the Dolphin, maybe. I had the PC version, and I finished it a few times back then, I was stubborn and a bit bored. Not that long ago I tried returning to it, and maybe try the second game… And wow, it feels like a chore to play.

But even back then, it was not a game I liked that much. I liked how it looked, the creatures you’d meet and the crazy plot, but gameplay already felt tedious and stupidly unforgiving.

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.

I’ve been playing mostly expeditions for a while (on PS4, occasionally VR : on a non-pro PS4, this is rough). I am getting a PC VR headset soon so I am waiting for that to double dip and make a clean save again.

Good thing is there are ways to unlock past expedition rewards on PC. I’d have no way to transfer them otherwise. They need to stop this limited time FOMO bullshit. I understand why the old expeditions themselves can’t be maintained but there should be ways to get the unlockable stuff.

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.

The bear from “The bear and the maiden fair” disagrees.

Well it’s likely, the expeditions make everyone go to the same spots and this one is particular is supposed to be done without hyperdrive, so everyone is going to visit the same 5 systems and their planets.

Ben on va espérer qu’il perde beaucoup d’argent alors.

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.
