I have to say I’d love to see this done. In a simulation. From outside. It sounds like the equivalent of a car crash test for the entire state. Which bits come off first? Who dies and who gets away with lifelong injuries? How many infants get fired through the windscreen? Vote Reform and find out.

I think “considered” is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I’m pretty sure someone came up with it, maybe even Boris, and then he repeated it a bunch of times in front of semi-relevant people in a jokey-jokey way followed by an “…unless?”

I imagine nobody with any level of responsibility in actually producing such a raid considered anything apart from how to most politely say no to the prime minister.

Based on the article it’s still going to be something you have to request, so you should still be able to have your current setup unless your company gets so many requests it decides to standardise on 4long instead of 5.

This is true. It’s still an awful lot more flexibility though. And of course as none of this legislation is written yet, it could lean either way while enabling both.

I’m a big four day week stan and I never expected to see it pushed during this parliament. Obviously the end result is going to be heavily dependent on what they end up implementing, but this is potentially huge for many, many people.

I ran one on the other place if you want some ideas on how to format it. There’s also a lot of good books in the suggestions lists.

In the end I stopped because it felt like participation rates dwindled fast, but it did a good job at highlighting an interesting range of books.

Can’t believe the only strategy they have left is to buy pensioner votes at all cost.

Institute for Government has you covered.

This is death spiral shit. I probably look on national service more favourably than the average person and I know you cannot just throw it out as a desperate Hail Mary without building a huge amount of consensus.

They were pretty direct remakes with a few new bugs and a controversial art style. I was never a big DPP fan and the remakes failed to change my mind.

I do think any future remakes will be different though, i vaguely remember a story about ILCA who made BDSP and I don’t think they exist in the same form as they did when developing the game.

There’s a lot of potential options. Gen V remakes are next on the main series remake list. Let’s Go and Legends were both sort-of-mainline-ish games that would be about right for a sequel. I’m betting there’s still more DLC for SV. And wasn’t there a rumour about another Detective Pikachu movie?

Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.

I set up a play-money prediction market on whether this would happen, and it doesn’t look like many people have faith in Musk to pull this one off.

I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.

Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.

I’m with you, I’m a big nerd but rarely bounced so hard off a sci-fi show as I bounced off Fringe.

I had a second gen one, and it suffered less than the first, but definitely did suffer as it aged.

I loved mine, but sitting a year or two the flash memory had degraded to the point it was completely unusable, even just as a digital photo frame.

The small tablet market is still underserved today, I’m running an iPad mini, which is great, but it’s definitely a second-class citizen compared to the bigger iPads.

Was this game named by a Bojack Horseman character?

Embrace mobile gaming. Especially the classic Nintendo handhelds. I can rock my baby to sleep and play Pokémon Ruby on my GBA at the same time. Embrace RPGs and other games where reaction times don’t matter. If I’m sat in a chair with a sleeping child I can even play a game where reaction speed matters, like Tetris.

Get a flash cart so you don’t have to switch games or carry a library of carts with you. Keep it in your car for play if you’re out a lot. Oh, and get a decent modern screen mod so you can see the screen outside.
