Will someone PLEASE think of the shareholders?!

Fuck the lot of them. Shop around for the best deal that doesn’t try to screw you over.

It’s creeping back in the UK here too. I think hybrid works best for me, can collaborate 2 or 3 times a week and stay at home and be more productive to actually DO the work.

35 days hols per year, would be 27 or something but they give us the English bank holidays as part of our allocation (am Scottish but it’s UK company).

It’s basically the gigachad of the factory world.

Yup they reinvested a lot of the oil money back into their country and population whereas we in the UK (Scotland) had it squandered.

Honestly I’ve not experienced any on either of them!

Switched from gmail to Protonmail and Outlook to Tuta.io and love it! Companies that put privacy and the individual first.

Or…the fun…? | ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I’d imagine some pretty fun shenanigans with a drunk force user.

Good game, fun with a tone similar to the Obsidian Fallout game. Would like deeper relationships with shipmates (including ADA) and third person view.

Have barely touched Twitter since Muskification ruined it.

Threads is okay but Mastodon would be brill with more interaction.

True enough.

Will be interesting to see whatever they do with it, hopefully it continues to be third person like TW3 and not Cyberpunk.

I think there must be lore friendly ways to introduce diversity to a character creation system. Zerrikania has matriarchs and dark skin for example

Fair enough, I couldn’t find any reference one way or the other except for presumption of the humans by humans part.

Though Ciri does show a way to be a female Witcher trainee with no signs but her own powers. Maybe you could choose a Lodge sorceress, an elven rogue style, a dwarven warrior or Witcher so they have their own weapons and skills etc.

I’m just spitballing here but as long as the game is well crafted and has Marcin Przybyłowicz do the music I am sold!

Agreed. Blood and Wine was a fine ending, let him rest.

With any luck there will be some sort of character creation that is fully voiced. Maybe even allowed to choose an elf or dwarf, AFAIK there’s no mention that it’s a human exclusive genetic manipulation.

But I’d be happy with a straight male/female choice like Mass Effect or Cyberpunk or AC Valhalla where they are customisable but still voiced.

Or give me one character but make them compelling. Difficult thing will be they will always be compared to Geraldo

Depends on the chips/fries and what the sauce is. Sometimes I want just a wee bit to add a kick, other times I want to be face pounded by some cheesy garlic goodness

I enjoy Mastodon as a Twitter replacement. I share whatever nonsense is in my head and react to other peoples nonsense too.

Following hashtags is a great way to find like minded people and because there is no monetisation there are no companies or promoted tweets etc.

I don’t think it’s on the fediverse but Squabbles has been a terrific Reddit replacement for me.
