- Comment on Big Four consulting firms 'operating in the shadows for too long' as Senate committee demands new rules for government contracts 3 weeks ago:
I think PwC should have had to return whatever they’d charged the government for consultancy, as well as a massive fine on top of that. Governments around the world need to start giving penalties to corporations that actually deter them from doing the wrong thing.
- Comment on Starfield’s biggest update yet fixes its rubbish maps, adds custom difficulty and expands ship decoration 2 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Extreme conditions for renters described as 'needle in a haystack type stuff' as housing crisis deepens 3 months ago:
Yeah, replying “Get fucked” to a response that brings up a lot of good counter-arguments to your original point will certainly make you look like you were bringing up immigration in good-faith.
- Comment on Sam Kerr allegedly called police officer a ‘stupid white bastard’, source says 3 months ago:
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.
- Comment on YouTube will have fewer ad breaks on TV — but the ads are getting longer 6 months ago:
On top of the tracking within the ads themselves, you also have all of the general usage data that Google sells. They’re double-dipping.
