It’s basically a 4chan /pol/ meetup disguised as a political party.

Lua is as easy as python, potentially easier. I don’t think writing a one-off script with it to solve a specific problem is a nuts idea.

I’m sure that people only share the articles that are worth reading from conservative home but I’ve read a couple this year that are quite good like this one.

I didn’t think that the Tory wipeout, where they become the third largest party, was likely to happen. Pollsters never seem to have been able to solve the shy Tory effect.

However, seeing Reform implode like this is making me more certain that the Torys will still be the official opposition. Rishi will also benefit from the sympathy factor from being the direct target of the abuse. He also gets to look more statesmanlike when condemning gutter politics from Reform.

Agree that the actual monster designs looked dull. Funnily enough in a “new pokemon” kind of way. Other monster collecting games like SMT and Digimon seem to manage to produce more interesting monsters/pals/demons.

Milky bars are on me, lads

SMTV:V is the best value re-release that atlus have ever done. The different paths you can choose at the start of the game are radically altered. I thought when I was playing the new route that it would be like a Persona 5: Royal situation but it is closer to SMTIV:A. Such good value getting two games in one.

I’d enjoy that scenario as a Lib Dem member

Have they ever got the physics right on a SMB game when releasing on a non-gamecube platform?

YAAAAAS

Dog Tooth was also pretty uncomfortable viewing!

Idk I found Poor Things challenging but ultimately it’s supposed to be a piece of art as opposed to like a moral authority on human sexuality. The setup is so clearly outlandish that it’s hard to claim it has an opinion on real world sex issues.

Some of the scenes were a bit sexploitation-y though, like there was a definite male gaze aspect to the direction. I’m more sympathetic to the description of it being crass or a bit tasteless in some places as opposed to describing it as morally problematic.

Control is a really special game. I only got around to playing it last year but it was a wild ride!

I hope Alan Wake 2 goes on sale later this year so I can scoop that up. I got about halfway through AW1 (after getting it for ~£2 on steam) but the gameplay was too repetitive for me in the end.

Glasgow are in the URC final tomorrow. LFG!

No problem! They can just get Tony Sewell to write the next report

They probably can do this due to the ludicrous amount of people who work for the government here. I saw a stat the other day that said 1/3 working people in Edinburgh work for the government in some capacity.

I think what has been enlightening about this election is seeing how many ‘own goals’ the Reform party are scoring now that they’ve been given enough rope to hang themselves with. It reminds me of when they let Nick Griffon on Question Time back in 2009/10 and he absolutely withered under scrutiny.

Yes, there will be a hardcore of people who are going to vote for Reform - maybe even because of gaffes like this. However this is repellent to the wider electorate. Imagine if they were semi-competent and just ran as populist Tories without letting the mask slip immediately. Personally, I’d be much more concerned.

Last update: I am loving all of the new additions. They fixed everything I had gripes about and improved it beyond what I was hoping for. I love the classic trope of travelling with the chaos and law reps! The plot also deviates a lot - I’m level 53 and have been doing all the side quests, just about finished the (new) third area and the whole thing is coming together so nicely.

SMT4 is my favourite (and SJ 2nd) but I think 5 might be my 3rd favourite… we’ll need to see how it ends.

I don’t really rate zsh personally. I find the additional features/syntactic sugar it adds are a poor tradeoff for lower portability. I also end up changing the settings in my zshrc to make it behave more like bash.

Amazing! I love how traditional religious art scales figures according to their imporance. It seems counterintuitive to our modern eye that focuses on perspective but there is an undeniable logic to, “most important thing should be largest”.

Extinction Rebellion would be the famous example of a group that has publically distanced themselves from JSO’s methods. They believe in protest but simultaneously are wary of alienating people by taking their stunts too far.

Actually I had a friend from uni who was in XR and he helped organise a protest at Canning Town tube station where they clambered ontop of the train in rush hour to try to stop it. He was saying later that he thought they probably made a bad call picking that specific part of the city.
