Totally agree. It’s a PR/marketing fail more than anything.. I am their target audience, just a shame I only found out about and bought the game after reading this article.

Unless this whole “closing the studio down” is a clever PR stunt to get cynics like me to be interested in a game the rest of the gaming community…

Same. Ceres looks like it is covered in lumpy warts to me, even though I know those are craters.

And are those patches blue or gold...

Agreed. Also there is an assumption that if you were in the Potterverse, you would be a wizard, when in all likelihood you would actually be one of the muggle 99%, kept in blissful ignorance by an elite who acquired enormous power through simple virtue of their birth. For all we know were are in the Potterverse, kept…

Sadly, in the UK it is 140315, which I don't think is anything day :/

Yeah my first solution crossed the matchsticks. That seemed a little too easy so I looked at the "bigger hint" and I came to the same conclusion - there is a more elegant (but equally valid and straightforward) solution.

Manchester UK is a fairly modest city standards today, but it does have the dubious honour being the World's first industrialised city.

In the mid 19th century, Manchester was the centre of the World's textile industry, much as places in India and Bangladesh are today. The sudden growth and development of the city was…

I am enjoying not only this puzzle but some of the other discussions of pirate logic in the comments.

Assuming that the mathematical solution proposed (that the even numbered pirates 2,4,6 and 8 would be offered one gold by pirate 10, the fiercest of the bunch) holds true, its interesting to consider what would happen b…

I have a friend who wanted make a video game about Enceladus. Took me about half way through the conversation before I realised he was talking about the moon not the Mexican snack.

Thank you!

Forgive my ignorance, but seeing as I may wish to discuss this with people in the coming weeks, how exactly is Ceres pronounced? I've always assumed it was a single syllable like "Sears" but I am terrified I may be wrong and make a fool of myself.

I think if he was British the line would be "reads the Daily Mail" rather "eats the Daily Mail", as reading the Daily Mail is pretty much the stupidest thing you can do.

I would like to second this question, and ask if there is any research that has been done into the affects on children living in polyamorous homes.

I ask because I currently looking at raising a child in a multi-parent environment, but have faced considerable prejudice from other adults, including medical…

A friend of mine bumped into the game's Devs at a indie conference once, and raised some similar points with them face to face, most notably the dissonance between the grim subject matter and the cartoony nature of the game. He was interested if they intended the game as cutting satire, making a hard hitting serious…

It is also because when the escalator is not moving, the first and last few steps are shallower than the rest, because of the way they flatten out at the top and bottom. This stops your muscle memory from working properly on the steps as you anticipate the step height being the same all the way up, as it would be on a…
