The laws against sympathy strikes were passed by Thatcher’s government. The Labour Party were in power from 1997 to 2010 but didn’t repeal those laws.

The only outrage I’m reading seems to be in the comments. Is it really so bad to think about how the games you play are made? And that some of the decisions made during the creation process might have unintended consequences and say something the creators didn’t mean to say?

Is there a phrase to describe something that’s cynical to the point of absurdity? I get that the world can be a disappointing place - but is it really that hard to believe that a guy made something for his own enjoyment, it became more popular than he could have imagined and then someone offered him a lot of money so h…

Even if these sites are past their heyday, the complaints in the comments are still the same as they have been for years.

Especially when this is all likely staged anyway

I assume a big chunk of the funding for this comes from Gala Games - which according to their about page is headed by one of the co-founders of Zynga (Farmville etc.).

So I assume a bunch of idiots investors have been drawn in by that connection, convinced that NFTs are going to be the next big thing in mobile gaming.…

Same, I know everyone’s saying they aren’t surprised by this in the slightest, but I’m somewhat disappointed. I’d always seen Molyneux as over-enthusiastic and with a bad habit of talking about concepts he’d like to explore rather than features that would actually make it into his games. But maybe he was just a…

Fair enough, I wasn’t aware of that. I haven’t been following news about the campaign too closely.

ODST was ‘open world’ in a sense (though obviously on a much smaller scale) and as far as I can remember you also could choose what order you did some of the missions in, you could also go back and replay individual missions through the main menu. I don’t really see why they wouldn’t be able to implement this at a…

It was possible in ODST through the main menu. They’re nowhere near each other in terms of scale, I’m sure, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to give players the option to replay individual missions.

It’s not quite as bad as it was in 3 and 4 (you start with flairs and AA missiles at least) but it’s still basically the same approach

“What is the most damaging conspiracy theory in history?”

Shame about the real people that will be affected if this doesn’t work out.

Are people actually going to spend this $30? Or are they going to hold onto it, hoping that the price skyrockets?

Always fun to read bad IP law takes. I think my personal favourite is when people confuse trademarks with copyright. People that think invoking the magic phrase “FAIR USE!” automatically exempts them is a close second.

It sucks that the time spent on this has effectively been in vain and realistically the maps’…

Then I apologise profusely and will always think of ‘that guy that has no problem with this’ whenever I play through Mass Effect 2 again.

The one on Noveria? I remember being able to bypass that with omni-gel, but it has been over a decade since I last played it. I think it’s meant to be resetting a computer core or some other sci-fi sounding problem like that, but the puzzle itself is called Towers of Hanoi and it’s probably easy enough to find a guide…

Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?

That takes me back.
