Well done Andrew Wakefield, you colossal fucking twat.

I'm sure the last few Ubisoft games I got from Steam all installed UPlay before letting me run them anyway...

I'm not buying it because £45 is not a budget price for what feels like an indie game experience. I can wait for a sale on that, or more likely for it to go to PSN Extra. Still got plenty on my backlog.

Could also be they didn't read past the title of the award, tbh.

PS2 achieved a level of dominance we're unlikely to see again. An enormous leap over the previous generation, and had practically no competition for years. Seeing something like GTA3 for the first time was mind-blowing.

You are gonna be disappointed. I stole it and still wanted a refund.

I'm not out of space yet, but I still deleted it from my Jellyfin server out of principle.

I think it's the writing above all else that's a complete embarrassment.

Your own opinion is the only one that matters.

Unless you like Expendables 4. If you liked that you deserve prison.

It's that necessarily a good thing?

I remember suddenly needing a firewall on my PC back in the days of the Blaster worm.

Do we really want all those crappy IoT devices open on all ports to the general internet?

Not one that would be completely accurate.

The best I've seen was a measure of underemployment, in which somebody wants more money/better work, is actively looking, but can't get it. It would have to be through random surveys and extrapolate up, rather than something they can get from the benefits office.

That's like claiming you have more bread by cutting the slices thinner.

Unemployment stats are typically useless for other reasons. For example, this is the definition of unemployed.

https://www.bls.gov/cps/definitions.htm#unemployed

In the Current Population Survey, people are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria:

  • They were not employed during the survey reference week.
  • They were available for work during the survey reference week, except for temporary illness.
  • They made at least one specific, active effort to find a job during the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week (see active job search methods) OR they were temporarily laid off and expecting to be recalled to their job.

Done an hour of DoorDash or whatever? Homeless? Not unemployed. It's very much a meaningless stat and governments around the world game it all the time.

They've captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.

Gen Z can't afford £3k a year on insurance.

V, half of IV and Rogue One spark joy.

The rest, not so much.
