It’s a bummer that the government wasn’t able to stop the recent acquisition of activision, but hopefully that cooled Microsoft’s eagerness a little.

As a Canadian with a similar legal system to the UK, I’m shocked reading about the judicial overreach of the UK government and their attempt to squash dissent.
It’s been over a decade of torie rule in the UK. It’s hard to imagine what would be required for enough people in the UK to vote them out if it hasn’t happened yet.
For me, it’s 100% your first bullet. It looks like a fun game but no way am I paying $80 Canadian for it.
Aww man! Thanks. I played this as a kid and completely forgot about it. What a blast
In fact, in contrast to not harming people, it actually has the potential for a great boost in economic activity. Giving money/erasing debt for low income/middle income people tends to result in local spending. These people don’t hoard wealth like occurs when you give rich people or corporations tax cuts.
Not a manager currently but considering it as a growth pathway. I’m an engineer but not in software. In my area of focus there is very much a cap on how much money I can make as an engineer and management seems to be the only obvious route to increasing my pay. I love the technical work but I’m hoping I can carry that over in to management if I find the right role.
As a 38 year old who used to game a lot but stopped about 10 years ago, the steam deck has rekindled my love of gaming. The accessibility it offers, particularly with indie games has been wonderful. The deck is a more open and budget friendly version of the switch (to me at least).
I find triple a games try to do too much, combined with their virtually insatiable hunger for maximizing profit (through dlc, in game micro transactions, loot boxes, etc.) really turns me off of them.
That no matter what scientists and engineers try, when combusting fossil fuel, the exhaust smells like a terrible latrine.
I think that would spur a quick response from everyday citizens as to what they heat their homes with, or how they get around their cities.
