But please don't spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren't that good I don't want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).

You're not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!

I believe in you!

I don't use a controller, but I bought two copies for friends that do! Keep going, make more games, add features! (Like maybe keyboard controls for us dinosaurs.)

I believe in you!

Whats the game? :)

Whats the game? :)

Yup. When we went to buy a TV I knew this was happening because the smart TVs with wifi and extra hardware and software were cheaper than the dumb TVs. Nothing is free, I knew they had to be doing this shit.

Yes I get that now, in Australia the term "private nurse" is used exclusively as far as I know to refer to private in home nurses.

If I google "private nurses Australia" it is clear this is the case, and a company I have worked through is one of the top results.

If I google "private nurses Canada" the results all refer to agency nurses like the above article.

My mistake, I made an assumption without actually reading the article before commenting.

For those interested, here is the archive.org link: https://ia800502.us.archive.org/34/items/CivilDefenceHandbookNo.10AdvisingTheHouseholderOnProtectionAgainst/hb10.pdf

Very neat old booklet.

Ah, do facilities hire private nurses? Like traveling nurses? I had only heard the term "private nurse" as in one who is privately hired to work in the home.

Edit: Ah, they do indeed, I have now read the article, apologies. I read private nurses and assumed it meant in home nurses. It seems in Canada the term applies to travel nurses or agency nurses.

This shit is getting old. I was in the Novavax trial here in Australia and one of the things the clinicians said that stuck with me is that they were "surprised that there wasn't much interest".

See, Novavax is a traditional vaccine, not an MRNA vaccine. It is (and has been) approved everywhere.

They expected that all the antivaxxers who were afraid of "changes to their DNA" would come in for this traditional vaccine.

Except they didn't. Because it isn't about MRNA, it's about being part of a group, part of people who "understand you" and echo and validate the fears you have about living in this world.

This is killing people.

That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.

Odd, I don't recall private lobbies being a thing, and a quick google shows lots of people asking for them and a few "workarounds". Perhaps they are a recent addition or a console thing?

I bought Red Dead Redemption for myself and three friends, super excited about the game, the lore. I had never spent that much money on a game.

We all played through the single player tutorial, and finally into the open world. We meet up and begin exploring and trying to complete quests when suddenly one of us just ... drops dead.

Then another is hit by a meteor and caught on fire?

I am thrown up into the sky.

An alien ship?! Appears and messes with us for a while. I try begging in pub chat for the hacker to please leave us so we can play, which seems to goad them further. This continued for an hour.

A quick look around the internet told us that this was par for the course for RDR and GTA and Rockstar couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it.

We ended up refunding all the games through steam. Sad times.
