So Wolfenstein is fair game because that’s clearly satire, with roided up, mecha Nazis, but this is bad because… robot Thatcher? Sure, that makes sense.
Dvds still account for around half of physical media sales. Far from obsolete.
I’m visiting Naples at the moment with my Italian boyfriend, and I remarked to him that Naples has a lot of places that people can just hang out without spending money, something that the UK has lost. Part of this is due to the climate, but also corporatism hasn’t hit Italy as hard as other western countries. It really is a shame.
Mastadon has definitely improved it’s user onboarding process. When I first tried, and failed, to use it 3 years ago it was awful. Signing up a year ago was a painless process. It may not be fully ready for the mainstream just yet, but it’s definitely getting there.
From what I heard, this is the result of risk aversion. The poor editing is because they cut out a lot of the violence that was shot and didn’t have anything to fill the runtime with, hence the reshoots. I can’t wait for the inevitable What Happened on this film to see how bad it was.
I’m fine with reboots or remakes of things that had an interesting idea, but the execution was bad the first time around. There’s plenty of movies and TV shows that had something, but they failed on the delivery. Remake those things.
As a gay man, most of my list doesn’t have names. Why would I remember their names? Some I didn’t even ask.
I just left one of the UK’s largest VMWare customers, in a team working directly on VSphere and ESXI products. The team was just starting to tool up for a new internal project to manage VMs within the company using some of the newer features in these tools. We had well over 1 million VMs across more than a dozen datacenters. The cost of running this is expected to go up by 30 times or more.
While it’s going to take some time, they’re now looking at migrating to a different solution. So Broadcom are going to get their extra pay for a while, but not forever.
I’m 4 weeks away from my voluntary redundancy. I was planning on leaving the job this year anyway, as I wanted to move, so to get a nice paycheck with it was a definite bonus.
Of the people that chose voluntary redundancy, it was mostly those without ties to the area, those that could move, young enough to re-skill, or old enough to retire. The ones that were forced into redundancy have families, mortgages, history in the area, enough baggage to cause inertia. Part of my reasoning to take the voluntary redundancy was to help save at least one person from that.
So absolutely, consent matters. It just sucks that this is happening at all.
The company’s stated reasons for redundancy was to move skills to other locations in the country. This is after a year’s long effort to co-locate in order to facilitate collaboration. What it really seems to be is that our location has very high staff retention, and therefore high salaries, and the company thinks it can hire younger and cheaper elsewhere. The skill and knowledge lost with this move is staggering, everyone can see that, but profit is the most important factor the company cares about, so it’ll inflict its own wounds to get profit up. Capitalism is weird.
Do the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games next!
I’d buy that for a monthly subscription!
I’ve always wanted a beanie with two flashing orange lights, so I can put it on and sit on the hood of cars parking illegally while flashing their hazard lights. If they ask/tell me to move, I’ll just reply “it’s okay, I’ve got my parking lights on” and remain sitting on the hood for another few minutes. One day.
I think what the previous poster meant is that any treatment adds the placebo effect to (hopefully) a real effect from the intervention. Ben Goldacre details this in his book Bad Science.
The same thing you can make sangria in?
It’s Johnny the homicidal maniac, also written by Johnen Vasquez and illustrated by Roman Dirge, the creatives behind Invader Zim.
Are the podcasters getting paid for these translated versions? If so, and at the same rate, then I don’t personally see an issue. If not, then yes, it’s exploitation.

I’ve been saying it for years, recreate the Global, god damnit! Best sci-fi tech ever.
