Sunday Times rich-listed John Christodoulou, who is British-Cypriot but resides in the tax haven of Monaco, and is worth a reported £2.6bn, falsely told LandlordZone he had repaid the £263,555.69 he owed tenants of two Hackney properties.

Overwatch heralded the death of the genre, after which (almost) every FPS release has been a casual shooter.
- Comment on Secret courts' still handing out warrants for energy firms to break into homes 5 weeks ago:
This is about debt-collection for unpaid bills. According to the article, it’s clearly a broken system that punishes the most vulnerable in society, but still, the headline is an inflammatory (and clickbait) way to present that.

Use some isopropyl alcohol to clean it and you don’t have to worry about anything getting wet and shorting. IPA is really good at removing the greasy smudges from the things we fondle.

I was expecting it to be match-fixing.

I don’t disagree. It would require manual labelling by a group of people with enough patience and understanding of gaming to be able to reliably label ~60 new games every day. I’d have thought that the Steam community was large enough to achieve this though.

I think this statistic would be more interesting if it filtered out all of the blatant cash-grab, asset-flip, AI generated shit that makes up a large portion of new releases.
Is it 19,000 releases with 10,000 actual sincere efforts at making a game, or 19,000 releases with 1,000 actual games.
And what’s the average number of reviews for actual games versus garbage?

Bamford, who retired as a Conservative peer last year, took over the business started by his father in 1975. His family is one of the richest in Britain, with wealth estimated at £9.5bn by the Sunday Times.
Not even a “self-made” shit-stain.

- Comment on Andrew Windsor could face private prosecution, Republic says 2 months ago:
They put “Republic” in the headline as if we all just know what that refers to.
Per wikipedia:
Republic is a British republican pressure group advocating the replacement of the monarchy of the United Kingdom with a de jure parliamentary republic.[2] It is a member organisation of the Alliance of European Republican Movements and is the largest organisation solely campaigning for a republican constitution for Britain. Republic states that its mission is: “the replacement of hereditary monarchy with a democratic republican constitution”.[3] As of 2023, Carol Lever is the current chair of Republic, and Graham Smith is the chief executive.[4]

Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’
When you “make up” for something you’ve done, it’s not up to you to decide when you’ve “made up” for it. It’s up to the people that you crossed. What a presumptuous thing to say.

The army of corporate boot lickers in the mobile phone context is largely composed of people who think banking on a smartphone is wise
This is extremely reductive and oblivious to the actual realities of banking in various countries. If you think it’s easy to be “unbanked” then I would suggest that you try it yourself first.
