  I guess they made the promise to compete with poe but eventually found out why it is so hard to make work.

  Still, interesting explanations from everyone. thanks

  I have played Vintage Story and moose are the apex predator for me. Ill fight any number of horrifying eldritch rot rust monsters from another dimension before i go near a moose.

  The koch brothers were behind the tea party, and ive never seen anything linking them to russia.

  At a guess that astroturf movement was hijacked by others but im not sure we can pin much of thst on russia specifically.

  Right, If the truth is theyre barely afloat theyre not going to change anything by delaying the report. The time its reporting has passed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of very confused people here who think an earnings delay means ubi havent made much money. Cant say if they have or not, but if they havent thats still not a reason for this kind of delay

  And you need a blank tape to copy too, which did have to pay a charge to content firms to cover piracy.

  In this tortured analogy the blanks are also included in the ai firm product, so yes they would have had to pay

  You have to use special deals for dominos. Its competitive then. They have standard ones on all the time.

  Finally someone who admits it, had far too many people try to say boomer shooters are named after shotguns.

  Dont expect us slightly elderly gamers to call our precious childhood games by the name of a group that fucked us all over first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Mask of the Betrayer: the last of the boomer cRPG classics' - Warlockracy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I swear you youngsters wouldnt know a boomer if they stole all your money and then made you pay for their retirement.

  Spook Bullshit I think.

  Both in amount our security services rely on them (terrible to let happen) but also the amount of retaliation they can employ.

  Also explains why no one talks about it.

  I’m imagining that picture with ea as death visiting Westwood and bioware etc.

  But to the left you see ea death is in its own room and opening the door is the figure of private equity. A bloodstained tzeentchian nightmare screeching from the void.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starmer used land tax dodge to avoid inheritance tax⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So he gave them something and the…canary… is sad he didn’t then have to pay inheritance tax on something he gifted when it came back to him?

  Shit stirring tbh. He could’ve just kept it the whole time but wanted his parents to feel ownership and independence. This isn’t a tax dodge it’s just how tax rules work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opinion: Keir Starmer’s “Island of strangers” speech was right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An article about how starmer was right to blame immigration for real problems like house building, employment apprenticeships etc by showing those real problems are real.

  No shit.

  Crazy idea but maybe he should’ve done a speech about building house? Even mcsweeny knows you get one point from a speech into the news, they choose immigration and lost the opportunity to get press on the others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No the game has a much, much worse anexoty time crunch in trying to 100% it before the end of year… 2 ( I think) when grandpa shrine first measures progress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK must 'actively prepare' for potential of war in the 'homeland', review warns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it very difficult to believe Russia could resupply an invasion force, even if it could technically manage the initial push. I’ll have to read the article properly but the sea and air logistics involved, without invading every cou try between the UK and Russia, seem insurmountable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK failed grooming gang victims by not seeing ‘children as children’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They were specifically worried about race riots.

  Look at the London riots years ago, that was caused by going after a gang member and escalates by gangs.

  The police forces in these areas were absolutely right to worry, it wasn’t just about causing offence but the real threat of organised criminal members of a community mobilising that community against the police.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK failed grooming gang victims by not seeing ‘children as children’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of it still looks a little like corruption to me.

  There’s a huge report on this with more detail than anyone could reasonably read, somewhere way back in my comment history on Reddit. The way the problem was moved off to cross force specialised teams and then sat on is very odd, but could just be disorganisaton

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that I don’t believe them, but anything coming from spooks has to be looked at a little sideways.

  Thanks for the reply. I just couldn’t figure out how they had enough intelligence to find all these telegram groups, maybe that’s easier for a nation state than I thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There were reports (claims I suppose) that the fsb were using telegram to organise the stochastic gig job sabotage across Europe.

  Joining a neo fash telegram group, pretending to be a rich neo fash who wants to help the cause but not risk themselves and paying people for putting up posters, damaging equipment etc.

  Does what has been found here shed any more light on that? I’d guess it would allow them to find these groups to target them very easily? That was the bit I couldn’t quite understand from the original report, if so this all makes more sense.
