And ms will find it a lot easier to blame the screwups on yoti than on themselves
- Comment on Cops have now arrested over 2,000 peaceful Defend Our Juries protesters 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks 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 Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t ask for this.
What a shame.

- Comment on Starmer's new director of comms is swimming balls deep in controversy 1 month ago:
No its a far left agit prop site. As worthless as sqwarkbox to me.

Just promise this time you really will increase petrol duty and suddenly everything is affordable. Until you bottle it again
- Comment on Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy 2 months ago:
I had to do a double take at the idea waypoint exists after they fired the entire team (by accident) a few years ago
- Comment on HS2 was doomed to be a mess, say insiders - because of a 'problem in this country' 2 months ago:
It’s a good article but can someone please tell the bbcthey don’t need to do click bait headlines
- Comment on Opinion: Keir Starmer’s “Island of strangers” speech was right 3 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 3 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 Deadly heatwaves are the new reality – we need to transform the UK’s cities and towns to survive them 3 months ago:
Getting rid of the car fumes and tarmac wouldn’t hurt either
- Comment on UK must 'actively prepare' for potential of war in the 'homeland', review warns 3 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’ 3 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’ 4 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 4 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 4 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.

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16 5 months ago:
Yeah, the section headlines are huge and that’s exactly right to make this readable while skipping past stuff that means nothing to me
- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 5 months ago:
And by a modder turned dev, so, professionalisation? :)
Though the way wube works the whole team will have been involved in some way. And they’re a student so it’s part of a fairly normal pipeline for gamedev.

He had a career spanning dozens of stone cold classic movies, incredible performances all.

- Comment on Ubisoft Leamington UK, responsible for development of Star Wars Outlaws and Skull & Bones, officially closed. 6 months ago:
Shadows is great tbh. Can’t speak about sales figures but it’s the most fun I’ve had with AC in ages. The jumps being ninja roll jumps is perfect.
Valhalla was far too serious, a schlocky Japanese revenge flick is much more on target.
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 6 months ago:
As a curved blade I think they’re all already banned, so this law does nothing to you
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 6 months ago:
Collecting them isn’t much of a reason to be carrying them around.
I don’t think the police would let you off if you claimed to have just bought it. I’d expect them to demand some kind of proof.
The law is so when they raid a gang members home and find five swords they can do something other than compliment them on their awesome ninja sword collection.
