This kind of interoperability is really useful for getting people to switch over. The only reason to use these apps is to talk to other people, so the network effect has a heavy hand on people’s decisions

Madness. It’s still a month before there’s even a chance that Orban gets voted out. The EU needs to come down hard on this

There are others way to achieve those end goals, though. Mutually exclusive paths are usually going to feel much better than some unforeseeable bullshit

From the moon logic puzzle entry on the game’s own page’

Practically every puzzle in the game requires the player to either use highly unconventional logic, or be a psychic:

Can’t open the garage? You’d think you need to find the garage opener, right? Wrong. You need to use a workout machine, then open it with pure strength.

How does one open an envelope? With their hands? Or through a microwave? (Mind, you can open the envelope with your hands — you just shouldn’t, because that tears it, making it unusable for re-mailing, which is crucial for several characters’ paths through the game. It’ll depend on your team composition whether you can get past that or not.)

Yeah fuck this game

This title format is gonna be great in six releases’ time

To be fair, Europe gets a bit overrepresented in that regard because it can send loads of athletes as separate countries. To take the men’s mass start speed skating final as an example, ten of the sixteen competitors were from the EU, but it would only be allowed to send two as a single country

On the other hand, Norway alone beat everyone of course, and European countries are eight of the top ten on the medal table

I haven’t played this (and hadn’t heard of it), but since I’m a craft-beer-loving European I think the devs might prefer it that way. I enjoyed your rant, OP

If we find a way around the laws of physics then we haven’t found a way around them, we’ve found out more about them

Not to mention that a huge segment of the public that does already own at least one house actually doesn’t want them to get cheaper

It’s not that I think there is an easy way, it’s just that I don’t think that his position in the line of succession is a meaningful response to whether or not he is in it in this context

No, I don’t think there is. I was only saying that in response to the claim that he’s now 8th in line - yes, he is, but not because of any actual intention from the monarchy

Fair enough, thanks! I’ll edit my initial comment

I did. I found the 30th October 2025 statement from the royal family saying they had “initiated a formal process” to do so, and Andrew’s corresponding one agreeing not to publically use the titles, but nothing since. So what am I missing?

When did that actually happen? Last I saw, he was just agreeing not to use them publically

He was born 2nd in line, now he’s about 8th in line

So still in line for the throne. He’s 8th because other people were born ahead of him in the succession, not because the monarchy demoted him or something

Here’s the police statement https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/news/thames-valley/news/2026/february/16-02-25/thames-valley-police-open-investigation-into-misconduct-in-public-office/

Major UK news outlets like the BBC and Guardian are reporting it

I do wish that the news would stop calling him ex-Prince or ex-Duke until he actually is one. He just agreed to stop using the titles, he still has them. < Edit: Andrew actually was stripped of said titles in November 2025, though remains in line for the throne. > He’s still in line for the fucking throne. Don’t pretend that the monarchy has done more than it actually has here.

Also, though, good

I also quite enjoyed the Guardian article’s picture of this policeman having a really good day at work

To be honest it seems like they’re so paranoid about The Woke™ that it would be almost useless. It would just be a recommendation for every single game that has a plot and wasn’t made by dickheads

Is 30 fps not playable?

There’s also this in the last paragraph:

The most recent video on Look Mum No Computer’s YouTube channel is a clip from a concert, where he attempts to piece together a Blur song on the fly, all by himself, on a bank of ancient electronic instruments.

The link goes to Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. The title says Gorillaz too. I mean, sure, Damon Albarn is in both of them, but if he knew that in order to make the Blur connection then it only makes it weirder to mix them up
