There is no greater driver of economic growth than good public transport links. Look at the boom of the Elizabeth Line. People who whinge about the costs of it are just short-sighted morons. Ignore them and build everything. HS2. HS3. Crossrail 2. Trams in every city. Just do it.

I do love that No Man's Sky is one of the few games you can do an A/B of day one, and today. Popped the PS4 disc in and stopped the auto update and there is the very odd pre-a million patches version of the game. Then you can start the PS5 version...

Oh man, 10 years of No Man's Sky. What a game. I don't really get a chance to play for long periods, but its so much fun to just jump into and see whats changed. The ARG around the early updates was great too. Good ol' Citizen Scientists.

In October last year I was fired by Rockstar Games in what we believe was a union busting move. We lost our home. We lost 2 jobs with my partner being forced to resign. We lost a community. Most importantly however we had to leave our two dogs behind, one of which will never return.

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

I'd just like to point out that the only two countries in Europe that still persist with the ludicrous, two-party fix-up cartel of First Past the Post are the Putin proxy Belarus, and the sewage-drenched UK.

it's funny how for decades the RIAA would carbomb teenagers for downloading one (1) song yet now these dudes are just allowed to do this shit like it's nothing
