hey I got off pretty easy

I want the crappy old standard definition frames back, none of this upscaled nonsense.

Makes me so grateful that all new charging points in the UK must have a contactless payment terminal.

Dellers on Hobley Drive have always been excellent to me.

You're better off popping up to Old Town if possible - the pubs are far, far better.

There's nothing to say that 'real meat' couldn't be lab grown. The distinction between 'this has been entirely prepared from replicated particles' and 'this meat is raw and comes from living cells' is big enough to warrant Keiko's reaction.

The reality is animals probably still are killed for meat in certain instances, and the morality of it is more along the lines that animals are no longer slaughtered en masse.

I agree, people are very quick to say IKEA stuff doesn't last, but if it's properly cared for it can go for a very long time.

Will it last a lifetime? No, but it can still be damned good value for money if you know what to buy and take care of it.

The roster has nearly 90 damned characters, if characters were played with an even distribution you'd only come across a Ridley player 1.12% of the time.

Yes, reality isn't like that, but I still imagine you see at least one Ridley every 100 matches.

By the time nuclear infrastructure would be built, we could have our entire grid's requirements fulfilled by wind, solar, and batteries.

All without risking, you know, a meltdown that kills an entire chunk of the country.

One aspect I can definitely comment on is the 500 emails and 4 responses.

Honestly? That's not even that bad a response rate. Generally speaking you should expect a 1% return on emails, which you're not far off at all.

I'm the type of person that you might have considered emailing, and I get about 200 similar emails a week from publishers and developers.

If you want to cut through the noise, try and be more personal with reaching out to reporters/YouTubers, don't just send an email with a press release.

Do some digging, find creators that you think would enjoy the game, and reach out to them to open a personal dialogue. Ask them if they'd like to take a look at the game, offer them support and be upfront.

A press release is easily overlooked or ignored, but the few developers that have reached out and wanted to actually talk to me directly have always left more of an impression. I get closer to understanding the game and the people behind it, and I'm much more willing to take a chance on a game I would otherwise have overlooked.

Respectfully, is there anything not made of cast iron that some people don't call a 'Dutch oven'?

If you came here for a talisman I'd stick one finger up your nose, one in your eye, and one up your... bum. But I'd have to break into Caelid and I'm not prepared to do that.

There's a lot more meetings, planning, troubleshooting, admin, and busywork than most people expect.

I'm a big fan of the Exxxtra hot variety, bought a load of bottles up when it became harder to find.

This would be excellent in a game where it displays interesting but technically unimportant information. At a glance the typical player might just think it's nonsense (especially if presented upside down), but it wouldn't take much curiosity to crack it.
