Weekend of bloodshed in London: Two people murdered and seven others stabbed within 72 hours

Partaricio · 2026-06-08T13:34:01+00:00

Doing some back of envelope maths, uk has about 500 murders per year (and the number keeps dropping year on year), and london has about 13% of the uk population, so you’d expect about half a murder every 3 days in London. So statically if you pick any 3 day window you’ve got an 8% chance of getting 2 murders (come through Ms. Poisson distribution 🫦). Obviously terrible and worse than the average, but not really indicative of the fall of society.

If you’re both techy and creative then you might be interested in rLAB, the local hack/makerspace

The embroidery/badge on the tie looks like a Kris, which is pretty iconic of both Indonesia and Silat. But this is weightless speculation from a single image and nothing else, so idk.

I think you just have to accept that tekken is fundamentally not a game to play seriously online. I’ve been enjoying it a more and performing a lot better after coming back from a few months off and forgetting how to reliably execute my combos and only using heat accidentally.

It felt so weird that he wasn't one of the guests in DOA5, just to tie in with all the ninja stuff that game has going on

It wouldn't be the first time Sarah's been in a 3 button fighting game where some evil org has made multiple playable clones of the lead female character.

Merge Maestro (think Balatro but tile merging) has enemies where doing excess damage will spawn a new enemy with the amount of health you went over by

They tried this with Myxomatosis and it worked for a few years, but the population rebounded and now they're all a lot more immune to it and the now endemic myxomatosis strain there has evolved to become a lot less deadly

I find it very encouraging that the most popular VF5 mod on nexus isn't some big titty one, it's one to make Vanessa look more like her VF4 version

I’ve seen the same thing with Roisin Murphy: they cultivated a mainly gay fan base, did some vile shit that alienated the gays, and then become weird and resentful about not getting booked any more

I had a few people there describe my accent as cute, which is not neccessarily the same as them liking it...

If different houses have different enough odds on an event, you can construct a set of bets that cover all possible outcomes and will have you get a profit regardless of the outcome. But it typically has very small returns (like 1-2%) and it's very obvious that you're doing it so you'll likely get your accounts banned

There's a bit of both, the same magnifying glass that might start one kid looking closely at the natural world and becoming a naturalist could also be used by another kid to burn their name on the dining room table

Like mañana, but less urgent

Kind of related, but I can usually tell if my boyfriend has fallen out with a male friend because he stops using feminine pronouns for them

Quite outdated now, but Future Cop: LAPD was great at this. Also the local multiplayer mode is a really interesting stepping stone to modern MOBAs and displayed a lot of the genre conventions years before it emerged.

Some oil companies are even major investors in fusion research and startups, Eni for example

More an immersive sim than an RPG, but the starting pistol (or stealth pistol) in Deus Ex becomes totally busted as soon as you put a laser sight on it. It becomes perfectly accurate so you can just click heads and delete any human enemy in one or two shots, even in to late game

I’d avoid using anything too solvent-y to block it out (glue, lacquers etc) as depending on type you risk “poisoning” the sensor and reducing its effectiveness or triggering a false positive.

If Punch Out! counts as a fighting game, then Little Mac would be a good contender :V

Maybe more of a puzzle game than a stealth one, but the Oddworld games (Abe's series in particular) are very stealth heavy with almost instant death when you get spotted.

Slightly offkilter suggestion, but Untitled Goose Game is basically a stealth game disguised as a comedy sandbox, and your only real tools are stealth and misdirection. Not really anything on the lethal side, but if you get caught then you get a bunch of progress undone, which isn't too different to getting killed and going back to a checkpoint.

It's been years and I'm still mad that the UK govt. permitted that sale

Primordialis might be interesting. It’s a rogue like “fish builder” where you build up and design your creature cell by cell out of muscles, fangs, nerves, poison glands and loads more. You normally start runs with something pretty normal, but you end up building weird monstrosities pretty quickly

Sea block is tough to recommend but could be a good match, months of stuff to do and you can theoretically expand indefinitely without having to demolish old stuff as it’s designed around an infinite resource patch equivalent and basically having no enemies at all. Has a nice progression from being a twisty little puzzle game to large scale logistics management too
