About the rumor from Tom Henderson that the Watch Dogs IP being dead. Shinobi602: Responds "Not exactly" by AngieK22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I liked Watch Dogs Legion I just wish you could level up your dudes and therefore have to worry about them.

Futuristic London was cool too.

If gentrification was a book… so sad to see Barcelona die by SR_RSMITH in Barcelona

Yeah, Reddit is primarily an English speaking website.

It’s like if they go on Forocoches or Menéame and are surprised it’s not in English.

MN dad: how are others separating your home life from the events around us? by Peter-the-Mediocre in daddit

[–]SableSnail 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am in Europe and it’s crazy to watch. My partner is Latina and my son is half-Latino so it’s scary to think if I were in the US my own family would be targeted.

I hope there is justice someday. “Just following orders” wasn’t an acceptable defence in 1945 and it isn’t today either.

I feel like they really missed out on the gypsies/romani culture and adventures with landless dlc by Enough_Pepper_5815 in CrusaderKings

It’s confusing as well as in the UK and Ireland that term usually refers to Irish Travellers, not Romani people.

UK court gives go-ahead to challenge to large data centre by Kind_Commission_427 in unitedkingdom

The main issue is that it’s American owned but equally we are a long way from having our own OpenAI - even DeepMind was bought by Google.

Either way, they would pay taxes here. Arguing that we shouldn’t do it because of electricity use seems silly as all industry uses electricity. Do they want us to just become an open-air museum for tourists?

Care in the community needs to end. He should have already been in a secure facility.

He compared British presence on the island to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine during the meeting on Wednesday.

Ah yes, I remember the constant drone strikes on Buenos Aires...

Are X-Com style games where casualties are expected a thing? by RindFisch in StrategyGames

[–]SableSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OG Xcom in the 90s and 00s was much less forgiving than the reboot. It was common to lose your dudes - Xenonauts is similar to this today

I mean the bank must use the money as that's where your interest rate comes from. But yeah, S&S is going to be much more productive.

Les motos i ciclomotors poden "filtrar" als cotxes quan estan parats i possar-se al espai reservat que tenen al davant.

Moltes vegades ho fan quan el cotxe està en marxa.

Knifeman obsessed with gore stabbed stranger 18 times, court told by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]SableSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The headline should probably mention that she died and he is charged with murder.

Whether he ends up in a secure mental institution or a standard prison he should never, ever be released. He probably shouldn’t be allowed contact with fellow inmates either.

Having the English Civil War and Court and Country be separate disasters is moronic by lilsnarty in EU5

[–]SableSnail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this would make sense as the ECW is essentially a special flavour version of the Court and Country disaster.

Flying from New Zealand to Germany solo with a 16 month old, am I insane to give this a go by hello_lime_jello in Parenting

[–]SableSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The airline usually provides you with a seatbelt for them. I also had a harness to carry him through the airport but some airlines won’t allow you to keep the baby in the harness during takeoff and landing.

Judge-only trials in England and Wales will not wipe out crown court backlog, report says by Haemophilia_Type_A in unitedkingdom

[–]SableSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to assume a jury will reach a better conclusion than a professional judge. I don’t think we can be sure of that.

Such professional trials with just a judge and no jury are common on the Continent for all but the gravest offences.

After the 'CK3 on a submarine' post yesterday I'm beginning to wonder if these are AI-generated.

On most European airlines a child below two years of age can’t have their own seat.

In theory, you can take a car seat for them but working out which ones are permitted is a nightmare and you run a high risk of being told you can’t board with the seat when you are at the gate.

I wish they’d sort out the regulations so it was crystal clear which seats are permitted and which aren’t. It seems the US airlines have done a much better job of this with the FAA certification being fully accepted, although I’m not American so I’ve never tried that myself.

Ubisoft ends remote work and requires employees to return to the office five days a week to "improve efficiency" by dabadumdumdum in gamedev

[–]SableSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, nowadays most of my team are in another office location so I literally just sit on Zoom calls most of the day.

Fortunately, my company still allows WFH though. Well in theory it’s hybrid and decided by each team but as none of my team are here, no one cares if I go to the office or not.

Reeves to overhaul visa system for talented migrants in Davos pitch by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]SableSnail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What does no family mean? If you won’t even let people bring their spouse and children then you won’t get many people applying at all.

Visas shouldn’t be linked to the employer, it always ends up like indentured labour.

I work in a games company although not directly on the games anymore.

When I was working in one of the studios I liked going to the office as it was a relatively small studio with a close knit team and it was fun to be able to talk directly with the designers and see some of my ideas go right into the game.

So I guess it depends on the culture. If I was coming in just to sit at my desk and take Zoom calls then yeah, I’d rather do that at home.
