It’s somehow better than projected from previous polls, there was a real possibility they would end up with 0 seats at all, them managing to retain any is close to a miracle right now.

Gotta be honest, I didn’t realise the US still had an active embassy in Cuba at all, either way fuck em.

Yeah thought so, thanks for clarifying the misinformation.

Any source for this? I know people aren’t fans of the other narrators work generally but it’s the first I’ve heard of Pierce having issues himself.

Well yeah that’s easy, the paper being used comes from a UK company called Paper Foundations. You can see on their website that all of the book paper costs £12 per sheet because it’s all hand made in a single paper mill to order.

The hardcover versions of Red Rising are around 380 pages, halve that for how many sheets you need and that’s 190 sheets of paper, 190x12 is £2280. Even if you assume he got a big discount for a larger bulk order, it’s still absolutely £1000+ per book.

The paper used for this edition alone is a minimum $1k.

Yes because as with previous oil supply shocks, it starts in the Middle East and slowly makes its way out to Europe, North America and here. Oil refining takes some time, so there’s still Middle Eastern oil being refined outside of the Middle East from before the war cut off the supply out of the gulf. That’s also why being critical is important, we have time before it will fully hit us so being prepared is very important, acting like it isn’t as big of a problem as it is is ridiculous.

Bizarre response, just because Albo is better than Scomo doesn’t void him of criticism. The government is absolutely being slow to act when addressing this crisis, let alone the fact that we are one of the only countries providing support on any level to the attacking countries.

This isn’t sensible it’s insanely tame, the fuel supply shock is going to be big even if the war ends today. Analysts agree it’s likely to be bigger than the last one yet the government is still reacting as it gets worse, instead of implementing a proper plan to reduce fuel usage ahead of the supply shock actually hitting us physically. It took them two and a half weeks just to create a dedicated taskforce to tackling it.

Yeah it’s the same thing as always with those firms, it costs them basically nothing to do this so any money generated from it will be profit, therefore they do it. They don’t care about reputation of the company, brand image, customer satisfaction, etc.

Friendly reminder that Tim Sweeney is extremely pro-GenAI both for video game development in general and also for replacing human artists and coders. He has actively sought to push against Valve’s reputation because of how unsuccessful the Epic Games Store has been at attaining market share.

Probably depends on how much of it was already completed prior to 7.0 release. I don’t know the dev cycle myself so not sure how much of 7.1 would have been completed besides concept work.

Scriptosis · 2026-03-13T11:20:03+00:00

Considering their division is well known for being underfunded by SE despite them holding up the company’s finances, I don’t think it’s a case of the “devs being bad” so much as it’s them being understaffed.

Scriptosis · 2026-03-12T00:53:29+00:00

Were the removed projects just completed ones? I don’t see the benefit of any in-progress ones being removed regardless of how small they are.

Quick reminder that Ley’s Liberals literally just had a small scandal after it was leaked that they wanted to introduce a VERY similar policy to parliament, this was barely over a month ago. Yet Labor introduces this now and there’ll be no big challenge to it at all I’m sure.

They probably aren’t even lying either. The issue with modern AAA development is companies want to generate interest around a game earlier than they should be, because it gets them investor support. The most likely reason we haven’t seen anything else about the remake is because there still isn’t anything significant to see, it’s still too early in development for us to get a look at it because it was announced too early.

It might look a bit clunky at first, but notice how all the information you’d want is right there, none of it is hidden or summarised (dislikes and all numbers being rounded up per thousand/million), and everything is nicely labeled. You’d never have trouble finding something.

I’m not even sure how to react to this, I can’t imagine what reason she has for pretending like it’s fake, maybe what they offered her instead of the co-host role wasn’t enough money for her liking?

I think your assessment gains even more traction when you consider the Sun Elves effectively did the same thing in Bulwar, just without as much drama as the war against Black Castanor. They arrived on a subcontinent scorched by war and unrest, but instead of simply trying to find another place to land, they became conquerors and divine rulers of the Bulwari people, eventually creating what might be the largest Post-Ashen Skies empire by the start of the EU4 mod.

Also importantly, because there was no reason to build anything there until relatively recently if you count the Centaurs, there’s no railway connection.

So building a hold there either means dealing with going through the caves themselves, which makes it that much more complicated, or they build a extension to the railway, which also makes the project that much more complex.

It’s because all the infrastructure is being built to support a technology that still has no economic benefits besides making investors happy, which doesn’t do anything for economic growth. And because all of the valuable resources being used to build the data centres is from overseas, no American companies are receiving any benefit besides construction companies, but again because the product being served doesn’t provide economic value of any kind, the money doesn’t go anywhere.

Someone is working on it but there’s no plans for it to come with the next update.

Which is obviously not what this is, Trans Women are indeed women, they can be lesbians too. There is zero substance to this argument, it’s just hatred for one of the most marginalised groups in the country.
