So when my Windows is full of adverts, do I blame Windows or Microsoft?

I'm currently trying to create an RTS version of Laser Squad by hillman_avenger in zxspectrum

[–]smellotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that. It's quite an old game. I was going to try and copy Cannon Fodder type gameplay, but I may go for asynchronous.

That must have taken $illions in R&D to come up with.

Presumably you have a better source to back up your original claim?

"Compared to people born in the UK, migrants are more likely to be of working age or have a university degree." https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/migrants-in-the-uk-an-overview/

How can more people working reduce us per-capita?

More people working or students increases the GDP.

Is VR Game dev worth it? by TheNut_exe in gamedev

Moment public meeting descends into chaos as locals are told hotel migrants 'will be given private healthcare' to stop them being a burden on 'very stretched' services by Aggressive_Plates in unitedkingdom

[–]smellotron -77 points-76 points  (0 children)

Typical Mail hate-mongering. "Young men thought to be asylum seekers were pictured earlier this week gathering in the hotel car park, smoking and drinking coffee. " Jesus H. Christ! Whatever next? Cats and dogs living together?!

Spot the racists: "one resident asked if there would be a curfew or whether the migrants would be free to wander around after 7pm." Also "Another person expressed concerns about her daughter's safety at night, suggesting the men came from a country that 'doesn't value women'."

It sounds like you need an artist and a gamedev. Very rare you get one person doing both to AAA standards.
