Me and my wife… Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh…

I dunno, it’s okay - but I just don’t get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I’d really recommend checking a Let’s Play of it before trying it.

It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you’re both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you’d give up on it too.

Cleaner/clearer joke delivery would be:

Counting crows is just murder by numbers.

In my non-comedically talented opinion, of course.

Oh no!

Anyway…

Pugilistic - TIL a new word!

No worries. What I’d give to shoot the person that came up with the FPTP voting system…

I feel like you took my comment to be a critique of the EU’s position, which is not what I was trying to say at all.

I presume that such an agreement would be in the EUs interest - hence the expression of such. Public clarification at this stage of the ‘cost’- as you put it - is a great way to take it off the official policy booklet. Which doesn’t make sense to me.

I am aware that UK politics is stupid. I live here.

If the move would be of interest to the EU, then unless they are completely politically inept, can these officials not see how saying it would require ECJ oversight before an election risks it being eliminated from Labour policy?

It gives a free attack point for the Tories and couldn’t be a bigger face palm - for anyone actually interested in it, of course.

Anyone that expected the current British government to do anything a government is meant to do… Well… Let me introduce you to the past 14 years of disappointment.

I mean, yeah… There’s no such thing as being an ethical billionaire.

If reviews don’t flip back to positive in response (seeing as they only went negative in anticipation of this policy being enforced), then we have no way of indicating our dissatisfaction next time Sony do something undesirable.

Let’s compare it with adult pornography. Does the consumption of adult pornography remove the desire to have sex with another adult in the long term? Or does it reinforce the sexually desirable characteristics of adults?

Great explanation (including the pre-edit bit ha) - thank you!

When you say the cypher puzzle wouldn’t be much fun - why not? Surely you could have a set of puzzles through the game that each yield a keyword (seemingly plot relevant, but still pretty random when combined with the others) and the player has to combine all of them via clues in game in the correct order to yield the correct key. That doesn’t sound unfun on the surface?

I apologise as I know next to nothing about how this all works - so ELI5 please:

Based on what you explained here, could the game designed in theory put those 256 bits of key into 256 puzzles - with several hundred more puzzle pieces being red herrings?

But were you making the point the data miner could just then target the thing that accepts those puzzle pieces and reads the key from them?

I’m really sad I missed the chance to get a Steam Controller.

They won’t. The police exist to protect the interests of the state, so as long as the state doesn’t give a shit and continues to pay sufficient renumeration to those willing to exercise unjust power over their fellows then… yeah.

I don’t know if my reading comprehension is poor or the Independent managed to write everything but what Scholz said (in both this article and the self-referenced article within)…

Can someone please clarify? What intelligence did Scholz apparently breach?

I’m not sure if I’ve ever entered mine either. I ought to go check…

The Beeb.

Leans Left.

Uh…

In the situation that payment details are leaked - I presume one must cancel the associated card?

Isn’t DRG:Survivors by a different developer - not Ghost Ship Games?
