Great article. Similar to "NASA's booster size is the result of the size of a horse's ass": https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/4-feet-85-inches-space-shuttle-horses-ass-william-batch-batchelder

I don't know, Sam Darnold had some positive traits and needed a fresh start. Maybe in Shanahan's system he'll look awesome if (when?) Purdy goes down.

From that quote I took "that salmon is ok, but this dish that it's in is overall good".

Like the sibling comment it feels the opposite way round to me. The Switch feels like a child's toy - light, small and not wildly comfortable to hold for a long period of time. The Deck feels much more ergonomic and solid to hold in my hands - I still enjoy the feeling of just picking it up (had it for 7 months) because it just feels like it fits.

Some of this is because I have big hands and the Switch obviously has to work for kids hands and the Switch being lighter is actually better for longer sessions but when I got back to the Switch now it feels cheap and flimsy.

There's also Stormgate coming out later this year from a load of the former StarCraft developers.

I think the UK has completely eliminated the US style stop sign. I haven't seen one in years.

What do you mean by Phase 2?

There's some stuff about the roadmap for most of this year: https://blog.beeper.com/p/state-of-the-app-spring-2023

If it's dead then it's no risk, right? Afterwards it's either working or still dead.

Have you tried reporting it to Steam support? They're pretty good and it sounds like you've got the precise cause narrowed down

Carrying cash - particularly coins - is such a pain in the neck. I pay for everything on card whether I'm in this country (UK) or travelling abroad.

I'm almost at the point where I don't need to carry a wallet at all - contactless on my phone takes care of a lot.

Yeah, it can and should be a warning to studio heads, but as game consumers we absolutely should raise our expectations (and stop buying micro transaction crap). There are plenty of big studios with money who could buy the licence and spend years making the game, but those studios belong to the big publishers who optimise for profit not for game quality.
