It's honestly not amazing. It's a third person shooter across multiple different levels of built up environments, offices, corridors. The enemy AI is pretty terrible, and although there are different tactics you can use to "hack" and take over enemies or melee, it's usually just easier to shoot.

But the parkour style navigation stood out. You can do wall jumping, which I was not expecting, and there are hidden pickups you can explore and find. And the open environments are nice (the corridors can feel a bit samey after a few levels).

It feels like one of those tie-ins that, had the dev team had more time to explore, balance, and really make it into its own game, might have been really good.

I've downloaded some old PS2 era games. Some of the gameplay is quite dated, but I really enjoy the retro feel of the environments and graphics. Perfect photorealism isn't always necessary to enjoy a game. I've been playing Burnout and Ghost in the Shell SAC.

Just use PCGW for that https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Avowed#Game_data

Pretty sure this is how you get a 'the troubles'

Maybe if he wans to be able to make games for longer, he needs to dial it back and get a manager that can plan to reduce the amount o crunch needed, ideally to zero. The attitude that crunch should be normal in creative projects is atrocious and needs to go.

Ukip, Brexit, Reform... What are the odds on how long it takes Farage to make yet another party?

If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don't trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.

In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.

"The two models, the 30TB ... and the 32TB ..., each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk". Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?

Is this counting films in trilogies, or the trilogies themselves?

To all the people saying they should release server source code: You don't even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:

• remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
• a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)

The solution is clearly to set up sex toy libraries.

...They would never interfere with libraries, right?

In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don't have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

i choose to kill whoever calls them trolleys and not trams

I find it immensely infuriating that the article's byline shows they are reporting from 'London' when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.

Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can't be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn't remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.

That 2012 one looks like I've focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.

According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn't need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn't violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.

I thought elvish meant someone who likes rock and roll music

You can't misgender a brand. You can't deadname a brand. You can't befriend a brand.

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn't sound half bad.
