Not surprising. TNT and Premier Sports both unlikely to put in a decent bid. Amazon and Netflix not wanting to nab the UK sports streaming yet

What are your recommendations for titles that run on low spec emulation handhelds and have a modern feel? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world
[–] Olap@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Original Sonics hold up well imo. Plenty of time in them! Also, streets of rage and the tmnt clones are good too. And lemmings for snes I think is a good puzzle game. I struggle with RPGs of the day after Mass Effect, but Pokémon are still solid. I also recommended Advance Wars. And Doom, it plays very nicely on my r36h with the auto-aim mod installed too (tweak it down in assist though). And the Monkey Island series are definitely worth a play through if you missed them first time round

Lotsa tries at the moment, come learn the reason why! (I thank the 50:22 rule mostly - forces the back three to cover more ground and therefore more gaps in the front line for breaks)

Women's Six Nations: Scotland celebrate hard-fought 24-19 victory over Wales (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

The women are under way for sure. France thumping Italy, and England thrashing Ireland. So not great surprises, but this was a thriller, worth watching the highlights at least!

A good read here about the nature of professional rugby union. Who is it for? What do punters want to see?

I don't tend to watch the Women's game enough, but this was a nice read. I'll be checking out the Scotland side at least this w6n - which is less than a week away!

Fantastic news for Cumberbnauld. Mr Sword, I salute you. Now, how come I've never seen your products down the M8? An easy fix I'm sure now it is employee owned

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by Conservatives have ‘so far produced only 36 days worth of gas’ (www.theguardian.com)
 

The North Sea is spent. Tories and Red Tories spraffed it on neoliberalism. Wind is the next payday, and the good news is that it will payout forever. The bad news is we are still massively dependent on marginal priced gas. Thanks to Cameron and Osborne for that

There is another way
