how the fuck are they not extinct?

As hilarious and arguably far more entertaining as this is, whatever happened to the age-old "well I've had a good night but maybe we're better suited as friends, time for me to boost, speak to you tomorrow" parting?

I mean, it's an interesting viewpoint, but I'm not sure I'm entirely on board.

The professions listed are indeed ones where to tell lies could be a direct causal factor in causing harm, so I'm with you with that.

Outwith those safety critical environs though, I'm not sure I like the idea of free speech being curtailed by that degree. As much as I hate it. It's a big leap from where we are now to "lock them up because they're lying". I quite like freedom to drop such wild mistruths such as "no mate the sky is green" or " your relative died peacefully" or "Arsenal are a good football team".

Cool discussion point though.

Quality yeet.

I have read the Tale but not the sequel. I have no desire to. Even though it ended on a cliffhanger, I felt the core story had been told well.

Is this Pluribus season 2?

I'm not sure off the top of my head if that's the Republic of Ireland or the Côte d'Ivoire flag but I suspect neither of them play a role in their imagined politics.

Fancy new Wet Ass Filter

FH1 was absolutely brilliant. Combined with a racing wheel, it genuinely felt like the Forza Motorsport series had been let loose, literally.

Each subsequent FH release has just been... cool, I guess? The next four iterations weren't really groundbreaking and it felt like map packs than new games.

The soundtrack has consistently been absolutely banging though

Yeah nah. Fuck you.

For context, this is worth a watch for some post Unreal and pre-GoW Epic MegaGames, and CliffyB's autobiography is worth a read too.

I used to like Tim Sweeney. A guy who rewarded hard work and loyalty, and when a big paycheque guaranteed the company's future.

Now, it's just a content stripping studio that fucks over any notion of creativity or loyalty. Fortnite - a really decent shooter at it's core - is just awash with lazy crossover MTX now, and I'm still fucking salty about how Save The World was left to die even when Battle Royale was bringing in megabucks.

To add insult to injury, there's a trove of early MegaGames titles begging for a 3D entry, or even just another decent Unreal game that could make the world forget about HL3 for five minutes.

Fuck you Epic. There's enough money and ideas to go around. They're just not staying in the company and going into greedy bastard's pockets.

Fucking hell now you're asking, it's been fifteen years or more since I watched it and I was late to the party then!!

As long as we don't do prequels.

Babylon 4 might have a bit of a delay.
