Urgh. Christ.

But then again it was tied between Badenoch and Jenrick - the two mega right-wing MPs in the party.

I do feel like Tory members in general are very out of touch with what the UK population wants; I think Tory members want a Brexit-Party-lite with a crackdown on immigrants blah blah blah, but the rest of the country just wants shit like NHS and infrastructure to finally work.

TheGrandNagus hit the nail on the head perfectly, but as someone who actually does read the FT every now and then, I'm genuinely shocked they even published this.

Granted, it's under an "Ask Shrimsley" thing, but for a hot minute I was reading it like a normal FT article thinking "what the actual fuck?"

It honestly reads like the comment section of the FT, not something that should've been passed through an editor and published.

This isn't the first time they've pushed an update which crashes PCs.

IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it's like "well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines"

Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don't seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I've spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.

Nevermind, I did a quick check on YouTube and the game runs absolutely terribly on the Steam Deck... so much for me supporting Konami, got that refund request in order.

I'm just downloading it to my Steam Deck as I bought advanced access to the game. I'll let folks know how it goes.

And before anyone jumps on my neck about buying advanced access:

  • I waited until review scores came out
  • Even then I was originally planning to wait a few weeks until launch but with Steam refunds, I figured I can play for half an hour to get a good feel of the game
  • Not only is this Konami's first good game in ages, I dare say this is also the industry's first good game in ages. RE4 was excellent, but the OG was great and Capcom at that point knew how to do well. I *cannot* say the same for Konami/Bloober.
  • I'm someone who is lucky enough to have enough disposable income where a purchase like this doesn't really negatively affect me financially.

Also from my experience the users on BlueSky are pretty much a straight swap from Twitter. And by that I mean nobody ever bothers interacting with me at all.

On mastodon if I so much as rip a fart on there, *someone* will engage with it. On BlueSky? Nada.
