  • So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

    Or would you fight back?

    I don’t think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done







  • theres other ways. For instance in France its now law (I believe) that car parks (parking lots in US) over a certain size have to be covered in solar panels

    takes up no space, covers the cars from the elements and provides power

    The French Senate has approved a bill requiring all large parking lots across France to be topped with solar canopies in the next six years, which are predicted to generate as much energy as 10 nuclear reactors.

    The legislation mandates that all new and existing car parks with 80 or more parking spaces must be blanketed in photovoltaics covering at least half of their surface area. [link]


  • Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

    One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

    Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

    And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have










  • Survivor was a massive disappointment for me. It was the game I bought with my PS5, and ended up quitting halfway through because of the bounty hunter bug.

    Waited a month for that to be fixed, fired it up to continue, holomap completely vanished.

    So it’s back on the backlog again. Thank God the other game I bought with my PS5 (rift apart) was just great.

    That’s before we get into the navigation somehow being worse than fallen order. No minimap, no compass, and maps that are nigh on impossible to follow

    Honestly I would be fine with EA never releasing another star wars game.

    I am looking forward to the Ubi one though
