    Does conflict of interest not exist in the US, or is it encouraged to get yourself elected and just be openly corrupt?

    Why not just declare yourself a massive wage straight from the budget?

    The Crew was great in its time. It was basically the bridge between Test Drive Unlimited (superior open world gameplay) and early Forza Horizon (superior driving physics). Later Forza Horizon games simply took all the good gameplay features from both TLU and The Crew and is unmatched in quality now.

    The Crew 2 was worse than both its predecessor and the competing Forza Horizon at that time, so if you were talking about that I'd half agree. But it's still a problematic industry trend worth stopping.

    Nintendo really did decide to jump on the Xbox Live band- wagon without really implementing any of the perks.

    Very true. These things do still exist for a lot of games. It lost popularity a lot on CS due to the incessant need for "competitive" matchmaking, but they are still out there. Rust is a good game for heavily modded servers (if you like the game concept in the first place) and I think Arma (which a bit more niche) is basically all community servers, ranging from in depth military reality to role playing much more mundane stuff.

    And this is why it was successful and still exists to this day.

    excuse the fist shaking at the cloud

    Kids these days literally want everything for free and don't care that microtransactions and other monetization has pervaded every aspect of games.

    Horse armour, man. Never forget the horse armour. Kids these days love horse armour.

    Because Steam wants your business. They offer their services in exchange for you buying more games on their platform. Initially they made these services for their own in-house developed games on the platform.

    I feel like that was a great scheme to both lock a bunch if people into years of gamepass really early on and bump up their numbers, at the same time as rewarding the loyal Xbox Live subscribers who got a great deal out of it. Win - win.

    Arma, counter strike, valheim, v rising, insurgency, satisfactory, battlebit. There's all sorts of multiplayer PC games that support server hosting.

    It was mostly a tongue in cheek comment. But hey because there's all these other not quite as successful paid services and no-one you know uses them, therefore they are less valuable, we shouldn't be mad about those ones right?

    Would you rather have an unstable dedicated server running on someone's home PC, or a stable paid for server that is up 24/7? It's always been possible to run your own dedicated servers, but 3rd party hosting has always been there too, for good reason.

    I'm not sure what Xbox Live has to do with pre-ordering. These days if you have Game Pass you're technically supporting a whole host of indies.

    Instagram reels feedback. Do you like to see the process? www.instagram.com

    So my wife is doing this fun thing on her Instagram where she makes a reel of opening an art supplies advent calendar and then a sketch/painting/whatever with the item she got out. I think they are getting better every day but engagement is constantly dropping. Does anyone have experience with posting their stuff on Instagram? Particularly reels, as that's the new thing that she's doing this month. It's kind of disheartening to see the effort being put in and the amount of likes they get compared to other things on the platform.

    I was going to say because it would be fucking weird if we just had one big nose hole. Now I'm thinking about it, our nostrils are already pretty weird.

    I'm now looking in the mirror at my nostrils and pumping them to the beat of a song.

    That's not strictly true. While the whole "milk makes your bones strong" line was found to be greatly overstated, there's still a lot of calcium in milk and combined with vitamin D that makes for stronger bones. Most importantly exercise improves bone density, so maybe it's true if you chug a bunch of milk while completely sedentary.

    It feels like Brighton are playing Football Manager and slapping a £100m price tag on anyone they don't really want to sell.

    They literally did the math for you. If there is even a price hike based on this, you're basically getting mad about 1 cent of a 40 cent price hike.
