Labour neolibs still committed to their 1980s policies of transferring public assets into private hands eh. If NZTA have "spare land" on their books it should go back to the local iwi it was almost certainly originally stolen from. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Labour to require NZTA to potentially give up spare land for petrol stations

It's part of a policy aimed at improving competition in the sector.

wow why are we paying all these HR professionals who can't even make sense of eight pages in a document? Surely its a skill issue we could solve by streamlining the workforce and shifting that function to the supercomputer. Surely.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

One of the more strangest criticisms I have seen about control resonant is that the game reuses a lot of assets over or has quests that are largely using narrative to skirt creating animated characters. I think there’s some real rose tinted glasses for control which did exactly the same thing.

We have been consulting with Arabic localization professionals and my general consensus is that Unity needs to urgently invest millions of dollars into supporting Arabic. None of it works out of the box with Text Mesh Pro and their general UI stuff. Rich tags and other things break immediately.

I never not feel extremely awkward going to a show by my self and arriving early. It’s less anxiety inducing when the show starts but that first line 40-50 min when doors open are the worst. Like what do I do with my self. Help.

We've released the results of our candidate transit policy survey! We asked all mayoral & city council candidates about their commitments to improving transit. Of the three leading mayoral candidates, only Olivia Chow completed our survey; Chris Alexander made a platform commitment to hike fares.

(graphic) Mayoral Transit Scorecard: Transit promises made by the top three polling mayoral candiddates based on their transit policy survey responses.

Candidates: Olivia Chow, Brad Bradford, and Chris Alexander.

Categories of questions: Autonomy and Funding, Affordability, Service and Reliability, Accessibility, Safety

Olivia Chow answered all questions, Brad Bradford and Chris Alexander both did not answer any questions. A commitment to hike fares, not lower the fare cap, and not expand the Fair Pass discount was made by Chris Alexander, so he is given a failing score for his affordability

Game design meme for me and maybe three other people on this site.

Text overhead: "Random encounters help ensure that the the play experiences combat at regular intervals instead of avoiding fights and ending up underpowered, increasing the risk of quitting entirely."

Quantum break, Control and Control resonant are all super hero games. QB makes the mistake of telling you how to play it as a cover shooter when it is not. Control fixes that issue by not having a cover system and powers are more focused on immediate action. Resonant doses the same but melee.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Loving a lot about control resonant so far but like the one thing @remedygames.com could do is tone down the projectile spam. So far in the first 2 hours it’s just a tad overwhelming and leads to some really unfair deaths.

By “deter investment” they mean deter monopoly building. They are scared that they cannot extract all the money if these changes to the grocery sector happen. Billionaires should not be able to influence this kind of decision.

I don’t speak for all trans ppl but politicians if you get asked about the “trans issue”, just say you respect there rights and then deflect by taking about how health care accessibility for all is important regardless of of who you are.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

When you ride the new rail link lines remember that this project took way to long and that national and local government killed any kind of transformative transit projects for the capital city. It’s deeply unfair that Auckland gets all the large infrastructure projects. youtu.be/LE0qCj-kLAg

One of Hideo Kojima's real talents is that he would have exactly this idea but the stew would be dropped off by a drone that sings a little jingle which can alert enemies if they're in range. You then get a phone call from a nuclear scientist who warns you not to eat too much starch and dairy.

I often think about the data structure used in a previous project and how it exposed/packaged a lot of useful information for use in scripting allowing anyone on the team to just prototype a new mechanic in like less then a day. The amount of stuff I just made cause I had an silly idea was wild.
