I think the thing that bothers me the most about gamers having a toxic attitude towards game developers is that it's actually in gamers' best interest to show solidarity with developers against the actual thing that's ruining their favourite games: corporations

how about a surplus of public services? or perhaps a surplus of cash in your bank account after every pay cheque? there's definitely a surplus of rich cunts.

if we must have a national (please god no, but if we must), let it be with TOP Luxon's inability to take charge of coalition partners will pave the way for so many TOP/bottom jokes

This comment sums it up for me. What good is an economy that crushes its own citizens while lining the pockets of a privileged few? #nzpol

Everyone agrees that dogs have intelligence and personality, right? But when a dog gets away and hurts someone, it’s their owner’s responsibility. They can be fined or charged, and in the worst cases the dog is put down. So why treat chatbots/agents differently? The owners should be accountable.

vandalising election signs is Good, Actually. especially national and act ones, they have such disproportionate campaign budgets thanks to bribes from wealthy donors, making them spend as much of that as possible on replacing signs is essential for a fair election

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

How the fuck are we still on "Tidus' voice over in FFX was bad"??? Tidus' voice in FFX was very good, especially compared to its contemporaries! The "bad" part is one scene being wilfully misunderstood, in which he practices forced laughing to try cheer himself up! The "bad" was good! JFC people!

Louise Upston being a condescending bitch, as per usual. Most people rightly believe that URGENCY should be used only for things that are URGENT, not for the legislative convenience of a govt that can't manage its agenda or control its coalition partners. #nzpol
Louise Upston on Adoption of Amendments to Standing Orders:

"We discussed many issues during this process. I want to speak briefly about urgency, which was raised at length in submissions. I think a lot of people misunderstand urgency. A bill being included in an urgency motion does not in itself mean it is bypassing scrutiny or has been poorly drafted. In this Parliament, urgency has largely been used as overtime. Only 10 bills skipped select committee this term, outside the first 100-day plan and the normal Budget urgency. Part of the reason urgency has been used in that way is this is the first three-party coalition Government, which has placed additional"

The Greens election donations thing is a good start but what we actually need is a ban on political donations (aka legal bribery) altogether. Every party gets the same allocated campaign budget, set by an independent body.
