What's the last big budget release that actually left a strong artistic impression?

Elden Ring. You’d need to go quite a bit further back for the last one before that though.

The fact that you think this is an obvious tell just shows that it could be used strategically against you. Some players will use any means available to level each other. Don’t be so sure :-)

The fact that you still have the energy to reply to all these "isn't Redux bad/old/dead?" comments is a testament to the patience it must have taken to get this release out. Thanks for all your efforts.

Have to disagree with you on Half Life: Source. It’s way too glitchy to enjoy from start to finish. I’d recommend playing Black Mesa instead.

Well I’ll be. I’ve got a vinyl copy now so I’m in good standing quality wise.

You should check out the Growing Bin web store - there are some fascinating musical rarities and curios there. There’s some great stuff on Jamie Tiller’s label Music From Memory. His mixes (available on Soundcloud) are also excellent, as are those on the Red Light Radio Soundcloud. I could go on...

I don't think he's conflating the two at all. He's just pointing out that the vast majority of streamers start out by building a following around a single game, and very few succeed enough to make decent money and jump from game to game like your favourite streamer does.

Because the Federal government, not the QLD government, are weighing up a $1bn concessional loan for Adani's Carmichael coal mine. GetUp campaigners clearly feel they can make an impact at the Federal level; it worked during the last election.

That being said, they are equally critical of the QLD government and the corporate entities that are supporting Adani. Have a read of Sam's timeline.

My cousin Sam[0] runs the environmental side of things at GetUp and is putting a lot of time and effort into raising awareness about the reef. They're currently fundraising[1] for a targeted campaign in 12 Liberal electorates with the aim of encouraging MPs to break their silence and listen to their constituents on the issues surrounding Adani and the GBR.

Full disclosure: GetUp is a politically partisan organisation with strong left leanings. But I think the work they're doing around these issues is rooted more in common sense than politics.

Is anyone else involved in any grassroots-level efforts to save the reef? I'd be interested to hear about them.

Can you elaborate on what this does behind the scenes other than using your search term + an additional predefined term for each radio button?

Having an emotional reaction and a strong dislike to the way a corporation behaves, isn't an argument for why it must fail.

I agree with you here, but this is hardly the only argument presented in the article.

Something has to change when investor subsidies dry up. It might be a shift to self driving vehicles, a significant fare increase, or a monopolisation of the market. His assertion (which I broadly agree with) is that none of those seem likely to be successful.
