It feels a bit late...

Joe Brumm, who created "Bluey," is writing and directing the film.

This is the only real detail that isn't already in the headline

As of now, it’s unclear if Corden is referring to first-party or third-party games making their way to Microsoft’s consoles.

This is news only when either: a 1st party strategy is confirmed, or 3rd party titles are named.

That 3rd party timed exclusives go multiplatform eventually is just business as usual.

Its usually the use of gambling terms or imagery that causes this.

"When Poker Meets Solitaire" with standard playing cards is the issue.

Australia recently passed legislation where “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” get an M (recommended for but not restricted to 15 or older) and games that feature “simulated gambling” get R18+(restricted to 18 or older).

If this title was classified today it would have the same issue there.

"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

As an example of this, one of the easiest and most performant methods a nation has of blocking a website is dictating which DNS records its ISPs return for domains.

This has the advantages that it doesn't require traffic inspection and doesn't slow traffic at all.

But it has the disadvantages that it has an all-or-none effect on the domain e.g. it can't be used to bock specific pages.

It can also be bypassed by simply using an international DNS server. There are people bypassing this kind of censorship without even knowing they are doing so.

There's always some sort of excuse with them. Have to go pick him up from the bus stop, have to go pick him up from school because they got in trouble, dance recital during the middle of the day, always something.

I am a single parent and work the same hours per timesheet and get the same allotment of personal leave per year as everybody else at my employer.

If I happen to use that personal leave to pick up a kid who threw up in their classroom while somebody else uses it to see their optometrist or attend a funeral isn't really anybody's business.

I take one early afternoon each week to take my kid to an after school activity, this puts a weekly 2 or 3 hour deficit in my timesheet that I either make up by working a bit longer on the other days or if the sheet doesn't balance I make up the difference by spending some annual leave. (I try to avoid using AL like this because I would rather save it for holidays but it is occasionally required.)

I don't telegraph all of this timesheet accounting to my colleagues, they will know which day I'm leaving early that term and the rest isn't really their business. At the end of the day/month/year I have my schedule OKed by my line manager and work the commitments of my contract.

But when it comes to ordinary normal people who don't have kids, it feels like there's a lot more scrutiny. Why do you need a doctor's appointment in the middle of the day? Why do you need to go pick up a prescription at lunch time, like why can't you work through lunch?

If your employer / manager is second guessing your leave thats an issue between you and them and shouldn't have your looking at your peers with resentment.

Branding aside, the GameCube had:

• four controller sockets built into the console
• a media format with much lower capacity than the competition
• a controller with one primary thumbstick and two primary face buttons.

These feel like vestigial N64 features

Edit: and three shoulder/trigger buttons!

While they do like to mix things up on occasion they have there fair share of consoles that feel like iterations on a theme.

• NES>SNES
• N64>GameCube
• GB>GBA
• DS>3DS

With official announcements of a Switch successor including continuing software compatibility it seemed likely that it would keep the general form factor.

similar aesthetics but with a larger screen and Joy-Cons

Well that was fun.

My bot didn't get 16k but it felt close.

True, but we don't use HDD for much anymore.

Does it need to be at movie scale?

A 30min workplace sitcom about running the whitehouse in that world might work.
