Until we:

  • Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
  • Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
  • Invest into social housing and ban so-called "affordable housing" lettings.

We'll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.

A Razer product that doesn't work as advertised? Consider me shocked.

Looks like Palia with hobbits. Personally I'm not too impressed, but maybe it'll find its niche.

Nah, the site you're referring to still works from the UK.

I'm looking forward to seeing this, the one-shot was a fantastic read. I hope they manage to nail the effect of seeing Kyomoto's artwork as well as the manga did.

As someone who's played a lot of GW2 over the past couple of years, I can confirm that it's still fantastic. It doesn't get anywhere near the amount of content that WoW gets, but it's on a good cadance these days and outside of buying expansions, is absolutely playable without spending a penny.

I thought this was some humanoid donkey before I read the prose. After reading, I guess I was still right in a way.

I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.

The 4-panel comic features Nano Shinonome, a robot girl from the anime Nichijou, leaving a positive message on 4-chan about Hakase (professor), an 8-year-old genius who invented and built her. Being a robot, she feels she can't morally click the captcha to show she's not a robot, and is therefore unable to post the message, despite that she wouldn't be considered a robot in this context.

This is forgetting, of course, that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to wipe the UK off the face of the earth before we even land the first troops on Russian soil.

With that in mind, I guess he's insinuating we're going to be embroiled in yet another proxy war in the not-too-distant future. I can't wait to find out which poor country is going to get screwed over for the next 20 years in the name of "freedom", only for us to give up and let everything slide back into an even worse state yet again, because Afghanistan and Iraq taught us nothing in that regard.

I came back for Dragonflight and was really pleased with how the game had changed after I dropped it in Shadowlands. I played for 8 months, mostly healing PUG M+ up to +20 but put it on the backburner when the latest expansion to my other favourite MMO, Guild Wars 2, came out. Sadly, there's only really enough time to play one MMO at a time, and GW2 has a long-term goal that I'm trying to reach right now that is a little more appealing than another season of M+. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Worldsoul Saga brings as well as catching up on the latest questlines when I do come back, though.
