Sadly, I predict a repeat of this classic:

They found out with GTA V and RDR2…

Not to be pedantic, but Rockstar have always staggered their PC ports all the way back to GTA III. Their strategy is literally 25+ years old at this point and I don’t see it changing.

To play devil’s advocate: physical disc releases are a security nightmare.

Pirate groups pay big money to get access to disc images before release so they can have a crack ready on day 1, and leakers would love to get early access so they can drip feed information for social media cred. The bounty for an early iso of GTA VI would be astronomical.

I do however agree that releasing a ‘physical edition’ that’s just a code in a box is a waste of everyone’s time and money, not to mention materials destined for landfill.

Farscape is great! It’s also weird and very horny.

Rockstar and shoddy PC ports. Name a more iconic combo.

Is she waving? Looks more like she’s flipping them off.

The UN has officially condemned Israel well over 100 times. I doubt one more will make much difference.

I would think that whatever browser you use would, presumably, make little difference to how much data a website tries to send you? It would only change what’s displayed. (But happy to be corrected on that by someone more knowledgeable.)

If your connection really is limited to such a slow speed, you might need to find a proxy server that strips out as much as possible before it reaches you.

The more important goal, at least for the affected workers, is it can lead to an employment tribunal and compensation (with no upper limit) for their lost income.

It’s easy to be cynical about the bigger picture, but don’t lose sight of the fact this can still be a big win for these workers.

I don’t think so - aren’t your pigs in blankets wrapped in puff pastry? Very different to Yorkie batter!!

Our toad in the hole is all in one dish:

Also, UK pigs in blankets are different to US pigs in blankets too, just to confuse things further 😄 we wrap the sausages in bacon

As a Brit, very weird to hear that called ‘toad in the hole’.

Here, toad in the hole is sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding batter. Completely different!

There’s a big cultural difference between Curb and Partridge - cringe isn’t universal!

Specifically, Larry in Curb has a distinctly American sense of individualism. He does what he wants and doesn’t care if someone doesn’t like him for it. The cringe comes from his attempts to enforce his own set of unwritten social values on others.

Alan Partridge is the exact opposite - fundamentally insecure and desperate for approval. His cringe comes from lack of self-awareness and trying to fake social status, which is painfully obvious to a British audience with our deeply ingrained sense of class.

Ultimately, taste is taste, but I think that goes some way towards explaining why some people like one or the other but not both.

Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:

Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.

An entire second GPU just to run it.

Anyway, I was suspecting that this "issue" might come up so I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not.

Great way to torpedo any trust people might’ve had in your project.

Don’t trust anyone who unironically uses the term ‘fake news’.

Kids these days don’t know the horrors of wrangling IDE ribbon cables and fiddling with jumpers.

We already know the affected workers were using Discord to organise. My guess is they were discussing work issues there, and Rockstar jumped on that as an excuse to fire them (as it would constitute a breach of NDA).

Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

This isn’t about you, America.
