There's a book about it called 'A Libertarian Walks into a Bear', written by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. It's a great read, although I did find myself asking "WTF is wrong with these people?" fairly regularly.

Is that third one from the famous film Johnny Nailgunhands?

David Lammy is apparently on very friendly terms with him - "apparently" as Vance is someone who appears to see everything as conditional, just like the orange one - and Labour just took an absolute battering in the Welsh and Scottish elections. Admittedly this isn't the same kind of direct contact, but I hope he meets Wes Streeting in the near future as they're both birds of a feather and he'd be an appropriate direct target of the Vance Curse.

Sloptimisation?

Personal favourites:

'Endless, Nameless' / The Wildhearts - from the fake-out beginning (don't turn the volume right up or you'll get a surprise) to the fade at the end, it's perfect to me. Joyously and gloriously noisy.

'Dreamweaver' / Sabbat - complex and clever thrash that gave young me a lot to think about; it's loosely based on a book about a mediaeval Christian missionary and the lyrics are incredibly dense, yet so skilfully done that you don't realise until you look at the lyric sheet and it's huge.

'Dopethrone' / Electric Wizard - for those bad mood days

'Mclusky Do Dallas' / mclusky - inventive and slightly surrealist lyrics, noisy guitars and a great drummer.

'Nothingface' / Voivod - still sounds like it was recorded five years from now despite being around 30 years old. Best description I can give is 'prog thrash' and that's not really very accurate.

'The Big Roar' / The Joy Formidable - noisy indie rock. Not going to win any awaawards for innovation but it's so well done.

Like most people's favourites, these were mostly released when I was starting to develop my own taste in music, and the release dates of most of them will tell you that means I'm getting old!

Fine sentiment from the leader of a party which lost their deposit, only narrowly coming out ahead of a candidate registered as Sir Oinks-a-lot (who I suspect actually had a more sensible policy platform).

This chap was the leader of Reform, Nigel 'Mr Brexit' Farage's party, in Wales and wasn't careful enough to cover the source of his 'encouragement' to repeat pro-Russian talking points. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891403eddet

That they tried to get a foothold here via this useful idiot is very worrying. He got off lightly with that prison sentence; treason used to carry the death penalty and taking foreign money to fluff another state while also claiming to represent the constituents who voted for you is easily read as treasonous. I'd like to think those constituents are a little more informed now but it wouldn't be a surprise to see his replacement voted in at the next election.

Slightly more insidious than that is the attempt to conflate 'socialism' with 'national socialism', i.e. the Nazis. Seemingly every five minutes someone tries to conflate the two despite being on opposite sides of the political spectrum, hence the bullshit pseudoscience that is "horseshoe theory".

Are the subtitles in individual files per language in the game directory? If so, swapping the filenames for English and German while keeping the spoken language as German might work. Not at the PC so I don't know if I have the sequel to test the theory; will check later.

He's the bleedin' son of god, not a bloody goose! Died for our sins and you're trying to attract him like a hunter with a duck lure!

Has anyone questioned why the whole "free house, free TV, front of the queue" stuff - abject bollocks to anyone with even the tiniest sliver of knowledge - might act as an attractant when relayed as fact by the usual suspects? I know that it's way too late to be starting now, but that means it's only the second best time to do so. Tell the poor sods the truth: you can't work, you're given pocket money; you're shoved into any available accommodation at the lowest possible cost (except to the private sector landlords); you're likely to get shunted around at a moments notice, etc.

If the entire local population of a given area has been radicalised to believe immigrants are a threat, how is integration supposed to happen at all, much less be successful?

Labour Party, my arse.

Does that controller work with one of 8bitdo's wireless dongles? They're pretty cheap - I paid around £8 for mine a few years back - but it will need a USB-A port free. Might be a stopgap so you can decide if something else better suits your needs.
