Haha I was thinking along similar lines, my R5 1600 is either going to take to it with it's usual shrug while it rolls up it's sleeves or just explode, it still punches way above it's weight so hopefully it won't explode but she's getting a bit long in the tooth.

I disagree about the publishing side somewhat, every now and then the publishing team hits a home run. Like I've been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo recently which is published by Bethesda and it's a pretty good game, and let's not forget Prey which was an awesome game also published by Bethesda.

So tbey do get it right sometimes.

Being the party of fiscal responsibility they should levy a capital gains tax and a land value tax, a pair of low hanging fruit that would net a good chunk of revenue as well as cooling the housing market.

But of course they're never going to do that, they'll off load the costs of their tax cuts on the poors by hiking GST by at least 2.5%.

I'd recommend Long Dark and Subnautica, they've both got crafting but it's part of the survival/exploration loop and they've both got a bunch of mods (on PC) that are really well done.

You, sir, are worse than Hitler.

Don't forget the big labour union wins for UPS and the Teamsters, no war but the class war baby.

I agree with you, I'd love to live in the world where Vivaldi chose Gecko instead of Chromium, but we've only got the cards we've been dealt so at least the Vivaldi team are always very vocal about this and have always said they're going to work around Google's more draconian decisions.

Not to mention that people that pirate that material are still going to talk about it, so even though they're loosing one sale to piracy they may be getting an extra 10 sales through word of mouth.

Just goes to show, google is an ad company first and foremost and they're in the process of cutting out any competition to their dominance.

Props too to Vivaldi for blowing the whistle as they have access to all the upcoming chromium builds being a fork.
