There’s also this in the last paragraph:

The most recent video on Look Mum No Computer’s YouTube channel is a clip from a concert, where he attempts to piece together a Blur song on the fly, all by himself, on a bank of ancient electronic instruments.

The link goes to Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz. The title says Gorillaz too. I mean, sure, Damon Albarn is in both of them, but if he knew that in order to make the Blur connection then it only makes it weirder to mix them up

At this point I just kinda have to assume that you haven’t even read the Canary article and also aren’t reading any of my comments. Have fun I guess.

Oh shit, we’re doing something cool this year? Assuming the whole event doesn’t collapse over Israel

In the meantime, Szijjarto accused Kyiv of stopping oil flows for “political reasons.”

Yeah no shit mate

I really hope that the final cutscene is the protagonist escaping to get a world-class chippy

The Times article linked by the Canary:

The BBC is searching for a new editor for BBC News Arabic to try to get a grip on the service

In addition, Samer Elzaenen, a journalist who previously posted online calling for Jews to be shot and burnt “as Hitler did”, was found to have appeared almost 250 times on the channel.

The Canary:

BBC removes head of Arabic service to please racist Israel lobby

The BBC is looking for a new head of its Arabic-language service to please Israel lobbyists.

There was also criticism of BBC Arabic’s guests, because two of them had supported violence against Israelis.

You:

The Canary is calling out the Times’ lies

The Canary’s source for BBC Arabic looking for a new editor and for the “criticism of BBC Arabic’s guests” is the Times article, and the Times article in turn got stuff from the Telegraph. The Canary is not casting doubt on either of those, it is taking them entirely as fact.

Safe to say TheCanary has been completely vindicated.

I’m sorry, how is the Canary vindicated by the failings of the source it used?

It’s this Times article https://www.thetimes.com/uk/media/article/bbc-israel-gaza-war-9frnmgrgg

Michael Prescott is a massive Zionist

The memo mentioned there is the same one that this Canary article is about. This is the Canary’s source. I am not bringing in anything new here.

The Telegraph is the source of the first Times article about Elzaenen.

The claims were made as part of a dossier seen by The Daily Telegraph, which was sent to BBC executives by Michael Prescott

Here

Cut that shit out. The Canary is sourcing the Times and a tweet. I followed their sources.

how much you are quoting the Telegraph as if it’s a reliable source

I literally pointed out that I couldn’t find it anywhere else specifically because I don’t trust it on its own and went looking for the journalist’s own writings. I said this in the comment.

bending reality to defend Israel

Where the hell did I do that?

If the Times article that appears to be the root source of this is correct (and the BBC’s response to the tweet that the Canary links here backs this up), then the guy being “removed” was only ever the interim editor until they found someone to take the job permanently

Additionally, one of the two guests supporting “violence against Israelis” specifically said “We shall burn you as Hitler did, but this time we won’t have a single one of you left” and “When things go awry for us, shoot the Jews, it fixes everything” (according to the Telegraph). I cannot find anything from the journalist Samer Elzaenen himself so I can’t verify this, but if he did say those things then it is deeply dishonest to present it the way that the Canary does here

That’s fair, it is slow and often clunky. I am personally totally fine with the pace of it, but I get why it wouldn’t be for everyone.

To me, the ship navigation stuff was there to make the setting feel bigger and lend weight to the plot rather than the puzzles. I personally enjoyed stopping off at unexpected things I found along the way, or figuring out how to get to some of the less-accessible worlds (the marketplace at the very top left of the map stands out to me here). I’m okay with it not being a tightly-focussed puzzles-only sort of thing

Edit: possibly relevant, apparently the game had some pretty bad bugs with the navigations on launch. I played it after those got patched, so my experience may have been different to yours

Okay, sure. I don’t think either I or the parent comment said it wasn’t DRM, I just read the parent comment as explaining the sentence that was described as ambiguous. The question remains: how is that DRM Steam’s fault?

That’s the connection to the post, but it’s not a connection to the parent comment and also not Valve’s decision

Surely that comment is just getting downvoted for being irrelevant rather than for criticising Steam? It’s barely connected to the post, totally unconnected to the comment it’s replying to, and blaming Valve for decisions made by the Total War devs

The Gobi is in China (and Mongolia, it covers most of the border between them). It’s actually quite possible that the documentary was about the same project as this article, though. The Taklamakan is either next to the Gobi or just the western part of the Gobi depending on who you ask

Better get learning your Welsh mate, King Arthur is gonna return and boot the Anglo-Saxons out

Frankly I hope it follows him around too
