We've known about the dangers of climate change since the 70s. Is it really any wonder that after five decades of inaction, the "rhetoric" has changed from "Hey, maybe we should work to reduce emissions" to "A lot of people are going to die if we don't take action right now!"

Hawkeye and Echo both heavily feature Fisk, so those should be watched. Can't think of much other than that if you've watched the original three seasons of Daredevil as well as Punisher. Daredevil appeared in the latest Spider-man and She-Hulk, but those were more like cameo appearances.

It's funny, I actually was thinking it's the other way around. Older gamers have a million different things begging for attention, so longer games just aren't as appealing anymore. Younger gamers can easily find the time to sit down for hours at a time uninterrupted.

In reality, it's probably somewhere in between. Younger people also gave increasingly smaller attention spans due to social media, so there probably are a growing number of them that just wouldn't sit with one game for that long.

Good to see another handheld with trackpads. I can add this to the very short list of devices I will consider as a replacement if my Steam Deck ever carks it.

Wonder if they'll be recommending content from all sides of the political spectrum, or just the right-wing content...

Thanks for doing these giveaways! I meant to request games before now but never got around to it. Happy to see 2Dark, it's been on my wishlist for quite awhile now.

I've not been to Florida, so I can only speak to the Australian side of things. Beaches here are patrolled by surf lifesavers and the safest parts to swim are marked by flags. These areas are the most popular and therefore limited space-wise. There's nothing stopping anybody going elsewhere to pitch their cobana, but unless you're a strong experienced swimmer, you generally want to be going in near those flags.

This one has a female protagonist, so I look forward to not being able to differentiate between legitimate criticism about the game, and reviews from man-children that are mad that women exist.

And then if the single player experience bombs, I also look forward to Rockstar pointing to the female protagonist as the reason, and not because they're pouring all their resources into micro transactions.

There's an important bit of context for this that you probably aren't aware of, being from America, and that is that Australia doesn't currently have any nuclear power capabilities whatsoever. We have zero reactors currently, and zero expertise.

While I can't be sure because I'm not from the CSIRO, I imagine their projections take the significant cost of introducing brand new technology into account.

Another bit of context, our conservative party is currently pushing for nuclear as the only option, claiming that it'll be the cheapest. They want to gut spending on renewables because a lot of their funding comes from the mining sector. That's why the CSIRO has done a report on the projected costs on the various options, because that's how the conservative party is framing things. Is nuclear better than gas from an environmental perspective? Yes. But that's irrelevant to the conversation that is happening over here.

"these so-called spontaneous community movements, by apparently complete coincidence, appeared in a range of Liberal seats and made no appearance in Labor seats".

Well, yeah, they were originally Liberal members, of course they'd be campaigning in Liberal seats.

"The intention was to get people to think, 'That nice teal candidate could almost be a Liberal, I'll vote for her.'"

Almost like the Teals are Liberals that differ on one or two key policies.

The fact that he's blaming preferential voting is worrying, I expect the Libs will start adopting that stance across the board soon. Our system isn't perfect, but it's much better than the absolute shitshow that is first past the post.

Girls or woodlice?

Not a surprise that all of Labor voted yes, given their party policy around caucus solidarity. I'd be interested to see a list of people opposed to this bill behind closed doors.

I've really come to despise Labor's policy of not crossing the floor. I get their desire to show a united front, but it really makes it hard for regular folk to track how the party is shifting if we don't ever see who supports what on an individual level.
