Have to disagree with you on echoes - I loved the game, but IMO it was much easier than Prime 1 - the most difficult boss was the probably the boost guardian midway through rather than any of the endgame bosses. The ammo system made the standard power beam too centralising which was boring, and the dark world damage just served to slow the player down, since the light fields regenerated your health.

Yeah I'm not a constitutional expert but I'm 90% sure this won't work. Like professor Twomey said, we elect individuals, not parties (which is what this basically is) - and what happens if they have a falling out, or disagree on a policy position?

No one's suggested it yet, so I'll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

You do you, but if you're reverting to binary to explain how simple it is to add values together, I think you've made a wrong turn somewhere.

Those are so easily commensurable! It's 1 and 59/64 obv.

I legit can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Did Labor learn nothing from the last time they were in government? This just seems like a rerun of the Rudd-era ETS legislation, no doubt along with blaming the Greens rather than the opposition when it fails to pass.

What's more interesting about the shutdown is how this might affect IoT devices that rely on 3G - e.g. Canberra's public transit system uses the Optus 3G network to enable its MyWay card system - once it goes down, what will that mean for commuters (especially given that Transport Canberra doesn't accept cash on buses since COVID).

Here's another example where trying to chase the live-service money train has just ended up with a subpar product that people abandon or avoid almost instantly.

Unfortunately I suspect the wrong lessons will be taken away from this as well - e.g. the console/PC gaming market is too fickle, etc.

Yeah I don't understand the premise of the headline either - unless it's supposed to be some slight on 'inner-city lefties', being the only ones who could possibly want an EV...

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.

OK, this is one collab I definitely didn't see coming. What's the crossover between Porche owners and Overwatch players?

I haven't been following it super-closely, but this reads like the SMH is trying to drum up homophobic controversy where there wasn't any.

My understanding was that the murders were commited by a spurned lover (who happened to be a Police Officer) as opposed to some systemic homophobia within the NSW Police that led to the murders.

No doubt the NSW Police could be more receptive in general, but I don't know if they'd have treated the case any differently if it was a heterosexual officer who was spurned and committed murder - probably more of an indictment on the awfulness of the force than any particularly political or social bent.
