The "nothing to hide" thing is a bad argument, IMO. I've got nothing to hide, but I lock the bathroom door when I go in there.

Sometimes it's been useful to go back through a chat history and find something someone said in the past. A group I'm in regularly rings up old references from a year before. I like it.

I'm a bit of a digital hoarder though. I keep blurry photos from years ago, no clue why.

I see. I just don't have adversaries, and if they got hold of the memes and inane conversations I have about whose turn it is to pick up the kid from school then good luck to them.

People have different opinions about things. Why do you think it's good to lose chat history?

Everything from nearly every company feels like an ad campaign. Companies advertise themselves.

At least with open source stuff there's somewhat of a public benefit.

All the people making the shitty decisions will be fine. Everyday people will be the ones to lose their jobs, as is always the way in these things. :-/

I intentionally read 100s as "one hundreds" after I first noticed it many years ago. It bugs me, but I can't stop now.

Why not just change the law? Seems to be an option whenever other people want to.

Copying and pasting a current example and changing the names... yep.

Instead of making it worse you could extract it to a new file. Make an interface. Write a unit test. Anything.

The guy wonders why the file is 15k lines long and then describes exactly why.

"Why did you pull me over?"

"Sir, we're here because your house was robbed."

"I'm not discussing my day"

"So you can't tell me what was stolen and don't want a police report for your insurance?"

"Am I being detained or am I free to go?"

"You're in your house, sir."

Ignoring the 1984 element for now, this has interested me for a long time.

In the US if a movie contains nudity then its age classification is going to be high, the same as if it contained murder, torture, or other violent actions.

In Germany, anecdotally, nudity is rated as appropriate for a much younger audience than violence.

It makes a lot of sense to me, but I understand why it would take forever to adjust from "puritanical" values to something more open as an entire nation, for example.

I feel like I'm more inclined to go with the FSK rating than the US equivalents, or the UK ones, but that's my viewpoint, complete with all my bias.

Thanks for the warning. Not clicking that and ruining my day.

 

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

 

It's just a screenshot showing Light No Fire is on a lot of wishlists.

Perhaps this is the beginning of the run up to a release date announcement.

 

With all the stuff being added to No Man's Sky I'm wondering what will make Light No Fire distinct.

What can LNF add to differentiate it from NMS?

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

 

Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man's Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he's also used the "world" emoji in posts about Light No Fire's open world.

Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

 

Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

I just want some news, ideally a release date!

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!

 

I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

 

Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.
