We have part-time jobs as well, but those usually come with a minimum number of hours. Zero hours contracts were brought in to bypass those rules. Since zero hours contracts came in, part-time contracts practically disappeared.

Yep, exactly that. There are laws that say if you work more than a certain number of hours per week, you’re entitled to benefits like pension, paid holiday, etc. Zero hours contracts let companies get away with not providing those, as they’ll keep each individual staff member below the required hours, because there’s no guarantee of a minimum number of hours in their contract.

It’s absolutely atrocious, but the government spins it to make it sound like a benefit by saying you have extra time, you can lead a flexible life. What it means in reality for most people is that they need multiple jobs and still get no benefits that a full time job would provide.

Software updates can take quite a bit of bandwidth though. Call of Duty updates are significant events on the network, at the scale of streaming major sporting events.

What’s the source of this?

Don’t forget pwsh! 🤪

Enjoy, they’re all wild rides.

The same director went on to direct Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, and Promare. None of them are as wild as Dead Leaves, but all are top tier anime. He’s one of my favourite directors, and knows how to balance comedy, action and art perfectly.

Peglin merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with Peggle style gameplay.

Slay The Spire merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with a deck builder card game.

Dicey Dungeon merges dungeon crawler rogue-lite with dice rolling.

I got stuck on a theme 😅

Played through the entire game, started on NG+. I really enjoyed it, the story was definitely a Final Fantasy story, much better than XV.

My one gripe is the lack of mini-games, which apparently was intentional on the part of the devs. All side content is still combat focused.

You can get through most of the game not truly mastering combat, but NG+ is a different story. Overall, a solid 8/10 game.

You know what you can do with your hand cream, jerk-off!

Nier Automata for its complex merging of storytelling and game mechanics, kickass soundtrack, and fun gameplay. The camera leaves a little to be desired, but still a game that has stuck with me years after finishing it.

Al Gore made so many appearances because his daughter was on staff as a writer.

Another vote for Edith Finch, the ending made me bawl like a baby. Great storytelling, each level doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, its funny and emotional throughout, but the ending really hit me in the feels.

Literally just saw it, had a lot of fun, and my cynical boyfriend also enjoyed it. The “it’s impossible to be a woman” rant was perfect, even in this gay boy’s view. And “I’m just Ken” is an absolute banger, listening to it on repeat. Ryan Gosling is a treasure. Margot, you’re as great as ever, well done with this, I read about how much of yourself you put into this movie and it shows.

It was all about getting on a good web-ring. I had a few sites across Geocities, Tripod and the like, but getting on a good web-ring brought the best traffic. Don’t forget to put a visitor counter on the page, and a cursor trail will impress everyone. This advice brought to you 25 years too late.
