They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.

There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.
GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.
But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.
Technically I didn’t, so who is putting words in whose mouth?
The Chinese government are a ruthless immoral authoritarians. Say what you want about economic systems, but fuck authoritarians.
When the day comes that Brein starts sending notices to pirates, these pirates will just move to Newsgroups and VPNs.
Er means that in English, Frisian, and Dutch too.
*to make sure it was insane enough.
It’s The Mirror we’re taking about.
That’s roughly equal to losing Germany, France, and Italy, the three most populous EU countries.
I think it’s a clever way to get rich people to pay high taxes. Singapore is just not a place suited for private cars for the able bodied. The same policy in other countries wouldn’t be fair, but I could probably see it work in Manhattan or in the canal district in Old Amsterdam.
Handle yourself, doctor.
I couldn’t activate my W11 with a genuine W11 key taken from a previous W11 install.
Isn’t the more likely explanation that they have more to gain from a second Trump term, lowering corporate taxes?
The more they undermine Biden and Ukraine, the likelier it is in their view that Trump makes a comeback.
Neither should the EU
“I guess I shouldn’t have brought my 50kg tote.”
At least 20 minutes is not enough to get to a place you want to visit though, while trains in many places ride straight into the city.
I’ve been using it on my phone for a fair bit. I still run into issues from time to time where pages don’t render properly, but that could also have to do with the adblocking which is a major advantage of Firefox. I only use Chrome now if Firefox doesn’t work.
I used to use Brave for years, and tried Kiwi for a fair bit too, but both of them have their own issues. I’ve found that Firefox works well enough for me now and allows me to stick it to the man.
Incredibly so.
There is also the issue that if you want to work together with other companies who use 365, they often want you to send them files in Office formats. Yes, you can also make Office 365 work on Linux, but at that point people already don’t want to try it out anymore.
Personally I just tried Linux Mint for a short period and there is a lot to love. But I’m doing a huge personal project in which I’m reorganizing tens of thousands of photos which I want to store in OneDrive and backup on a drive. Currently I’m just more familiar with Windows and I understand how OneDrive works (instead of something like rclone on Linux). After I’m done I’m going to reinstall Mint or something similar on my secondary SSD and try to set up OneDrive in a satisfying way.
Ironically I’m biting the hand that feeds me as I work as a lowcode developer using Microsoft Dynamics/Power Platform. But still, Microsoft can eat a bag of sweaty sausages for what they’ve done with privacy, bloat, annoying restrictions in Windows 10/11.
You all keep saying that, and I’m not saying I can’t ultimately make the move, but there’s always something that doesn’t quite work as easily.
Then there’s always a solution to that which isn’t quite what you want and involves a lot of terminal which isn’t really something casual users want.
For me this time it was OneDrive which I want to be able to use, trust, and have control over without terminal commands and a half baked GUI. I get it, fuck Microsoft, but it’s already paid for and we’re not moving because my wife, who is doing dome contracting work, doesn’t want to mess with what she is familiar with.
I absolutely agree.
