Remember that time when Ireland rerouted an entire highway to avoid pissing off the fairies that truly nobody believes in but we’ll just in case
Oh definitely. Kinda like going to Iceland and having it explained that no, people don’t REALLY believe in elves. Also, don’t fuck with the elves.

Jubei in Ghost of Yotei is comfortably the most annoying videogame character this year. A total boring lawful-good drag on my ambitions to just pursue an ill-advised bloodlust-fuelled rampage of revenge across a small island in Northern Japan. Just let me stab some bad guys already.

So the way the review and planning cycles at Microsoft align, for the last five or six cycles, the self-reflection portion of my review has essentially been "Immediately following my previous review, the plans for our team entirely changed, and so none of the goals set in that are relevant"

This is something my US colleagues - who mostly live in the “cold, dark” Pacific Northwest - don’t really grok. They never get less than 8h25 of daylight, whereas here it gets as low as 7h40. London is well north of Calgary. The most southerly point in the UK is about level with Winnipeg.
For those who don't realise how dark it gets in winter in the UK... It's more northerly than you think. I'm not even in the real north of the country and I'm approximately at the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada. The days are short. And the skies are almost always covered in a sheet of grey cloud
