Fantastic game and map. Used to play this on the work LAN at lunchtimes!
Unreal Tournament was released for Windows on this day, 25 years ago (1999).
Facing Worlds is one of the greatest multiplayer maps of all time.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.

How many times do we have to hear this nonsense argument? I know what the right-wing 'ideas' are, I've listened to them and I disagree with them
Why would I need to keep listening? I am not going to change my mind
And why is it never suggested the right should listen to the left's ideas?

I find the number of people saying they want to block her as a response to this genuinely baffling. You don't need to like her. She's the leader of the opposition. Even if you're absolutely convinced she's wrong about everything, why not listen to ideas you disagree with?

Amazing how many people confuse 'bias' with 'stuff they don't like hearing'.

Great to see Starmer committing the UK to a strong climate target at COP29. But.... the framing of (I quote) "What we're not going to do, is start telling people how to live their lives" is unhelpful.
Instead: "We know that people are concerned about climate, & we're going to help them to act"

I know everyone’s saying we need all the journalists to leave Twitter and come here, but what we really need is all the local government accounts and their small departments to get on here because that’s what I miss the most about Twitter. It was how I stayed connected with all sorts of happenings.

Hmm, so I see now that this platform is not really much better than Threads or Mastadon as an alternative to the hellsite…
What it has going for it is mystery (for those outside), good functionality & nice people. But yet to find the breadth of content to warrant more than a single login a day?
