    Design by spreadsheet. Short term profit is king. Where CEOs are appointed for multi millions of dollars. Where record profits are NEVER enough. Where the actual workers are treated like shit and lose their jobs at the drop of a hat (yet haven't the nous to self-organise as a collective entity because unions are bad mkay) Where most consumers buy what's presented to them without thought. Because of plastic shiny advertising and because the guy next door has it. No matter who or what was exploited. The problem isn't Lee's, and it isn't limited to the gaming industry. It's ALL our problem and it don't see it get any better any time soon Happy thoughts[emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Currently started to re-read 'Life and Fate' by Vasily Grossman. It was banned in Russia and would possibly be one of the most important books of the 20th century but for the fact that it took a long, long time to publish. When Grossman submitted his manuscript in Russian in 1960 he was told it could not be published for 200 years. Two years later he was dead of stomach cancer, his novel confiscated, “arrested” as he said, for he had assaulted Soviet totalitarianism. Also I just started a collection of Asimov's robot short stories.

    Aye, thanks Dave, think it's Motorsport 6 you sent around. I have the latest, Forza Horizon 4 on PC, which is amazeballs. I wouldn't mind trying out Forza Motorsport 7 but I'm pretty covered with Gran Turismo Sport on PS4 too. New track on N200 category is actually ok when you find the right car. Avoid the Alpha Romeo, it oversteers like crazy. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    You can get excellent monitors at 1080p and 144 refresh rate around the £150-£200 range at 24 inches.

    It's changed its meaning a few times over the centuries to be fair and I suppose it annoys me because it gets in the way of us dealing with some very serious issues, and stops ppl looking at things honestly. The use of 'fascist' and 'nazi' is also easily thrown around, often by people who should know better...pointless and solves nothing. And yes, I agree, part tribalism, part deliberate political marketing. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    And a comment from someone on the video above that made me laugh: "The combat is warframe is crazy. Its like they took a cover based combat system from a game like gears of war and replaced the cover system with cocaine and flying."

    Going to revisit Warframe on PC. It's free

    I agree mostly, I just find it interesting how capitalistic corporations can be described as 'left', whatever their mooted socially conscious ambitions might be. The word has been diluted as to be meaningless and used as an easy box to put all manner of conflicting ideologies. I find it lazy. But (a) I think this conversation doesn't belong on this thread and ( I will be more considerate in future in how I present my arguments, and don't take it personally, I don't discriminate when it comes to being an annoying cunt[emoji8] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    I ften don't even realise when I'm writing on these topics regarding how it looks, I probably should but I'm like a dog with a bone sometimes. I had an extra pint at lunchtime today and my annoyance was obviously influenced by that, though I can't use alcohol as a defence in a court of law so shouldn't use it here[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Funny, according to Adam, controlling public discourse is supposed to be left leaning. And, there's no lefties on this site as far as I'm aware. I'm done. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    I called you out for the 'left-leaning' bullshit, that's the context I'm after. Why are these corporations 'left-leaning'? Are they Marxist? Leninist? Trotskist? Stalinist? What is 'left' about a capitalistic enterprise? Socially left? What the fuck does that even mean? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    'Wilful' ignorance Adam, try reading and comprehending before reacting. But yes, when you come on here spouting opinions without context, I will always make a point of drawing that to your attention. What else should I do?

    It's funny which point you picked to reply to eh? Not me picking up on the wilful ignorance of your post, that's for sure.

    All public discourse is controlled and always has been. That you're still on this left/right bullshit is laughable. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    The criticism of the game is all from people on the forum who didn't actually play the Beta. It's almost like we're primed to dislike, somehow. Nutty, Blue and Jewboy's opinions would be welcomed, as they all played it and enjoyed it You are all welcome to your second-hand opinions of course
