I'm not really a fan of KH but I am happy that JRPGs being released on Steam is expected at this point. There was a time when almost no Japanese games got PC ports.

He's an unhinged anti-vaxxer and all around conspiracy theorist. Summarizing him as an environmental lawyer is being real generous.

And the reason for this is that the "light truck" classification has weaker emissions standards, so they can cheap out on efficiency of the engine which means higher profit margins (and more harmful pollution for us to enjoy inhaling).

She seems like the type that would accuse such people of faking it to get special treatment, because they don't look "black" enough. The right-wing media in Australia were pushing that line for a while (and probably still are).

It could get delisted in the future if there were any licensing deals, although that can happen for any game. If you already own it on Steam you'll be able to keep downloading and playing it indefinitely.

Seems to be aiming for the sexual harasser crowd, as multiple of these have allegations against them.

Carbon prices and other incentives and disincentives can help accelerate this, and renewable tech and green(er) manufacturing will play into this too. I suspect (and hope) the decline in oil usage will happen well before we run low on it.

Apparently, he was disappointed about how trashy the J6 seditionists looked. Although I somehow doubt he would have helped even if they looked "classier" given his history with not paying his debts.

Serious about him being better than the current crop on this very specific issue? Yes. Other than that, he's a piece of trash and a hack of a politician, so I don't disagree with you on that point.

Although frankly I'd be happy if conservatism was buried altogether, and not just "populist" conservatism. Both forms are incredibly harmful to the poor and the disadvantaged in general.

For sure, but even that is above the extremely low bar that the current conservatives (both the party and conservatives in general) have set.

!leopardsatemyface@lemm.ee is slightly more active (that one looks like it's been closed).

I wonder how Boris feels about the current crop of carbrained Conservative candidates, given that supporting bikes was one of the few good things he did as mayor.
