That "worst case scenario" really doesn't seem that bad to me. Exactly what would happen to any busy that overextends themselves and runs out of money. What, exactly, makes Star so special that they feel they deserve relief from the government?

To be fair, half of the AAA gaming industry is all about trying to clone the latest successful game with a new coat of paint. Maybe using AI to make these clones will mean that the talented people behind the scenes are free to explore other ideas instead.
Of course in reality, it just means that the largest publishers will lay off a whole lot of people and keep churning out these uninspired games in the name of corporate profits, but it's nice to dream sometimes.
Just wait until some oil baron says that sloth-dug tunnels is the way to "deal" with climate change.
The real conspiracy is that there's only one recognised holiday per year for most species on the planet, except for humans that get several per month. Seems to me that humans are trying to keep other species from having enough free-time to plot the revolution.
I'm not fundamentally opposed to nuclear. The country's power needs are only going to keep growing, and I could see an argument for having multiple options for sourcing that power. It's a very expensive argument though, and one that's hard to swallow when all the experts are saying renewable is the way to go, and I haven't seen any projections that show that we'd necessarily need anything other than renewables in the foreseeable future.
The thing I'm strongly opposed to with regards to nuclear is rerouting funding away from renewables to pay for it. It's an expensive technology that won't be ready for decades, so I just don't see the need to pivot to it. If we'd started the transition to nuclear three decades ago things would be different, but the LNP was strongly opposed to the technology back then, funnily enough.
And it's absolutely absurd to then announce a cap on renewables spending as part of their plan to get to net zero by 2050.
The whole thing is a farce, and the LNP hasn't given any good reasons why nuclear is the way forward over renewables. They haven't said much of anything other than shout about it being the better option, but then that's been the LNP's go-to political strategy for as long as I've been old enough to vote so no surprise there.
I think PwC should have had to return whatever they'd charged the government for consultancy, as well as a massive fine on top of that. Governments around the world need to start giving penalties to corporations that actually deter them from doing the wrong thing.
Do we really need a third stadium that will sit empty for most of the year? Especially since it looks to be the more expensive option than a Gabba refresh, even taking the projected displacement costs into account.
I think they need to talk about what they would plan to do with the Gabba if a Victoria Park stadium were to go ahead. It would be more justifiable if they plan to convert it to affordable housing, for example.
Yeah, replying "Get fucked" to a response that brings up a lot of good counter-arguments to your original point will certainly make it look like you were bringing up immigration in good-faith.
Is that a slur? It has a racial component, sure, but I hardly think it is actually a racist comment, and definitely not a slur. And to label it as "racially motivated harassment" is laughable.
If this is actually what Kerr said, it's pretty indicative of the systemic issues that have been popping up in the UK for awhile now. They've been travelling further and further down the fascist highway since Brexit.
In a few years: "Grandpa, what the fuck is snow?"
If it helps, there's very little that carries over between the two games. Without any spoilers, you lose your gear at the start of the BG2, most of which doesn't carry over anyway. You will start with the level you finished BG1 with, but BG2 boosts brand new characters to a certain level anyway. And I don't think the games track decisions made throughout like modern RPGs do.
That said, I played it years before Beamdog released that interlude DLC, so maybe things have changed in their Enhanced releases of the games.

It's 662% higher vs 7.62 times. So if x is the amount that big tech is reporting, the actual number is x + 662% or x * 7.62, both gives the same result.
