  • Every so often I'll have another run at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure from 1984.

    You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.

    It is pitch black.

  • Fair enough, but you keep your no good hands off Rich Evans, y'hear? 😁

  • Redlettermedia, Internet Comment Etiquette, Minute Physics and Crash Course.

  • They're hack frauds! But they've always been consistent hack frauds, so it's all good 😁

  • Ha ha, amazing! I salute your fortitude in getting through them all 😁

  • I agree that it's amazing, but it's fine for them not to like it IMO. I loved it but it's quite challenging and the style wouldn't be to everyone's taste :-)

  • I managed one page and gave up. Dreadful stuff.

  • Sounds fun! 😁

    A few suggestions:

    B52s - Rock LobsterSmoke City - Underwater LovePJ Harvey - We FloatThe Beatles - I'm Looking Through YouSebastian (Little Mermaid) - Under the Sea

  • Exactly.

    What do you mean you've never been to Alpha Centuri?

  • Oh ok, that's a shame. I've got to Level 32 on the YT one, can't recall if there was an office level or not though. Weird that it's not working for you 😞

  • Hyperspace bypass.

  • As a counterpoint to that, after WW2 the UK created the National Health Service, comprehensive education and the rest of the welfare state, while nationalising many huge industries. For the UK that was pretty radical stuff, and it lasted until the 1980s when Thatcher and her mob started tearing it all apart.

    Whether you'd call that modern I'm not sure, but it wasn't traditional either.

  • I agree with this, and yet British politics currently feels a lot more fragmented now than it used to.

    The Tories are likely looking at being reduced to a rump at the next GE, and Labour will probably get a kicking too, unless they smarten up their act toot sweet. Meanwhile Reform will likely gain a lot of seats (vomit) and the Greens may start to get towards double digits. And the Lib Dems will likely just keep on Lib Demming along.

    I think there's a very real chance of a proper hung parliament next time with no obvious stable majority coalition possible:

    • Reform perhaps to win the most seats (although I am desperately hoping that their claimed support will not translate into as many seats as they think) and try to partner up with the Tories and maybe some of the Ulster Unionists
    • Labour to probably lose half their seats, and be forced to look at possible LD, Green, maybe even SNP partnerships.

    And possibly neither side able to put together a working coalition that would last for very long.

    In which case, FPTP would have done the opposite of the two party system and led to even more divisions! Fun! 🤪

  • They're randomly loaded. It's a little game they like to play.
