I'm sorry, can you try again but taking 30% of the words off?

In that case, can I advise you to stay the fuck away from Monster Munch?

Still, it feels like the mystery of 'how does Jared Leto keep getting cast in things?' has been solved (he pays for the film).

Also a shame that Leto's 'method acting' involved being an arse instead of going to live inside a small computer case while not on set.

Ugh, a shame for everyone else involved in the film, because there's a lot of good stuff in there if you ignore all that, and people who aren't Leto, Musk or Beast must have worked hard on it.

Oh God, I didn't even know about the last three. Feel dirty.

Also weird that a computer megacorp is touting a game (Space Paranoids: Second Part Of The Name) that sounds like a boring retro-fest that an indie made in Godot (* no shade intended on Godot or indies).

If 'we must place in the top two' is your priority, then Labour policy over the last year+ makes a bit more sense.

I feel like competition law authorities should be paying closer attention to Adobe than they are

Pairs well with the worst and most dishonest payment schemes in the world*. Kicked them to the curb a long time ago.

* for my part, I paid for a new version of Lightroom around the time Adobe bought it out, promising it would not be forced in a SaaS subscription model. Guess what...

I am going FText and NSLOCTEXT all the way on my current project, but it also includes a natural language parser, so I am f*cked on localisation anyway. But my next project may not be so insane.

Dumb question, but I am trying to be better on this so I would appreciate a steer - does hard coded mean 'not an FText type' or does it mean 'not exposed in a .csv file' (or similar)?

I saw the very first Tron at an impressionable age, so my opinion is not very illuminating tbf.

I saw the latest Tron and enjoyed it. I did notice Leto was a producer on it. I am not sure if he had an impact on the film being made at all, which might explain him being in it, or if it is more one of those courtesy/kinda part payment producer roles. Hollywood is weird.

I accept that doing embarrassing things is not a one-off but simply now my personality, so it's easier just to go with the flow. But also, it is the actual law in the UK that pedestrians have to court respect from motorists by crossing roads in an uncomfortably accelerated pace. Every time.

Labour is happy coming second if it means staying in the top two. Same as it ever was.

I have innoculated myself against worrying about doing embarrassing things by historically having done some really embarrassing things. This has been my pep talk/advice column.
