After 14 years of tory rule it's baffling and infuriating to watch labour squander a huge majority with unpopular policies and some of the worst optics I've ever seen. Where is the vision?

Appealing to the right to win votes from the right wing party has literally never worked, but they'd rather bury their head in the sand and keep the same failing strategy.

There is no game press anymore, unfortunately. Unless you're a massive upcoming title, it's very hard to get the attention of any of those outlets.

Pretty much every connection or opportunity I've made can be attributed to a DM I've sent or had come my way.

Sometimes they don't reply, but when they do great things can happen!

for like 300 years these goons have drilled it into us that you can't just take someone else's work - that's copyright infringement.

However, if you steal ALL the work that was ever created - That's simply the cost of progress.

Oh, awesome! The update will primarily focus on expanding our reach to new players and will introduce some minor fixes. If you decide to jump in before then, I don't think you will be missing out on anything.

We've been working on an update for Loco Motive that we hope to be ready for our anniversary next month.

Can't believe it's almost been a full year since we released the game. Time has absolutely flown!

Loco Motive ($14.39) - a comedy point and click with fantastic animation, putting you as the prime suspect(s) for the murder of Lady Unterwald. never misses a chance to be extra expressive, made for those who loved the goofy energy of Ghost Trick and Sam & Max. store.steampowered.com/app/1709880/...

It's this exact scene but instead of the mash mountain it's a potato Polanski

Were you just eating huge scoops of mash like you would a tub of ice cream from the freezer?

It can be incredibly hard to see your progress when recovering from depression or burnout. The whole world keeps demanding certain benchmarks of you to the point that it’s easy to feel like a failure despite your hard work. Remember your progress is your own journey. Every win means something.

Their biggest problem seems to be that other people enjoyed it, and they feel like it's getting a "pass" because they didn't personally like it. Very normal behaviour!

I think Steam should read your review out to you in text to speech.

had a laugh looking at the Steam reviews this morning for Loco Motive. A point and click masterwork, or a game so bad it hurts the genre itself?

A positive review for Loco Motive that calls it a point and click masterwork

A negative review about Loco Motive that calls it a disservice to the point and click genre. It's also very, very long.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
