I didn't realise Bananza wasn't a launch title, although it's close. Gamecube didn't have a Mario or Zelda at launch. Its big first-party title was Luigi's Mansion. Not sure about handhelds, if they all had a mario at launch.

Yeah, I'm kind of interested in that one now. Is it more skill based than Portal 2 or is it also more of a puzzle game?

Really enjoyed Portal 1, and finished the co-op mode in Portal 2 today, so still got the single-player mode in Portal 2 to start on another day. I don't think I've ever actually played a multiplayer game before that required co-operation; it was things like Mario Odyssey or Kirby Forgotten Land where you can almost get through it all without the other player doing anything at all.

It's quite satisfying that I've got a bit stuck on some of the puzzles, but they are all still solvable without a guide. I think I've got into a habit in recent years of looking up a guide when I get stuck on a certain part of the game, but with Portal I really wanted to work it out on my own so didn't actually have a desire to look up the solution.

 

PSA there's a big sale on the eshop until April 27. Quite a few first-party titles with a 33% discount and others with bigger discounts. I picked up Portal 1 & 2 for about £3, it really is good.

I also discovered https://www.dekudeals.com/ recently - it tracks prices over time so you can see how good the current discount is and physical/digital from different retailers.

I would assume it's a spam email and delete it. Are they really deporting people over email? Seems more like a postal letter kind of thing.

The thing that worries me here is the ones that are marked okay have passed "basic compatibility testing". What are the chances that when someone actually plays through them, something will be broken? Maybe slim, I don't know, but would there be a patch for those cases?

What a weird site. Thaiembassy .com but it's not actually a Thai embassy, it's just some law firm that hooks you up with the visa and gives you a membership card.

How can you get anything done with that? You'll need to keep on complaining, otherwise they'll never do anything about it.

That's cheap. I'm with Virgin, and when I was checking Fibre deals a year or two ago, I'm sure they all required line rental which put the price way up. I can see it's much more reasonable now.

It was hall effect sticks, but OP somehow managed to delete the url and leave the thumbnail image

He really has it in for Lichtenstein

Why are they banning knives and swords category by category (e.g., zombie knives, ninja swords) instead of a broader ban?

 

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.
