Who’s gonna win you think?

Similar risks I would say. The UK by and large chose “the sensible option” in the last general election. The equivalent of Harris/dems, or the “anti chaos” option.

Reelecting Trump vs reelecting the Tories is a fair comparison, especially as the Tories are moving further and further right wing.

In summary the labour party have about 3 years to make some noticeable impact to people’s lives in the UK, but all that against the backdrop of huge financial issues incurred during the past decade or so, increasing war and conflict and now the Trump presidency.

There very well maybe people who will follow the conservative party on their way further right. The UK already had it’s brexit moment and has not really learned from it fully.

It is surely done after this week!

I wondered whether Franco would get the drive. I don’t think you can argue that Alex has been totally outmatching him so it kind of makes sense, but then Franco doesn’t have as much experience of interlagos (I may be mistaken on that).

Just occurred to me, we have a red bull driver at Williams and a Williams driver potentially in the frame for an RB seat! Strange

Bueno Bueno Bueno

Just quit then, millions have. I have more respect for people still smoking cigarettes tbqh.

I use trello for this

Since joining red bull?

I missed it, who is looking quick?

Maybe bone up on which car has the yellow T-cam, and the and driver’s numbers. The first time I went, I was surprised to learn how much I rely on the timing tower context to know which car is which.

The helmets are also useful but obviously they can change. Eg Ocon’s is usually bright red, Lando usually neon yellow etc

They’ve been crazy on the codes this weekend

It doesn’t surprise me that 1400 presumably anti ULEZ people are dumb enough to ignore their fines

They probably thought literally blowing up some cameras like a hyper local terrorist would reverse the whole thing.

It will take years more but slowly we are reducing the number of cars, London isn’t the worst out there but it’s very slow to act

I think Max had pole in the bag. Ominous for the remaining races to be honest. I feel like the championship will be his by probably Qatar?

That said, definitely excited for tomorrow’s race. Everyone seems competitive

Red Bull looks decent, Max’s lap of 1:33 is quicker than all the pole times last year

Confusing!

He is also an amazing roleplayer

Check out Haunted City, the blades in the dark RPG actual play podcast. Abu is the chaos agent in this and has some amazing scenes. One of the best

Holy cow, this gap before the flyaways is going to break these journalists

Tl;Dr he scored less than half as many points as Max 🙃

Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Nice little storyline. Always nice to have some from mum and dad’s POV
