The late 90's produced a whole bunch of 3D FPS which are objectively better than the 2D FPS of the mid 90's, but also somehow, not as fun or as memorable.

Like there is an article that could be written about why games like Blood, Day of the Triad, Shadow Warrior and Redneck Rampage are better than Blood II, SiN, Kingpin or Jurrasic Park: Trespasser.

Sorry, Blood 2 is objectively better than what exactly?

A similar game was Mech Warrior 2(but high end PC games based on Tabletop properties.)
I remember the kid up the street having MW2 on his more powerful PC and instantly being sold on the concept of 'flight sim but big stompy robots.'

I still think about buying the new one on PS5 but then I also remember hearing the devs are either chud or chud adjacent, which makes me sad.

quote:

Asylum seekers housed in UK hotels to have allowance cut to £1.25 a day

Tens of thousands of asylum seekers forced to live in hotels in the UK while their claims are being processed will have their allowance cut to just £1.25 a day, the government has said.

Support payments for those in hotel accommodation will be cut from £9.58 a week to £8.86 a week in the new year, in a decision refugee charities have called “unfathomable”.

The change was disclosed in a form of legislation called a statutory instrument, which was quietly released by the Home Office last week.

There has been a growing backlash among Conservative backbenchers over the £8m a day cost to the taxpayer to house people seeking asylum.

Ministers promised to end the use of hotels in May 2021 but were struggling to set up the Rwanda deportation plan that they hoped would deter small boats from crossing the Channel.

Enver Solomon, the chief executive of the Refugee Council, said the change in the rules would plunge more people seeking asylum into poverty and destitution.

“They are constantly struggling to afford even basic essentials, such as basic toiletries and paying for travel to attend Home Office appointments, at a time when the cost of living is rising. This has a real impact on the mental health and wellbeing of men, women and children who are already coping with trauma and anxiety,” he said.

So however many billions is being dropped on housing these asylum seekers. 99% of which goes to private companies.

Some mps kick off about this unacceptable cost. Solution: whittle down that 1%.

My numbers are estimates.

It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

£1.25 x 7 = £8.75, so there's a few pence rounding difference going on somewhere, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Thanks, I didn't read it properly missing the per day/per week change from one paragraph to the next.

Edit: so before the cut it was roughly 1.36 per day? Very grim.

:siren: UKMT Solidarity Fund Update, December 2023 :siren:

We hit a nice big milestone in the month of November: we have now exceeded £25,000 paid out to goons in need. Give yourselves a good old socialist pat on the buttock, because that's a whole lot of sex arses purchased comrades helped.

Christmas is coming, which means everyone is feeling poor, and yet somehow this is the traditional time of year to make appeals for donations - so sure, if you're some moneybags who can actually afford presents for all of your family and still have something leftover, please do sling a portion of it our way! It is 100% redirected to the needful, and 0% of it goes into the pockets of us volunteers running the show!

Talking of which, brace yourselves for Solidarity Fund committee elections in the New Year - January's monthly update will include a request for self-nominations. We skipped these elections last year in an attempt to avoid having to redo our Charity Commission application with a new set of names, but we are at this point planning to restart the whole thing anyway, so that's no longer a factor. Incidentally, if you have some knowledge of the charity application process and some free time, do consider putting your name forward for the committee, or just let us know if you're okay with us hitting you up for advice. Anyway, more on all that next month.

Let's pop up some stats!

I thought an MP immediately stops becoming an MP once there's a successful recall petition? I could very easily be wrong.
