If people like this they should definitely check out Burnistoun, the sketch show Rab made with Iain Connell for BBC Scotland - it’s absolute gold. Two Litre Bottle of Ginger is still probably one of the funniest sketches ever written.

The film snob wants all movies to be great, the film hater wants to prove all movies (even the ones that appear great) are actually bad.

Massively under-appreciated strategy campaign narrative. So many good bits! Bannon’s self-sacrifice, the soldiers finding batteries for the Walkman at the end…

This is why I will bang on about Far Cry 2 being the best Far Cry at any given opportunity. 3 removed all of the wonderful friction from 2 and was a far less engaging game for it. There’s a better parallel universe where FC2 became the open world game template instead of 3.

Feels like Sega’s been severely neglecting Relic for a while - impression I got from CoH 3 was of a great team that was severely under-resourced (thinking here of the unfinished UI, huge number of re-used art assets from previous games, the general jankiness of the campaign etc).

I’d say it’s like you have the class you currently actually are (based on education, profession, wealth etc) but you can claim to be the class your parents were. This only passes on one generation though, so Starmer can claim to be working class but his kids won’t be able to.

Funny how the UK has ended up being the exact opposite: admitting you’re from a middle- or upper-class background means your success is unearned, so people from wealthy backgrounds feel compelled to summon up a working class relative (however distant) as evidence that they are actually working class

In the UK the chancellor recently made headlines by insisting that an income of £100K a year ‘doesn’t go as far as you might think’. Unfortunately these people run the country.

Especially now that blatantly middle- and upper-class brits insist they are actually technically working class because their great great grandad worked in a mine that one time.
