  • I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.

    It’s absolutely baffling but probably not how you’d expect… I found it pretty technical and demanding. It’s like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It’s Japanese to the max.

    I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.

    One thing I like about Lemmy is how interesting articles that I want to read all the way through are recommended pretty often. And often from sources I would never usually read. That seems to be missing on Reddit.

    It’s fascinating how the writer of this piece sees the situation, as he doesn’t believe Tories are ‘baddies’, just corrupt and incompetent. There’s been almost no discussion this election about the damage the ‘competently evil’ wing of the Tories has done to the country through austerity. They are so much more dangerous than the incompetent ones.

    TLDR: the tories fucked the country in almost every way you can think of, through short termism and ideological zealotry.

    Not a very controversial statement - but the article is extremely good if you want that deeper detail and analysis.

    Bravo that guy and the LRB. An absolutely devastating read. It’s concisely written, but still long as it tries to outline the sheer scale of the damage the Tories have done over 14 years. I wish this was read by more people.
