I’m really hoping that the gap tree felling leads to more of an outcry and legislation against this sort of thing. In ancient Briton, trees were sacred. It’s high time we brought some of that mindset back.

Don’t hold your breath. He didn’t actually say anything about his rewrite other than “better”.

I’m not sure why you thought the US system applied. We’re talking about a British comedian on /c/United Kingdom, on a UK instance.

I didn’t play the remake because of the name changes. I still have my Gamecube copy and the PS2 special edition, so will probably go back to those next time nostalgia bites.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all. The explanation I was given at the time was literally “because it has private browsing”.

It’s not an OS, but I worked for the NHS for a time a year ago. They still use Internet Explorer…

Even if they made nothing, the cultural value of libraries makes them essential.

I’m not OP, but I feel like I want to add on to this if that’s alright. I think it’s often easy to get into this mindset when a trend seems to overtake a lot of the industry. For instance, personally I’ve noticed a common game that seems to get churned out a lot in recent years: it’s open world, but has nothing in it and is given light RPG elements that don’t really add anything. That doesn’t mean every game is like that, of course, but I think it can be easy to fixate on what we’re tired of seeing. Eventually, someone will come up with a new trend, and the empty open world games will fade out, and the cycle will continue as it always has. It’s also interesting to point out that humans tend to remember the past more fondly, so it’s easy to remember old gems and ignore the flops. Anyway, thanks for entertaining my ramble.
