The fact there isn't national outrage over this is testament to the political ignorance and lack of intelligence of the modern Brit.
If the government came out tomorrow and ordered every house to be fitted with telescreens, I genuinely think they'd get away with it.

I have a suspicion that the majority of overly obsessive anti-AI accounts are born from the same blueprint as Just Stop Oil protestors:
the accounts are funded by AI companies to be as unbearable as possible in order to poison the well surrounding genuine AI criticism.

You severely overestimate both the intelligence and political awareness of the average person.
Of the few people who even know this is happening, most of them won't see it as an issue.

Expect Winds & Waves to be £75/$80 a piece, with £40/$45 DLCs.
Anyone purchasing both copies with DLCs will likely be looking at over £200/$250 all in.
Although if they had any decency, they'd maintain the prices from SV as an apology for how awful they were.
Nintendo just told investors how much it's betting on Pokémon Winds & Waves 🌬️🌊
At its Nov 5 earnings Q&A, Furukawa called Gen 10 crucial as Switch 2 enters its third year and said Nintendo will do its utmost to maximize sales. Here's what's really behind it 👇
📉 Switch 2 sold 2.67M units from July to September, down 41% after the price hikes. Nintendo still needs ~10M more by March to hit its 16.5M target.
🗓️ Winds & Waves won't save this fiscal year. It ends March 31, and the games are only dated "2027." Pokémon is the plan for what comes next.
🔎 "Third year" could be a hint. Switch 2's third year starts in June 2027, which points more to a mid-to-late 2027 launch. Not confirmed, just a read between the lines.
🤐 Nintendo doesn't own Pokémon. It holds about a third of The Pokémon Company, so Furukawa can't share numbers. But a Pokémon hit pays Nintendo three ways: hardware, software and its share of TPC's profits.
📊 Pokopia sits at 4.04M on Nintendo's charts, but TPC says it's past 5M. The gap likely comes from Japan, where TPC handles Pokémon sales.
🚀 Pokémon is already at its peak: a record ~$3.4B year for TPC and 500M+ games sold, all before Gen 10.
🔒 Switch 2 exclusive. No Switch 1 version, so this is the big push for families to upgrade.
❓ Still unknown: release date, price and any console bundle.
Will Winds & Waves be your reason to get a Switch 2? 👇

Realistically, whoever delayed WiWa is irrelevant, as long as the games are up to scratch.
The delay has put huge but necessary pressure on GF to produce a brilliant game and frankly if they aren't at least top 3 of all time then serious questions need to be asked.

Even if you're a fan of a major club, it's fun to evo youth players or do past and present teams.
But these cunts don't care about that because all they want is the meta. Sort of people who play Call of Duty and use the same 3 guns all year because "tHeY'rE tHe MeTa".

The natural instinct to be kind to animals remains a uniquely British trait.

Being right-wing means seeing one's loved ones and one's country as part of oneself, then seeing the world as neutral territory to be judged on an individual basis.
Being left-wing means seeing the world as all good and one's country and loved ones as either ally or foe.

The best litmus test as to the true nature of a government is to observe how each side of the political divide act during confrontation.
Whichever side is quickest to resort to violence is almost always the side to which the sitting establishment leans, regardless of label.
Calmest guy at the polling place today in NH was the 18-year old that got swung at. We want conversation, not violence!

WiWa is the perfect opportunity to make these kinds of changes. It's GF/TPC's redemption game and they acknowledged as such when they extended development time.
If they can't be bothered to put the effort in this time, they never will.

It's becoming increasingly more common for "gamers" to demand changes to games purely because their tiktok-rotted brains crave that hit of something new.
We tried freeflow battles, they were wank. Turn based battles are foundational to Pokemon games and should remain as such.

Removal of trade evolutions.
It's a relic of a different time that needs to be removed. Simply making the final forms catchable in the wild, like in ZA, is not an acceptable alternative.
We should be able to catch a Gastly and evolve it all the way to a Gengar completely solo.

Bit like spontaneously standing up and announcing to the rest of the pub that you're not a nonce. I didn't think you were, but now I'm convinced you are.
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

He says while harbouring champion of the Online Safety Act, Nadine Dorries, in his party.
But remember, it's all Restore Britain and Rupert Lowe's fault that Reform bottled a 13% lead and are now running 3rd.
Ghastly, draconian madness.
The Tories teed it up.
I will keep the internet free.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Online Safety Act was introduced to parliament by Nadine Dorries, who defeted to Reform UK in September 2025. At the time, Farage said she "will be a great boost to our campaign to win the next general election."

If all patterns are coded in, why not just make them all available via hyperspace from the start so that we can hunt them all? Baffling decision.
