This is how you celebrate and maintain a legacy but well loved game. I still remember booting the game up for the first time on release day (after hours and hours of downloading haha, boy did Steam suck but look at where it is now).

What CEO would publicly acknowledge they did a shoddy job and missed a huge profit opportunity, putting their job on the line.

They still totally dropped the ball on this one. Especially since the big thing they did do is fuck mods by updating the engine and fucked Fallout London in the process. Muppets.

It’s clearly appealing to children and it’s not quite the holidays yet. I’m sure it’s on a fair few presents lists though.

Why anyone would downvote this is beyond me. More than ever, we need to strengthen regulations across the board when it comes to knowingly spreading misinformation, failing to do due diligence if you’re in a position of power and spreading unverified information, privacy and right to be forgotten with AI, and so much more.

You can still use the hearing test feature by browsing this link on your Apple device:

x-apple-health://HearingAppPlugin.healthplugin/HearingTest

Sixth and Seventh Generation video game consoles were still using scart/composite/component outputs for CRT up until their discontinuation in 2017 so I’m pretty sure a lot of kids would have had a CRT to game on as well was watch TV in their rooms.

Remember, kids typically get the hand me downs when the adults get new shiny.

In the United Kingdom, people just add a contact to their phone book called “ICE”. You can learn more here.

I’d say that sound was more on the side of industrial / hardcore jungle, blending in rock and pop, with touches of shoegaze. Dubstep grew out of grime, and drum and bass, etc grew out of jungle.

He’s a DJ Hype track from 1993 that gives you a taste of where jungle was at then which might help you see where dubstep came from.

I live here too but I don’t have a personal perspective on the kind of move you’re thinking of making.

What I can suggest is there is plenty of data to help you inform your decision.

Here’s a map of crimes in the UK so you can input a place you’re thinking of moving to and what the crime rate is like in the area (and the nature of the crime).

Guns aren’t a fear here. Yes you can get a shotgun or an air rifle but no automatic weapons, there’s a lot of regulation, checks, and requirements. Even with gangs in major cities, you’ve not much to fear about. And even knife crime pales in comparison to the states. I’ve lived in some of the most dangerous areas and I’ve been fine. With a young woman in your family, common sense, staying to well lit areas etc and they’ll be fine.

Schools are inspected by a government agency called Ofsted so you can look to what specific area of a place you’d want to move to to be in the catchment area of a decent school.

The government department, the Office for National Statistics, has a map that shows where areas of household deprivation are by percentage of population in the area. In general, the higher the percentage on the map, the more affluent the average person is in an area. This correlates with crime so you would be better to find a less deprived area if you’ve a young family.

Flooding can be a risk so you can look for long term flood risk areas here and historic flooding areas here.

And naturally, it would be best to look for a job first as, especially if you’re looking at senior or executive positions, the org may help you with visas and relocating.

Take a holiday there as a family for several weeks. Get out of London and see some places. See how your family enjoy their time there. It’ll give you all some perspective.
