it's overlong but you can't shorten it because if you just say "beat the beat" no one will know what you're talking about. also it sounds like beat the meat. also it makes the series title the subtitle so it doesn't even fit with the other games. bad
you know i will 95% use the european localised name for any video game that has different regional titles because a) it's what i know and b) i refuse to participate in the americanisation of gaming history but i have to unfortunately draw the line at "beat the beat: rhythm paradise"
tired as fuck and also as balls

been watching this Japanese youtube channel covering Famicom game secrets and unusual hardware recently & in a video about Bubble Bobble they incidentally showed this inaccurate but very cute artist's depiction of Bub from a magazine around the time of the FDS version's release. i love him actually

That's also a risk of the curfew thing, even if optional. The platforms might well not be arsed with implementing the stupid ideas of a departing government in a small country & might instead set the min age for UK access at 18 to avoid the hassle. So it could end up as a de facto under 18 ban

The impact of this bit about disabling autoplay and infinite scroll by default will depend a lot on how platforms respond. Many don't allow them switched off at all. Would be good if they added the options for everyone. But they might just implement it narrowly or block UK 16-17s to avoid doing it

"Britain's oldest children" is also an extremely funny phrase. Sounds like a channel 4 show about age regressors

Interesting that they cite the low % of self reported VPN use as part of their reasoning for not restricting them. Goes to show that if you are using some measures to circumvent government restrictions it is best not to tell the fucking government about it
ukpol
Well this is fucking stupid but also not as bad as the original leaks considering it can be overridden by the user & they also apparently are not planning to restrict VPNs
