It’s a weird isometric skateboard racing game, for some reason. I sucked at it, but I’m not sure if that’s a controls issue or a skill issue. Manual here, Amiga gameplay video here.

Wild. I’ve played the official one. Never knew this existed.

AdStandards can’t issue fines or force those ads offline. I think that might be ACMA territory.

The article does mention, and I think it’s worth remembering, that AdStandards is an industry self-regulatory organisation. They can’t actually do shit. They call them a regulator, but they don’t have any real power. They don’t do anything proactively, can’t issue fines or legally-backed takedown notices, and their “rules” only apply to members of the AANA. Besides a lot of “we have investigated ourselves and found no misconduct” situations, this means the socmed ads mentioned in the article are functionally unaffected, because the businesses aren’t members. Even members can just refuse breach notices. It mostly exists as a place where consumer complaints go to die.

More giant corporations will definitely solve the problems created by giant corporations.

I have to wonder how much of the “criminals have easy access to guns” rhetoric is actually cooked up by the gun lobby, because the subtext feels like “so shouldn’t you, too?” I’m also seeing a fair bit of noise about Castle Doctrine around the place and it all just feels astroturfed.
