Finally, someone who speaks to me at my core...

@MartinSLewis I'd rather have the real thing but I'll take the knock off Nintendo ;)

Second weekend in a row where @Barclaycard systems are broken. What a shambles.

How it feels to be scrolling Twitter these days:

@KenneyNL Those looks great! Are the tower pieces modular?

I wish everyone happy holidays! ✨ As a gift from me to you; Pirate Kit! 60+ 3D models for use in any sort of project, completely free. kenney.nl/assets/pirate-… #gamedev #gameassets

Forget the AI aspect of this. As someone that finds Blender daunting, I just want a basic 3D model software that works like that.

Amused by the small detail in The Day of the Jackal that our assassin uses an outdated version of his secret remote access app. Even criminals need to ensure they're running the latest security patch!

@scallywagarcade Any plans to remove the halloween skins? It made my first play of the game very odd today.

@RemapRadio Not sure if you've taken on feedback, but thank you. I love the design but the colours in this schedule are much more readable.

This week at Remap:

@ste_wr Something happen?

So we all agree that’s the end of EGX, right?

@MartinSLewis Another way of looking at it. I find what is essentially a "high rate loan" in disguise (that said, it *is* open and up front) perfectly acceptable vs the "failure" of racking up interest charges every month by not paying off my credit card.

@MartinSLewis Doesn't not paying your CC balance and running up the interest affect your credit score?

My point is it's a COSTLY loan. If you have to, most would be far better to put it on a 0% card and repay it over the 12 months - or even a standard high st card with APR 20%, undercuts many big insurers who charge up to 40% APR.

@patrickklepek Definitely not a fan of the phrase "pushing further some of our key features". AC games have been bloated beyond recognition (which is why last years Mirage felt fresh). I want refinement not another system. I feel like the minority that loved Outlaws too!

Assassin's Creed being "complete" but getting delayed out of the holidays for polish, moving to day one on Steam, abandoning season passes—this is *all hands on deck* for this game to be a hit. That sounds pretty worrying for Ubisoft's overall health.

@ste_wr What's mad is that we've already had studies that show they don't work in medical scenarios and often misdiagnose patients

The twitter tech bubble here will ignore (because echo chamber who love tech eating the world) that the vast majority of the population of the planet will prefer to interact with an actual human, in person, when it comes to medical issues. Doctors aren’t going away any time soon.

Enjoying a preview of the new season of Modern Life if Goodish... Live!

@mikeBithell Completely agreed. The downside is that a tiny percentage of my follows made the jump so I still have to come here :(

lol. Prophetic

@MartinSLewis Any plans to fix your website. Cheap Energy Club only compares against the current rate rather than the future rate, so it gives the misleading impression that fixes are worse.

NEWS. ENERGY PRICE CAP TO RISE 10% on 1 OCT. (pls share). Here's my instant briefing incl who it'll hit hardest, why govt needs change winter fuel payments, standing charges & WHAT TO DO NOW. First, here's the average Direct Debit Cap (it varies by region) ELEC - Standing charge 60.99p daily (from 60.12p) UP 1.4% - Unit charge: 24.5p per KwH (from 22.36p) UP 9.6% GAS - Standing charge: 31.66p daily (from 31.41p) UP 0.8% - Unit charge: 6.24p per KwH (from 5.48p) UP 14% Prices nearly double pre-crisis: This rise means this winter many will still be paying nearly double what they were pre-crisis. From 1 October, the vast majority of homes in England, Scotland & Wales will see costs jump 10% – so for every £100 you pay today, you’ll typically pay £110. To be more accurate, as most of the rise is on the unit rate not standing charge, higher users especially those with gas, will overall see their costs rise by more than 10% rise, lower users less. Govt must rethink Winter Fuel Payments or almost ALL pensioners will need to find £100s more than last winter. While energy will cost less than during last winter’s crisis time, the reduction in rates only equates to a drop of roughly £100 over the six winter months for a household with typical usage. Yet specific pensioner energy support has dropped by far more... Last year pensioner homes got up to £300 extra per household cost of living support - that’s gone, and its loss alone is far bigger than the saving made by slightly lower rates. Piling on top of that is the governments new decision to means-test Winter Fuel Payments, that will leave all except usually those who claim Pension Credit missing out on a further £200 - £300. While there's a strong argument for ending the universality of Winter Fuel payments, eligibility is being squeezed to too narrow a group. Those just above the thresholds will be hardest hit. I'm due to meet the Chancellor in a couple of weeks, and will then be urging her to look at methods to widen eligibility – such as to homes in council tax bands A to D – an imperfect but workable proxy for lower household incomes. People can and should save by switching: The cheapest year-long fixes on the market right now are about 7% LESS than the new October price cap, but they mightn’t be around long, That looks a good deal, as its currently predicted once rates go up they won’t come down. Don’t just jump on any fix though, if you’re going to lock-in you want to grab the cheapest for your use and location, so use a whole-of-market comparison, like MSE’s Cheap Energy Club, and find out who will let you fix for less. Alternatively deals like E.on Next’s Pledge, or EDF Ensure are effectively discounted trackers, where they move with the price cap, but the unit rates or standing charges are guaranteed to be lower. And for more sophisticated energy users the Octopus Agile and Tracker tariffs where prices move rapidly can be far cheaper. Consultation to reduce Standing Charges launched: The Standing Charge is a daily poll tax that means everyone with gas & electricity pays a minimum £338 a year even if they don’t use it. This moral hazard penalises lower users, often many who are vulnerable, and means they will face a proportionately larger rise. I've long called for change, so welcome today's long promised consultation on reducing standing charges today - though I'm slightly disappointed even the maximum proposed reduction is only £100/yr - but I'll hold judgement until I've read the consultation in full.

@bibikigarcia Oh wow. This looks good. Added to my list!

Arco has +150 reviews, 98% being positive ✨ Sadly, we are struggling to make people notice about the game itself, being considered already as a "hidden gem"💎 Our gameplay trailer shows how Arco works, and hopefully it will catch your eye 👀 A RT will help us A LOT🙏

@IVmillennia I had a wave of curiosity to see where we left that project!

@RichardPilot Super secretive, sir!

Check out this savage run! 464m #SavageSlopes

It's a feature not a bug!
