I believe Kuma's soul was moved into that giant Robot because Vegapunk didn't have it within himself to essentially kill Kuma. Giving Kuma an ancient Iron Giant's soul achieves the same effect and is more humane. Also makes scene why Kuma's current body just scaled the Red Line like the Iron Giant did in the past attacking Mary Geoise.

As a non-American this name still sounds really wierd to me. I just mentally picture meat juice on cookies.

Has anyone tested this on a Steam Deck yet and can report it's performance?

It's sideways for me too.

Reminds me of one of Oculus Quest 2's default envioments.

Too many to count, but the entirety of "Cape Feare" was a good one. I only saw the film the episode was based later on in life. It was one of favourite episodes beforehand and seeing the references only increased my appreciation.

If growing up with Simpsons taught me anything is that you need to get the reference to like the material.

They recently got a new CEO a month ago because Linus the owner realized he was unfit for that purpose. It should have been dealt with years ago but I wonder if some benefit of the doubt can be given here seeing as the company was in a state of transition and probably would of cleaned up the work culture in private.

Or not because Linus still owns the company and the buck stops at the absolute top. He put his friend in high positions so it would cause a uncomfortable position when someone who wasn't his friend lower down the ladder were to speak out. He has also consistently showed toxic masculinity in the way he acts and has spread it within the fabric in the company,

I have no strong opinion one way or another, but please tell me if I'm being unfair here on either side here. I think the company can still clean itself up and has shown actions before it was publicly known to address it, and I also think the company has misogyny in it's corporate structure and DNA which will constantly be problematic.

Realisticly he was brought in last month so he wouldn't have had time to properly analyse the corporate side of the company. Right now this is the best time or a fresh face on the top who could create change from the top down where these kind of discussions now has real weight behind them.

I think the best way to discourage misogyny is to suspend Linus who would be looked at as the source of it for 30 days and demote Colton who failed in his duties to protect every employee at LMG. Get someone outside LMG to manage Human Resources. Maybe one day that trust might return.

Imagine just how much worse it would have been if she just came out randomly. The fact she made a glassdoor review long before and it wasn't picked up says a lot about LMG's audence.

LMG has a massive frat boy culture to it. It was never hidden, in fact it seemed like it was welcomed and encouraged.

It's been repeatedly proven that large companies get a impenetrable wall of armour based on fear of speaking out due to fear of retribution or breaking an important connection. Once that wall is broken it allows grievances to finally pass though.

 

Croydon locals want to see the town’s most historic area reach its full potential. With buildings dating back to the 14th century, Croydon’s Old Town is steeped in history.

At the heart of the Old Town sits the Croydon Minster, which is believed to have been founded in Saxon times and a church building on the site is referenced in the Doomsday Book. Six Archbishops of Canterbury are buried in the Minster and kings and queens were regular visitors to the archbishops at Croydon.

Croydon Palace in Old Town was the summer residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury for more than 500 years. Some of these original buildings are now used by Old Palace School.

 

London is home to hundreds of fish and chip shops, some better than others. But one, in particular, has been crowned London's best by TripAdvisor yet again.

Sitting at the very top of the site's ranking is The Golden Chippy. The Greenwich spot was opened in 2005, after Chris Kanizi arrived in London in 1977 to study medicine. He ended up an expert 'fish surgeon' instead, and since its opening, The Golden Chippy has become a local favourite.

Its reputation only grew after it was named London's best restaurant on TripAdvisor in 2016, beating the likes of Claridge's and The Ritz.

 

Summer has landed in the UK, kicking off with a heatwave which has seen temperatures soar – and left many of us wanting to get outside and embrace the warmer weather.

Of course summer is also a good time to go and catch a movie, as it’s traditionally blockbuster season – but heading to the flicks may not be your best bet if you’re hoping for some sun and fresh air.

Unless, that is, you opt for an outdoor cinema – and with a bunch of open-air screens once again popping up in the capital this summer, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Whether you want to catch a classic or check out something more recent, here’s our pick of London’s best outdoor cinemas for this year – and what you can expect from them…

 

Archaeologists have discovered that the huge Roman mosaics discovered near the Shard last year, were actually part of a Roman tomb.

This rare piece of history was discovered just a stone’s throw from Borough Market and London Bridge station, said the Museum of London Archeology (MOLA).

The remains of the structure at the Liberty of Southwark site have an ‘astonishing level of preservation’, making it the most intact Roman mausoleum ever to be discovered in Britain, according to MOLA.

 

Thunderstorms have brought torrential downpours and flooding to parts of the UK on Monday.

Cars could be seen ploughing through deep puddles after flash flooding in north-west London.

Meanwhile, Manchester City's victory parade celebrating their Treble win was delayed by 30 minutes due to lightning.

Official weather warnings have now passed for Monday, but two storm warnings are in place for Northern Ireland and Scotland on Tuesday.

The yellow warnings, which mean storms may bring some disruption, will cover much of Northern Ireland, and a western area of Scotland from 12:00 BST to 21:00.

 

Do you have any recommendations for parks, preferably one with lots of shade?
