I was wondering if any of you guys could please share your opinions about the quality of the latest Hardcover Bloosmbury Adult Box Set.
What about the quality paper and the font used? I’m hesitant between buying this one and the hardcover Scholastic one. If someone have both, it’d be great to have some insights!
The Artwork of the Bloosmbury editions is so beautiful, and it is in British English (as originally written by JKR), but I read somewhere that the paper sucks.
I love the covers and the illustrations at the beginning of each chapter of the Scholastic editions.
Thanks a lot for your opinions!
UPDATE: we're at Lane 7 and 8
The interest check was pretty successful so lets get this show on the road! Monday evening was the most popular this time around. If you got a message from me saying this would happen on 3rd July, I did in fact mean June!
TL;DR
> Bowling at Bloomsbury Lanes on Monday 3rd June, 7pm-9pm. If you want to come, comment on the post and I'll send you a payment link to cover the £15.50 deposit.
 
What is this?
> An event to meet new people and have some fun! The idea is to rotate between different activities like bowling, ping pong, darts and pool. This week, we'll go bowling. I've booked 2 lanes for 2 hours which should be able to fit 12 people total. If more people want to come, I can try to book an additional lane. Newbies, regulars and hardcore LSC veterans are all welcome.
Where?
> Bloomsbury Lanes. Nearest stations are Russell square (Piccadilly), Euston (Northern and Victoria) and Holborn (Central). The postcode is WC1H 9EU and here's a handy google maps link. I've chosen Bloomsbury Lanes because it's pretty central and is the only place I could find that don't require an immediate deposit.
When?
> The lanes are booked from Monday 3rd June from 7pm-9pm. I've booked it from 7pm just to make sure everyone's done with work and can get to the venue before we start. If you think you'll be in the area much earlier than that, let me know and we can go somewhere beforehand to chat and kill some time. (If you want to come but 7pm-9pm is a bad time, tell me and I can change it)
How much does it cost and how do I get involved?
> This isn't a free event unfortunately. I can't pay for us all! The total cost of this is £186, so we'll split this equally between 12 of us and pay £15.50 each. If you want to come, please comment on this post and I'll send you a Revolut payment link. Please put your reddit username in one of the fields so that I know who you are. I'll get a notification as soon as you've paid, so no need to send me proof. When I get the notification, I'll add you to the "confirmed" list. You'll need to pay before Thursday at 10pm because that's when I'll be paying the full deposit to the venue. P

Why has Nintendo now gone two years without a response? We know the answer-- because it is profitable for them to overwhelm the eShop with shovelware and terrible mobile ports for which many people don't even know better.
As you can see here, this is what the feature originally looked like, thank you to /u/FierceDeityKong from their post last year. As per their original post, here is a link to the Polygon article detailing the incident.
I do not believe that the feature requires a text box in which to write a full review of the game (as I can see Nintendo claiming they would be vulgar), but at least give us the 5-star rating system that the 3DS had.
To avoid troll ratings, the feature could be available only to those who have actually purchased the game. Why has this feature taken two years to evaluate, when it is simply a no-brainer for Microsoft, Playstation and Steam? A rating system is the right thing to do.
We need to rally Nintendo to respond to this blatant issue!
They all say the product is remarkable.

Monster Hunter World has again encountered severe launch issues with the newest expansion. Tons of people with high end PCs are reporting the game as unplayable after the Iceborne update.
The issue is worsened by the fact the update is applied whether or not you own Iceborne, so anyone who owns the base game may find they are currently no longer able to play the game they own. It is also worsened by the fact that the base game also encountered many issues with performance and server connectivity when it launched, and the fact that the PC version has had delayed releases. Many question the point of a delayed release when this is the result.
UPDATE - 20200120 - RESPONSE FROM TESLA: https://www.tesla.com/blog/no-unintended-acceleration-tesla-vehicles
ORIGINAL POST: People need to relax. From Toyota to Audi it is always user error and Tesla would know before anyone else and be able to fix it OTA.
If there are examples of acceleration accident avoidance that still get into an accident Tesla would also know the stats on that and if overall it is safer or not.
This is just another ploy to smear Tesla.
https://cleantechnica.com/2020/01/19/that-nhtsa-tesla-sudden-unintended-acceleration-petition-created-by-a-tsla-short-seller-who-doesnt-own-a-tesla/
Edit: Let’s also not forget about all the after market floor mats and pedal covers.
Edit2: I see a lot of post saying let’s wait for the investigation. To be clear NHSTA is still looking into the claims to see IF an investigation is even needed into Tesla. You wouldn’t know it from the headlines. Headlines like 500k Tesla may be recalled do not print that same picture. The fact that the claims were brought to NHSTA and were spewed to the public by a short seller is questionable.
I would also like to remind people that Tesla has already proven its track record with safety and adding features to save people from themselves. If they saw issues they would have already added features or made changes.
What happened when a kid took his dads car and crashed at 127mph? Tesla released a speed limit mode. What happened when a 4 year old pinned his mom against the garage wall? They added pin to drive.
There is a proven track record despite what haters want to think.

Critic Reviews
Ars Technica - Sam Machkovech - Unscored
>It's not perfect. It's not for everyone. But it's probably for you.
Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz - 4 / 5 stars
>The Outer Worlds might not be exactly what you think it's going to be. It's a smaller game, one that focuses on replay value and role play fantasy to really get the most out of the experience. It's a dense game though, where there's plenty of lore packed into smaller sandbox style areas. It's up to you to poke around in the corners of these areas to get the most out of it.
AusGamers - Kosta Andreadis - 8.5 / 10

Hey all, Aldonall from LoLTheory.gg here! Welcome back to The Review, where I use tables and numbers to talk about what Riot's most recent balance patch actually affected, and by how much.
A quick-hitting patch this time around, with changes to a couple recent staples who have been causing a bit of mayhem in solo-queue (Ornn, Sett), as well as buffs to old friends (Graves, Kayn), and the possible resurrection of something I didn't think I'd see again (on-hit Neeko).
