In video game design this would be called "emergent storytelling".

What a timeline we live in. Makes you sick to the stomach. Innocent people slaughtered in the tens of thousands, but you're not allowed to say anything that might be offensive to the perpetrators.

Solidarity with Bob Vylan and Kneecap.

Very antisemitic! Palestinians have been killed, but by what? Nobody can tell for sure

What's the correct pronunciation here? Because I keep reading it like "Bob Dylan" but with a "V."

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

That is correct

[–] goatbeard@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think that's the idea. Like villain.

So if the BBC is primarily funded by the licence fee, and you can request to not pay the fee,have you all done so?

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 36 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Nope, I pay it, and I'll continue to. I see no reason to destroy our biggest public service broadcaster to the exclusive benefit of weaponised, billionare-owned, politically motivated, right-wing media like in the US. The flaws of the BBC exist thousandfold in those that are clamouring to take it's place.

lmao. lolll.

There are independent left-wing media outlets you can give your money to.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 9 points 2 weeks ago

Who says I don't? But none of them dominate the mainstream like the right-wing outlets do, and the only significant oppositon they have is from the BBC. The BBC may have warts, but I'm not going to let good be the enemy of perfect.

I haven't ever paid it, but only because I'm an insane person who doesn't use anything that would require a TV license

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bad news, I'm afraid: communications received from alien emperors while in a mushroom-induced fugue count as live television under Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, even if it's timeshifted and redshifted.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

They can't be emperor, I didn't vote for em

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

You and me both. I also don't feel comfortable giving money to people who protected a bunch of paedophiles.

Only thing I really watched on the BBC was Doctor Who and thankfully that's been shit for years now. Thanks Chibnall.
