I mean, even though they're not explicitly connected, Guy Ritchie has made a number of movies with similar tone/vibe and London Crime setting. I'm choosing to believe they're happening in the same universe

  • Lock, Stock and a smoking barrel
  • Snatch
  • Revolver
  • The gentlemen (which was also derived as a decent Netflix show)

There's also Layer Cake from Matthew Vaughn which scratches the same itch.

Didn't they get shit recently for AI and crypto related decisions ? Did they backtrack on that ?

It's a licensing issue : Ubisoft is only able to commercialise the songs for a number of years. They recently had to take down the 2014 version because of it. People who bought it can still play it. It's an absolutely awesome product, too bad Ubisoft is making thee brand shit with the latest iteration.

There's already 5 Highlander movies. The reboot would be the 6th

Looks great ! Thanks for sharing

If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been working on it ? Are you working on it full-time ? If not, how do you balance it with the rest of your day ? Are you working on it alone or ... ?

I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it's extremely good at everything. It's extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It's really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.

Its curse is that it's the most niche mainstream language, or the most mainstream niche language.

Yup. Thing is, touch less interaction is very awkward, anything with any kind of feedback is much better (including touchscreen). It never stood a chance

The US healthcare system has provided me with lots of entertainment value via John Oliver's Last Week Tonight. I like it for that

For real though, despite being a software engineer who could find a very lucrative job in the US in a heartbeat, there's no way in hell I'll ever even remotely consider it, and the healthcare system is one of the reasons.

Scala can also be compiled to JavaScript with really good interop with JS libraries, and to native with decent interop with C
