A sequel to Goldeneye by the same team. Perfect dark just wasn't as good and it wasn't James Bond!

Yes timesplitters was close but not quite!

To me it's the responsiveness of older shooters. No slow self indulgent reload animations. No break in control as an animation plays out as you climb a ladder. No or not many cut scenes. No scripted events (never understood modern warfare, it was basically an on rails shooter).

Do you mean diversity in race and gender? I thought the argument was that there's no differences between races and gender? I actually genuinely believe that everyone should be treated equally but your line of thinking seems to suggest race and gender matter in decision making, its contradictory.

So the only reason you get to the top is through force? That's ridiculous, in modern society people also get to the top through competence. When I look around at successful people I know it's because they worked hard, have the experience so that their judgement is respected. In other words people look to their authority on their given domain. Who do you mean in your day to day life that used violence to get there?

Someone company or gov organisation I can't recall who removed all names and gender data from their application process, it decreased the likelyhood of a woman getting hired. Everyone keeps saying we're all stained with some original sin of not being able to hire without awful biases, we're not to be trusted with our own thoughts.

Ah found the thing I was talking about: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-tri...

I like lots of people I disagree with, why is not liking someone the key some problem? In fact I'm not sure anyone has defined the problem of with hiring people you like other than some unsubstantiated claim that we only like people of the same colour and background which in my experience is nonsense.

One of the demands

“believe that our values as employees are not being accurately reflected in the words and actions of our leadership,”

Sorry they pay you to do a job, not reflect your values. And anyway whos values? I'm pretty certain values are a personal thing, how can the leadership possibly reflect all their employees values?

I agree, people I like the most don't share most of my interests at all. Yet time and time again all I hear is that "not like me" means a different skin colour or gender. It's like race and gender are the only differences but at the same time I'm being told there's no differences between races and genders. Which is it?!

So if I'm hiring someone at what point am I allowed to use my own personal discretion? Am I allowed to dislike someone? Am I allowed to say I don't like them so please don't hire them?
