We Australians are blessed to have Whirlpool. They've been around for nearly three decades and are still thriving.
As a parent, helping children to name their emotions when they feel something is the very foundation of getting them to recognise what's happening and developing strategies to cope with the strong feelings.
I've been told by parents of kids with autism, and by friends who's received formal diagnosis that it is a very similar mechanism. The 'label' helps with recognising patterns of behaviour, and helps them to develop coping mechanisms.
I had to double back to this comic, because I only got the pun two minutes after I scrolled past it...
Am Australian. Yes we are.
And also, that is a very nice coat. If I had anything half as nice, I would wear the hell out of it.
A fully white background (as in, literally nothing, just plain white, no numbers) would be much better than whatever that was...
You did the clock a favour.
Yes but it still looks like wombat shit. Exceedingly formidable wombat shit.
Yes, but no. That's the whole point of the rebranding. You will not find the words "Good Old Games" anywhere in their official materials when referring to themselves. They are now "just" GOG.
They still use "good old game" as a tag for some of the games they sell. But they will never utter those words when referring to themselves in any capacity.
Is it silly? Maybe. But it's a valid marketing strategy. How effective is it? I don't know. Maybe ask BP.
They were Good Old Games for about 4 years until 2012, when they started selling modern games and rebranded to just GOG, dropping the whole "old games" moniker.
(Yeah, I'm also old. I was there when they rebranded, but I thought it was recently, around 2020!)
stores from EA, Ubisoft or Epic
Better yet, games
soon
Could you please be more specific? It's been 13 years. Maybe in another year?
As a parent, I reckon a voluntary system like this (if I understand correctly) could be very handy. I could create a child account and automatically get age gated content for it.
And when said child is smart enough to circumvent the system, then they deserve whatever content they manage to get their hands on. I'd be so proud.
But I'm sure capitalism would find a way to abuse and misuse the system for gains.
