Christ, this government is fucking evil.
- Comment on Why do mobile games suck nowadays? 1 week ago:
I was ok with the Angry Birds franchise right up until the shitty kart racing game they pumped out. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more wretched collection of bare-faced advertising and micro transactions as that fucking piece of shit.
The game was crammed full of new pop songs, and when one would play the game would display a link to buy it from iTunes. I couldn’t let my kid play it, it was just too egregious.
Haven’t touched any of those games since. Which is a shame, because I really enjoyed the original.

I remember buying Bioshock on my iPhone way back in the mists of time, before decent controller support existed for iOS. The on screen controls weren’t great, so I didn’t spend much time playing it, always planning to come back at some point.
Then it got removed from the App Store so completely that it disappeared from my purchased list, and that was that.

Seeing this has reminded me to submit my repeat request for my ADHD meds. Now I get to enjoy spending the next week wondering if I’ll be able to get any this month.
- Comment on More than 2,000 NHS buildings in England older than NHS, figures show 4 weeks ago:
I found out the other day that the hospital I was born in was torn down a few years ago and replaced with a fresh new building.
I’m only 43. I feel ancient now.

And visiting Tory MPs.

Wait until they find out she’s only 13.

Yeah, that’s awesome.
Now, let’s see about Red Dead II…
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 5 weeks ago:
I have an M2 Air which can run the Windows version of Steam via Whisky. Its ability can be patchy, but the fact it runs any games at all is little short of a miracle. I’ve been playing The Talos Principle II that way, and while my wife thinks the glitchy graphics are hilarious, I’m not too fussed because the gameplay is still there.
Of course, it’s not perfect, and while I can get Fallout 4 to run, it looks like shit even on the lowest settings. However, in the context of the gripes in this thread, it means I can play Portal 2 and its various mod packs on my Mac. And they look great.

True. But unlike him I’m not greedy.

I’d do it for the price of a reasonable three bed family house, tbh. Save myself the cost of a mortgage every month.

I for one have no desire to see Musk spread thank you.

- Comment on Roads at 'breaking point' as pothole repairs hit eight-year high, report claims 1 month ago:
I hit a pothole at 40mph last week. It was round a corner so I had no chance to avoid it. Hit it so hard the self leveling mechanism in my headlight has broken. So now, thanks to New Forest District Council (and central government for underfunding them) I now have to find the money for a new headlight.

I feel like Wolverine’s adamantium probably shouldn’t be ferrous, and if that’s the case he wouldn’t be magnetic, right?

No ublock for Safari, which, yeah, is Apple’s fault for being dicks, but it still sucks.
- Comment on What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? 3 months ago:
Oh, it’s a stunning game, and I absolutely adored it. But that final boss is an utter prick.
- Comment on What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? 3 months ago:
I ragequit half way through the final boss after having died for the thirtieth time. The game is absolutely beautiful, but fuck me some of it is tough.
Ended up watching the last bit on YouTube. No regrets.

Funny enough, I was working nights at HMV when Skyrim released.
They had a big midnight opening event that was kind of a pain in the arse to us night shift stockers. In the end there were about four people queued up at midnight to get their copies.

Kinda, but generally far more crude. Viz is, as far as I’m concerned, the best possible example of British humour.

- Comment on Today on "Unsolved Mysteries"... 4 months ago:
That’s what I have. My house is quite long, so I’m guessing my landlord ran a cable from the front wall in the lounge through to the office/bedroom at the back upstairs. As a result, we have two mesh nodes hardwired to the router, then a wireless one in the middle to just fill in any gaps. I’ve never had better wifi.

I’ve got my watch on ethernet. The connection is rock solid, but it’s a bugger to get around.
