  The original Stargate movie did that, though I don’t think it’s a majority of the dialogue.

  “unprompted”, really?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Me? I didn’t even make the original comment. On one hand you dismiss the historical status of pubs as community places by isolating me enjoying it as an individually me thing (I guess I’m single handedly keeping all the pubs in the UK in business; also nice job cutting out me saying I’m seeing a lot of younger people at pubs too to make your argument sound better), then you say you are not doing that exact thing? Make it make sense, without the preachy “ah I’ve read you like a book” attitude.

  Also, rude. I think we’re done here, not sure what got your ego all hurt but we were just having a discussion here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pubs could stay open until early hours in move to boost UK growth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do most of my social hangouts at pubs, be it to have a nice indoors place to chat (esp when it gets late) or to play Magic. Same with most of my friends.

  Even if I go outside of my friend group, pubs are usually full, of young people too, and there’s a reason their name is a shortened version of “public house”. Sure you could argue younger generations are going to the pub less and less, but to say that historically it has not been the social centre of UK towns is false.

  Also for your last bit, if at least some at the group buys something it should be fine, obv don’t go to a pub and take up space without giving them any money. It doesn’t even have to be alcoholic drinks either.

  It’s the cornerstone of interacting with your local community in the UK. You don’t even have to drink, it’s a cozy, generally quiet place to socialise.

  I’m envious of your energy if you’re willing to spend it to set up a self hosted thing to batch process 5 images when there’s an off the shelf solution that works just fine but has ads. Sometimes the job is big enough to be annoying to do it one way but not too big to be worth the trouble of setting up an entire GitHub repo locally.

  Well most review sites give it high scores with the negatives being primarily the performance so at least this time there might be a good game in there somewhere underneath all those shader compilation stutters

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But they’re not pdf/e-pub. I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be mean but people not wanting scripting on their sites are a niche inside a niche, so in terms of prioritising fixing things that’s a very small audience with a very small ROI if done they might require a huge rewrite. It’s just not financially feasible for not much of a reason other than puritan ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about?! Apple was forced to follow EU regulations and allow side loading, they complied by only making it available in the EU. “This is wrong” and you’re just spouting nonsense. If I want to do business in your country I need to follow your country’s regulations, this includes customer and worker protections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Convenient you’ve specifically not quoted the circumstance in which that should apply. This is companies which serve UK customers in the UK, the fact their servers are offshore and the company is offshore doesn’t matter, they’re doing business in the UK by being made available there and thus must be bound to those laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah man they have an obligation(duty) to uphold British law when dealing with British citizens, how’s that hard to grasp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your original comment was about the UK overreaching and policing companies from outside the UK how to do things. You got a reply on how the gdpr does the same thing (please, no one actually implied the legislation itself starts sending out emails, have the basic decency to understand the implication that it’s the EU and UK through GDPR that are pursuing things legally).

  It’s not possible for the EU to fine companies in non-EU countries. They could issue a fine but they have no power to enforce or collect the fine.

  I don’t know why you seek to make the distinction between “fining” and “issuing a fine”, the point was the UK is not the only one trying to do it. Whether it’s successful or not is not the point. Also they can totally enforce the fine by restricting those businesses from doing business within their territory until they comply. I don’t know how you could get it more wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine companies in other countries for failing to uphold the law when working with citizens protected by said law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading most of these comments I’ll have to say this comment resonated the most with me. It’s exhausting to always be the one who needs to put in effort to talk to new people, and then you need to maintain it pretty much one sidedly as well, you end up just giving up on it and looking more for good friends to rely on than romantic things.

  I’ve heard from female friends that there are women also dealing with this so it’s not a uniquely male thing, but social norms have sadly made it so and it really gets to you as a guy when you’re not also being pursued by people. I’ve seen some nice clips tangential to this asking women when was the last time they bought flowers for a guy and some of them couldn’t think of an instance, it’s rough out there, and unless you’re at the top of your game it’s a huge struggle, and with the economy as it is a lot of people people rightfully are, but as you say women are usually better trained to work together on this stuff, whereas guys largely aren’t and suffer alone as a consequence. I’m lucky to have some good male and female friends I can open up to, but I definitely feel like the exception on that.

  You should find a cheap steam controller :p

  Ah yeah I see. Tbh I rarely use it myself but i only play pc games at my desk so I can always use my mouse.

  On gyro it’s rare to find controllers without one these days I think unless it’s like a super cheap 10 gbp controller

  What features are deal-breaker when missing for you? More than 2 back buttons?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  8bitdo pro 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m eyeing the controller op mentioned, 3 trigger buttons + 2 back pedals that I can customize via steam input is the dream. Most 3rd party controllers only let you map to existing buttons on the controller

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is a software solution but if this is for steam there’s an option under controller settings to use a Nintendo layout. I can appreciate the issue more though when you predominantly grew up playing a different platform from the one you’re playing now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also has a switch to toggle the triggers to either let you slowly pull on them or act as buttons, comes with some longer sticks as an option, and an instant disconnect button. I bought it a while back and the build quality is pretty decent, and looks pretty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably just more costly on the manufacturing side. More molds, more pieces to work with, modular structure etc etc. I also think it’s not as impactful, not sure about you but I’ve developed enough muscle memory to not even look at the front facing buttons, as long as I have Xbox button layouts in games, even with playstation controllers lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there many controllers with the ability to physically swap out the ABXY layout between Xbox/PC and Nintendo layout?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the complete opposite experience. So many third party controllers offer hall effect joysticks, macros, back pedals, options for linear or button triggers, etc at a much lower cost than first party controllers. The only thing they’re missing is the dual sense motors but that’s proprietary.

  I recommend checking out the 8bitdo controllers linked in the article, and the FANTECH WGP14-V2 which you can find on AliExpress.
