- Comment on Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - Dexerto 4 hours ago:
Won’t be an issue for me - my only gaming device is a steam deck so I very much doubt I’d be able to play this even if I wanted to.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 4 hours ago:
I think people who do work that involves contact with the general public have to be petty emotionally resilient. I am no good at it. A lot of the public are utter wankers and throw you into fight or flight mode.
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 4 hours ago:
Back in the day, I used to eat pretty well out of dumpsters. Wasn’t really homeless, was living in an old caravan, but was proper broke.
These days, at least round here, they lock up the dumpsters, have security guards, or deliberately contaminate the food. Wankers.

They had a better font back then too.

This relies on everyone having high speed internet. I certainly don’t.

Tax write off.
- Comment on 'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game 1 week ago:
My only gaming machine is a steam deck, and I can’t see GTA6 running on that. . . so I won’t be playing it, at least not for a few years until I upgrade.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 1 week ago:
As a gardener, I’m a militant advocate of compost toilets. And usually they don’t make you sound like an big old diesel engine.
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve just made it to the city! I’m at about 250 hours so far, but TBF I am a very slow gamer. Yeah, it just keeps getting better and better as you go.
- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve not got to it yet, but ppl here have told me it’s still great in spite of its age. Just gotta finish baldur’s gate and control, then it’s next on my list.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks, another user has given me some advice that pretty much echos yours. It’s something I will check out. Private care may be beyond my means - but it’s likely to be costly either way, and I’d prefer to stay on the right side of the law if poss.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, you’re probably right. Shame though, I like keeping active.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 weeks ago:
I’ll check it out, thanks.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 weeks ago:
Lol yeah, I know it does. That’s why I don’t really blame my doctor. Particularly as I live in an inner city area where hard drugs seem to be common.
I’m not sure there really is much between paracetamol and tramadol though. I’ve tried co-codamol, which is over the counter, and codeine which isn’t. Neither helped. I had one session with a chiropractor who was highly recommended but that didn’t help at all. Might have made things worse. I’ve found this one thing that does help and I’m pursuing that.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s definitely addictive. However in the couple of months my friend was able to provide me with tramadol I kept it at the same dose every day, didn’t permit myself to increase it. I see this as a necessary medication, not something to take for fun.
And I know it’s addictive - my friend had some packs left from after a surgery, and when they ran out I had a pretty rough week. I consider that a small price to pay for being able to fully function without pain.
I just have no idea how to use the dark web or find reliable suppliers.
I’m aware that there may be problems with postage, but this is a prescription medication - it’s not like crack or something! I’m willing to take the risk.
I’d rather go down a legal route, but that’s not worked out for me.

- Comment on Steam Deck Sales Reportedly Plunge 80% After Price Hikes 3 weeks ago:
It’s my only gaming device, so I don’t have much to compare it against - but I enjoyed cyberpunk on it, and am currently enjoying baldur’s gate 3. But yeah, I’ll definitely get steam deck 2 as soon as.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
What I needed to hear, thanks. Okay I’ll play it next.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Mate the last games I played before I stopped gaming were GTA vice city, silent hill, and unreal tournament. Then I got a steam deck a couple of years ago and lots to catch up on . Favourite games since then : bioshock, cyberpunk, prey, baldur’s gate 3 (playing now, just starting act 3). But I’ve played a few that ppl said were classics I missed out on that I felt didn’t how up - like system shock, half life, a few.
Good to know this isn’t one of those, I’ll pay it next, cheers :)
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Okay, thanks, I’m going to give it a go! Had a bunch of other replies saying the same. I played bioshock for the first time a year or so ago, and I enjoyed that. Prob a remaster tho. But yeah enjoyed it and will prob play Witcher 3 next. Cheers!
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I’ve actually never played it. Had a twenty year gap in gaming until I got a steam deck a year or so back. It’s very well spoken of, but I’m aware that it’s also a pretty old game. Does it still hold up okay?
- Comment on The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: How The New Pricing Slashed Demand by 80% 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s my only gaming device and I’m very happy with it. If they release a steam deck 2 I’ll definitely be buying one. Might have to sell a kidney though.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never played it, but it’s on my list. It is kind of an old game now though - does it still hold up?
- Comment on End of an era? 1 month ago:
I’d say this could apply to a lot of new cars too. But yeah, it feels pretty unusual to see an industry shit the bed like this.
- Comment on If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ?? 1 month ago:
Yeah same, less than I thought : 1445, but I’m pretty sure that includes my OLED steam deck. Savings a little over 2k.
- Comment on Single player games 1 month ago:
Yeah, right. I seem to be a slow player too - at the mo I’m 160 hours into baldur’s gate 3 and still only just in act 2. I think Amy multiplayer game with me in it would be frustrating for everyone. I prefer doing my own thing at my own pace.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 month ago:
Yeah, a lot of people wait a few months for the bugs to be ironed out.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 month ago:
I mean, it’s not likely to run on the steam deck and that’s my only gaming device, so. . .
- Comment on Is gaming better as a kid or an adult? 1 month ago:
I have much less screen time now as an adult. But games have grown in every way and are now a legitimate art form. It’s hard to say if I had more fun playing jet set willy on my 48k Sinclair spectrum, or playing cyberpunk on my steam deck. Both were great, in different ways.
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 1 month ago:
Yeah, nostalgia is a big thing here. Past experiences that were amazing just don’t hold up compared to modern tech. In most cases anyway, some stuff is fairly timeless.
