“I’m a sleazy fuckin creep, where did I go wrong?!”
- Comment on 1 day ago:
I’m playing baldur’s gate 3 and loving it. Wasn’t that AAA? I’m planning to try the game of the year winners and nominees for the past few years - I haven’t much gaming experience, but if a lot of ppl think they’re good, that’s a recommendation to me. I think they’re not all AAA productions though. The only problem I see with AAA games is the expense - but I can wait for steam sales. But yeah, in thinking to play tactical breach wizards next, looks great.

I kinda feel like it’s going to struggle to live up to all this hype, no matter how good it is.

This is why companies should be worker owned cooperatives. Yes, management is a useful skill, and the workers can hire it.
Wishful thinking I know, but so much more sustainable.

If AI ever reaches the point that it can produce a creative, fun game that feels worth playing - which I doubt, because you gotta have a soul to make art - then anyone can press that button. Why would people buy their game when they can get AI to make their own?
He’s right, these people have shit the corporate bed.

Yeah, and it’s all made up money and value. Capitalism seems to have reached the runaway diesel engine stage, where it ain’t going to stop until we cut off its oxygen or it blows the fuck up.

Great, I’ve been meaning to play Witcher 3 for ages and it’s nearly reached the top of my ‘play next’ list. Be nice if the remaster runs on steam deck.

Lol they kind of have a mutually assured destruction thing going.
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 2 weeks ago:
I played it for the first time about a year ago and actually really enjoyed it. But yeah, it did feel like it could have been a bit shorter.
Did you mean bioshock 2 is better or infinite? Cos I’ve not played either yet.

IMO that absolutely is misleading! It’s like the fuckers have squeezed another number in somehow! I guess they didn’t feel they could use zero lol

Everyone draws the line somewhere.

Yeah that’s definitely AI. At least there’s no doubt now.
- Comment on Frustrated GP patients hang up as Yorkshire accent baffles AI receptionist 3 weeks ago:
This shit might actually be an improvement on my GP. They put you on hold, annoying music and regular messages saying “You are now number . . . 53 . . . in the queue.” Then, after an hour, when you’re actually number 3 or something, they automatically hang up.
- Comment on Fired Rockstar devs don’t want you to boycott GTA 6 but ask for support - Dexerto 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

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.

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.

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.

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? 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
Yeah, you’re probably right. Shame though, I like keeping active.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 1 month ago:
I’ll check it out, thanks.
- Comment on Can darknet fill in for NHS? 1 month 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? 1 month 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.
