  I’ve just been reading up on this. It’s a law from 1994 and as I understand it; these laws were introduced to protect smaller family retailers and to help people attend church. If so, this feels like an incredible outdated and archaic law, no?

  Does Lemmy have a LoTRmeme page yet? That was one of the few subreddits that I truly miss lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadlock: How to select or level skill on controller?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mean to sound like I was complaining, I was trying to express my surprise.

  I said in my comment I’d used a controller to play on PC. When I played Deadlock (a week or two ago) the controls were most certainly not configured (at least not via PC + wired controller) hense the community keybinds.

  The only thing I can suggest is; either there has been an update in the last week which has added support or it’s configured for the Deck but not PC+controller yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadlock: How to select or level skill on controller?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My apologies, when I said released I meant released for public testing / playing (ie, it’s current state).

  I’ve played a little with keyboard and mouse as well as a controller (using community settings) and currently it very much feels like it would be difficult to play with a controller (I’d like to stress I’m hoping and happy to be proven wrong about that further down the line).

  My surprise was that Valve have brought about a game like Deadlock which currently (to me) feels very much like a keyboard and mouse only game. Again, looking forward to that potentially changing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deadlock: How to select or level skill on controller?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With that in mind, the game is likely to feature controller support when it releases on PC, as it is expected to be Steam Deck compatible.

  I hope so.

  It baffled me that Valve released a game that isn’t really compatible with controllers not long after releasing the Deck. I was kinda hoping Deadlock would be very controller friendly. When/if this happens I’ll give it a second look.

  Hmmmm.

  We’re losing out on money by keeping it illegal (taxation) and using taxpayer money trying to stop it?

  In our two party system both Cons and Labour don’t want sensible drug reform either… Somebody make it make sense?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Half-Life⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It holds a very special place in my heart.

  I remember playing Half Life at my Grandparents house, my grandfather or Dad stuck me on Half Life (they had a PC) and I loved it.

  I was only able to get past the first few zombies (by fleeing) before having to give up from being too scared lol. While I had played other games / consoles, Half Life was the first game I played that blew my mind and gave me a “wow” factor.

  I think other than the original I think Opposing Force is my favourite of the expansions.

  Thanks for the post; I’m due for a reply 😁
