Yeah but that probably won’t impact the share price that much, for some reason.
- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 18 hours ago:
They’re publically traded - they now only exist to generate profit, and that’s the only metric that matters to them. It’s the same in any industry, unfortunately.
- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 18 hours ago:
The only bit that matters is the first sentence. Games are here to make money now, same as everything else.

- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 10 months ago:
I suppose it’s not solely for gaming which turns me off the deck option; it would also be serving as the entry point for some self hosted stuff I’m running on the clunky old unit that’s still chugging along.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 10 months ago:
So possibly a false economy then?
I guess the scale of the unit is appealing - even a micro HPX doesn’t come close; but that’s the trade off I suppose.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 10 months ago:
What’s the benefit of that Vs this? I don’t care for portability and I like the option to at least crack this open and expand a few bits (if I need to).
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 10 months ago:
How would you break it down?
PC Partpicker disagrees with you, especially at the reduced price on the Amazon micro option - making some assumptions on equivalence between the ‘baked in’ chips and proper GPU etc.
I’d assume that economies of scale play a part too.
But I’m willing to accept that I’m wrong!
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 10 months ago:
Are they cheaper, though?
GPU prices being what they are an equivalent full size card, and the same CPU aren’t far off the full build cost of the micro unit I linked to, and that’s before cases, power supplies and whatever.
I understand the service situation; but that’s not worse than my laptop/integrated devices - and this still has some scope for replacing non-soldered parts, presumably.

- Comment on ‘Don’t call this racist’: row grows over motives behind England flag campaign 11 months ago:
Flags: not racist
Using flags to create an atmosphere of exclusion: likely racist, definitely xenophobic
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good flag, and the St George’s cross is a great design (esp. When it doesn’t have “England” written on it) but 90% of the people flying the flags are slow witted flag fuckers who are upset that brown people exist in “their” country.

Um, this is almost definitely the primary reason:

I doubt it - these will have the chocolate dropped over them rather than being dipped in. They’ll just run on a conveyor.
- Comment on Inconsiderate fucks who litter 11 months ago:
I mean I live in the UK so it’s not a massive risk (part of why it’s acceptable) but I have a farmer friend who almost lost a seasons worth of crop to a fire started by a fag end flicked from a car.
But yeah, smoking correlates with poor behaviour more broadly in various ways (in my experience). I feel like such a crank but I identify strongly with Costanza screaming “we live in a society” more than I’m comfortable with when I see people brazenly littering (esp. fag ends).
- Comment on Inconsiderate fucks who litter 11 months ago:
My neighbour’s douchebag boyfriend drops his cig butts all over the front of their (her) place.
I found one flicked onto my front windowsill literally this morning, on my doorstep nearly daily, and it turns out that he’s been chucking them out of a window and they have been ending up in our shared guttering for months. This affects about 4-5 other houses as well.
Smoking is an inherently selfish act - but at least have the good grace to keep your fucking plastic pollution to yourself - especially when you’re smoking outside your own goddamn residence!
- Comment on I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it. 1 year ago:
We have the benefit of a private education system whose primary output is financiers and politicians - give the septics time to figure it out.
- Comment on Where will it stop ? 1 year ago:
One of my go-to pizzas back in the day was sweetcorn, pineapple, and black olives.
I love traditional pizza, but sometimes, you want to get your freak on.
- Comment on Where will it stop ? 1 year ago:
It’s mildly infuriating that I don’t have this slce of pickle pizza in my mouth right now.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 year ago:
Honestly I don’t know enough about the way that it’s run to give a correct answer!
I mean even pre-privatisation the rail service was being reduced (Beeching’s cuts etc.) so there’s clearly a cultural element at a government level, but the actual running of the rail firms is pretty opaque; there’s a lot of subcontracting, and the profitability is high, with reinvestment in the railway services not being proportional to that. I suspect that the culture around rinsing public services for private gain isn’t quite so dominant in Japan, but again, I couldn’t comment on that really.
We also have relatively old infrastructure, comparably narrow gauge railways that we would struggle to update because the country was built up around it, but this might be a bit of an old-fashioned take. I’m sure some transport historians could set me right!
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 year ago:
Wait until you hear about the UK! I own the freehold to my land, but technically it’s gramted by the crown, so I could in theory at any moment have my home taken from me.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 year ago:
I think people forget that many of the highways in The West™ were created as part of glorified jobs programs too.
These projects run like utter shit now in places where work is tendered out to corporations now of course, because they’re being driven by private bodies whose sole motivation is profit, not the creation of useful infrastructure. In my own country HS2 is a beautiful example of this.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Huh, TIL.
Should probably get some therapy soon then - had a bunch of uncles top themselves.
- Comment on More than 150 farms in England caught using local water illegally 1 year ago:
It’s insane.
What gets my goat the most is that farmers take collectve action over the most insanely selfish shit, but are happy to be absolutely rinsed over things that are actively making their lives worse!
Imagine if they actually pooled their resources to make sure they got fair pay from supermarkets instead of shitting themselves over inheritance tax and hunting bans.
I say this as someone who lives and works alongside farmers. I have a huge degree of respect for the amount of work a lot of them do, but fuck me they’re a short slighted bunch.

Absolutely amazing take.
Maybe worry about the state of the NHS rather than your election prospects?

Imagine being such a shitty manager that your workforce walk out on you.
- Comment on More than 150 farms in England caught using local water illegally 1 year ago:
Yeah but remember! No farmers no food! They’re the unsung heroes who do no wrong and are the guardians of the countryside! /S
- Comment on Resident doctors accused of ‘greedy’ pay demands before Streeting talks 1 year ago:
It’s a difficult sell because it’s unreasonable.
Doctors get paid vastly more than most of the public (I’m both the private and public sectors), including the healthcare workers whose labour supports them in their work.
Has anyone seen a rise in wages which is equivalent to the increase in inflation?

So she’s been caught speeding and got caught again, and again, and again, and again!
