I create them in advance so they appear in game ready-named after my friends so it really hurts when they die
- Comment on Public urged to get flu vaccine as hospitalisation rates rise steeply 5 days ago:
FYI the NHS offer you a free flu jab if you’re over a certain age or if you have health issues, but everyone else has to pay about £30 which is not ideal but could be worse. I reckon most people don’t even know they can get a private flu jab.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 1 week ago:
I usually filter to UK sellers only. Might have to pay a quid or two more but I’ll have it in a few days.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 1 week ago:
I find EBay is pretty good for little cables and adapters, usually cheaper than Amazon too
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
Gungeon is not casual though, one of the hardest games I’ve played!

Where are you from out of interest?

Do you guys call your teachers at school (i.e. not university) “professor”?

Roly polies does sound adorable, I’ll give you that

Ooh I didn’t know you could embed an image and have it as the display “text” for another link

This is the first time I’ve heard anyone call them anything other than a woodlouse

- Comment on New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games 2 weeks ago:
Sticking on a streamer who you can just listen to chat while they happen to be playing a game is just a newer version of having the TV or radio on in the background while you do other stuff. Sometimes we just want to chill and not have to focus!
- Comment on New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games 2 weeks ago:
You don’t have to exclusively play new big-budget games with high spec requirements, an old laptop will play decades of old PC games as well as plenty of newer indies, or you can just go on eBay and buy someone’s last-generation console along with all their controllers and games for the cost of a brand-new game or two!

Here’s a relevant post
- Comment on F2D - Steer To Persevere, a top-down Formula 1 racer with team, race cars and technology management, released on Steam 2 weeks ago:
This actually looks pretty fun, f1 meets micro machines or original GTA. I vaguely remember playing something like it on a Windows 9X machine called something like F2000.
- Comment on The first Pokémon TCG pocket promo set is almost complete with its latest release 2 weeks ago:
All games are like this
Speak for yourself, this is the first game I’ve played since PoGo came out that even has microtransactions in it!
- Comment on We all took the DVD boom era for granted 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen clips and quotes from the LotR behind-the-scenes bits for years, but I only actually watched it all recently. There’s like 12 hours of it and it’s all fascinating!
- Comment on We all took the DVD boom era for granted 2 weeks ago:
Maybe it was just because I was little and new things were exciting, but I loved DVD extras. I remember getting Red Dwarf DVDs and discovering little bonuses and easter eggs hidden in the menus; though I think it was just a cool use of a new technology where the novelty has since worn off.
- Comment on Makes more sense than the Imperial system 2 weeks ago:
And before you say “Well, that is why you use metric”: This solver assumes kg/m^3. That solver assumes g/mm^3 because it is generally used at a very different scale. And that one is kg/cm^3.
Well, that is why you use SI units.
- Comment on Is the UK shut down during easter? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah basically the same, though depending on where you’re coming from the exchange rate might be a bit better!

That kind of attitude is what got us into this mess in the first place!
- Comment on What games have you put the most hours into? 3 weeks ago:
Repentance was such a huge expansion. And it’s getting updated again shortly!

The article implies otherwise
- Comment on sampling bias 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like the lizardman constant
- Comment on Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry 3 weeks ago:
What do record labels actually do in this day and age? Artists don’t need their capital to produce physical media anymore, so is it just promotion? Are artists able to make promotion deals with the likes of Spotify so they can at least cut out one of the middlemen?
- Comment on Whomp-whomp: AI PCs make users less productive 4 weeks ago:
According to the study, 86 percent of consumers have never heard of or used an AI PC.
Count me, someone enthusiastic enough about technology to be discussing it on a niche online community, as part of that 86%. Since when is an “AI PC” a thing? What does it even mean, that they’ve pre-installed a chatbot?
- Comment on SOUL PARK (in early access), a themepark "at the gates of hell" management game, releases demo on Steam 4 weeks ago:
That’s the case for most creative projects, right? Make it because you want to make it, not because you expect to get big and make money. Music, film, craft, games, they’re all insanely competitive fields and if you’re not doing it because you love doing it then you’re going to have a bad time!
- Comment on The Binding of Isaac REPENTANCE+ Is Here! | Online co-op and massive rebalance! 4 weeks ago:
Is this a new paid DLC or just a big update? I assumed the latter but the name “Repentance+” sounds like a new expansion.
