- Comment on UK in secret talks over financial turmoil at IT giant - that could hit benefits and NHS 1 week ago:
I’m shocked, shocked that outsourcing public sector contracts to the lowest bidder results in this scenario.
- Comment on Latitude, Download and Isle of Wight festivals drop association with Barclays over its ties to Israel weapons companies 2 weeks ago:
I mean, it would have been better if they had dropped their ties with the weapons companies.
- Comment on Who is subscribing to Game Pass, PS Plus and Nintendo Switch Online, and why? 4 weeks ago:
Me. I work in video games, and I have kids.

The whole Internet?
- Comment on Thunderful says SteamWorld Build underperformed, reveals it's looking to sell Headup 4 months ago:
Personally I wish they just made a bunch more Steamworld Digs. They could keep churning those out and I would lap them up.
- Comment on The Most Streamed Movies in 2022 9 months ago:
I’ve heard of three of these movies…
Thankfully (?) my kids exclusively watch Ninjago, Captain Underpants and Nailed It.
I do remember a time when our eldest was 3 or 4 and he would watch the same movie on repeat over and over. The months he was obsessed with Robots and Planes Fire and Rescue were dark indeed.

The ever reducing diameter of wraps is the thing that gets me the most. Do they think we won’t notice?! It’s maddening. I want a big wrap.
- Comment on Shopping at Target 10 months ago:
I’ve never been into a Primark, but this looks very much like TK Maxx (which is what TJ Maxx is called here in the UK).
- Comment on "Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product? 10 months ago:
If you’re not paying you are the product. If you ARE paying you are STILL the product. This is how big tech works.
- Comment on EXO-6 Unveils Museum-Grade Collectible Figures from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 10 months ago:
Pike and Spock are uncanny… Nurse Chapel, La’an and Numero Uno are uncanny valley.
- Comment on Enterprise is too gross 11 months ago:
My issue with ENT is the treatment of female characters. It’s not just T’Pol, but she definitely comes off worse. It’s all pretty cringy watching it with 2023 eyes. That crap with the Doctor guilting T’Pol into sexy time Vulcan therapy with Trip, for example. Urgh. Very much of the “FHM” era. That, and most (all?) the characters are unlikable. I’ve tried many times to watch it since the time but struggling with more that 1 or 2 episodes.
