- Comment on Day 743 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 hours ago:
It was originally made with NPCs in it, which made it play better as a single player game - but they took them out and focused on multiplayer (amongst other stuff) for… 10-15 years…
As in your case, I think 10-15 years ago, I probably had enough game-playing friends and enough “lack of responsibilities” to play multiplayer things (before it had any multiplayer) but not nowadays.
There have been a few reasonable NPC mods over the years (and probably there still is?) - but we’re still waiting for NPCs to be put back in “properly”.
In theory, version 43 is the NPC one, which I’m looking forward to.
- Comment on Barclays spots a chance to profit from extreme weather crisis 1 day ago:
… but if you splash a bit of paint on their windows, you’re a terrorist, apparently.
- Comment on Why don’t Gen Z buy rounds in the pub? 2 days ago:
If you’re out with four people, if you’re doing rounds, you’ve got to have four pints if everyone’s putting in equally.
If you only want two or three pints, you can’t buy rounds.
The government (or was it the NHS or someone?) says we’re not allowed to have four pints, because that’s now binge drinking.
So we only have two or three nowadays. So we don’t buy rounds.
- Comment on Blow to NHS as Royal Mail raises prices for bulk users by a third 2 days ago:
Don’t worry, I’m sure the privatisation will bring costs down… any minute now. Vince Cable says so.
I’m sure their core of “high quality investors” will be along to sort it out any minute now, won’t they Mr Cable? You lying sack of shit.
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 days ago:
You think that’s fancy? One of the stations I go past has a vending machine. Imagine that? Chocolate on demand!
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 days ago:
Larger stations normally have toilets - but they’re not necessarily in working order, and the odds are they’re not on the “platform side” of the ticket barriers, so maybe a 5 or more minute walk to get to.
Quite often the train is only in these terminus stations for 5 minutes.
Smaller stations in-between are normally just two platforms and a bridge to get to the other side.
- Comment on Train drivers in Great Britain consider strike action over lack of toilets 2 days ago:
I fully support them on this. Nobody should be forced to piss in a bottle or shit in a carrier bag at work these days. I’m surprised this is the first we’ve heard of this.
- Comment on Labour overtakes Reform in voter poll for first time since March 2025 3 days ago:
It would be such a shame if they all fought each other and backstabbed over the leadership and either outed each others arrestable crimes or split off and formed a few more of their own splinter parties.

- Comment on Palestine Action activists face being sentenced as terrorists over bank damage 3 days ago:
Why are the windows at Barclays so expensive? You’d think a bank would be good at managing money, but here they are buying windows for £50,000 each.
- Comment on Labour overtakes Reform in voter poll for first time since March 2025 3 days ago:
Their problem is likely finding a replacement who could sustain a year or so of attention without anyone finding something incriminating.
There’s a lot of fraudsters, traitors, sex offenders, public and loud racists/homophobes/sexists on their books.
- Comment on Police officer calls trans protestor ‘pink-haired thing’ in accidental bodycam recording 6 days ago:
Initially I thought “What?”, but the report seems to clarify that someone allegedly swerved to deliberately run over a pigeon, then reversed back to beat the pigeon to death with a walking stick, in front of the entrance to a “pigeon-friendly” vegan food shop. Someone reported this as “potential animal abuse” to the police. I imagine the police ignored them or told them to fuck off, hence the small protest.
- Comment on Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters are officially in the works 1 week ago:
I wish they’d remaster them in the style of Fallout 2, or Wasteland 2 or 3.
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 2 weeks ago:
It’s true. I remember at school, some kids got bullied for putting their school bags on both shoulders, as the “cool way” was to put it on one shoulder, and sort of hold it on with your hand. “Oi! Two straps! Kick 'is head in!”.
With that in mind:
^ look at this guy with a little picture next to his name. Who does he think he is?
Oi, picture name! What are you doing with that fancy picture in your name? Do you think you’re better than us?
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but that’s only because the people that live on the other side of the river, half a mile away from where I live, are inbred, swivel-eyed, six-fingered, web-footed mutants who talk in ridiculous “wrong side of the river” accents.
When they say the word “road”, the “o” sound lasts 0.1 seconds longer than when we say it. “Ooh, look at me, I’m from the wrong side of the river and I’m walking down a rooad”. Pricks.
- Comment on \*levitates ur frog\* 2 weeks ago:
He wants you to think that, but actually he stole them from Xerox.
- Comment on Mocking regional accents is last form of acceptable discrimination, says MP 2 weeks ago:
I think it should be okay to mock the accents of anyone whose accent is more Southern than yours.
When it gets down to Cornwall, it wraps back round and they can mock the accents of Shetland and Orkney.
Then it’s all fair.
- Comment on Man arrested over social media post threatening to shoot Farage 2 weeks ago:
Are we still okay to say things like “Nigel Farage should be Trebucheted into the sea” or “I wouldn’t be upset if Nigel Farage ended up being guillotined”?
- Comment on Britons urged to take ‘small steps’ to prepare for potential national crises 2 weeks ago:
I think it was partially covered under “wokeness”, but you’re right, it should have had its own section, higher up the list.
- Comment on Fake football shirts worth £5.5m seized in one of UK’s biggest counterfeiting raids 2 weeks ago:
I can buy a real one for about £50. Why would I want to buy a fake one for £5,500,000? It’s not worth that at all.
- Comment on Britons urged to take ‘small steps’ to prepare for potential national crises 2 weeks ago:
- Blame foreigners
- Blame EU rules
- Blame "wokeness"
- Redirect more money towards the obscenely wealthy
- The market will sort it out
- Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage 2 weeks ago:
It’s a good question, but I guess it’s fine. Farage doesn’t live in Clacton either.
- Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage 2 weeks ago:
The poll was just a quiz, for information or fun.
The actual vote is local only, for the people who live in Clacton.
However, though only a local election, because Farage is also the leader of a political party, the result will also be used politically, to say whether people generally support or reject him and his views, and those of his party.
Because he’s a… let’s say “controversial figure”, then there’s some degree of national hope that he’ll be defeated and ideally, embarrassed.
- Comment on Reform councillor claims protesters 'abused our flagpoles' by hanging Pride flags 2 weeks ago:
Many Reform Councillors are experts in most kinds of abuse.
- Comment on Bayeux Tapestry arrives in UK for first time in 900 years under police guard 2 weeks ago:
It was made here, so it didn’t arrive from anywhere else (though the linen/wool etc may have).
I don’t know how it left 900 years ago though.
Probably just rolled it up and chucked it on a horse and carriage, and then a boat. It would have been a lot less fragile then.
- Comment on Graham Linehan gets £25,000 compensation and an apology from Met police after arrest 2 weeks ago:
That’s not what I would have given him.
- Comment on Greens demand political donation cap to end political grifting 3 weeks ago:
They appear to be a right-wing troll. I think you can safely ignore them.
- Comment on Revealed: Farage’s £5m gift reported to UK crime agency over money laundering concerns 3 weeks ago:
Somebody needs to “Yewtree” Christopher Harborne’s computers.
“Reclusive billionaire who moved to Thailand” is a euphemism for a reason.
- Comment on Delivery firm Evri sues BBC for £1.2m over Panorama documentary 3 weeks ago:
Maybe instead of suing, they could stop and think “Why is our company so bad that Panorama has to make a programme about us?”.
- Comment on Making public transport fully accessible ‘could boost UK economy by £176bn’ 3 weeks ago:
Yes, but they also need to persuade the selfish or right-wing parts of the government and population that it’s okay to do this.
- Comment on Week-long heatwave due in England with 34C peak in south-east 3 weeks ago:
I wish I had your optimism! I didn’t realise the UK’s humidity could go below 60% (I must admit I don’t exactly keep an eye on it all the time).
