High Dairy Milk Interface?
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 1 week ago:
Apparently he bought it so he can steal endangered animals and make them fight in a “death arena” in his back garden. Please don’t fact check this, just accept it is true.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2 looks amazing in the 21:9 ultra-wide 1 week ago:
I’m not so sure. From someone who grew up with 4:3, for some reason 16:9 felt like they added a bit to the sides, but 21:9 feels like they cropped a bit from the top and bottom. It feels a bit squashed to me.
Outside of aspect ratio, the graphics look beautiful though.

I love a detective game. Looks fun - I’m going to get this later :) I’d not heard of this one, so thanks for sharing.

- Comment on Met Police chief gives phone firms deadline over thefts 3 weeks ago:
Kill switches for stolen phones means kill switches for all phones.
Who is in control of the kill switch?
Given that people store banking stuff, train tickets etc on their phones, it means you can be left penniless and stranded if the phone suddenly stopped working.
- Comment on Tesla wins licence to supply electricity in Britain 3 weeks ago:
As long as humanly possible, they’re not getting a penny out of me.
I say “as long as humanly possible”, because they have the money to supply electricity at a loss for several years, to undercut and then buy out all the other energy suppliers… but I’m hopeful that won’t happen.
- Comment on Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question 3 weeks ago:
There’s a chance that someone once uploaded a picture of some boobs on it or something, so to “protect the children”, our beloved glorious leaders have blocked us from a bug chunk of the internet.
- Comment on Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question 3 weeks ago:
20/24 (83%), native Briton.
Some of those questions are stupid though, on terms of day to day knowledge on Britain.
If it was actually going to be useful, it would include things about:
- Letting someone go in front of you in the shop queue if they’ve only got a few things and you’ve got a basket full.
- Which football teams are “scum” according to supporters of other football teams
- Which one of PJ & Duncan is PJ and which one is Duncan? (Also known as Ant and Dec)
- How to apologise for things, even even they’re not your fault
- Why Piers Morgan is a twat
- What things you can have a “cheeky” one of i.e. pints, Greggses, sausage rolls, Nandoses, and girls (if you’re MP Lembit Opik).
- Comment on Relaunched digital ID will make it easier to access services, minister says 3 weeks ago:
Oh fuck off with your fucking IDs again and stop pretending they’re for anything except oppression and surveillance.

I read it, but I’m going to try and forget it as soon as possible.
- Comment on Meet the community group taking on 'absentee landlords' to put empty building in hands of artists 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like a great project. I wish there was something similar running in every city centre. Our city centre is full of empty building being hoarded by “property investment companies”.

Going to eat the haunty little bastards.
- Comment on Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. That old lady spending £3000 a month on gems for “Royal Candy Blaster Treasure Blitz Origins” is the gaming industry now. :(
- Comment on Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges 1 month ago:
I think the news media needs to stop pretending he’s still (or ever was?) a comedian.

There’s a sort of white rectangular bag behind him. To the right of it is a large penile object on a string.

Jeffrey Combs the actor.
- Comment on NHS waiting list at lowest level in three years 1 month ago:
That sounds awesome, but I think it’s a bit of a postcode lottery for this stuff - and some of it varies from GP to GP in the same area. Ours got rid of their useful online booking system and most of their website to revert back to “phone along with everyone else at any time between 08:00 and 08:01”.

- Comment on Home renovations 1 month ago:
Excellent answer.
I suspected the same, but metrically.
- Comment on Home renovations 1 month ago:
Technically true.

How thin would your floors and ceilings need to be for this to be real?
- Comment on Another Biscuit Island Banger 1 month ago:
Surprisingly, there is actually a wiki page on the matter:
Wikipedia.org - Taking the Piss
Roughly covers the following:
1- mocking someone
- making a joke at someone’s expense
2
- saying/doing something unbelievable
- doing something unfair
- taking more than your fair share
“Are you taking the piss?” is pretty similar to “You’ve got to be joking, mate!” or “are you fucking kidding me!?!”
- Comment on "It's going to be a very long goodbye" - Peter Molyneux's last game will be Masters of Albion, but that's not necessarily as simple as it sounds 1 month ago:
He genuinely did some quality stuff in the 1980s and 1990s. Populous (1989) and Powermonger (1990) were genre-defining, and in their era, were amongst the best games available on the Atari ST/Amiga.
He seemed to have a run of innovative classics - Theme Park and Dungeon Keeper were quality…
…and then at some point he just started promising things he couldn’t deliver. Black and White still turned out pretty good, despite the broken promises…
… then in the last handful of years, he’s worked hard to destroy his previous reputation by churning out overhyped shit.
