Closure. People lie in real life too, not just on the internet.
- Comment on Rules 3 days ago:
Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.
Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.
On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.
- Comment on Can it get any more obvious 1 week ago:
And about how judging someone in that way isn’t fair or healthy for either of you.
The line was a juxtaposition of interests to easily characterize them. Its also very catchy as this meme would show.

Which makes them even less of an authority.
- Comment on What are the scariest games you've played? 1 week ago:
I think some have said the start of resident evil village is quite scary on vr, but I havnt played it. Probably less so if you’ve already played it. There are a bunch of junonscare games but they interest me less.
- Comment on What are the scariest games you've played? 1 week ago:
I found the batman vr game on psvr scariest. It wasnt that scary a premise, but because of the immersion, it was extra. You knew joker was in a cell and you had to Kean in to see. Although you knew he would get you, you had no choice. You had to physically force yourself to be attacked bybsteppibg forwards.
Similarly, the jumping off a cliff to commit suicide in suoerhot vr was quite confronting and scary. I think they edited it out.
- Comment on A European consumer watchdog wants you to be able to buy exactly as much in-game currency as you need, not fixed chunks 2 weeks ago:
It would likely lead to a lot of issues. The games companies would need licences like a bank. They would need to keep it secure and have funds availabke to offset a run. It would likely also mean that players would be able to refund unused cash.
If they change the value in game, it might lead to gains which are taxable or losses which are possible to offset.
- Comment on An Ubisoft investor wants to dethrone Ubisoft's founders so Ubisoft can lay more developers off 2 weeks ago:
Also, a grammar lesson for you too! When you dont put ‘an’ between quotation marks, your sentence doesn’t read well either. Next debate should be which quotation marks to use, but that varies by country.
However, your post enlightened me to my mispronunciation of Ubisoft, despite knowing they were French. I’m not sure that I’ll change though. I don’t thibknthe French would anglicise a word with widespread French pronunciation to appease non-French speakers, so I’m sure they are (ironically not) fine with it.
I also agree with you, that in English, most people pronounce it as Yubi, so “a” would have been appropriate and 'an" reads poorly.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 is coming in 2025 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if the movie flopping massively will be damaging for the brand. It seems the movie sparked some increases in gaming, though. If so, could we see companies take more care with their IP, as games sales are at risk.
Who am i kidding. A cash grab is a cash grab.
- Comment on Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried 5 weeks ago:
Its not that it can’t happen now. Its that it will happen all the time with digital tags.
- Comment on What is this plug on my wall for? 5 weeks ago:
Fuse box for one line. Fuses weren’t put in as standard when electricity was introduced. Many old houses just had live wires coming in with no breaker like today. For expensive electrical items added when there was no fuse, an electrician with install it with a dedicated fuse. If the electrical system has been updated where it enters the house, it may no longer be needed. However, if it is on a different circuit, it may be. Old fuse boxes were a bunch of replaceable physical fuses. Nowadays they are breaker switches for easy resetting and less waste.
Anyway, if whatever is connected to this gets a power surge, the fuse could trip and you would need to replace it. However it is not a plug, to add a different device or appliance, but just a safety pass through for the wire coming out the other end.
- Comment on From Baldur's Gate to Rogue Trader, the latest RPG-themed Humble Bundle is a horrifying assault on your time 1 month ago:
Humble games is humble bundle. They started doing good deals and some went to charity. They got a good name. They were bought out. A large corporation fired all the staff and kept the branding. No Kore commitments to charity. Just a regular shop, trading on the good name others made. That’s scammy and scummy.
- Comment on From Baldur's Gate to Rogue Trader, the latest RPG-themed Humble Bundle is a horrifying assault on your time 1 month ago:
Aren’t all the humble bundle staff fired and they just use the brand now? So really its a multi pack sale from a corpo. I won’t be purchasing from them again.
- Comment on UK economy continues recovery with 0.6% growth 1 month ago:
Wage rises in excess of cpi, generally. Gdp increases can be meaningless on an individual basis. For instance, Australia has had years of gdp rises, which are just due to increased population size. The average person has less money as population rising faster than gdp. It’s a per capita recession, but not a technical recession.
- Comment on The trouble with England – why rioting in the UK has not spread to Scotland and Wales 1 month ago:
To be fair, you were the one who was quick to jump to insults.
- Comment on The trouble with England – why rioting in the UK has not spread to Scotland and Wales 1 month ago:
I think thenpoibt was more that it had a sectarian tinge, rather than being a left/right divide like elsewhere. So, maybe for different reasons than England. However, disaffected youth is always going to be at the core. The rise in middle aged rioters is a worrying trend.

I’m a dentist. I hear it all the time. Its a good comparison for, often, the worst pain someone has experienced.
- Comment on aussie zone growth 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t think it would be busy enough to warrant a community. Interesting posts in meta would better grow the community than a new super niche community.
One of the problems with the fediverse is the lack of niche communities to replace subreddits for those that migrated. However, forcing the issue won’t create community but only dead communities.
Ilengsging posts In a mildly active community would be much better than lots of dead communities in the fediverse.
People will naturally find more communities and interests over time.

No, its OK, all European citizens van vote in local elections where they reside in the EU. Wait, no.
- Comment on Yesterday when I went to see Inside Out 2, one of the trailers was for a "Mufasa" movie, in the style of the last live action remake. What the heck. 2 months ago:
They have had lots of misfires though. Has anyone even heard of strange world? Even going back to the original lion king, they used to release lots of straight to video sequels. Cheap to make, high margin.
As you say, they have monopolised children’s entertainment very successfully. Even with inside out 2, they have taken the character and made them older so the original target audience of viewers can follow the arc personally.

- Comment on Farage urges Zelenskiy to seek Ukraine peace deal with Russia 2 months ago:
I this k expecting less politics around a snap election in discission forums is not going to happen. Yes, it can get tiring, but its also necessary that we discuss politics as part of normal life.
If we discussed it more honestly and openly with reference to history, wed all be better off whatever your political persuasion .
- Comment on The UK's second-biggest city is so broke they can no longer keep the lights on 3 months ago:
They should sue and use oracles history to show they do it on purpose and so were disingenuous in negotiations.
- Comment on Melbourne Black Star Pastry employees sacked after wearing the keffiyeh at work 3 months ago:
They wore clothes with a political statement. So, hr rightly asked them not to. They complied, but were still fired. I hope they get a lot of money and donate some to Palestine.
- Comment on Sea Of Thieves Was The Most Downloaded PlayStation 5 Game In May 3 months ago:
Its not unusual to rank media and have weekly or monthly takings. They tend to sell best st launch and its a good comparison. Gaming is a bigger industry than movies and movies has been going it for years.
However, an article focused on one game in one short period is junk, unless they have something extra tonsay beyond that.

Yes, but its odd that it shows for me and not others.
- Comment on AZ Maintenance 3 months ago:
Tried on thunder on iPad. Seems to be less prevalent, but still seeing some posts with 0 for all comments. Tried a log out and in.
Not a big deal, still have full access and it seems to be improving, so might just be data refreshing or being re fetched.
