Nah, that’s what every 40-somthing addict looks like in the UK. Fucked.

There’s a lovely homage to it in Astrobot.

They were ok, but could never get my arse really clean.

I’d see them very rarely, and wipe my hands on the back of my trousers if they were in use.

- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 3 days ago:
I was enjoying right up to the point where I stopped making progress and started getting frustrated at the random aspects of it. Even some of the self contained puzzles were taking a bit of trial and error.
The last puzzles are likely going to take a lot more hours than I’m willing to give it, not because they’re hard but because they require the stars to align before it’ll let you even try them. I stopped playing a while ago now, and I haven’t felt the urge to go back.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 3 days ago:
Yeah, it was. Trying to play, and it keeps stopping you with multiple full screens of text.
I don’t think they understand the concept of tutorials tbh.
- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 3 days ago:
I can tell you what the worst tutorial is.
It’s Monster Hunter World.

I liked the FFVII manual that gave you bios of all the characters, along with telling you that Cid is “old”.
He’s 32.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 5 days ago:
Me and my sister definitely had them in the early 80s. Kids are stupid, and the alternative is you strap them in a buggy if they can’t be trusted to walk.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 5 days ago:
They used to be quite common in the UK back in the 80s. Stops kids running into busy roads, and you can also use it to hold up an unsteady toddler.
Obviously you don’t use them on like eight year olds.
You don’t see them much any more.

The leash was fine.
The choke chain really had an effect though.
- Comment on Real reasons people do not have the number of children they want revealed in new report 6 days ago:
Falling birthrates are not a problem for humanity.
They’re a problem for capitalism which can’t rely on that for nebulous “growth” figures.
But if capitalists really want a solution, then a home for two adults and two children should be affordable on one average wage, not two. Build more and make them cheaper. If you can’t do that then you don’t care about the problem enough.
- Comment on All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer 1 week ago:
Not being funny, but what the fuck is a homeless person going to do with a raw cauliflower?
I often see carrier bags of dry pasta, tinned tomatoes and stuff just dumped at the roadside, because the person they’d given it to has no way of doing anything with it. Apparently they’re supposed to give only food they can prepare, but that clearly doesn’t always happen.
Food waste is part of the system. It’s fine. It’s what stops a shortage from becoming a famine.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 1 week ago:
I’d say it’ll backfire when people can’t play those odd Xbox games that for some reason never came to PC, but there’s so few people using Xboxes anyway, I doubt it’s going to matter. They’ve well and truly dropped the ball since the Xbox 360, and don’t really show any signs of being interested in picking it up again.
Everything just points to them making enough money from everything else to not really care. This is as token an effort as it’s possible to make in the handheld space.

Only it doesn’t run Xbox games. 🤡

Joke’s on you, I married a tonberry.
- Comment on Happy anniversary of the day absolutely nothing happened at nowhere square! 1 week ago:
The official report back to the Uk government was even worse than the sanitised stuff we got on TV. Even the Chinese government don’t know how many were killed.
- Comment on Bait or r*ta*d*ti*n. Call it. 1 week ago:
Yeah, he’s like LLMs in that regard. Sounds plausible until it’s a subject you don’t have much knowledge of, then suddenly turns into a dribbling twat when it’s one you do understand.
Then you realise he was an idiot all along.

I’m not the guy that guy replied to.
Just a random guy who thinks Gabe can put his foot down with these publishers. They already all tried going without Steam and they came crawling back.

All that. Right there in the night sky. Where kiddies can see it.
Fucking WOKEYS! They’ve turned SPACE gay!

If somebody put strychnine in the guacamole, I’d expect Walmart to remove it from the shelves and offer refunds to anyone that bought it.
If somebody distributed malware through Steam, I’d expect them to stop it also.
Not that there is currently malware in Borderlands 2, but their EULA says they could put it there if they wanted, and there’s nothing you could do about it.
As usual, money is the best message. So if they do put it into a game you’ve paid for, request a refund. If Valve starts losing money, they will change their rules.

You’re right that it’s not Valve they’re mad at, buuuuut…
They could regulate that no games they sell can have rootkits and delist the ones that do, as well as offer refunds if a rootkit is patched in in the future. They have lots of rules already, and I don’t think that would be a bad one.

Yes, and for generally just disobeying men.

Congo was part of the wave of creature feature movies that followed Jurassic Park.
Anaconda, Lake Placid, etc. All chasing a high they had no chance of ever reaching. They’re all a bit shit, but I can’t help have some nostalgia for them.

No, I think you’re right.
Being lesser known doesn’t make it worse.

If it’s on a billionaire’s computer, and they can read it, then yes. They’ll sell it, no questions asked.
E2E encrypted data is probably OK, as long as that person didn’t save it somewhere and upload it to a cloud backup.
