You can still replace the battery? They’re slacking.

Like sure, but it’s no VR masturbatorium.

Or storage if you’re a Mac owner.
- Comment on This seat reservation doesn't reserve any seats 1 day ago:
Is there though? I’ve never been unable to buy an Any Time ticket on the day because a train is full.
I’ve only been unable to board a train a handful of times, and that was because people were rammed in like the Black Hole of Calcutta before the train even arrived.
Having used plenty of EMR services before I’m counting down the days until they’re renationalised…

In fairness that chimp looks pretty bad-ass.
- Comment on Ed Miliband pledges ‘most ambitious reforms to UK energy system in generations’ 2 days ago:
Renewables are pretty good.Today wind is doing 44% of the country’s requirements.
You can also see on the graph for the month there that there was like 3 days without a lot of wind. It happens.
I guess what we’re all really after is a cheap and simple way of storing excess renewable energy when we’re making a lot of it, and then use it on days when we’re not. Pumped storage and batteries and things often get bandied around, but they’re not cheap and noboody really wants to invest in things that could be worthless when gas is cheap.
Gas is convenient and we still need it throughout the year anyway. You can turn it up easily to meet demand. I don’t think it’s a massive issue that we have a few days here and there where we need to crank it up.
- Comment on Water companies to be forced to double compensation for failures 2 days ago:
Of all the stupid things past governments did, privatising water is probably the worst of them. They’ve made little investment, not maintained anything, rivers are being pumped with sewage.
These parasites have leeched us dry for 35 years. Nationalise the lot. No compensation. Half of them are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy anyway.
- Comment on The bitter final showdown over British coal, as sun sets on ‘dirtiest fuel’ 2 days ago:
But they’re already shut and have been for decades. It’s not like they can get all those miners back, they’d be about 70 by now if they haven’t all died from horrible lung diseases.
What we needed was other industry to be set up in those towns. What we got was fuck all, and most of those places are still dead.

I’d like to see Black Myth Wukong win nothing just because of how salty they get over it.

They seem to hate Naughty Dog ever since they made them play as a lesbian instead of a generic white guy.
I do like to see those people triggered. I can see them being angry at rainbows for making the sky gay.

The only good thing about 6 was the Stranger Things mission.
- Comment on Official poster for "Superman" (2025) 3 days ago:
The only time Superman gets any drama is when people he cares about are in danger.
I’ve always preferred the Dr Manhatten approach to all powerful characters. Why would they care about us ants?
- Comment on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Announcement Trailer 4 days ago:
Because YouTube is a cesspool and anything featuring anyone other than white soldiers is “woke” and “DEI”
- Comment on Box Office: 'Kraven the Hunter' Bombs With Worst Start for Sony's Marvel Films 4 days ago:
The Things Sony Has The Rights To Cinematic Universe is such a weird thing to make.
It doesn’t even have Spider-Man in it. There’s seemingly no direction or underlying plot to work towards. It doesn’t even seem to make any money.
Wtf is it for?

- Comment on I bought an HP Laptop with 8gb of Ram...and was suppose to be 256gb SSD. I downloaded one game and its all the way down to 80. Is there any free software to download to help? 5 days ago:
Providing it’s not soldered to the motherboard like Apple does with no way to add more.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 6 days ago:
They’re still on Google maps, but the stores will have long since been turned into vapes shops and such.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 6 days ago:
It used to be like electrical components. Plugs, cable ends, solder, shit like that. I assume for a lot of hobbyists, but also repairers.
Then it became just another Currys type retailer and the death spiral soon followed.
Most stuff is generally not worth repairing these days, and anything super specific can be had from an Amazon warehouse the size of a small town.
- Comment on The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer | The Game Awards 2024 6 days ago:
They came with the GOTY edition which was pretty much the standard version being sold after a while.
HoS is my favourite of them even though it adds some truly tedious enemies to the map, but BaW is huge and adds like another 50% to the base game.

This trailer is why I can’t really get into the Netflix series version of Ciri. She just doesn’t have this.

- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign - We Played It! - IGN 6 days ago:
Sounds a bit like a reimagining of the Bloodborne chalice dungeons. Not sure there was anything like that in any of the other Fromsoft games.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 got a surprise reveal at The Game Awards, and this one is all about Ciri | PC Gamer 1 week ago:
Feels like W4 being about Ciri is the worst kept secret in gaming.
- Comment on The Talos Principle gets "radically overhauled reawakening" in new definitive edition 1 week ago:
I think I actually preferred the second. Less reliance on blowing you up and making you restart puzzles.

What if a worker didn’t dob them in, and they said they did in order to hide the real way they found them.
The NSA ain’t giving up their secrets that easily.
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 1 week ago:
You just know that their “AI driven platform” is a call to google for the brand names they’re “protecting” followed by takedown requests issued to the registered email followed by one to the registrar for every domain found.
We need a new internet because this one is fucked.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
And even if you don’t need billions in startup capital for land and buildings and machinery, you’ve still got cash flow concerns.
Say you want to make software, and you know you can make it in 3 years with 20 people. What are you going to use to pay the bills until you’ve finished making whatever it is? Where are you going to find people who will go without money for that time? What if there’s no market for it by the time you’ve done?
