Have spare pilots too?
- Comment on Life hack 16 hours ago:
If the world was halfway organised, airports would have spare unbranded planes that airlines could use in a pinch when their aircraft need some emergency issues.
Fly it out and back and the main plane is back in use.
Make airlines pay proper compensation and they’d sort this themselves.
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 17 hours ago:
The whole concept of being the villain in someone else’s story is such a good one.
And then ask you get online is “butch lady bad”, or that Joel wouldn’t trust them. Conveniently forgetting he trusted Henry and Sam in the first game. If Henry wasn’t a good guy, Joel’s story would have been a lot shorter.
- Comment on Well stars are no longer visible anyways 17 hours ago:
One of the Red Dwarf books has a subplot where they send hundreds of stars supernova at once to spell out an advert for Coca Cola in the sky.

Hey, Simpson. Your weenus is showing!

Can’t help but think the show has flubbed some of them though. Like revealing why Abby hates Joel so early on.

On GamePass though, isn’t it? Only people actually buying would be on PS5 and the neversub gang.
- Comment on Drivers to be able to pay for parking using just ONE app under new Government plans 2 days ago:
Now make it so they have to tell you the charges in the app through a message sent direct to your phone, so you don’t have to get out and squint at a tiny sign.
e.g. You have entered Customer Car Park. 90 minutes of parking is free, then a fine of £60 will be issued.
Always give time (say 10 mins) to read the conditions and exit if you refuse them.
If ANPR systems are going to take all the fun out of life, we might as well get the benefits it could provide, rather than getting mystery envelopes with random fines because of piss-poor signage.
- Comment on Drivers to be able to pay for parking using just ONE app under new Government plans 2 days ago:
If they don’t sign up to it, make it so they can’t fine anyone or query the DVLA for vehicle details.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 days ago:
Any non-car related spending is a “war on motorists”.
Seemingly half the country think that millionaire man-of-the-people Nigel Farage will be the one to lead us to the sunlit uplands, and the only position he’s never flip-flopped on is bringing back smoking in pubs.
We are doomed.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 4 days ago:
If your game requires a server for single player content, I ain’t buying it.
I’m not paying full price and getting a rental.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 days ago:
The UK can barely get high speed rail going to Birmingham where they’ve already got tracks. The rest of HS2 got cancelled.
I don’t see how the same thing under the sea would ever get done.
Plus trains here are more expensive than planes for no reason whatsoever other than greed.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 days ago:
Because of course it’s Ryanair.
Oh, you want a seat? That’s an extra £50. Each. Both ways. Go fuck yourselves.
The EU needs to regulate the fuck out of that shitbag company.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 5 days ago:
Well, unless you fucked up the choices near the end. Really not fond of CDPR’s habit of that.

Yours for just 50,000 Fortnite Funbucks.

Ban paint
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 6 days ago:
Exactly, kitchen knives are used because they’re readily available.
Screwdrivers can be used to stab just as effectively.
However, I have a solution. Make the handles gay rainbow coloured. No self respecting gang member is going to carry a batty knife.

We could just have a functioning mental health system.
- Comment on As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’ 1 week ago:
I don’t know how Randy manages it.
There’s so much competition these days, yet somehow his crack team of developers manage to keep him at number one in the list of “Biggest Cunts in Gaming”.
It’s honestly impressive. I had no intention of buying this because I think his games are all wank, but fuck him anyway.
- Comment on Who needs it? 1 week ago:
I never even signed up for Twitter.
The modern internet makes me want to live in a cave and grow moss.
- Comment on Low River Levels in UK Raise Concerns of Drought 1 week ago:
Why invest in reservoirs and sewage systems, when you can just tell people not to use hosepipes, pump shit into the rivers and raise prices so you can pass it all on to shareholders?
Set stringent standards, enforce them with zero tolerance, failures will be renationalised without compensation.
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 1 week ago:
Don’t worry. The papers are already on it, in their bid to put Farage in power.
The Brexit faithful will never stop believing and inventing new reasons it failed. Wrong type of Brexit. What Brexit did they want? Vera Lynn singing on the cliffs of Dover. Dying old men smoking in pubs. No muzzies. A flashback to a childhood without all the grotty bits they’d forgotten.
- Comment on 7 for me 1 week ago:
Not even my smoke alarm singing the song of it’s people at 4am changed that.
Turns out they expire after a number of years and detect smoke all the time. Certainly an exciting start to the day.

A beans doughnut looks mint, ngl. I’d expect to see it in Gregg’s.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
I did all the fixer missions in Cyberpunk and honestly wish I hadn’t bothered.
It destroyed the pacing completely, and did nothing but waste my time. Like sure, they’re not automatically generated or anything, but they don’t add anything to the game experience.
The same goes for pretty much every open world game that isn’t designed around actual exploration. If your map is a sea of icons, your open world game isn’t that.

I knew a guy so ghetto he got his first name as his Xbox Live Gamertag.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
Do you also rate books by the number of pages?
This attitude here is what has fucked up gaming more than any greedy publisher ever did.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 1 week ago:
Because they’re trained on open source code and stack overflow answers.
Neither of which are commonly written in assembly.

Unfortunately all the wanna-be Pol Pots out there also consider themselves to be leftists.

But if I don’t have my boot on somebody else’s face, how am I supposed to accept the boot on my face?
Checkmate, communists!
