But what if the bytes run out? What then?
I buy physical anyway, and have never had an issue just going into a shop and picking up a game on day one.

Obligatory Frankie Boyle routine.

Jeeves! A beige banquet for one, my good man!

Looks like he’d try and sell you a used rug on a Turkish market.

Pfft, that’s just S2E6 of Red Dwarf. How tame.
- Comment on This was a great website and I still miss it 2 weeks ago:
Users probably just moved to Reddit /r/watchpeopledie instead, before they decided money was important and blocked all the questionable shit.
It still lives at watchpeopledie.tv, presumably scarring a new generation of 12 year olds.

Is that where some guy with a hook for a hand was buried?

When does the right think corrupt government is the problem?
They’re too busy blaming everything on whatever that corrupt government tells them to.
- Comment on God of War Laufey - Official Gameplay Reveal | PS5 Games 2 weeks ago:
Pretty much all story heavy games are like this now, and have been for some time.
Uncharted 4 was like 2 hours in before you even got to shoot anyone.
- Comment on God of War Laufey - Official Gameplay Reveal | PS5 Games 2 weeks ago:
Oh god, now I can look forward to an entire game of her name being pronounced wrong.
The really need to hire an Icelandic person for like an hour. Even though I don’t speak Icelandic, it’s agonising.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 weeks ago:
Got to love it just for a giant robot fight to The Touch, or Roddy Piper fighting Keith David. Or the Biz Markie singalong.
I think 2 was the pinnacle and a spiritual successor to Vice City, but 4 has its moments.
- Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft 2 weeks ago:
I think Duskwood was peak WoW for me. I spent years chasing that early high, and never really found it in that game or any others.
- Comment on Anon plays World of Warcraft 2 weeks ago:
Now that’s just not true.
Repeatable quests weren’t added until much later. You had to collect all sorts of organs with shitty drop rates from a variety of animals in different zones.
It was actually barely worth doing quests in the original game, because most of the XP was on the kills rather than quest hand-ins, and the rewards were mostly crap.
- Comment on The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily 3 weeks ago:
We need a tax system where the government figures out how much they need each year, and then just takes it proportional to net wealth above a certain amount.
You can bet Elon won’t be declaring himself a trillionaire under that system.
- Comment on Anyone get this? 3 weeks ago:
Mr Tumble has a basement full of dismembered prostitutes, and you’ll have a hard job convincing me otherwise.
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 4 weeks ago:
I found the best way to avoid Amazon was just to buy a lot less pointless stuff.
If you don’t buy that bluetooth shower speaker shaped like a cat, you don’t need to find a dodgy dropshipping company in a self storage unit that resells it.
- Comment on Rejecting Cookies 4 weeks ago:
I just use the I Don’t Care About Cookies addon.
I don’t know if it’s just agreeing or disagreeing, but I suspect they’re all selling your data regardless of what you pick.

I mean it is from 1951. I’ve seen a lot worse by people who meant it.
It’s 4 years before Emmett Till was murdered for example.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 4 weeks ago:
Sadly, the real reason is because we’ll buy any old slop if we see enough adverts for it, or enough streamers wanking off over it.
- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Probably not a lot of point while PC hardware costs this much.
I guess bringing it to PC several years late at full price isn’t doing much for them either.
It may work for Rockstar, but that’s about it.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 4 weeks ago:
That’s because they do.
- Comment on Mint 4 weeks ago:
Well, good news!
You’ll certainly have a lot of blackberries if you plant them.
The bushes down near the river by me are about 20 feet thick and 8 feet high. The only other thing growing near them are nettles. It’s a genuinely fearsome plant.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 4 weeks ago:
I think it’s always been like that, unless you upgrade a CPU for a 10% improvement.
I tended to do GPU as one upgrade, then the rest a few years later, treating the RAM, CPU and mobo as one unit.
But since prices of everything have been out of whack for ages now, I’m sticking with this 1060/i5-8400 box until something gives. If I want the latest whizzo graphics, I’ll play my PS5.
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 5 weeks ago:
We Brits got rid of a lot of them (and laughably called them “smart” motorways), so now we just sit there and watch people burn.
- Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies 5 weeks ago:
A £70 roguelike is a big fucking ask.
The only one I’ve played, completed and enjoyed was Hades. It doesn’t waste your time even on a failed run. A run is like 40 minutes of real time. That’s about where this shit needs to be to attract non-masochists. Even then, £70.

I watched The Smashing Machine because I heard they made the Rock actually act in it.
They didn’t, they just stuck a wig on him.

I just don’t like the name.

Sir, this is 2026.
You’re not even allowed to ride your own in the UK. At least not in public areas.

So make sure to just smash up all the abandoned ones littering the streets.

Well at least she died free of worms.
