Or do.

At the very least you’re doubling your chances of somebody liking you.
- Comment on Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' 1 day ago:
Even if it was left for days, the act of scanning through a video looking for the point the bike arrives and is then no longer there is fucking trivial.
- Comment on Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' 1 day ago:
I wonder if they’d adopt the same two hour window if I smashed into a ticket machine and stole all the cash.
- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 2 days ago:
Those billion AI GPUs won’t pay for themselves you know.
- Comment on Britons believe the UK is seen by the rest of the world as ‘weak’ and ‘soft touch’ 2 days ago:
We don’t think it’s because we took over a quarter of the globe for a hundred years and taught everyone English then?
It must be because they’re all gagging for chicken nuggets and chips at a Best Western.
- Comment on 'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarkets 2 days ago:
No fizzy pop meal deals, no porn, digital ID and you can’t even burn a migrant hotel any more.
We used to be a proper country.

My grandparents were swingers… So somebody was a squirter, might not have been my nan.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 4 days ago:
They’ve been pretty underwhelming for a while now.
You used to get crazy deals on games only a few months old. Now it’s just the same 50% off a five year old game before being ramped back up to full price between sales.
There’s a few bargains of stuff you may have missed, but likely they’ve been an Epic freebie, or on PSPlus or in a Humble Bundle by now.
- Comment on Confirmed - Electronic Arts (EA) sold off to investors including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund 4 days ago:
Independent Hazelight please. I don’t want to give money to Trumpists or Oil-men.
I can’t think of anyone else they own (and haven’t shut down) that I still give a fuck about. Maybe Criterion still have potential.
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 4 days ago:
I’m with the septics on that one. Having licence instead of license but licensed instead of licenced is asinine.
- Comment on Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities 4 days ago:
Maybe because we’re dumping food everywhere?
It’s not exactly A Plague Tale: Requiem, is it? Even in Birmingham.
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 4 days ago:
The Internet Wanking License hasn’t been a clear winner either. He voted against that when the Tories were in power, then flipped when they realised they’d be the ones doing all the spying. Wait until Farage gets in and uses that to collect a list of rainbow flag people to bully once he’s done with the brown people.
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 4 days ago:
It should be noted that The Canary is still fuming that Corbyn didn’t get a third attempt to lose to the Tories.
I didn’t vote for Starmer. I voted for Labour. If he’s ineffective, replace him with somebody better equipped to deal with the threat of Reform.
I live in a shithole town with a migrant hotel, and let me tell you, this place will vote Reform next time. I’m sure sticking them there was cheaper than building proper facilities and hiring an appropriate number of people to process them and handle any needed deportations, but the cost of Reform will dwarf that.

This backlog won’t play itself!
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 5 days ago:
Did you play the first one in the reboot trilogy?
There’s a bit where she has to kill somebody in self defence and then breaks down over it, before spending the entire rest of the game plonking arrows through people’s skulls.
- Comment on Electronic Arts nears roughly $50 billion deal to go private, WSJ reports 6 days ago:
“but his son will ride a camel…” vibes.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 1 week ago:
I don’t think so. They’re quite cheap when it comes to knocking these out, and didn’t have a higher poly model to go off like they did with Tomb Raider or Soul Reaver.
I’m still salty over how many tweaks they could have made to improve that and didn’t bother.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 1 week ago:
They could at least look like they’re thinking about it before they smash that “obviously over 25” button.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 1 week ago:
Watch the Tories and Reform rise in popularity by saying how invasive it is, only to keep it and make it worse when they inevitably get in.
- Comment on Keir Starmer expected to announce plans for digital ID cards 1 week ago:
Got your wanking license, mate?
- Comment on Keir Starmer expected to announce plans for digital ID cards 1 week ago:
Well that’s bound to be popular.
He might as well wear a Reform badge at this point.
- Comment on Anon becomes Snake 1 week ago:
I can never work out if Kojima is autistic or if that’s just how Japanese is when badly translated.
It’s all his games as well.
Props to Norman and Troy because they carried the living shit out of DS2…

I think you’re really overestimating how much they’d pay a handful of random Korean guys for a few days of their time.
- Comment on Who got raptured today? 1 week ago:
Me.
…
I got better.

Hang on, I’ve got Assetto Corsa’s lawyers on the phone…

Also I’m pretty sure paracetamol has been around for about 150 years or more.
- Comment on UK recognises Palestine as an independent state 1 week ago:
We had no problem intervening in Serbia when they were doing the same thing though. Kosovo wasn’t it’s own country until years later.
I suspect the key difference is Serbia was a Russian ally (although even they fell out over this) and Israel is a US outpost.
- Comment on UK recognises Palestine as an independent state 1 week ago:
It is, but at the same time the lines on the map being slightly thicker doesn’t really do a lot for Gaza.
It’s still going to be bombed to dust and bulldozed into the sea.
