Falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you have to give up for good, you can always start again. I believe in you. It should be more about overall accumulation rather than the neverending streak. You’re allowed to be fallible if you can course correct, no one will look down upon you less.

If you want to get technical yeah I guess it wouldn’t be independent because it wasn’t independently funded.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 4 days ago:
Personal i think the criteria for no longer being an indie dev is if the company is funded by a publisher or the company itself has been or has the capacity to be a publisher themselves
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 4 days ago:
I thought they had a publisher

You’ll be surprised how much both tobacco and cannabis smoke lingers on clothes and breath. As a non smoker I’d be able to tell you smoked earlier in the day. The difference is night and day between smelling the air around a smoker and a non smoker. Sorry to let you know.

They’d be able to tell because you’d stink too

Ah I see. I think it’d be a good reference point on what’s on the lower end still though even if you don’t use portmaster itself

Check out portmaster

Yeet has meaning though as to yeet is to throw
- Comment on 6🤷♀️7 2 weeks ago:
The fact it has no meaning is why they find it funny. That’s basically it. Makes us oldies think we’re missing some context, but there is no context.

I think because RWS were kind of similar. Before Postal they just made a few educational games like Sesame Street etc. They probably felt they were giving a studio that was in a similar position to them the same kind of chance they got.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
Not a lot of places do in person appointment booking now. They definitely don’t encourage it anyway and usually prefer it to be done via the NHS app if possible. Mines not on the app yet outside of applying for getting a recurring prescription sent to a pharmacy
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
Not been my case. I had an issue where I thought I may have had ligament or tendon damage that felt like it was healing from the last few days of having it. Which I feel like would’ve been an easy “just go to A&E” situation is that’s what they favoured. But they just told me what I should do at home to help it out and said if it persisted beyond X more days, THEN go to A&E if you can’t get a GP appointment. Which was sound advice because it turns out I felt much better the next day haha.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
No, not really. And even if there are, you’re not always guaranteed you can even get onboarded into a local GP surgery. So most people are stuck with whoever they are currently with.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
My previous GP surgery, only did this. Which was awful. My current one usually booked appointments within the same week now which is way better.
In my previous one I would have to battle it out in the early morning phone queue hopping I get seen too before the window closes or what was more common, no more time was free that day so I just wasted my time in a phone queue.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 2 weeks ago:
They said “humane appointment systems”.
I see that as being a system where you don’t have to try and ring up as fast as you can in hopes that there’s still time for you to be seen that day etc.
One of my previous GP surgeries sold only take appointments between 8 and 9am bit appointments for the day would be filled up usually within 15 minutes. And they would never book appointments for other days.
My current one is much better now and wish other GP surgeries did appointments the same way. Because I know the prior experience is the common one in this country sadly.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 3 weeks ago:
It might not be what they planned but they’re now using it as an opportunity for more publicity to get something out of it especially now there are some potential sales they won’t be getting anymore.

You’ll have to elaborate, sorry
- Comment on People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet 3 weeks ago:
It wasn’t the majority of us because I don’t even think we barely made it over the majority of people registered to vote, to actually vote.
Same goes for brexit, (number out of my arse but) I think about 30+% didn’t vote either way, yet they treat it like the majority of the country overall wanted it.
Plus the current government were only voted in to stop a worse one from continuing, and they seem to be going back on the principals both what they campaigned for as well as what the party has been historically known for.

I have eustachian tube issues that make most headphones very uncomfortable. Not only that I’ve always seen it weird to do that when I have a TV and a good sound system in my living room to use.
