It’s an absolute joke that fans of SC say ‘when you get a clear server it runs perfect’, because it doesn’t. I’ve been in a brand new, freshly populating, rebooted server. The game runs like ass, the bugs are still everywhere. it’s just a badly made game and the design ethos is “we added more time wasting for realism!” (when they’re pretending not to just be ship salesmen)
Also, haven’t they STILL not decided on the final flight model for the game?
- Comment on Where can I find recipes without the author's personal anecdotes? 1 year ago:
I have a follow-up question.
Where do recipes come from? Surely everyone’s just stealing each other’s recipes and the most arrogant people are compiling it all into cookbooks and pretending they invented it?

Especially if they released a really successful game and then they released a really bad one that got them sued by their shareholders and they had to issue a public apology but internet sentiment is somehow still positive. Especially if that game had a $142 MILLION marketing budget.

Is gamepass dies the Xbox on pc store will too… Then they’ll come grovelling to steam and the deals come back 😅
- Comment on Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal approved by UK regulators 1 year ago:
Of course games should be everywhere, but exclusives sell consoles.
to answer your question about PC gamers, it’s not that we don’t **want ** games to be everywhere, its because they already have the system where all the games go, so why should they even think about it? We don’t care about your console wars, just get a PC and stop complaining.

I’m confused. You’re angry because you want games on the PlayStation? Nobody forced you to buy it. There are plenty of good games on there, and Sony do the same. I’m not crying that Bloodborne isn’t on PC. (not publicly)

Wow, what a brainy quote from 200 years ago, that sure showed me.
Maistre thought that politics should derive from religion and that in Europe this religious authority must ultimately lie with the Pope. Would you also like the pope to replace the government instead?

So you’re saying yes, Israel can forcefully remove Palestinians because they were there first?
Therefore Russia can forcefully remove Ukrainians because they were there first?

“at one time in the past”
As did the Russians on the land of Ukraine.
17th and 18th Centuries
Parts of what is now Ukraine were incorporated into the Russian Empire, especially after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century. However, other parts remained under Polish or Ottoman rule. The Russian Empire did exert considerable influence over these territories, often implementing Russification policies.
19th Century
Throughout the 19th century, the concept of a Ukrainian identity persisted, albeit under the umbrella of the Russian Empire for many regions. Some Ukrainians sought greater autonomy or even independence.
Early 20th Century and Soviet Period
After the Russian Revolution, Ukraine briefly declared independence but was soon incorporated into the Soviet Union as one of its constituent republics. While it was part of the USSR, Ukraine had its own Communist Party, constitution, and administrative structures, but Moscow held ultimate authority.
It wasn’t until 1991 that Ukraine was an independent country.
So is Russia allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 30 years ago?
Meanwhile, “Israel” hadn’t existed since around 63 BCE when it fell under Roman control. It wasn’t until after WW1 and especially 1947 that Jewish people of the Zionist movement decided to reclaim their religious roots and move back to the area en masse.
So is Israel allowed to take back the land they feel is theirs, and technically was, 2086 years ago?

The government they deserve. Ok. Enjoy disasters being great for business while the country crumbles around you.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
IF that happened, then we could leave.
But it hasn’t happened.
But our Tory government already is super right leaning and that’s all we have now.
If you voted remain you voted to be a part of the larger EU, if you voted leave you voted to only be governed by the tories.
If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you’re on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it’s a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.
The only place you feel like it’s a win is in the fantasy you just mentioned where nazi EU becomes a thing and we escaped just in time.
But reality is that the UK is a lot more right leaning than the EU as a whole, they’re ruining our country, and you voted to give them more power.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
But that’s our realistic alternative.
Either we work with the EU, who have sane, useful laws, with oversight of our own government, or we work with the corrupt tories only, who will keep taking and leave us with nothing.
Perhaps we should have made sure our country wasn’t being run into the ground before getting rid of any oversight.
But now it’s too late, and the results are clear no matter what your fantasy brexit was. The Tories were in charge when you voted to give them more power. And now they have more power. Shocked Pikachu.
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
Hold on now, the EU had given us our rules on annoying things like keeping our water clean, allowing citizens to move around, and human rights.
How are we meant to exploit people and the environment being told to live like that?
In fact, the UK has been strong armed into over 52,000 laws!
thomsonreuters.com/…/eu-laws-introduced-in-the-uk…
Look, they’re irritating things like reducing pollution, stopping our packaging from containing hazardous chemicals, keeping working hours fair, protecting temporary workers rights, banker regulation… how are the Tory government supposed to fuck everyone over with all these in place?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I just asked what you believe about that specific topic. You said they have no right to it.
But they say historically they were there long before Ukraine was ever a thing and it’s rightfully their land, so they’re taking it by force.
So do you believe that Israel has a right to the land in Palestine due to their historic ties?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Do you believe that Russia rightfully should be claiming the land by force?
- Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds 1 year ago:
I’d prefer the complete opposite of only Brussels telling us how to live and the Tories fucking off forever.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
But Russia say it’s theirs historically? So surely they should just be allowed to have it
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
What do you think about the Russian claim to the land in Ukraine
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
But surely that person has to appreciate that it’s only happening because his country is killing and stealing the land of another and has been for 75 years, and has essentially kettled them into a literal corner with giant walls and no escape where they have to rely on aid to survive, while killing huge amounts more of their people.

- Comment on Diablo® IV is coming to Steam 1 year ago:
Activision didn’t have 2fa, my account got hacked and stolen, and sold on the black market (I assume because I had a Damascus skin on cod mw) after months of talking to support with proof of purchase (I think 4 months) they still hadn’t helped, and I realised my steam account was still linked and I regained access.
I changed the password instantly, and I had my account back. Almost immediately I received an email saying “fuck you, you sold me an account and changed the password!” This is how I learned it’s fate, after an argument dissolving into a conversation with them, it turns out he just bought my account from the hacker.
I rely ALL this information to chat support (who take an hour to contact and are only open at 3am) who can see my purchase history and extensive chat logs about the issues I’ve had. They congratulate me on managing to recover my account and help me remove the hackers linked accounts.
And then they ban me within that same week.
They won’t unban me, it’s permanent, they won’t review it or look at the chat logs, they don’t care. They didn’t ban it when it got hacked or when it got sold for four months, but they did once I recovered it.

Alyx absolutely broke that mould for me. it started off good but built up to incredible as it progressed. I just wish more developers would do similarly.
- Comment on Paramedics not sent to a third of 999 ambulance calls in parts of England 1 year ago:
My baby stopped breathing, and then was struggling to breathe when she was 6 months old. Called 111 and asked what to do, they told me towait for an ambulance. After an hour and a half I called 111 for the third time to be told to just start driving to the hospital as they didn’t have anyone to send out. Went to the hospital, and they took 6 hours to see her. 😑 luckily all was ok by that point and she was fast asleep, but it really opened my eyes to what a shit show things were if something worse had happened.
