- Comment on What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) 10 months ago:
I don’t know if it counts but Red Dead Redemption introduced me to Liar Dice! Now I freakin’ love Liar Dice!
- Comment on I dont understand why I have to bring a bottle to the restaurant 10 months ago:
There are “fancy” (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.
- Comment on Former Stardew Valley developer's new life sim set in a city looks ambitious 10 months ago:
Stardew Valley was ambitious and look how that turned out!
- Comment on How I cannot be worry?? 10 months ago:
Replace “Then don’t worry” with “If you really think about it you should definitely be worried” and this is my life.
- Comment on House Flipper 2 - Out Now! 11 months ago:
I am curious why it is considered such a terrible practice? A lot of people don’t want to spend time and effort renovating an old property (nor do they have the knowledge or experience to do it well) so there is a market for old but already “fixed up” houses and there are people that make a living doing just that.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
I am curious to see if your opinion changes as you get through it, as the more I explore the more I find unexpectedly unique and interesting areas (caves, wells, ruins, manors, towers, etc) with unique and well designed enemies and bosses at every turn. It may help a lot that I have never played a souls game so it all feels very new to me!
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!
- Comment on Why does Lemmy (and reddit) show posts from previous page on next page? 1 year ago:
I don’t know if it is lazy as much as it is a design choice - remember at one point Lemmy actually auto updated (which meant posts were pushed down while you were browsing) and it was an intentional design.
- Comment on Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends? 1 year ago:
I am not so young but I have always seen my friends once a week for the better part of my adult life. Basically we always make an effort to organise things, sometimes weeks out, sometimes it’s completely impulsive (and they don’t always work out) - from a small breakfast catch up, or a big weekend away, and everything in between!
- Comment on What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol? 1 year ago:
LAN parties (showing my age).
It depends where you live, but my go-to was 24 hr cafes and other food places, but there are also other activities like late night fishing, long drives (or rides), night photography, etc
- Comment on Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately? 1 year ago:
I use Apple devices for work and although their hardware and software are reasonably well refined, I would never choose to use them for my personal devices as long as they continue their anti consumer walled garden approach.
- Comment on What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day? 1 year ago:
A tiny bit of sugar free cordial is my go to, mainly as it gives it a hint of flavour without diluting the bubbles too much!
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
I can’t imagine a reverse camera being a better alternative to looking out the front windscreen - sure it being a bit further forward then your seating position and wide angle might give it a bit extra visibility around close objects, but it definitely does not offset the advantage of a natural ~200 degree field of view - and that is before you move your eyes or swivel your head. This is much much more valuable particularly for faster moving objects (which are a greater problems).
That said I may be biased because my current vehicle has rear front and side cameras so I get the best of both worlds!
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
Safety - pure and simple. Visibility is much poorer in reverse an you are more likely to hit someone or something you can’t see - and there a lots less potential hazards like cars zooming past or an errant pedestrian (especially children) in an empty parking spot than there will be in the pathway / roadway when it comes time to leave.
- Comment on Part of a balanced diet 1 year ago:
I have done this, and the only thing I regretted is not eating more olives.

I didn’t sign up for the free trial! :(
