  Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have funding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea why I sub to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not pictured: a flat of eggs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL that in American liquorice is called licorice.

  Black liquorice is great, damn kids just want to eat a bowl of sugar nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 107 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Uplifting Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you find uplifting about Doom? Is it the bit where demons enslave the Earth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Official Art] Tourniquet Promo Art - Tomb Raider⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This one was much better than the sequels and I think it was because in the sequels I found Lara unbearable. In this one she was scrappy and there was lighthearted chitchat to just make everyone feel a bit human. In the sequels everything was just so melodramatic and it all took itself way too seriously, especially considering how silly the stories were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahoy me hearties⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl | Official Teaser | Netflix⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this Netflix for the worldwide release? It’s traditionally been in the BBC in the UK. I hate Netflix and cancelled it ages ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind ads, but I don’t expect to be tracked around the internet. It’s like every website you visit being able to view your browser history. That’s private information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space Nazis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m from the UK, we call it The Plough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space Nazis⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do Americans call this the Big Dipper? What even is a dipper?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good gift for a 2-year old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Something as simple as a novelty balloon will do the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft responds to rumors about Tencent’s potential buyout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Outlaws seems totally fixable. I think people would likely start picking it up if they sorted out the boring missions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has to be the manor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Haunted castle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to go to Nuuk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually I speak from experience. I grew up in the countryside and I’ve also lived in huge cities. Places to have a drink after work provide a hub for the community where you can relax and meet people in the area. I’m not talking about nightclubs, I’m talking about anything at all. They’re especially important in cold countries where you aren’t likely to just sit in your garden and talk to the neighbours over the fence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to go to Nuuk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These kinds of places can look idyllic until it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and the only place to get a drink closed half an hour and the streets are all empty. Then they start to feel pretty boring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"It's better to piss in the sink than to sink in the piss"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think I’d rather shit myself while farting than piss myself. If you shit yourself you can hide it and clean up. If you piss yourself everyone can see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Predator: Badlands Filming In New Zealand – Story Synopsis & Lead Character Spoilers! - Alien vs. Predator Galaxy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It says this was announced along with Prey 2. Wouldn’t that imply that this is a sequel to one of those shitty Predator films that nobody watched, not Prey?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game developers are still feeling the pull of last-generation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference between each generation of consoles is getting less and less. The latest jump doesn’t really give you anything the previous gen didn’t give you, it just has sharper graphics. The graphics aren’t even that much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Braid: Anniversary Edition has sold so poorly that "the future is uncertain" for Jonathan Blow's company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well everyone who’s heard of it probably owns it and the new edition just added better graphics and all that behind the scenes stuff nobody ever cares about. I thought many parts of the OG game looked better in SD than HD anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I must be doing something wrong with the maths. In 2021 it says they paid $76,000,000 in salaries to the Steam department, but only had 79 employees. Doesn’t that mean they earnt nearly $1,000,000 each?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I thought he sounded fine.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t tell if we’re quoting Trump or Biden nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s official: No Nintendo console has lasted as long as Switch without being replaced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a PC gamer but my wife got me a Switch for Christmas because she knew I wanted to play some Mario Kart. The 1st party stuff is pretty expensive and doesn’t go on offer much (as long as you only use digital stores like me). Other stuff can be pretty cheap though, I’ve got Limbo, Inside, Civilization VI, Torchlight II, and more that I can’t remember, for like £2 each on offer. There’s lots more that regularly comes up as less than £10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want to bring work into my home, plus I like meeting people. The only problem is the commute.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get into wild camping, it seems so overwhelming and a lot of information to try and gather?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just take the bare minimum and spend a night near your car or home, someone you can up and leave at 2am if you need to. Take a shit before you go.

  There’s not really any surprises for what you need, just take a tent, sleeping bag, warm enough clothes, a little toilet paper, water and food (just take loads of cereal bars and stuff you don’t need to cook for the first time). The only other thing to take is bin bags so you can clean up any mess you make. You should leave the place you camp as if you were never there. No food on the ground, nothing. Don’t feed the animals.

  If you’re feeling extravagant you can take some baby wipes and toothpaste/toothbrush for cleaning but don’t stress yourself on the first time. If you have a garden you can even camp in your garden for the first time just to get a feel for it.

  Your provider will just see encrypted traffic (mostly), so yes it will provide protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British tech firm Raspberry Pi lines up £500m float⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But what are the other options that aren’t from some random Chinese company? I tried a Beaglebone but it was so slow at a similar price point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just to manage expectations, the northern lights don’t look nearly as good in real life. They look like night clouds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trust exercise⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Explain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think an intern helps them tie their shoes too⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once met a guy who made at least 20 times what I make and didn’t know how to spell dolphin. He was a bit better than me at trading commodities though.
