Strangely provocative. But it’ll take more than that to convince to take glue to bed.
- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, I’ve seen a lot less sarcastic “Good job” messages recently. Everyone fucks up at some point usually, plus the desync issues that cause “mistakes” that are absolutely not the player’s fault, and people seem to be recognising that.
- Comment on Unexpectedly wholesome exchange after a poor performance from me in Rematch 2 weeks ago:
I agree. Luckily I’m immune to online abuse in games. I’ve been on Xbox Live since the beginning, so my mother has obviously seen a lot of action.

At least they’ve fixed the flying players while constantly juggling.
- Comment on Standard Rematch game 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t fix it, it’s how you avoid letting get that close to you.
Can’t avoid bugs that randomly occur through normal gameplay unfortunately.
You’re very lucky not to have encountered any. There’s countless videos and reports of them online, and Sloclap have promised to address them.

If this hasn’t remotely been your experience, how do you know rainbow flicking fixes it?

Xbox version. Buggy as hell.
- Comment on Sable is free on Epic until tomorrow 2 weeks ago:
This fucking game. I wanted to love it so much, but so many game-killing bugs wrecked it for me.
The style, the atmosphere, the lore, the whole chilled out vibe, everything just appealed.
Then bug after bug, some which hard-locked save games just ruined it for me.
The developer appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and we got one or two patches immediately after launch that fixed some performance issues, but there was so much more to fix.
I’d love to play a polished version of this.

Not creepy. The only issue might be a clash of what you want, if it became a serious relationship, ie she may want to marry if she hasn’t before, and you may be averse to it having been divorced. Or she may want children, which you may not if you’ve already got adult kids etc.

Haha I’m just being dismissive, but greater minds than mine have made the same point.
I read something a while back about Ludwig Wittgenstein (in a YouTube comment of all places). He basically said “It turns out that Philosophy, my entire life’s work, is just a language game and, in the end just like a game, it can be fun and challenging, but ultimately meaningless.” Everyone disagreed then immediately went back to playing their own games, trying to prove him wrong by proving him right.

I used to be really interested in paradoxes, but I decided in my old age that they’re all just bloody annoying and pointless. 99% of paradoxes are just linguistics. All these philosophers who spent their lives debating them are infuriating bastards. “Oh you’ve come up with another unsolvable word puzzle have you? Well that’s language for you - an abstraction developed by the fallible. Congratulations mate, great use of everyone’s time.”
- Comment on Are dating apps a fraud since the beginning? 5 months ago:
Without wanting to sound patronising, dating apps absolutely do work, but it’s the users that make them work. If your profile photos are shit, or your chat is uninteresting or unfunny, you’re not going to succeed.
I’m a middle-aged male divorcee who’d been off and on Tinder for about 4 years, and I’d describe myself as average-looking, but I met a number of women on it. Without the dating apps, my in-person shyness would have prevented me from meeting anyone. They were an absolute godsend for me.

Still there mate

Ha probably not, but you never know. I bet they can determine my ideologies from the publications I’ve blocked on Apple News +, but who knows what they use to build up a profile.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
Yeah no doubt. If I were Dan though, I’d just change it before it got to that point. Pixelfed has only actually had this redesigned logo for a few months, and the app has only just been pushed out of beta, so it’s not like it’s an established recognisable brand to lose.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
IANAL but I reckon there’s enough similarity for Pokyend to consider chatting to their legal team. The Pixelfed logo is also actually black on the apps, similar to the point where they’re just about the same if you squint.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
Yeah as I say, I know why it’s there, and that you will see different ones. It just caught my eye because of the likely wildly different ideals of the two apps’ customers.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
Yeah I understand why it’s there, and that you will see different ones. Just posting here because its target demographics are likely comically different from those that are interested in Pixelfed.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
Oh wow, they’re almost identical. That may come back to bite Dan on the ass.

I haven’t done that many Nazi-related things recently, so if it is targeted, there’s something off with Apple’s algorithm.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 5 months ago:
iOS vs Android, and region I expect. Although I’m in the UK, and I can’t imagine it’s that popular here.

Cheers - this would work, but first requires whitelisting all the sources you’re happy to see news from, rather than simply not showing you news from sources you’ve blocked.

I mean, this is specifically mildly infuriating, and there are other positives to it.
- Comment on Blocking trash newspapers in Apple News+ just disabled the link but doesn't free up screen space. 8 months ago:
Fair enough. Although I would say that the magazine aspect (which I use it for primarily) couldn’t really adhere to that. The printed publications that you’d buy in a newsagent contain printed ads. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not different. Paper copy or digital, you’re getting ads with whichever one you pay for.

Isn’t it the publications themselves that contain the ads rather than the app itself?
