Hi there!

All things serve the beam.

Is that a person, or?

So old that it wasn’t a video, it was a Macromedia Flash Animation!
- Comment on Star Wars: Outlaws being a "AAAA Game" for 3 minutes 1 week ago:
Most of these design decisions look like they were made to make the game incredibly bland and safe for a 5 year old to play.
Are you an outlaw or are you a big cuddly bear?
Who is this made for?
- Comment on Doom on a Volumetric Display 1 week ago:
This is fucking sick, I love it.
I bet the spinning is noisy as hell haha, imagine if we made these really quiet so we could put them in a glass container and use them for neat stuff!
Maybe we could pull a partial vacuum in the container like we did with CRTs to help minimise air resistance noise inside, hmm…
- Comment on How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy? 1 week ago:
I wish there were another answer, I’ve wondered similar things myself for many years and therapy is always the solution everyone suggests.
The problem is, where I live therapy is only available to wealthy people. It’s not something I’ll ever have access to :-(
- Comment on I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta! 1 week ago:
Put in my application for the beta last night, and grabbed Walker Patreon today :-)
I really love the vibes of this project, as someone who loves walking and needs to walk more, and someone who struggles with ADHD, and I’ve always loved RuneScape, this project calls to me haha.
I feel like my character was getting more exercise than me back then, I remember I used to spend a lot of time at the guild coal mine (with those bats), so much time that this is seared into my memory…
Welcome to RuneScape. You swing your pick at the rock. - Comment on I Made a Smashable TV in Unreal that Simulates Every Pixel 1 week ago:
I remember this one! Great video, and very cool effect too.
I suppose he explains it in the video, I don’t recall, but with regards to the title, these are CRT televisions, they don’t have pixels.
They shoot an electron beam in horizontal sweeping lines across a mask behind the glass to achieve their image. Way more analogue than pixels.
But yeah, this video is a wonder to behold, do check it out :-)

I’ve noticed young people improperly using the word demure lately.
Has education really gotten so bad that learning a single, common 15-year-old-reading-level word means they have to keep using it over and over again?

Why would you need an account to play a single player, non cloud hosted game?
- Comment on Public rights of way applications backlog concerns campaigners 2 weeks ago:
In a nation so riddled with poverty, strife, and failing public services, where most of us are struggling just to keep a roof over our heads and get our serious illnesses treated, is it any surprise that things like this fall through the cracks?
It’s these sorts of issues that a first world nation should have the time and energy to focus on improving.
Unfortunately these days we’re a second world nation that still thinks it’s a first world nation. Heck, a not insignificant portion of us still think we’re as important as when we were the British Empire 🤦♀️
We’re delusional, we need to have a reality check on our new, smaller place in the world, and on how successful and wealthy our economy and our people actually are.
Once we come to terms with how weak and feeble we have become as a country, we can refocus our efforts based on reality - not on a fantasy of our past glory, and then hopefully backlogs like this can slowly begin to be dealt with ❤️
- Comment on Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Outer Wilds 2 weeks ago:
This was the game where I couldn’t figure out how to fly the space ship properly, and then I went to land on a strange abandoned space station and couldn’t figure out what to do there beyond reading some alien text that didn’t make much sense, right?
I’m sure I didn’t give it a fair lick, it’s just it took up 2 hours of my time and didn’t hook or particularly engage me up to that point, so I didn’t feel like going back in and slogging through the slow burn to get to the good stuff.
That’s on me I suppose, I should try it again!
Does it pick up and get a little more interesting and robust, at least? I’m not looking for hardcore shooter action, but like, I dunno, interesting people, engaging quests and cool places to go whilst doing them, and such. Something to keep me interested, you know?
Everyone’s different, of course, walking simulators with the occasional small bit of world building text to read just aren’t for me is all.
- Comment on Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts? 3 weeks ago:
They come as a package, I’ve never seen the trousers on sale on their own o.O
Any clothing shop will have them, Debenhams, Next, Matalan is a good shout actually try there, you’ll even find them places like George. Anywhere that sells night clothes really.
Just pick cotton rather than polyester for your pajamas, much more comfy :-)
- Comment on What doesn't kill ya 3 weeks ago:
I’m missing something here, because I keep seeing posts like this one that have no content. No images, no videos, not a text post, it’s just the title “What doesn’t kill ya” with no explanation.
I see all other posts elsewhere fine, it seems to just be posts in this one community, or from this one user maybe? I’m not sure.
I’m on Boost if that makes any difference…
- Comment on Shadows of Doubt - Release Date Announce Trailer (September 26th v1.0 and consoles) 4 weeks ago:
I am going to bang on so many apartment doors until the old lady that lives inside doddles over to answer and when I hear the key rattling in that lock I will flying kick that door off the hinges, blasting her unconscious, so thar I can take everything out of her wallet and her safe.
What was that? Is she a suspect? …Suspect in what? Hey did you see my cool apartment? I can afford a new sofa now!

Hell yeah, it’s was magnificent, and the expansions were better than the OC!
What news of the Waterdhavian creatures?!
- Comment on Police station set on fire in Sunderland as unrest rolls on 5 weeks ago:
These lot are fascist tossers, but let’s be fair, you can love your country, want to see it change for (what you perceive to be) the better, and fight the establishment because of that.
Take dissident Germans in the 1940s, or those setting fire to government offices, recruitment centres etc in Russia today. They love their home and their people, and want to change it for the better, and they believe this is their best chance of doing so.
I don’t think that’s what this fascist rioting lot are up to of course, they just want to smash stuff and be dumb racists.
But I think it’s important to remember that often we rush to frame extreme acts as inherently bad or unpatriotic, because we’re on the opposite side of things, or don’t have the full context of the situation.
Especially now, as so much propaganda is pushed down our throats these days - much of it stemming from our government - about how being an “extremist” is automatically evil, and not worth reading further into.
I’m an extremist for example, because amongst other things, I have the extreme opinion that we should nationalise all essential national infrastructure (water, gas, electricity, public transport, internet infrastructure, postal service, and such).
Am I evil because I’m an extremist, or is the government just trying to paint “extremists” as evil in order to suppress opposition to their way of doing things? Hmm.
Anyway thanks for listening! :-)

They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.

- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 1 month ago:
Software has already been doing a lot of stock market buying and selling for many years, even before AI came along, I imagine that sort of concept but on a more expansive scale, for a start!

- Comment on Hey guys I love Jodie Foster so much any tips on how someone like me can impress her? 1 month ago:
Just to be clear, you’re not a stalker? Because that’s really a very stalkery thing to ask.
We just locked up a guy for being stalkery with Holly Willoughby, so…

Do you mean half of the world’s children, or half of the children in your own, unspecified country?
Literacy in my country is over 80%, which is still too low in my opinion, but fast better than half, thankfully.
