I did enjoy seeing the Tories lose their minds over this, even though they tried to dismiss one of their own donates doing the exact same thing.

- Comment on Sycamore Gap tree destroyed in 'moronic mission', court told 5 days ago:
I was a juror on a trial and the guy involved clearly with several chicken nuggets short of a happy meal, like these two there was mountains of evidence against him including body cam footage from a police officer and he still pleaded not guilty.
By the way his defence essentially amounted to, there were other people in the area who also had criminal records, so maybe they did it.
- Comment on Annon has not been seen again 1 week ago:
It’s like the opposite of my first girlfriend.
She told me we were dating. I hadn’t realised because I was 15 and it turns out girls and is interested in pokemon cards as I thought.

Yeah right.

I feel like this about Rust, I’m sure it’s absolutely great but I really just don’t care about it. If I ignore it long enough I’m hoping that either will move over to yet another language or AI will literally just write everything for me.

Because it wouldn’t help. That airport makes him look like an 18th century nun. I bet the barber used a bowl
- Comment on Anon gets dommed by his barber 1 week ago:
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone normal who refers to themselves as Chad. They aways come of as needy and trying to prove something.

Pretty sure it’s a profile mug shot as well.
- Comment on Anon gets dommed by his barber 1 week ago:
Well first of all anon is a pillock for paying $100 for a haircut. Any Barber actually charging that amount would have at least given him some hair gel or something.
I pay about 10% of that and it comes out looking fine. Then again, my haircut is designed to make my hair look less stupid, and it’s not intended to me me look like a football hooligan.
- Comment on Reeves suggests UK-EU trade more important than US deal ahead of Washington talks 1 week ago:
Demonstrably so for the simple reason that any deal with the US is not trustworthy. The administration cannot be relied upon to not do a rug pull. There is no point wasting time negotiating a deal that will last all of 5 weeks or until Trump has his next tantrum whichever comes first.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
If a leak causes damage to Nintendo’s marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn’t have let it leak in the first place. That’s negligence on their part.
That’s not how the law works.
But your honour, he wasn’t even wearing body armour, it was so easy to shoot him. His murder is entirely his fault it shouldn’t have been that easy for me to do it.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 1 week ago:
Well yeah, that will be their argument and legally it’s a good argument.
- Comment on Compilation of Protests Against the Supreme Court – What The Trans!? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah once I actually spent some time looking into it I kind of agree with the court. The decision isn’t great but really it was the only decision the court could come back with.
They were being asked to confirm what the term woman meant at the time the law was passed. Well it was passed by the conservatives so it’s pretty apparent what it meant. Just use the least inclusive interpretation possible and pretty sure that would have been the accurate one. This is not the court’s fault.

- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 2 weeks ago:
I’m so unimpressed with their release lineup as well. They’ve just done the same thing they always do, and made a minority improved Mario Cart and a lackluster Pokémon game. Or, and a tutorial, don’t forget that.
- Comment on Anon predicts the future 2 weeks ago:
The office building where I work kind of looks like one of those abandoned buildings in Chernobyl. Everyone went remote but they were reluctant to fully embrace it so they kept the office except no one ever went in and now everything’s just covered in dust.
I don’t know why they just don’t sell the building lease. Maybe they can’t find anyone to buy it.

You list a bunch of things you don’t like about the current AAA industry and then acknowledge that a lot od* people aren’t exclusively playing AAA games.
You’ve completely negated your own

It’s not about discussion. There isn’t two opinions here there is the fact they’re not doing that and me explaining why they’re not doing that.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
It’s not more powerful than the steam deck.
The steam deck is a portable computer the switch can only play switch games. Those games are hugely expensive, and the price is controlled by nintendo who infamously never decrease their game prices even after 10 years.

- Comment on Anon has regrets 2 weeks ago:
Got to love the double stupid. So is this guy seriously just going to live with it and assume there is no treatment rather than you know finding out if there is a treatment?
Also what’s a birth control pill going to do?
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
But I repeat myself.
Seriously I just explained why they don’t have a choice, and you’re like, nah they’re still going to do it, even though I literally explained why that can’t happen. Did you even read my comment?

Unfortunately it appears to be in some ancient arcane language whose mysteries appear to have been lost to time.

£1,585.73
Not bad for 16 years I guess.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
Technically it isn’t.
The company has a price for the product, importers import the product at that price (sometimes the importer will also be the manufacturer, but that doesn’t actually make a difference as far as the calculation is concerned), then some official shows up and demands an import tariff, the important pays the tariff.
The shelf price is calculated as the total cost to the importer + a profit margin + sales tax. The tariff just gets lumped into the cost for the importer. Sales tax doesn’t make a distinction about how the price is arrived at.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
It would be worth it if it cost $50. Of course it never would cost $50 it would be worth it if it cost the same as the first switch and if the games weren’t so expensive. There is a price point at which it is actually a good value product but it’s so far beyond that price point now, even without tariffs.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t they already announced the price?
