Already have, there are loads of mini PCS on the market that were comparable to the Mac mini. Just do a Google search.

Why does it need anti cheat? It’s a single player game.

Imagine being that out of touch.
I would love to hear his definition of transparency, because presumably it includes taking bribes.

The onion is having a hard time at the moment because the real papers come out with shit like this.
Really now they just have to focus on people being held responsible for their actions, that would be obviously satire.

Where the hell do you live that people regularly get more than that?
I would like your address and the times that you will not be in.

I’d happily pay £240 a year for my garden, I have probably spent more than that on plants since I bought the house 2 years ago.

In this context I think by holiday they mean abroad.

Every time I look at Macs I just can’t get over how ridiculous they are in terms of pricing. Combined with the inability to upgrade after the fact buying one would just do me to buying another a few years down the line, much better to just never get stuck in the ecosystem in the first place.

Without context that graph isn’t brilliant because it depends on the hardware of the PC. Pretty much every game I run will be better on the steam deck than my PC because my PC is terrible.
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 1 day ago:
Have you seen them try and talk to women it’s embarrassing. They usually last about 15 minutes and then they call somebody “female”, or something and they can’t work out what went wrong.
They would be amusingly crap spies. You could probably keep them in your midst and just talk coded language, and they probably wouldn’t pick up on it.

Yeah American TVs never seem to have them. I’m not sure why.
They were awful actually, they were far larger than they needed to be and they were very much like USB in that you needed to turn them over three times in order to insert them. It’s not even as if the picture quality was even any better than composite so I don’t know why we bothered.

Can I choose who they are because if so that could be quite convenient

I feel the same way about my Composite to SCART adaptor cable

If you get old enough everyone’s parents used to work for a big tech company. My mother who can barely operate her phone, used to work for a company that manufactured microchips.

I was going to disagree with you because I had a copy of Windows XP on the disc in my drawer, but then I remembered that I am 35 so thanks for that.
- Comment on Anon makes a modern game 2 days ago:
Except those two screenshots are clearly taken at two different times of day and so there’s absolutely no conclusion we can draw whatsoever from this.
It’s just standard 4chaners whining about stuff
- Comment on Anon reflects on a conundrum 2 days ago:
It’s probably just an old low resolution mirror. A non’s ugliness is in the fine grain detail that the camera can better pick up
- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 3 days ago:
Actually that’s something I don’t understand, they think the moon is a sphere about 100 miles across about 1000 miles above the flat Earth. Why couldn’t humans have flown that short distance?
- Comment on Anon isn't fooled by planes 3 days ago:
My faith in humanity is so low that I 100% believe there are planes are not real truthers that’s out there.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 4 days ago:
Yeah and they didn’t cost $80.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 4 days ago:
Here’s really important thing that the likes of randy don’t want to know. I would actually pay $80 for Baldur’s Gate 3, because that product is actually worth it. You can actually see where your money is going what it’s paying for.
But Borderlands, really? I was already not interested in this game, but why would anyone pay $80 for, at best, AA game?

Used too, sounds like you still are.
- Comment on Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game 6 days ago:
One of the most obvious signs of this is the fact that EA had a small team of about 10 people who made one of the best Star wars games that have been released in years. Of course it’s EA, so they screwed it up by shutting the servers down eventually but still, much better than Battlefront II
- Comment on Games have to cost $80! Meanwhile focus £35 oh sure have the DLC for £1 you have the other game 6 days ago:
They are pointing out that there’s loads of good games on Steam that don’t cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn’t justification for that price point.
The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it’s only an extra £1
Personally I’m not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.

No one does. Anyway if you’re in education then you are by definition not NEET.
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 1 week ago:
You know all of the promises that Boris Johnson the enormously deceitful individual gave. How he’d be able to negotiate all our own trade deals with India and Australia and suddenly those countries would randomly want to trade with us. Where did those trade deals go?
How are we better out of the EU than we are in it if our biggest trading partner remains the EU and therefore all of our policies and business practises have to be in line with EU requirements in order for them to accept our goods. What we seem to have voted for is to still be under EU rules but to have lost any ability to have an input on them.
You appear to be defining success according to your own definition so you can claim victory where none was achieved. You are defining success as it was done, yeah we left but we got zero benefit out of it.
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 1 week ago:
Yeah but we’re not exactly living in the utopian society that we were promised. If anything brexit has proven to be as disastrous as everyone who opposed it predicted.
The brexit voters are utterly unprepared to accept they made a mistake so they are casting around to find reasons to blame everyone but themselves. Clearly somebody did something wrong clearly there was some evil cabal intent on ruining it for them. L
- Comment on Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10 1 week ago:
That just seems to be how it goes in this country.
It starts with the Tories being out of power and Labour being in power, Labour do a bunch of things that piss people off and eventually this results in them losing power and the Tories gaining it, then you have about 10 or 15 years of the Tories utterly devastating everything because they’re a bunch of incompetent and corrupt politicians, everyone gets sick of that, votes them out and Labour back in. Labour remain in power until they’ve pissed off enough people again and everyone’s forgotten how bad the last conservative government was. Repeat.
The point is though if you actually look at the data, things do improve under Labour for all of the other bad things they do, they are better at politics than the conservatives.
- Comment on Owners of second homes in Wales are having to sell up. That’s no disaster: it’s a godsend 1 week ago:
But you’re prepared to allow people to have a second home when you realise that most people can’t even afford the first. That’s generous I don’t think I’d be that generous.
- Comment on Sony blocks Stellar Blade on more than 100 countries 1 week ago:
Does that mean it can’t run on the steam deck then?
