• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets his life in order⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t need someone telling me not to be a slob to get things done, but having someone around all the time makes me more aware of my better behaviours and function better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Is Postponed Again — to November 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see mention of remaining developers protesting, only IWGB and the reading of statements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ Is Postponed Again — to November 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where is it reported that the remaining staff are revolting?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Controversial opinion: I like comfort games these days.

  The first AC came out when I was in high school, and my one of my favourite bands for a good few years released their first album around then as well. I may not have as much time or love for either now, but I still get a nice buzz when I engage with a new release - especially when it does something a bit different (even if not revolutionary) compared to previous ones.

  I use loofahs for doing dishes. Anything it struggles with just needs another bathing in hot water with bicarb

  Strange! I just wouldn’t work when I first tried, but I VPN’d from USA and it worked. Maybe something else happened the first time and I’m misattributing the success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heads up, don't link to the Guardian on 5/6 December⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks.

  Is there any background to their strike?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, very much⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I just give them a dead stare until they stop talking then carry on with what I was saying, or alternatively “excuse me [optional] Dave, I wasn’t finished.”

  Other times it’s not worth the drama, or they might actually be reasonably more excited about what they have to say then listening, in which case fair enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Efficient Seed Extraction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I’ve heard reliable reports of stoma gonorrhoea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Efficient Seed Extraction⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever seen someone pick fruit out of an enteric fistula?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I last used it last winter, but looking at the play store it’s had an update since. Already looks like the startup is faster!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait when? The latest experience I had was interminable loading on start and constant save wipes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup! I wanted Slay the Spire, but the port is awful and this fills that void.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an ally⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that leaves to much room for sympathy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an ally⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When you’re not trying to move the affected bone, it’s easy to forget about a break. With a cold you’re reminded with every breath, every swallow, and every time it makes you sneeze or throw a coughing fit.

  Yep, not a fan!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an ally⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Transphobic Radically Inclusive Misogynist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes up a word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people enjoy power wherever they find it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is anti drugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like someone who hasn’t experienced that low

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches romance anime⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.

  It’s definitely possible.

  People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.

  You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to the gym for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also a handy excuse to give the arms a break!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pathetic.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing you’ve not heard of manual handling in the workplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is stuck in a rut⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But then you get kids. Definitely better than video games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing too surprising, but nice nonetheless. Cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of possibilities?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tells their life story⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From empathy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Implications⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps the time travellers came back as catering staff so they could polish it all off without having to engage in human interaction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Legal doesn’t mean safe; it just means the lawmakers are too corrupt, stupid, cowardly, or weak to tighten the limit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slightly less than two drinks = positive effect on programming ability. Who's joining?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You sound like a donorcycle rider. One who is casual about potentially traumatising and/or injuring others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mildly?

  I’m going to assume they’re not British…
