  The servers were struggling with all the people trying to buy it at release, including me. I had been hoping to get a few floors in before heading to work…

  Early access

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is thus true?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose some ILCs could be used for selfies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is thus true?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose in a crowded convention space where you’re trying to get full lengths of people you could get to that distance? Surely you’d still want a longer lens though otherwise everything’s going to be wildly distorted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is thus true?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are people booping with camera lenses?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨London stabbing rates vs X posts about London crime⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the drop in knife crime just happen to coincide with when BJ stopped being mayor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And there’s no safe walking down the street, cycling round town, or climbing outdoors, but we don’t need to let ourselves be paralysed by risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels nice, can be tasty, and in moderation (which is less than most people believe) not unreasonably harmful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aye, same. Should hope you’re getting more than 100 hours of sleep!

  Second highest is work. Boo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Got kids?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A drop of whiskey vs bacteria⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ass is indeed part of the gut

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A drop of whiskey vs bacteria⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bet that does your gut flora a world of good!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pika Pika⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Casually using an amazing photo for a meme 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police are feeding passport photo data into facial recognition databases⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who runs the database, and has access to it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British plugs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this another safety factor, i.e. you can’t easily rip appliances out by accident?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahead of her time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What they aren’t saying is that you need a mass spectrometer to be able to analyse the pinprick of blood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not impressed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there context to this picture?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets his life in order⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨months⁩ 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"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heads up, don't link to the Guardian on 5/6 December⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks.

  (If anyone else from the UK wants to read this link you’ll need a VPN)

  Is there any background to their strike?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, very much⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

  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.
