- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 16 hours ago:
It’s not enforced though. A recorded voice will come over the tannoy and say “no smoking, something something” and everyone carries on with their day.
- Comment on Why does Helldivers 2 have such a bloated install size on PC? Old hard drives, says dev 2 days ago:
I’m not OP to be fair, but I think they said all games. I do believe I’ve conflated two chains, there’s another post about lack of physical space up there somewhere. MITX motherboard on an SFF build I can definitely see it. I’m not sure sacrificing graphics card is going to be better on a gaming PC.

Yeah, it’s too expensive.

What are we seeing as the positive?

What are you on about?

What do you suggest they do with the other 3TB of data?
- Comment on Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody" 4 days ago:
Yeah, £15 was pushing it, I don’t play as much as I’d like, big benefit was cloud gaming facilitating couch co-op, but at the minute it’s mostly my kids playing Minecraft, cheaper just to buy that.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 5 days ago:
I hate it, but it’s easy to justify from a dev perspective. If it’s switched off it doesn’t need to be tested.

I mean, yeah I’d entirely prefer that too. But on a halo series play through you hit a wall with halo 5.

Cloud play allows local couch co-op without a second console/version of the game.
- Comment on What even is money at this point 1 week ago:
Isn’t that just a justification for more expensive labour? (Like it’s totally justified but it’s still a labour cost)
- Comment on *A clean colon is like driving on a country road on a sunny day...* 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes they send entirely inadequate instructions you know aren’t going to work and then you have to go more than once. That’s a pain in the ass.

It’s the same way I’m lucky, nobody said it was good luck

He knows there’s something there but can’t see it because he can’t look up.

I mean, what the fuck am I going to do? I’m no engine surgeon.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 3 weeks ago:
Has his operation gotten any more reliable? I thought about getting some of the powders to put in resin but there were so many stories of people waiting months and then getting ghosted.
- Comment on Britain is ‘a terrible place’ to sell medicines, says Pharma corporate executive 3 weeks ago:
Pretty much the single biggest customer they have. I was getting podcast ads a few weeks back about some fund or other pharma companies had started to help British patients because the NHS wouldn’t buy their drugs. It sounded pretty desperate.
- Comment on Vape ban isn't working, says waste firm boss 4 weeks ago:
From a practical standpoint (whether or not kids think this way) those $3-4 ones are mostly shit, the $6-10 dollar ones are more what you’d want to be using, you’d want at least 2 or 3 in case they run out when you’re out and about and you’ll need a charger too. The refillable tanks on that site (at a glance) use premade coil cartridge things that need replaced (though you’ll probably get a week or more out of them) $12+ for a pack of those and the juice isn’t free either.
- Comment on Mercedes and BMW, eternal rivals on a race once again - this time to the bottom. 4 weeks ago:
I always think this about BMWs and then they somehow manage to grow on me. It’s like they’re released 2 years too early or something.
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor 4 weeks ago:
I’m not pro Nintendo by any stretch, however in this particular case the guy seems to have been intent on speedrunning stupid any %. Ignored a cease and desist and then decided he’d defend himself in court. I sympathise to a point, but if a notoriously litigious games company asks you to stop, probably stop.

Just a shit post unfortunately.

Jimbo has, in fact, suggested he might like the freshen up and Budgie’s just happy to be less Epstein adjacent.
- Comment on UK Cops 'Ashamed and Sick' of Enforcing Ban on Anti-Genocide Group Palestine Action 4 weeks ago:
Damaging an aircraft engine is a far cry from a campaign of kneecapping, bombing and murder.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 4 weeks ago:
My first thought on hearing frame is server. I’m likely way off the mark (to the point I don’t actually think it’s what they’re doing) but it could be the basis for a cloud gaming setup for steam. Would extend the deck life and allow them to optimise settings for proton locally.
