- Comment on A 2003 complaint about Half Life 2 3 hours ago:
I feel like gaming generations are distinct from hardware generations, and we mostly haven’t moved on much from whatever gaming gen Half Life is in.
- Comment on Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these? 6 hours ago:
If you’re in the back seat of a Tesla, you’d better look at those things real carefully.
In the event of power loss (in the event of a crash and subsequent fire perhaps), the only way out will be to disassemble that and pull the release cable.

Solar power?
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 8 hours ago:
Fry ups make my shit come out like a greased otter. Probably all the oil.
Healthy, fibre heavy foods make a right mess, like tar. Even the travel bidet struggles with that.

Leaked, or completely guessed at for clicks?
- Comment on hygiene 21 hours ago:
Maybe it’s just terrible plumbing, that pushes shit below where those showers are.
We had an issue at work where flushing in the men’s would cause the shit to pop up in the ladies toilet. There was a fair few arguments among the women over who was leaving floaters.

- Comment on Next BioShock Game Suffers From More Development Hell After Failing an Executive Review 2 days ago:
Yeah, if Ken’s not involved then it’s not Bioshock. It’s going to be the most generic shooter you’ve ever seen.

I find the old one worked, but it did feel like somehow the corpse of RealPlayer or QuickTime was still shambling around amongst us.

To tell the truth I backed over the last two with my car.
Fortunately they turned out to be Nazis.

Remember this moment when Nigel Farage sweeps to power in 2028 on a wave of youth votes, brings back the porn and sells the NHS.

That is Aldi levels of copying right there.

Refuses to listen. Implies opponents of it are nonces.
Yes they’ll all be shocked Pikachu when we’re swearing in PM Nigel Farage…

The turntable isn’t even on the top of the hifi separates unit. Pathetic!
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
I guess that Americans are used to seeing charges applied at the point of sale anyway, for sales tax and so on.
In the UK there price on the shelf is the price you pay, and if for some reason it isn’t, then you can guarantee several arguments a day.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
We had a card surcharge ban bought in a few years back. The shops aren’t allowed to charge extra, and unless you’re employing family members or not declaring the cash (and for a lot of small takeaways, it’s probably both of those) it probably works out more expensive to handle the cash.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
It’s mostly small places that don’t. I think they started during covid so they didn’t have to physically take anything from the grubby customers, and found they didn’t lose much (if any) business over it.
Cash still costs money to handle, either for the time or wages of taking it to the bank, or paying somebody to collect it every day.
I guess it helps that contactless payments are now ubiquitous. Practically everyone has a phone, and readers like SumUp and Square can be had for a few quid.
But then there are places that still only take cash, because it’s easier to hide that from the tax man.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
I couldn’t actually top up a prepay meter with a credit card.
Direct debits are preferred and they’ll often offer a discount for using that.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
Lower fees.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
Who the fuck takes cheques? Hell, some places don’t even take cash any more.
- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
If that’s what it takes to get rid of AI bullshit being forced onto us then so be it.
- Comment on Day 374 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
The weird thing is, it’s not actually that different to how it looked and played on PS3.

Meanwhile there’s people considering an upgrade for that 4080 Ti…

The KX units would probably disagree. Love the design of them, like a robotic overweight Mafioso.
