I too can vouch for one of these. Great for removing a lot of fur. Anything left over I have to use a lint roller.
- Comment on The RPS 100: 2024 Edition is here, with our picks for the best PC games ever made 1 week ago:
Seeing Stardew Valley behind QWOP, I suspect the list is in no particular order. Who could put such an outstanding game truly made with love that low in a list of top games of all time.
- Comment on City-building on a massive creature, The Wandering Village - Research & Economy update is live 1 week ago:
No way has it been in Early Access for 2 years?! I picked this game up when I first released but stopped playing it pretty quickly as it felt shallow compared to what was already out there. Maybe I need to give it a go with this update.
- Comment on Balatro nominated for THREE Golden Joystick Awards! 1 month ago:
I had to turn the music off as it got repetitive, but the rest of the audio stays on. The sound effects are so satisfying as everything is counted after playing a hand and you’ve got a bunch of jokers and cards triggering and then flames begin to build up.
- Comment on Star Citizen Developer Cloud Imperium Games Imposes 7-Day Work Week Ahead of Citizencon 1 month ago:
I’m guessing the top management didn’t learn that crunch is perceived negatively and doesn’t always yield quality results. I’m so glad I never backed this game all those years ago.
- Comment on StarCraft 2 production director pitched WarCraft 4 and a Call Of Duty RTS before leaving Blizzard, claims report 1 month ago:
Dawn of War 3 was absolutely ruined by them trying to make it an eSports. I find most RTS doesn’t give that same feel we got when WC3 first came out or later on when Company of Heroes was released. They were solid games that brought something new to the genre.
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Dawn of War II get free Anniversary Edition upgrades 1 month ago:
That’s nice. Maybe one day they’ll make a Dawn of War III.
- Comment on Day 45 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
The subscription fee imo is warranted given they release new content every 3 months, which includes voice acting, new dungeons, and new raid content. If it was a monthly sub with nothing released between expansions it wouldn’t be acceptable imo. Highly recommend not having a recurring sub
- Comment on Day 45 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
I have 3,400 hours in this game. What I enjoy is that I’m not expected to dedicate my life to it. I pay for 30 days at a time and play when new content is released every 3 months.
I know the last expansion Dawntrail is being slated on Steam reviews, but gameplay wise it was great. The music was solid as always, the Arcadion content was fun and the new zones looked great. Given how good the story has been in the past expansions I can understand how hard it must be to write a whole new story arc and make everyone happy. Some people want something entirely new, while others want to keep it all the same.
- Comment on To take a step back and see how far we've gone, Discuit published their weekly report - 245 weekly active users (detailed report in link) 2 months ago:
I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.
- Comment on Deadlock on Steam 2 months ago:
Honestly at this moment it’s the style they are going for. It’s difficult to describe, it’s kind of old timey tech noir. The base gameplay feels very similar to SMITE.
- Comment on Deadlock on Steam 2 months ago:
I’ve got access to the game on steam, the game feels very alpha stage at the moment. There’s already a good roster of characters to choose from and the style is interesting.
- Comment on A dictionary website for programmers 3 months ago:
It would be cool if it included other names for things. E.g. Kubernetes can also be known as K8s. Also not too mobile friendly when looking at more info. Besides that it is an interesting concept!
- Comment on They encouraged us to insulate our home. Now it’s unmortgageable 3 months ago:
When I first moved into my house I needed to improve the insulation as the existing stuff wasn’t sufficient. I reached out to a spray foam company who sent a salesman around. The guy was incredibly pushy and didn’t care about the minor details. When I was saying it was too much he called his manager up on the phone and was talking to her like she was a piece of shit that he’d trodden in. I reached a point and asked him to leave. About 15 minutes after he’d left the manager called me back directly sounding like she’d been crying, asking for feedback on the guy. Even after I said it was a terrible experience she continued to try and sell the service to me! It was probably some terrible double-act to get sales.
It left a bad taste, I got the feeling it was a terrible cowboy operation and they were claiming to be one of the major players in the UK. Seeing this and over time reading people’s experiences really makes me feel like I dodged a bullet by not getting foam spray insulation. It all sounded too good to be true.

I decided to give the gold place breaking video a watch and although these people are skilled, I just don’t quite get the “this is the current peak of human physical fitness/skill” that we see from other sports. Diving, Rowing, BMXing, even synchronised swimming were all really impressive. I wonder if Breaking will make a return?

They are without a doubt using whatever they can as an excuse to be their racist selves. Unfortunately the media and Facebook/WhatsApp echo chambers exacerbate the issue further, working these Neanderthals into a violent frenzy

It’s likely A/B Testing and when people receive the new layout, if Youtube sees a drop in engagement for their experiment they may just ditch it.
- Comment on Black and White 2: The Good, The Bad, and The Divine 4 months ago:
I was absolutely excited for Black and White when I was younger. In school we had to write an article for English class and I chose to write about Black and White’s upcoming release. I got a good mark from it and my English teacher was equally intrigued.
The game came out and I sunk a good amount of hours into it. Was it the best game? No of course not, but it gave me great memories. I don’t think I’ll ever go back and play it again as it won’t live up to the nostalgia, but it would be interesting if someone attempted to tackle this kind of genre again.

This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.

Trying to get things lined up for the Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV next week. When first announced I wasn’t very excited, but as it gets closer I’m looking forward to it more and more.
Also dispensing libertea in Helldivers 2

This season ending was fine, not too sure how driven I’d be to watch season 2. I feel like the show has had to compete with the likes of Solo Leveling, and Shangri-La Frontier, both of which have so much more depth to their characters, leaving this one feeling a bit shallow.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 7 months ago:
It’s nice to not be on the hype train for every major game release, because ultimately they will have the same shitfuckery shoed in, likely because of publishers. BG3 was a genuinely fun game and I’m glad Larian has done so well. You can really see a difference in games when it’s made from passion rather than the drive to make as much money as possible.
- Comment on Is there some sort of Indie Game Showcase? 8 months ago:
I tend to watch Clemmy Games to see what indie games are coming up. There are a lot of duds, but then you come across a diamond in the rough. Clemmy does a great job for me, releasing videos almost every day and I would recommend giving the channel a go!
- Comment on Respawn are "thinking about Titanfall a lot," even if it’s to serve Apex Legends 9 months ago:
I really wish Titanfall 2 had been more successful. I loved the mech gameplay and it really fulfilled that fantasy. Here’s hoping we eventually get a Titanfall 3

- Comment on I can stop any time 1 year ago:
Branston beans are superior, they have a thicker consistency and richer flavour. They don’t have that weird metallic tang too them either. I once was the kind of person who would only go for Heinz, but after trying Branston I am a convert to superior beans
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x06 "Lost In Translation" 1 year ago:
I think what justifies it is the second case that they encounter. The other guy provides them with scientific evidence that Uhura was experiencing something that wasn’t unique to just her.
It was definitely a leap of faith for Pike, but his decision was bolstered by someone (Kirk) that he knows can make the right decisions too.
