- Comment on Only 10% of boys aged 14-16 read daily for pleasure, National Literacy Trust finds 4 days ago:
Growing up I really wasn’t a fan of sitting and reading a book. To me it would just be words on a page, and often I would have to reread the same sentence multiple times and eventually feel drowsy. I recall being sat in the school library during some mandated reading time, and borderline falling asleep.
It wasn’t until I was much older that I decided to give books another go. They are no longer words on a page to me, I now picture scenes with the characters. I don’t know what changed it but I enjoy reading now, when I get the time. Maybe it was a change from it being almost a mandatory thing, to instead being my choice?
- Comment on Slay the Spire 2 arrives March 5 with 4-player co-op 5 days ago:
StS came out in early access and was a solid game with quite a lot of placeholders. I suspect StS2 will be a much more polished experience compared to that, and Megacrit has the track record of the first title to give confidence.

I don’t know if it’s still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the “experiences” were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!

Feels like they’ve added some physics to the game and this patch is a tech demo of it. Not complaining given it’s free!

I think No Mans Sky came out in 2016 and is still receiving free updates. I bought it dirt cheap and have got so many hours out of the free updates I’m beginning to feel a little level of guilt. I guess I’ll pick up Light No Fire when it releases.

Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It’s got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

“Dragging energy costs down around the globe” - such a shame the end consumer in a UK household doesn’t see that reduction of costs in their bills.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 5 weeks ago:
it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there
I agree with this point so much. I’m probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.
I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

I thought the overall story has an interesting concept, with some cheesy writing in some bits, and some comedy littered in so they aren’t taking themselves too seriously. Something that bothered me was the use of a current day wheelchair…

This is set 1000+ years in the future where they can solve people being blind but you’re telling me they can’t even have an professor-X style floating chair at a minimum?!
- Comment on Everything is awful because the people who went to business school figured out how to fuck us over as hard as possible. 2 months ago:
Back when I was in my early 20’s I once had an interview with the owner of an IT support business. He asked me what would I do if there was a sales person that was selling services that the company didn’t have the skillset for, and I said something along the lines of stop the guy from miss selling, identity if what he is trying to sell is a genuine area for growth, skill up staff and then offer the service.
He said I was wrong, the sales person was doing his job perfectly and it was up to the rest of the company to try and figure out how to fill that gap. I was offered the job but turned it down as I didn’t think that was ethical.

I use a pressure cooking when doing hard boiled eggs, I’ve found regardless of the egg age they are always easier to peel.

Not just the notes, but I feel like they put more effort into making sure the text doesn’t blend with what is on screen. Instances on Netflix of some shows where there will be white text with a white background, and the text has no drop shadow or black border.

If you haven’t tried it, it’s worth giving Monster Train 2 a go, it’s given me lots of playtime and they recently released an update.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x10 "New Life and New Civilizations" 5 months ago:
I liked the little suggestion by Pelia at the start of the episode that she spent time with a time travelling doctor. The rest of the episode the writing felt a bit too rushed.
I’m happy that Pike got the chance to live a happy life, but Batel’s story felt pretty weak and quickly thrown together.
This season has been -okay-, weakest season so far, but still better than Discovery.

It has a loose story to get to the center of the universe, but I can’t say I’ve ever made it there as I always end up doing other things
- Comment on No Man's Sky Voyagers free update released with modular Corvette ships you build yourself 5 months ago:
What would you say would enable you to get your money’s worth? I just had a feeling the game wouldn’t live up to the hype and felt pretty smug when it flopped. Then years later I grabbed it for cheap because I was bored and there had been a free update. I have put over 100 hours into it.
My only complaint is something feels off about the shooting, but the stuff they have been adding has been great and gives more things to do outside of just base building.
- Comment on Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 announced, delivers Ork screamy RTSness next year 6 months ago:
How strange that I saw a picture posted for Iron Harvest and now I find out that same studio is making DoW4. Iron Harvest had so much potential but the studio kind of abandoned it. It felt a bit clunky in ways, I’m hoping the experience they got from Iron Harvest will enable them to do well and we don’t end up with another DoW3.
