- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 2 days ago:
As someone’s who’s tasted an egg I can only assume that were part of some elaborate worldwide practical joke to get us to eat them, because I think they smell and taste disgusting.
- Comment on UK to create new 'British FBI' police service 1 week ago:
I thought that’s what the NCA was supposed to be.
- Comment on Is it mold? (More pics in body) 1 week ago:
I’ve done both but I keep coming back to distilling for this very reason. The hardest bit can be drinking it though. For a sugar wash you’re looking at like £6 per batch and you end up with around eight bottles of 40%. I don’t want to tell too many people what I do and even those that know often don’t want to drink it because they think they’ll go blind (which we know is obviously false).
- Comment on Final update on American Brown. 1 week ago:
How long though? It will peak at some point and then it’s all downhill after that. I usually just end up drinking pretty quickly as I run out of bottles and space to store everything (and beer in the fridge).
- Comment on Ubisoft has cancelled 6 games, including the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake | VGC 2 weeks ago:
Warrior Within totally fucked up the vibe though, and the combat was rubbish. It’s a puzzle game, the fighting was just a little break, but they tried to make it too big a part.
Two Thrones was 50% SoT and 50% WW, when it should have been 99% SoT and 1% WW. The voice in your head thing from TT was pretty good, until you have to fight it.
- Comment on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and more cancelled by Ubisoft, with layoffs potentially on the horizon 2 weeks ago:
Nobody’s gonna miss the SoT remake, it looked rubbish. All they had to do was tart up the graphics and flesh out the end game combat just a little and it would’ve been great. The new graphics looked so uninspired.
- Comment on Tips 2 weeks ago:
I get what they’re trying to say though. So many people think they need to keep up with other by having a constant supply of new clothes and a modern luxury car, etc. people will take credit to breaking point just to keep up with other people who are doing the same thing. I’ve done it myself and it took years to dig myself out. Now I take comfort in knowing that I’m not scared to open the mail because I have enough saved to handle any surprise bills. Some things Mee me awake at night but it’s not bills, and I don’t care that phone’s 5 years old and my car’s 15 years old.
- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 2 weeks ago:
No small ask. New factories, new supply chains, more staff, etc.
- Comment on It's easy 2 weeks ago:
It’s from some funny guy. I don’t know what his job is but his profile’s full of jokes.
- Comment on Jet Set Radio Future on PC? It's not a guarantee, but a new project may lead to such a, well, future 4 weeks ago:
I loved this game, I thought it was much better than the original.
- Comment on 200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach — here’s what we know so far 4 weeks ago:
In the unlikely event I had to create a porn site account even the NSA wouldn’t be able to link it back to me.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 4 weeks ago:
Office is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. Why have they jammed it into a brand which is already toxic?
- Comment on It was a blast 5 weeks ago:
I know this is a meme but how often are people buying RAM that they find this relatable? I upgraded my PC to 32gb over a year ago, I sn’t that plenty for now?
- Comment on No contest 5 weeks ago:
Why are people still arguing in the comments. Falcon would be toast before they’d got someone to the turrets.
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 1 month ago:
I wish I had a father.
- Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones 1 month ago:
They should make it a law to require adequate parental controls to exist on a phone in a way that parents can use them, then teach the parents how to use them. If your kid goes and starts viewing porn then it’s your own fault.
- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 1 month ago:
18 or 20.
- Comment on Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic? 1 month ago:
People who have sun sneezes tend to sneeze a bunch of times at once. Sun sneezes are genetic.
- Comment on Microsoft spent two years and $1B developing the Kin mobile phone line, which failed after just 48 days in 2010(May 14-June 30) due to poor sales. They blamed Verizon for not promoting it enough 2 months ago:
Apps were still kinda new at the time and social media was shit hot. iPhones were still premium products and most people didn’t have one.
I think a lot of people don’t realise that when the iPhone first came out it didn’t have apps. They eventually released an upgrade so that you could pin webpages to the homepage. I remember Apple arguing that web stuff was so good now you didn’t need apps.
From what I recall around that time the Kin never really generated that much interest. It wasn’t being aimed as a product to replace the iPhone and was targeted at the kind of people who nowadays would sit on their phone and scroll TikTok. There was a lot of change in those days; social media was still pretty new, useful internet in your phone was pretty new (it’d been around for years but it wasn’t so expensive to this point nobody had used it, iPhone made constant internet connections a thing) touch screens were still new and sexy, and more I forget about. The idea that your phone was this little mobile computer that you carried around wasn’t really there yet and they were still mostly for communicating.
- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 2 months ago:
I think this is pretty normal as you grow up. You get kind of bored of playing games that use the same gameplay mechanisms and you just look for a change. Even if the mechanisms in these indie games aren’t as good, just being different makes the game more interesting.
Nowadays I’d much rather play a short indie games that a big budget game.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
They don’t need to court developers, they need to court consumers. The games will be sold wherever people are buying.
- Comment on People in the UK Watching the The world using the internet 2 months ago:
Don’t know. No problems for me (UK).
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 2 months ago:
I’m not sure how I feel about this game. Seems like a less ambitious NMS.
- Comment on This is Jared Birchall. He is the right-hand man of Elon Musk. He also manages his wealth. Jared hates when people see his face. 2 months ago:
Exactly. If the right wingers started posting pictures of the families of left wingers we’d be calling them out for it.

I’m all for posting pictures of him but don’t post his family.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 2 months ago:
I have a Samsung smart TV and apart from suggesting I watch stuff on their own Samsung channel thing I don’t think it shows me any adverts. Maybe it’s because I’m not in the US?
- Comment on What a lucky woman 2 months ago:
ChatGPT says it’s just a guy who’s full of himself. I’m inclined to believe it’s correct on this.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 2 months ago:
It can never be too big, but it’s a problem if it’s a big city with nothing to do (Cyberpunk).
- Comment on Good Halloween Games 3 months ago:
I want to get Luigi’s Mansion as I remember really enjoying the first one. It’s just so expensive though.
