I just estimated how much space I needed and channelled the right spell :p
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 1 week ago:
I mean you only have to change a few words to figure out what they intended to write so I’d say not awake fully?
“In this setting the art of the mage was reading the battle and estimating how much space you need to channel each spell”
At least that is how I read it
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 1 week ago:
I really want to try Unbound, it is the first title that has looked interesting to me in the NFS series for a while it is just a shame that I have to use their launcher, if this wasn’t the case I might actually even be willing to break my rule of not giving EA any money (although I would buy it when it was on deep sale that they have fairly often). Shame.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 2 weeks ago:
I tried it for the first time this year, I put in around 10 hours to try and get into it and honestly I found it pretty dull. I didn’t think the combat felt particularly satisfying and the story as far as I got in it did nothing to interest me or draw me in.
I’m not saying it is a bad game because I certainly dont think that but for me personally just nothing clicked, it felt like a slog just to get through the 10 or so hours I put in and I dont have enough time to force myself to like games any more so I just moved on.
- Comment on Cycling will be more dangerous due to council clampdowns, say campaigners 3 weeks ago:
Couldn’t agree more, bikes belong on the road not on pedestrian pavements!
These delivery drivers are a fucking scourge as well. I have had a few run ins this year with them driving their mopeds through pedestrian areas.
I hope the council do clamp down on this bullshit behaviour but also invest in cycling infrastructure too. I’m lucky where I live has a pretty good network of cycle paths but it is still lacking.
- Comment on Day 104 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 weeks ago:
I still remember so many moments from this game and I haven’t played it since release, such a great game!
Following the blood trail in the pitch black in particular I always remember for some reason, probably the creepy baby cries that accompanied it.

Sadly I had to sell all my original hardware but I might have to break out the emulator, it has been a while!
- Comment on Sonic & Knuckles celebrates 30th Anniversary 4 weeks ago:
Spinball is the most underated, untalked about Sonic game IMO. I do a play through every other year or so, it really is great!
- Comment on Sonic & Knuckles celebrates 30th Anniversary 5 weeks ago:
I was always a huge knuckles fan so couldn’t wait for this release and actually being able to play as him, got KT just after release for Christmas!
The bonus of playing him in the older games with the special cart was even better, gliding across chemical zone like it was nothing! The practice for the special stages using sonic 1 was great too!
Best character in that universe hands down for me!
- Comment on 'How are we going to escape?': Indonesian working holiday-makers say they were 'scammed' 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely. My point was more that there are a lot worse things going on than what the article picks up on for sure and they should be stopped.
My experience left me wondering who I’d even tell about the issues I experienced and more to the point who would even care. Most of my experience with the “officials” involved in working holidays, visas, border control etc aren’t just unhelpful but a lot foster some kind of disdain for people who are on a working holiday, it must be even harder for people whose first language isnt English like me.
I worked with an Indonesian guy who was kept working with the promise of the owner of the place I worked at that he was filling out the paperwork needed and sorting it for him. The owner constantly carried on this deception for as long as he could to keep the guy working. After I’d left I found out about a month later the guy had gotten so sick of being lied to he decided he was going to leave and make his own way elsewhere. The owners response was to report the Indonesian guy to relevant “authorities” and he ultimately got deported because, surprise surprise, his paperwork hadn’t been completed properly.

That accommodation looks like fucking luxury compared to what I lived in for a year working in the Australian outback.
My experience is if you are on a working holiday visa then everyone is going to try and screw you over in some way, shape or form for their own benefit.

I’ll watch entire videos and then leave before the last 20 seconds of bs is over and it won’t mark it as played for me and you’re out here having videos marked as played for just the preview player xD

I really enjoyed “Heading Out” this year which I felt was something a bit different and fresher feeling. Might be worth checking out!

- Comment on LILYGO T-Deck Plus is a $70 handheld with GPS, LoRa, and a BlackBerry keyboard - Liliputing 3 months ago:
I too ran a unihertz titan for a few years, massive beast of a thing but I love a keyboard. Before that I had the blackberry keytwo which was my favourite phone of all time.
I backed the planet computers astroslide before they took everyone’s money and ran after delivering a fraction of the units promised and what was delivered was woefully out of date due to their ineptitude.
I still dream of a blackberry key three, but alas my dreams will never be fulfilled and I’m trapped on a shitty touch screen :'(

Was on .world. Main points were to minimise centralisation of communities on .world and to maximise the number of people who can see the community based on some defederation and dislike of .world.
Thanks Blaze for supplying a link :)

- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 months ago:
I’ve been playing New Vegas recently, I’m on the penultimate DLC now having just the final quest left in the main game. It has been a really enjoyable play through (the first time the game has stuck for me despite trying three times before) and I’m still enjoying it although I am looking forward to finishing it all and playing something new again after 90 hours.
Hope you enjoy!

True. It was more a reference to them wanting asylum seekers shipped off to Rwanda (I think it was), but in reality I don’t wish these people upon anyone.
- Comment on Far-right thugs throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work 3 months ago:
These cunts are the ones that should be put on some disgusting prison barge before being forced onto an aeroplane and sent off to Africa not the poor people that risk their lives to try and come here to seek asylum.
See how long they last last over there with their pathetic way of thinking. We lost our membership in the EU because of ignorant fucking idiots like this, now we have to put up with this kind of bullshit. This country is a fucking joke, these ignorant white English cunts need to fuck off.
Being English is such a fucking embarrassment.

We all hate different things, beauty of life, I hate people who use y’all and constsntly post shit about the US of A.
Oh wait you are the “this is what is kneecapping people moving to Lemmy” guy, guess we were just destined to dislike each other. Glad we got that cleared up.
Carry on mate.

No you called me patronising for referencing the fact it isn’t hot everywhere in a post about heat. That part was the sarcasm yet you see it as “patronising”.
Have a good day pal.

Let me introduce you to the concept of sarcasm. It may be hard to grasp for some people, but that’s OK love, I’m sure you have other strengths in your life. patronising head tap There there.

What heat? It is like 15 degrees in fucking July here -_-
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I spent 15 years working nights. 3 x 12 hour shifts (which was the best way to work IMO) and 4 x 10.
I’ve been working 5 x 8 hour days for 4 years or so now and I guess I have adjusted some what but I still fucking hate it. 5 day working week is the absolute worst. The only saving grace I have now is my current job doesn’t care when I start / finish as long as I complete my 8 hours so I end up going in at 4am so I can finish at 12 and actually have some day time to do other things.
Actual 9 to 5 is possibly the worst way to work imo
