Lots of good suggestions from everyone.
No one mentioned Mr Moskeeto though!

Too busy harassing people they think may be fare dodging to protect private companies bottom lines whilst said companies continue to raise prices and drastically decrease the quality and reliability of the service.
ACAB. Fuck the police and fuck the useless fucking train companies.

Left 2 bars have “population” underneath, middle 2 “murder victims” and right 2 “murder suspects”
- Comment on Hyperpop 3 weeks ago:
Used to love me some A G Cook, GFOTY, PC Music shit back in the early 2010’s. Never heard it called hyperpop however, always heard it called future pop. Either way hyper seems more fitting and I’ll definitely sub :D

That is one of the great mystery’s of the 90s.

I’ve been playing Noita, it is difficult but great fun so far. I don’t think I’ve really even scratched the surface of what there is either.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeh, we used the internet too at that age but like you say on a 56k dial up connection you’d literally be waiting for an image to load, line after line, so magazines were preferable. ADSL ushered in the age of more easily accessed videos for us, we are probably a similar age xD
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 4 weeks ago:
Well one thing is for sure, it impacted them in that they were less likely to get in trouble with the filth.
As a millennial my friends and I all had large collections of porn magazines and VHS tapes by the time we were 13 / 14 but they all had to be gained through theft or finding shit in the woods.
I haven’t seen a porn mag in the woods for like 20 years or more where as it used to be a regular occurrence in my youth!

It is weirder to me that people back shit like this up. I have zero desire to keep a backup of chat and random images people have sent me.
- Comment on AI generated images are probably amazing to someone on LSD 1 month ago:
Any image can mess with you if you are in the right mindset / point of your trip. AI isn’t going to make anything more “obliteration” worthy than the real world already does.
If anything it would be less appealing because it isn’t real, part of the appeal with something like a normal water bottle is the wonder of the natural world and the way your mind is interpreting it at that point in time.

90% of other cyclists I see on the road cycle with no lights and wearing dark colours with nothing reflective. It is dangerous enough as it is sharing the road with idiots in cars I can never understand why people make it even more dangerous for themselves willingly.

Hey, man, it is hard to manoeuvre accurately whilst checking insta or tiktok. It does make it a lot easier to put cyclists in danger though!
- Comment on Best Co-Op Games? 1 month ago:
I’ve only played Borderlands 2 in local split screen co-op.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 months ago:
Yeh that is fair enough, there is a DODI repack anyway so I’ll probably grab that. I have been considering a 360 recently what with the new exploit that has been made available so maybe I’ll grab a cheap 360 so I can relive some of my favourite games from there too.
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 months ago:
Oh no. EA play, fuck that shit.
I’ll have to find a repack or something -_-
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 months ago:
I have that feeling with some other games so can relate.
I really know nothing about it other than hearing people rave about it for the longest time. I might have to look up some info at least to see if I’d like it, literally all I know is “space RPG” xD
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 months ago:
Maybe I’ll keep an eye out for a good price then!
- Comment on Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time 2 months ago:
Maybe I should finally play this game…
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 2 months ago:
Apologies, reading that back it comes off more aggressive than I had intended.
I have no idea where “over here” is but it just winds me up that people litter at all in the first place, I hope that where ever you are can move forward to ban this disposable shit too.
- Comment on Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers 2 months ago:
These things that were banned earlier on this year?
Also if you’d bothered reading “Their research found that the number plastic bags littered on beaches reduced by 80% between 2015 and 2024, after a charge on carrier bags was introduced.” Which means that the ban should ultimately lead to a massive reduction in this kind of waste but a couple of months isn’t enough time to see the knock on from the ban.
Also in the article but plastic waste from fishing was a higher percentage than these vapes but obviously that doesn’t make for such a “clickable” title. Maybe they should tax fishing supplies more heavily to follow your “logic”
Maybe the problem that needs to be addressed here is the fact that people are filthy fucking cunts and littering in general should be addressed rather than taxing specific items as a knee jerk reaction.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
But the question wasn’t give a fair assessment of a sequel to a game you like.
I realise that it isn’t objectively a bad game or anything like that and a lot of people still play it until this day and I for sure appreciate them keeping the servers up for the old game so I can still go back to play it should I choose. But the question was what sequel to a game I loved ruined it for me and anyone who played both can see they are blatantly not the same game at all.
GW2 was a complete departure from how the first game worked to a more generic MMO style, I’m sure it is a great game in its own right but for me personally, when compared to the amazing first game, it just doesnt hold a candle.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
I didn’t, I remember falling asleep playing it not long after release which didn’t bode well, I wanted to like it but couldn’t. I “enjoyed” it for a while many years later as a co-op experience on a console (I forget which one) whilst getting stoned but it was more scratching an itch for that genre and playing with friends locally that really won it over in that instance rather than the game itself.
Likewise with 4, I didn’t even give it the time of day tbh, I still haven’t really seen much about it.
I’d have liked to play the remaster but I refuse to give those assholes any money and the main draw for me was multiplayer as a kid. I played the SP briefly on a pirate version but it was always about the MP for me.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 months ago:
Two of my favourite games of all time are Diablo 2 and Guild Wars.
Both of these games I was insanely hyped for the following games in the series and got them both on their respective releases days. Both were utterly disappointing crap when compared to their previous games and both probably contributed heavily to how I will now no longer get hyped for any game let alone buy one in their first year or two of release.

- Comment on Developer interview: my Q&A with a PC game 'repacker' 3 months ago:
I realise you are having health issues from reading your other posts and you should always prioritise that!
I really have so little interest in that short form twitter esque posting that I actively reject it so if I’m being completely honest I doubt I will go there.
Don’t push yourself to post the long form posts, get better and the best of luck with your upcoming appointments. I will look forward to your return to the long form post and hopefully with accompanying info of how well you are doing physically in the future :D
You are not an imposter, you are the fediverses premier gaming journalist and I’ll fight anyone that says different xD
Have a good day!
- Comment on Developer interview: my Q&A with a PC game 'repacker' 3 months ago:
I’ve always avoided games based “journalism” (and all journalism really) as in my experience it tends to be full of over opinionated bullshit however your posts are different.
I genuinely enjoy your posts, they are well written, clear and succinct. You offer your opinion on things you genuinely enjoy but usually as a side note rather than baking it into the news or subject you are writing about and it is generally clear you are just passionate about the things you are writing about.
Where can I join the PerfectDark fan club?
- Comment on Tough new driving rules could land Brits with a ban for ‘minor’ mistakes 3 months ago:
Absolutely. They don’t like being called out on it either. I am very vocal towards them and their blocking of cycle lanes and consequently I have had multiple drivers try and knock me off my bike. I had one guy when I was on foot try and run me over and then get out and try and fight me.
What also really pisses me off is that they are allowed to use bus lanes. Bus lanes, in my opinion, should be there the encourage use of PUBLIC transport by making it quicker for buses to get through traffic. They should not be benefiting these private businesses and encouraging even more entitled cunts driving taxis.
Honestly I could rant all day about taxi drivers, I fucking despise them.
- Comment on Tough new driving rules could land Brits with a ban for ‘minor’ mistakes 3 months ago:
As a cyclist this is even worse, the amount of people that pass dangerous close and then I catch up to them and they are sending a text in their lap is absurd.
The deliveroo type food delivery riders on scooters are even worse, they drive around my city permanently looking at their phones with one hand on it tapping the screen, passing me as close as they can it seems. I also see them driving on foot paths and down cycle lanes to cut between two roads so they don’t have to go around more and more often in the last year or two.
And worst of the worst, taxi drivers. They are arrogant, entitled cunts who think they own the road just because they drive as a job.
I fully support these idiots being banned as they are all menaces on the road and are endangering countless peoples well being with their irresponsible driving. I don’t care if “that’s their livelihood” they should consider that before driving like pricks.
