Look, I’m all about fairness…but why prevent people from colouring themselves blue and adding a white flappy hat?
- Comment on Call connection services: 'A 39-minute phone call cost me £119' 1 year ago:
I get this all the time at work.
“I HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR CALLING HMRC!! YOU SAID IT WAS FREE!”
“Yes, it’s free if you use 0300 200 3300. You searched on Google and blindly chose a redirect instead of the official government site. Not my fucking fault”
- Comment on AITA for telling the new girl at work what everyone says about her? 1 year ago:
I mean, if she uses Reddit, why the fuck would you post something like this that makes it glaringly obvious to her who posted it?
Fucking idiot, honestly.
- Comment on Lidl recalls Paw Patrol snacks after website on packaging displayed porn 1 year ago:
Yep it’s porn
And it’s strangely nostalgic, those little GIFs…takes me right back to the 56k days.

Well, I have free healthcare here in my country and no guns.
But we do have stupid cunts as politicians enacting stupid fucking laws (like the online safety act)
So eh, kind of.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
No, that was 2. That mechanic and plot point doesn’t exist in 3. 3 has very little, if any, fanservice.
And yes, AAA. It cost multiple millions, hundreds of staff working on it, hundreds of hours of VA including notable UK talent (Jenna Coleman, etc), a fully orchestral soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda recorded in multiple countries, and the game itself pushes the switch to breaking point. It absolutely counts.
There’s loads of other examples of decent single player experiences without bullshit, this one just came to mind first. And I hope Baldurs Gate’s success brings more like these

Meanwhile:
Jan 2022: “Heres xenoblade 3, an absolutely gigantic single player game, no microtransactions, pushes the console to it’s absolute limit, Monolithsoft at the top of their fucking game. Announced today, out in eight months.”
April 2022: “Lol sike, it’s now out in july”.
Baldurs gate is fucking sweet, but let’s not act like it’s a unique occurance in AAA gaming.
- Comment on Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? 1 year ago:
I can’t believe I completed the game, like fully completed to 105% or whatever it was as a kid. How?!
There is an awesome ROM patch that gives you the ability to swap Kongs on the fly by pressing left and right on the d-pad. It makes the game significantly better to play. It’s on romhacking.net
- Comment on The Nintendo PlayStation 1 year ago:
It was functional - Ben heck got it working iirc.
d4s even created a game that actually runs on it. playstation.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Boss_Gaiden
I’ve got the game on my MiSTer FPGA’s SNES core which has it supported as an additional chip. The game is surprisingly good!

- Comment on TooGoodToGo - Share your hauls and help prevent food waste 1 year ago:
I use this now and again. Last time I got all this from Greggs for £2.99:
- four large sausage rolls
- one large bacon and chicken salad baguette
- one large tuna mayonnaise, lettuce and red onion baguette
- one Cornish pasty
- a steak bake pasty
- loaf of bread
- two iced danish buns
It was insane. I put the pastrys and sausage rolls into the freezer (they all reheated perfectly in my air fryer), along with the bread, and we had the baguettes for lunch. Lasted ages.
Problem is getting in there and making the purchase before others do. The app sells out very very fast where I am
