Couldn’t you ask them to give you gift cards for places you might visit?
- Comment on It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders) 4 days ago:
I think it’s mostly social convention - i.e. sometimes it’s not the ‘done thing’ to give someone money as it shows a lack of thoughtfulness perhaps. Gift cards are stopgap that make it look like you’ve put some effort into a gift.
- Comment on It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders) 4 days ago:
Yes that’s a good point, we need the early adopters to buy the games when they come out so companies can make their money. But still… in terms of pre-orders why not just wait until it’s been released and see what reviews are like first? 🤔

Of course Trump would support that vile party, which coincidentally has just banned LGBTQ+ events.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re taking the meaning too far. It’s not that someone in a bad position is not allowed to feel bad. Rather, you have to consider the context in each case. A friend could be having a hard time, and even if your situation is technically worse, that doesn’t invalidate theirs. Because if you are willing to invalidate your friend’s difficulties, by that same token you could say your own are invalidated by those in an even worse position than yours.
Essentially I’m saying that everyone’s life is different and their worries are valid. Yes, perhaps it can be a touch tone-deaf for one person in a privileged position to complain about something relatively trivial. But for someone to assert that their situation is infinitely more important, and that their friend shouldn’t be allowed to complain about their own experiences… it reeks of envy and narcissism.

Oh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?

Tuna fishing?
- Comment on A single tuna (once canned) will be eaten across the world at different times, potentially years apart 2 months ago:
Possibly, but it’s always been quite hard to tell. Whenever I get cans it’s always in tiny flakes so I guess that could be from multiple tunas if one can needed a top-up etc.

What can I say, it just feels more authentic that way

Just had the Dune Spice Opera album on in the background whilst at work. Damn, what an amazing soundtrack.

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 months ago:
Not sure if it counts as a patient game, but I’ve just started Persona 3 Reload (the original game came out in 2006 and I never played it, so maybe that’s acceptable?)
I love how stylish everything is - the music, UI and animations. So pretty. The story has quite a different vibe from the other persona games I’ve played too.

How exactly are they evolving if you kill them? Surely the ones you don’t kill evolve 🤔
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 5 months ago:
A friend let me borrow their PS4 version. Word of warning: Do not play it on PS4. I got through it, but damn if that cobbled together abandoned mess didn’t take away from the experience at times. I dread to think how bad it must’ve been at launch! It was the side content that was mostly broken; I recall the taxi missions just constantly glitching out. The music on the radio didn’t work properly and I was teleported to the other side of the map for no reason at one point.
Despite that the story, atmosphere, design of the city and characters are all great. I’m tempted to get it on PS5 or Steam (with the DLC) at some point to play through it again properly.

I’m playing through the Plucky Squire. It’s lovely to look at, and really wholesome! Feels a bit hand-holdy with some of the puzzles but nevertheless I’m enjoying my time with it.

Thanks for providing these studies; that’s all quite fascinating
