- Comment on Helldivers 2 install size reduction effort yields 131GB in cuts, and you can try the slim build right now 3 days ago:
Interesting, so it does load the data slower, it’s just that the world generation process runs in parallel and is even slower. Thus allowing loads of headroom for the data loading.
- Comment on YSK that the First-Past-The-Post voting system allows a political party to gain an absolute majority with a minority of the votes 4 days ago:
I remember David Cameron being interviewed by John Humphries on Today (the Radio 4 morning news show). Cameron basically lied about what was in the proposal to make it sound like it was some crackpot idea, Humphries did nothing to call him out on it.
Same went for most media coverage really.
- Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off. 4 days ago:
I wish there was a way to turn off that massive Klarna advert in Apple Pay.
Every time you pay there is a ‘Other cards and pay later options’ button. You use it to change to a different card, but when you do there’s an option to sign up for Klarna.
Apple should do better than be promoting shitty BNPL services.
- Comment on ‘Clair Obscur’ Leads The Game Awards 2025 Nominees With 12 Nods; ‘Silent Hill f’ Has Four Nominations 2 weeks ago:
I picked it up in a sale recently, it’s not normally my type of game but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m only a couple of hours in and loving it so far.
The story is sucking me in and I’m starting to appreciate the combat, things seem to be unlocking at about the pace I can understand. I’m a little worried it’ll be repetitive but it looks like there’s plenty of opportunity to be creative to keep it interesting.
Definitely my solo game for the longer nights ahead.

Glad to hear it
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 5 weeks ago:
Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.
Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.

I’m reportedly getting ready to move to CoMaps.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold 5 million copies worldwide; new content update to come to celebrate 1 month ago:
Just picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to diving into it and the nights draw in.
- Comment on Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards 2 months ago:
I don’t understand the point of this. The govt is only just now rolling out Gov.UK ‘One Login’ with identity verification across its services. That should be enough for what government needs, this is just overreach.
- Comment on it's just science, i guess 2 months ago:
the milk from the milk rounds
This wasn’t raw milk. It was still pasteurised. Just not homogenised.
Homogenisation mixes the fat in the milk more effectively so you don’t get separation in the milk which increases its shelf life. Your memories of the tasty milk were probably the creamy part at the top of unshaken pasteurised but not homogenised milk.
- Comment on Confirmed: Starmer knew about Mandelson's 'Yum Yum' Epstein messages when he defended him at PMQs 2 months ago:
Hmm. This headline should have been ‘Number 10 knew’ not ‘Starmer knew’. You could try to argue that they should be the same thing but obviously they’re not.
There are obviously communication problems in number ten that Starmer needs to sort out, but this headline is just agenda pushing.

I still have two decks to gold stake. Then I’ll quit. Honest.
