- Comment on Here's what would happen if the UK abolished landlords overnight 10 hours ago:
A sudden ban would be madness. This would have to be phased in in some system of selling landlord permits which are phased out over time.
Or beat them at their own game by investing in massive amounts of good quality of social housing to flood the market.
One way or another, property prices will go down and people can’t stand the thought of negative equity.

There are going to be a lot of good machines that should hit eBay for cheap as companies dump their old stock. Grab home servers, media machines, secondary devices, emulation rigs, etc as the opportunity presents itself.

Roguelites are my jam. The only thing that pulled me away from STS was Balatro. Now Into The Breach on my phone has pulled me away from Balatro.
Way too many great games out there. Way too little time for them.

Started Retroid Fusion for GBA. So far so good.
Gran Turismo 4 continues. That holds up remarkably well with upscaling.
Still playing through Hollow Knight… Neglecting Silksong for this.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 6 days ago:
My music taste is pretty narrow and my music library is small (<800 songs). Buy my music on Band camp, then stream from Jellyfin. I wouldn’t ever pay for streaming. If I want to go through new music then I use a more targeted online radio (Jango is free and good).
It surprises me that people want to stream such a large amount. Do people just listen to random tunes? Happy to listen to anything?

Jellyfin + Symfonium is such a great experience
Jellyfin has pretty good Linux PC clients too. Even the main Jellyfin client works well for music.

- Comment on I Review PC Handhelds for a Living and I’m Worried Where Things Are Headed 1 week ago:
These handhelds will die down when they don’t sell well. The low end retro gaming handhelds are in an amazing place right now. The high end PC handhelds will be great to buy on the secondhand market in a few years as they come onto eBay. They’re great for patient gamers. PC gamers are obsessed with running AAA games bat top settings and they’re going to have a rude awakening after wasting their money on these devices. The patient gamers are going to capitalise on this.
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 1 week ago:
Jessica Jones season 1 was good in this regard. A problem and a villain that can’t easily be handled by just throwing punches.
The Watchmen is another good one that has less focus on just punching bad guys.
Completely agree that it is problematic that when your basic story is about super strong individuals, then the only story you will write is about problems that can be solved with violence. No one wants to watch a movie of the Hulk doing shifts to rotate a turbine to generate clean electricity.

The Mist
A Stephen King movie from 2007. It’s worth a watch. You can find YouTube videos about the ending, but it’s obviously going to spoil the movie if you’re planning to watch it.
- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 1 week ago:
This is the correct answer. Very beginner friendly. Very capable of growing on from this. Great way to onboard beginners.
I started with a 2 bay Intel CPU Synology. Used it for a couple of years.used it to learn about Docker. When I started using too many Docker apps and Synology couldn’t keep up, then I got a mini PC for compute and kept the Synology as just a plain NAS.
People recommending manual options for any “make your own” solution is throwing someone way into the deep end. OP can do that if that’s what he’s up for. But my first recommendation to anyone would be to pick up a secondhand Synology and bookmark:

- Comment on Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities 1 week ago:
Fucking long article can be summarised to a single paragraph of useful info. What a waste of time. This is why it’s increasingly difficult to read mainstream media editorials…
There are many possible reasons for this. Niall Gallagher, technical manager at the BPCA, says our growing appetite for fast food (bins are overflowing with fast food waste), the fact some councils collect rubbish less frequently, as well as road and building works disturbing the sewer network, all contribute.
But there is evidence that rising temperatures might also be at play.
Land is disappearing like crazy, and we’re putting up buildings so we reduce their [rats] habitat in the wild
rats can start breeding after nine weeks, meaning two rats can potentially create more than 1,000 offspring in a single year.

It’s taken me a long time to learn this.
Saying “OK” or “I hear you”, doesn’t mean you agree. You can hear someone’s words and leave it at that.
I rarely reply to anyone who has replied to my internet comment. I’ve had my say. They’ve had their say. If we disagree then there’s not much to gain from further posts.
Mostly I can agree with peoples premise. Sure your life is hard, I can agree with that. But I don’t have to agree with your next logical leap of “and it’s all because of the bloody immigrants”.

- Comment on One in three GPs in England do not work in NHS, says BMJ study 2 weeks ago:
The NHS doesnt want to employ them. There are no jobs for them. A lot of qualifying GPs are graduating with no job availability at the end of it. Of course they’ll have to look for non-NHS employment.

Have you tried it? Its worth giving it a shot. Many people bail out after a handful of hours. Many people are discovering that metroidvanias aren’t for them after jumping on the bandwagon for Silksong.
Platforming isn’t the only thing this game has. There’s solid platforming, exploring, solid combat (kinda souls-like), death leading to loss of currency and needing retrieval (like dark souls), excellent bosses, excellent art and sound, great story, high difficulty. So many things come together so well to make such a great game.
If you play it and still don’t see the appeal, then it’s provably not for you. People can sing praise for Counter Strike all day, and it might be well made for what it is…but that game just ain’t for me, even though it is so good at what it does.
