- Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 1 week ago:
barring a hardware requirement that I don’t want to fulfill
Basic laptops and phones can play most games from 20 years ago, so hopefully if you’re patient enough you’ll eventually be able to play everything on whatever hardware you already have

What if I exclusively drink out of disposable plastic mugs? That’s still fine, right?

- Comment on 26 years late but I finally beat Half Life 2 weeks ago:
Young me did not work this out!
- Comment on 26 years late but I finally beat Half Life 2 weeks ago:
I never finished it; I kept running out of ammo against the final boss and just gave up. That was many, many years ago though, so I probably just missed its weak point and didn’t think to look up how to beat it.
- Comment on Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very addictive, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam 2 weeks ago:
Brilliant game, and remember: the only reason to play normal mode is to unlock extreme mode!
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 2 weeks ago:
It’s crazy how many full games you can play for free nowadays, I claim them way faster than I can play them!
- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 3 weeks ago:
If your friend is new to PC gaming then they might not be aware of how much they can get for free. I just wrote a post (stickied in !freegames@feddit.uk) summarising all the places you can regularly get freebies, could be a good way for them to try out a lot of different things.

Sounds great!
- Comment on Is the UK shut down during easter? 1 month ago:
Yeah basically the same, though depending on where you’re coming from the exchange rate might be a bit better!

That kind of attitude is what got us into this mess in the first place!
- Comment on Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry 1 month ago:
The article implies otherwise

Sounds like the lizardman constant
- Comment on Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry 1 month ago:
What do record labels actually do in this day and age? Artists don’t need their capital to produce physical media anymore, so is it just promotion? Are artists able to make promotion deals with the likes of Spotify so they can at least cut out one of the middlemen?

I’ve seen enough Summoning Salt videos to know that it’s never dead
- Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster 1 month ago:
I think that’s a deliberate decision, one of the benefits being that a new server doesn’t destroy itself by immediately trying to download the entire history of the fediverse!
- Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster 1 month ago:
it doesn’t pull in all the content unless someone subscribes
I think that’s how Lemmy works too
- Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster 1 month ago:
I think it’s an alternative way to access the same content, so probably exactly the same number of people you do and do not like

What are your combos of choice? I remember having a few good ones committed to memory at the time.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
I enjoyed it solo, though it did become impossibly hard at one point. I don’t know if you need to have friends to help or if I just needed to be better at the game!
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
This was going to be my recommendation. Probably not what OP wants, but definitely what they asked for!
- Comment on Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why 2 months ago:
The BBC have preempted your joke
It might be tempting to reach for a conspiracy theory or two, not least because it’s hard to hear the name “Skynet” without thinking of the malevolent, self-aware artificial intelligence (AI) system in The Terminator movie franchise.
But there’s no connection other than the name and, in any case, real life is always more prosaic.

I’m no expert in Chinese pronunciation, but if you and your colleagues all had rhyming names and could arrange them in a way that sounded like the Trumpton theme, wouldn’t you?

I doubt they’re shipping them across the Atlantic when there are breeders all over the world!

You’ve got to do it at the right time of day too, can’t remember when the wrong time is but if you release them then they all just fly away immediately!
