Thoughts and prayers 🙏

I’d rather not tbh

Where they at tho?

We all know there’s barely enough people here. It’s not unusable, but there are so few people it’s always the same users posting and commenting, and it can be a bit dead occasionally.

I’m committed to the fediverse, but we could do with another big push from people dumping Reddit. Part of that would also rely on us (🫵) not being obnoxious towards the potential new users 👀

Some people can’t leave their phones alone for five seconds.

I was at the cinema the other day and this fucker sat on the front row and proceeded to keep going on their phone.

I had to resist the strong urge to pelt a minstrel at his head.

That’s like absolutely nothing to YouTube to be fair

Bit too expensive

Did video piracy ever really falter?

Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.

Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.

Some people have different priorities in life 🤷‍♂️

The fucking sound hateful tho.

Broken wrist ain’t that bad as long as bone still in.

If he wanna watch the bowl, then he wanna watch the bowl.

Don’t hate. His wrist, his life.

Personally, because I’ve spent long enough reading it and I want to just finish it if I’m like two thirds of the way through.

In reality, I spend a week thinking “I need to finish that” and then forget about it completely.

I know you tried to get ahead of it in the post, but I truly think that is your problem and you might be reading too much into it… You don’t get to skip that response just because you mentioned it.

I’m in the UK and honestly never noticed anything like this. Are you talking about people looking in your direction, or staring straight at you for over a minute?

Tbh, nobody cares what you’re doing and nobody wants to stare at you. Maybe there’s the occasional weirdo, but in my experience they’ve usually got some pretty obvious mental health issues.

denied that she acted improperly and rejected calls for a formal explanation of her decision.

wtf 😂

How can you pardon a child rapist and then just decline to give a proper reason…

Not directly related, but they switched me from Virgin Mobile to O2 after their merger. Fucking nightmare, despite them telling me that I don’t need to do anything.

Broke the direct debit, they set me up with an account that will not accept a password even after a reset, then I ran out of data as the new service has different usage notifications that threw me off.

I shortly after cancelled the sim, and dreaming of the day I can switch ISP.

Pretty good if actually mattered.

It’s a talking point that’s only upheld on political whim, which defeats the entire purpose of it.

I see no hope for this country. Things are just getting worse and worse every year, how long can this keep going?

It’s pretty bad now, but I seriously worry what things will be like in 20 or so years.

Hmm, we’ll have to agree to disagree there. They can 100% decrease the size of the processing bits and reduce weight.

I just think it’s very shortsighted to look at such an early version of the product and say “it won’t change much”. Especially when however many years ago you could have said that what we’ve got right now isn’t possible.

I mean, you can just take it off?

Also, regarding the adoption of the headset, I think it’s absolutely crazy to say that it probably won’t get less bulky. Tech is constantly getting smaller and that will be the number one priority with the headset.

If they can make the price and comfort level right, then I do think it becomes a mainstream product. Not saying people wear it 24/7, but that most households would have one, and it would become somewhat important for WFH and remote meetings.

I’m not a fanboy for Apple, but personally I just think it is the tech of the (relatively) near future.

I know what you mean about AW1, the sequel is different mechanically and much more refined.

You still make use of the flashlight, but now it’s a bit more developed and for the most part it feels like a modern horror game.

You get a lot of tense situations where people are running at you and you have to hold them off with the flashlight and weapons.

I can’t really put the differences in to words, but it is just much better imo.

I started with Alan Wake 2, then went back to Control.

Both really great, unique games, and Remedy are now up there with FromSoftware for my most anticipated games.

Control was absolutely great, but they really hit another level with AW2 imo.
