Imagine the number of absolutely amazing games you've missed out on playing if your attitude is 'I only play for graphics', I can't wrap my head around it. Like only watching a movie if it has CGI and loads of big bangs, missing out on SO much good stuff.

This studio really does try it's best to alienate it's users and fans

I see Man City fans have pivoted from the pre-guilty judgement 'We didn't break the rules, you are all just jealous' to 'well the rules are massively flawed and unfair anyway'

When I worked at Pru this was part of conversations quiite frequently - triple lock is totally unsustainable and that (as well as state pension, eventually) will have to go as it's one of the few ways to 'fix' welfare budget, but good luck to whoever a) proposes this and b) gets it through!

Why do people take low quality, crap pictures with their phone cams and share on socials instead of using F12/print screen on THE PC YOU ARE USING and then upload the picture? Then they get upset when you say 'that's a crap pic, I can't see what you're talking about?' So weird

I love how spell check will insist that hust is a word and not change it to just, but typing well, it keeps changing to we'll - how is autocorrect getting progressively worse?!? Assuming it'll be connected to AI, like everything that goes wrong....

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

I love it when peoples personal feelings/judgements mean that they immediately assume everyone else does/thinks like them ''me think Google bad, whole world must think Google bad'' - the reality, of course, is that nearly 70% of installed browsers are still Chrome.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Ah, it's this point of the 'we had a chance and we dropped the ball' cycle - no one, literally NO ONE is asking for England to play 'like Spain', asking England to not sit as deep as possible and throw on defenders until we loose is NOT ''play like Spain''

Football news: Anthony Gordon urges England to stop trying to replicate Spain
Anthony Gordon says that controlling games is not in the "English DNA" but the Three Lions could still win major tournaments if they stop "trying to replicate Spain".

This prick better be the first out the fucking door when GWR is nationalised - absolute waste of space that shows his face when he's forced to because there's been a 24h+ issues or if there's champagne and lobster on offer - been useless since he returned to GWR, as he was before he left!

When people ask why I refuse to upgrade to Windows 11 my simple answer is this 'try to make a desktop shortcut', and no - dragging the program file from it's folder to your desktop so it no longer lives in the folder and the program freaks out cause it can't find it isn't an acceptable answer'

If my games relied heavily on QTE's and was basically an on rails hand holding experience, you occasionally have gameplay in, I probably wouldn't chuck stones out of my greenhouse....

Terrifying to see the MAGA brain virus spreading more and more over here 'the officials are lying because they're not saying what I want to believe, I believe the made up stories generated by AI bots because they feed my inbuilt delusions and prejudices' 'nobody knows' - no, just idiots like you.

This, this this and then this. I always grew up wondering how fascism spread leading up to WW2 and it's genuinely surreal to look around and go 'oh, this is how it happened, just slower and without social media', deeply concerning.

People acting like 'fake quotes' are a new thing in football - still waiting for someone that quotes the 'if I have to make a tackle, I have made a mistake' line to show me where that quote is from. That's before you start looking at the fake Maradona quotes over the year....

Sagal Abdi-Wali has contributed more to this country than Zia Yusuf or his scummy little supporters/enablers will ever do - you can say that for nearly everyone in Reform, they are just the absolute worse - if it wasn't for Restore you'd say they're bottom of the barrel

It truly is astonishing that this is the media cycle now - fake outrage on social media sites causes news stories, which then lead to more fake outrage and then more social media stories from more 'respected' outlets. People wonder why gaming 'journalism' isn't taken seriously......

Eric Bischoff is such a moron, it's always sad to see people from a previous era desperately trying to stay relevant by knocking what they don't like/understand, nearly all of his comments post All In are just wrong or through the most horrendous WWE tinted glasses.

It's always the people that love banging on about 'support our troops' that are the first to mock them for not being perfect super soldiers with no feelings. It's like over here with the 'protect our women & kids' lot, they all turn out to be wife beaters and nonces.
