Dunno, but I miss rage comics.

Control starts strong, but I got about two thirds of the way through and still felt like I hadn’t progressed the story in any meaningful way, at which point the stylised visuals and combat just wasn’t enough to keep me engaged.

I dunno. Maybe I gave up right before things were due to start picking up, but for all the hours I’d sunk into it, I didn’t feel like much more than a glorified maintenance woman, with most quests consisting of “go there, flip a switch, come back”

Still, at this price, it’s easily worth a punt for anyone with interest.

Also it’s 100% “SCP: the game” 😅

Yeah, I don’t get it either.

There’s plenty of stories to explore in the world of Arda. Why do studios keep coming back to Gollum? Where are these people who are crying out for more and more Gollum?

Do the Silmarillion you cowards.

All good options.

Never tried the American cheese one, but I’ll have to give it a shot now!

Glamming up cheap ramen is a joy.

I like to add butter, a slug of soy sauce and chilli sauce, spring onion and sliced chillies.

It’s not gonna win me any awards, but it’s bloody tasty.

Ah really? I could put it on the hard drive, but the whole point of the SSD was for it to take the OS… Will have to think on that.

They generally don’t do more than browse the web so I’m not anticipating any major issues. I used to game on it, but it’s so old now I’ve stopped using it for games.

Maybe I’ll put it on a usb for a while instead of dual booting.

I see Linux in my future, as I just don’t have the cash for a new rig.

I have to be careful though, as it’s my family PC, and the rest of my family aren’t going to tolerate much of a learning curve. It really needs to just work out of the box.

Considering Zorin OS. Hopefully I can get it on my SSD next to Windows so I can dual-boot for a while to test the water…

I’m sure I used to use Audacity back in the day as a free, quick and dirty editor to splice up audio tracks. I’m talking at least 10 years ago.

Had no idea it was still even a thing.

New cars are ludicrously expensive, especially EVs.

The most I can afford to spend on a car is maybe £14K, and that’s under the proviso that about £4K of that is my own money and the rest is a loan to be paid off over about 6 or 7 years.

So yeah, I’m going secondhand ICE with about 50K miles on the clock and praying it doesn’t die before the loan is paid off (and preferably longer still so I can save a bit more towards the next one).

I’m all for EVs, but they’ve got to bring the price down, and they’ve got to get the batteries to last long enough for the secondhand market to be viable.

Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.

Yep, it’s like it’s her generously compensating job compels her or something.

Who’d have thunk it?

(For real though, what did people expect her to say?)

You fools! If you die in Australia, you die in real life!

If you’re interested then you should definitely give it a shot. There’s no combat - all your “battles” are just conversations 😅

Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.

Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you’re a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.

You should try it if you haven’t already.

That’s John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.

The sad part is that there’s a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.

I have a very, very limited understanding of the subject, so take this with a lethal dose of salt, but I’m under the impression that the US healthcare system is an absolute minefield, and not everyone has equal access to it, even via insurance, in the ways you might otherwise typically expect.

I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.

There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.

Two days ago I noticed when watching through the app on my phone that I could no longer just skip ads, and the trick of reporting them to skip didn’t work anymore either. I effectively had to just sit and wait.

That same day I got NewPipe, imported my subscriptions, and honestly even if this is just a phased trial or something, I won’t be going back to the standard YT app.

Creators make pennies from ad revenue. If I want to support them, I’ll make a donation or subscribe to their Patreon or something.

I won’t just sit and suffer a slew of ads while my data is harvested under the false pretense that it’s all to support the creators.
