I hear your a racist now Father.

Classic Reddit. Don't agree with this person on a literal question about opinions, downvote them.

Exactly right. Just taking the crate challenge as an example. I saw a bunch of them with the standard pyramid shape, then started seeing variations where it's higher, or people doing it on bikes, on bridges, over fires, and so on.

The constant need to up the ante makes it even more dangerous.

Most of my dice are metal but I keep some cheap plastic ones, and when my regular dice roll especially badly I make them watch as I throw the plastic ones on the fire.

Dice jail is a thing.

Really? Lister doesn't even have that thick of a scouse accent. I can empathise regarding Attack The Block, That does use some heavy London youth slang. Even being British and having lived in London for 5 years, it took a minute to get into. Worth it though.

What about watching it with subtitles?

Haha, no, genuinely. It was always a series first. The books came alongside and expanded on the universe. They loosely follow the plots of the episodes from around the time they came out. "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" was the first and follows some events of series 1 and 2.

The show predates any of the books.

No it doesn't. That's series 9 (really a three part special called "Back To Earth") and it turns out to be a hallucination caused by the same species that cause the hallucination in the episode "Back To Reality" in series 5. It is a bit weak and the meta angle was quite poorly received.

There have been three series and a feature-length special since then. They are also significantly better, closer to the old stuff, especially series 11 and 12.

There is a brilliant write-up of the final episode here. I never saw it but it sounds as mad as a thing can be.

Also the first youth-targeted show to feature a gay kiss, back in 1994. Many papers called for the producer to be sacked but the BBC supported the story-line and were joined by a flood of support from gay teenagers as well as teachers and parents.

Exactly. It's hard not to have some sympathy for Mark & Jez at times because you see their insecurities and flaws, but they are still selfish arseholes and they mostly deserve the shit they get.

Even in those examples, there is nuance. The characters have some depth so even when they do shitty things, you can at least understand that they are flawed and where their behaviour is coming from.

Although I love IASIP I do feel like it suffers the same issue with shallow characters, it's just unusual because they are "bad" instead of "good". There still isn't much depth to them.

Being British I think this is something much more common in our comedy. If you look at Peep Show, Alan Partridge, Blackadder, The Office (UK) etc. These are pretty terrible people who do/say terrible things and you laugh at them, not with them, for it.

Never misses an opportunity to remind us what a Grade-A cunt he is.

I love the ingenuity! Obviously it's not really very practical to do this but as a proof of concept it's great. Looking forward to how you develop this.

Too soon to really say. The tech is fantastic, best controller I've ever used, but it's only had a few months of use so in terms of longevity and battery degradation, it'll take a while before we can really compare it.

To be honest, I never had much trouble with PS4 controllers anyway. The only issue is the oldest ones didn't last very long on a charge any more but that's to be expected.

That's incredible. This needs to be higher, best one I've seen.

Aww, I was expecting rock Foos and pop Jackson. Dee Gees is disco and so is that era of Michael Jackson. Less surprising they work together really.

"Mumble in Rap Major" is a brilliant title.

Sure. I'll just magic a grand out of the air. Thanks for the help.

I'm willing to bet it wasn't a dream-crushing effort but a gentle steer in the direction of real street.

Plenty of kids think they're gonna be the next Tom Cruise or Alex Trebek. A teacher's job is to encourage them to explore their interests but make sure they also have useful practical knowledge and skills too.

I expect the teacher once said, when frustrated with Harvey's lack of effort in more core subjects, something like "you're never going to be on TV, you need to make sure you learn this stuff".

From the little I know of Steve Harvey, I expect he's let that fester into bitter resentment ever since.

As a Cyber professional I would suggest a couple of big topics right now are ransomware (a major threat for just about every business) and the sloppy application of remote access (of specific interest me, working in OT/ICS).

There should be plenty of data on these and lots of real world examples to pull from.

I think it's a testament to the value of nailing controls and basic gameplay loops.

If you get those right, the dated graphics, weak/lacking plot, and all the other missing superficial shit doesn't matter.

Not a vindaloo, but if you ask them to smoke you one, they'll expect you to be back for breakfast.
