This gave big uncanny valley vibes. I imagine it was meant to feel like a magical advert, but instead it felt creepy.

Thanks for the nightmares

Trying to get things lined up for the Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV next week. When first announced I wasn’t very excited, but as it gets closer I’m looking forward to it more and more.

Also dispensing libertea in Helldivers 2

You’ll have to ask the company that eventually buys them out!

Something helpful someone said to me is that if someone says something like “I can’t do it”, simply say “yet” and it immediately changes their point of view.

What annoys me is you still have to pay for audio books.

Huge Eurovision vibes from this, have watched it probably 15+ times since it came about.

I loved this film when I was younger. It was cheesy but the action was good and it had an awesome soundtrack.

After having used Boost for Reddit for so long I was happy to cough up a bit of money to get Boost for Lemmy to not have any ads. Jerboa was great for a free app, but for me the user experience felt free. I haven’t used it since BfL came out so not sure if it’s improved since then.

The true goal of Brexit, to hoard all our tea 🧐

Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.

It’s not the destination but the journey. In that 360 turn you may have looked inwards and at your past, identified failings of the past or remember things you forgot about that you loved. When you reach that 360 point you’re more aware of what has been and may have a different outlook on what could be. Or something like that…

Have production costs increased or has marketing/publishing costs gone up dramatically as gaming attempts to get a greater demographic and introduce predatory monetisation methods? Tools and techniques for game development surely improve over time making development easier and more cost effective.

But a differentiation is needed in this scenario. “Then” suggests a continuation, while “Than” suggests an alternative.

“I’d rather eat cake than have a pineapple up the bum” “I’d rather eat cake then have a pineapple up the bum”

I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t be saying the second sentence verbally.

I have no preference! It was to do with Spring/yaml config and some really strange conflict which required the use of single quotes. I’m still a total noob in the world of software dev, so I wouldn’t be able to explain why it worked 🤣

Removed double quotes, added single quotes

These look delicious 😋

Back when I was younger in college there was a guy who was very socially awkward and unfortunately had a stink that could be smelt from the opposite end of a long corridor. He used to hang out with another kid who had learning difficulties. One day one of the least nice people in my class said to smelly guy “Jesus Christ, why don’t you go take a shower, you stink!” and this caused smelly guy to go bright red in the face and storm off.

Cut to after class and a bunch of us go to the communal area of the college and hang out. Smelly guy walks into the area and walks up to his friend all flustered. His friend asks “Are you alright?” And smelly guy says “Someone told me I need a shower because I smell”, friend says very timidly “it might be a good idea.” Smelly guy goes bright red and storms off again.

He comes back after about 10 minutes and walks up to his friend and pulls out two cans of deodorant and shouts “YOU THINK I SMELL?!” And proceeds to spray the deodorant over himself in a rage…but then turns on his friend and sprays him like crazy. Everyone around is in shock and smelly guy throws the cans on the floor and storms out of the building. We can all see him out the window and he walks up to a bin and kick it, it doesn’t move (secured to the ground) and he falls over, gets up and runs off. We didn’t see him for the rest of the week.

The following week he turns up and his hair has been cut, he has new clothes and his aura of stink is gone. People just casually say hi and over the remaining time we were at college people started to talk to him more and were more polite towards him. He’d still hang out with his friend so I suspect that outburst was water under the bridge.

I hope ex-smelly guy is alright in life. That must have been quite the turning point for him.

Unfortunately it excludes a great deal of gen x and millennials as well who may have voted remain.

The article didn’t really have any substance. To sum it up: “3 Body Problem shouldn’t have been associated with GoT. The book is better. Don’t like it? Watch Battlestar Galactica!”

90% of the time book to movie/TV adaptations have an interior outcome, but the standard of the content produced is still great in its own way.

I haven’t read 3 Body Problem, but I did enjoy the show. I’m looking forward to another season.
