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

I used to think the lyrics were “Cheesestring, from the top of my dome”

Your thoughts on the announced job changes?

Discuss the announced job changes, especially Monk will get bigger rework, Astrologian’s cards won’t be random anymore and so on. I personally like it, because Monk felt like an overly convoluted class with these overarching debuffs. And otherwise it is QoL improvements, even if the naysayers will as always denounce it as a...

Schal330,

I wonder how the flow of Monk will feel. I was excited about the EW changes, but when I actually played it something felt off, it felt like they’d slowed it down. I was planning on switching to Viper as they now appear to be the speedy job

Schal330,

Definitely chippy chips with battered fish.

Schal330,

Yes, but at least you can take your LL with you.

Schal330,

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…

Schal330,

Yes, although it’s been that way for many many years. I also hate the concept of teaser trailers for trailers, as well as “THE. TRAILER. STARTS. NOW!” as if it’s meant to build some kind of hype.

Schal330,

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.

Schal330,

You gotta give

Schal330,

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.

Schal330,

Removed double quotes, added single quotes

Schal330,

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 🤣

Schal330,

I agree, why Hello Games. They are a studio that has gone to great lengths to make the game better and haven’t charged a single penny more. Sean Murray has learnt to not overhype things. I’m looking forward to Light No Fire and having seen what they are capable of following all the NMS updates I have confidence they can succeed.

Schal330,

These look delicious 😋

Anti-tank mines maybe?

Edit: ok I posted this before seeing twitter.com/helldivers2/…/1783831163317989858

Schal330,

There are 29 of them!

Schal330,

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.

Schal330,

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

Schal330,

I feel like the excitement is the same for everyone. It’s a whole new beginning and so we don’t have the excitement we had going from Shadowbringers into Endwalker. I’m setting my expectations low and hoping for the best.

Schal330,

It sucks. A lot of businesses, not just in game development, are getting rid of contractors as they’re expensive. I hope those contractors successfully find work soon.

Schal330,

Cars really are more convenient on an individual basis. It’s not ideal for the environment and getting stuck in traffic is a pain in the arse when it happens, but for the individual it provides greater benefits than public transport.

In the UK it’s cheaper than public transport, it’s much more reliable, it’s healthier (not being in close proximity to those who may be harbouring a flu), and it affords people the freedom to travel somewhere that public transport can’t get you sufficiently close to.

Personally I feel that the best step is to reduce the need for people to travel. If people don’t need to be in offices then don’t enforce policies to get them back in. That’ll reduce car usage as well as public transport.

Schal330,

I agree it can depend on the journey. Convenience can be different things to different people, if two people are travelling from London to Edinburgh by train that could cost around £240 one way, as opposed to driving which could cost around £80 one way. I’d say the cost savings there are convenient for the two people and depending on their budget could outweigh the convenience of one of them being able to sleep on the journey.

Commuting is another matter, if cost of commuting by public transport was cheaper, reliable, personable and generally a more pleasant experience then more people would do it. Once again it also depends on the journey!
