I support this decision.

Thanks for looking out for us, Ada. <3

I’ve been rewatching Vic Reeves Big Night Out on All4. Presumably because I hate my sanity and want to confuse myself? /joke

I would’ve let it lie!

But I would’ve let it lie, Vic!

Surely the answer is “Depends which bit of it you’re quoting.” For example, if you quote something that calls for genocide then, obviously, yes. But if you were to quote something relatively innocuous, then yes because you’re quoting from a book that, among other things, calls for genocide.

Free speech, sure.

Freedom from consequences, absolutely fucking not.

Ah, my good old friend the slippery slope fallacy. I haven’t seen you for checks watch a couple of days.

Now you’re just putting words in my mouth. You clearly aren’t engaging in good faith so this conversation ends here. Have a nice day. :)

You absolutely should not feel bad about doing this. Ever.

If anything, you should talk about it and share your experience, because your experience could help some of those who work manual intensive jobs and are still struggling to get raises of their own.

Remember: If the company isn’t able to fairly compensate its workers, it doesn’t get to have workers. That’s how supply and demand works.

Funny thing, when I was growing up there, depending on which side of the town you lived on you pronounced it one of two different ways.

Neither of which was slay-th’wait.

Cevilia, 9 months ago

Got it in one! Or, two. You got it in two.

How did you think it was pronounced?

Not judging you for not magically knowing how random place names are pronounced or anything, genuinely curious.

Bold of you to assume Northern paid a voice actor and didn’t just sit a random driver down in front of a microphone. /joke

My phone is my wallet. It goes in my inside pocket where people aren’t going to be able to pick it. I’ve played Skyrim. I know how pickpocketing works. /joke

I have no idea what you’re on about. Literally every phone I have ever owned turns off mobile data when I’m connected to Wi-Fi, and turns it back on again when my Wi-Fi disconnects.

There is a small, but growing, number of retailers that have decided to apply this worldwide. Perhaps GOG is the most noteworthy. Look at anything that’s discounted there and you’ll see their “usual” price, as well as the lowest price they sold it for in the last 30 days before the current discount started. It’s a good rule, makes me more inclined to feel I’m actually getting a good deal, wish more places would do it

Cloanto, the company that owns the rights to the Commodore Amiga line, have a legal emulator that they sell called Amiga Forever. It’s about half the price of one modern AAA game, and when you download it, it comes with about fifty games of varying notability, and there’s many times more you can just install and play. And it’s all legal.

I would love this to be the industry norm, imagine being able to download a NES! It’s annoying that if we want future generations to be able to experience games of the past (whether to learn from them, or just for pleasure) we need to teach our children about piracy.

Rest in peace.

Why? (For both parts of that statement)

yt-dlp can just download the audio. It usually comes down in m4a at quality that I would describe as “very listenable”. So only the first of those three steps are mandatory if you do it that way.

yt-dlp -x <url>

I am extremely disappointed by this.

I thought we were free of such toxicity here.

TIL only men are allowed to think Link is cute.

I learned that lesson quite recently actually, that games should be fun! I ended up starting watching someone else play through the game so I can catch the end of the story and have closure. :)
