If they don’t want honest people considering it, maybe they shouldn’t raise the price by 80% in a single price change.

I paid for YouTube premium when it was first available. They guaranteed the price would never change as I was a first adopter. Then they did. Then they did it again. And then again.

Google can fuck off. They have all the money in the world and they need to extort the people who helped grow their business.

I just finished playing X3: Terrain Conflict, and I’ll never play another X game.

As an achievement hunter, I normally play past the point of normal enjoyment, but this game told me, more or less, to go fuck myself.

The first kick in the nuts was completing “Dead Is Dead” mode.

You don’t get to save (with the exception of shutting the game down, but the save will delete upon starting it back up).

The game is prone to crashes, meaning you can have your entire save wiped in an instant because the game decides it doesn’t like it when you use the fast forward function within 10 seconds of a cut scene.

On top of that, one of the campaigns requires you to set up a massive complex of microchips and silicon, which also has a chance of triggering a crash each time you place a factory down.

The final 2 achievements are basically “grind until we say stop”. Which functionally resulted in me leaving my computer on overnight, four nights in a row.

The fact that the devs left the game in this state is inconsiderate at best, and disrespectful at worst.

Besides, the game is basically just an excel sheet simulator, it really isn’t very engaging.

It’s bound to happen.

Sony has been breaking into the PC space for a bit now.

Definitely recommended. I’ve been using it for two years now, and I noticed the seasonal changes don’t seem as bad because my alarms don’t change depending on daylight savings time (the real enemy here which needs to be abolished).

Dude, I live in Australia. My winter is your summer. So yes, sometimes.

Except for right now it’s 9pm and I’ve been drinking.

Don’t judge me.

As I mentioned, we need to rely on technology to manage these things to be efficient, as even something like altitude changes the “sunrise time” - so booking appointments and meetings would be too hard.

It’s a fantasy for the most past, we would never see its implementation in our lifetime.

The first argument is silly. You could simply search “Sunrise time Melbourne”.

The second argument is also silly. Some people do work jobs overnight, and they don’t say they work 19:00-24:00 + 0:00-2:00

They simply say “I’m working Friday from 19 till 2”

Third argument is the same as the first. Look up “sunrise time Melbourne”.

Besides, a single format timezone works best when the people who use it are prepared to let technology dictate floating values.

Sunrise time is always changing, and our bodies have evolved to wake with the sun, not with some arbitrary number.

That’s why I use Suntimes to wake up.

I set my alarm to “sunrise minus one” and I always wake up one hour before sunrise.

I work from home, so work always starts for me “sunrise plus one”.

I set my alarm to tell me to sleep at “sunrise minus 10” and I get 8.5 hours sleep which is fine for me.

“Oh fuck, that must mean something was there before, keep rolling perception checks, whatever it is must be around here somewhere”

As you get towards the bottom, do you spiral out of control, or do you just become stuck?

It’s all about what sort of group you’re playing with. I run a group for some kids at my school and I know they would be heartbroken if I just straight up killed them.

I’ve only had to do this once though. I made it a lesson about caution. The player was being reckless, and they ‘died’. Seeing how distraught he was, I decided after the encounter, that the other players should roll for a perception check, and noticed the character still breathing slightly. It was nice to see the kid perk up immediately afterwards.

Bro paragraphs are your friends.

As long as you’re not going super hardcore, I don’t see the problem with just letting the truth of the dice decide whether a character receives a ‘fatal’ blow, only to find after the combat encounter that the character is barely alive, and the rest of the group needs to focus all their resources on triage and emergency evac.

Getting out of a dangerous place with a barely conscious character can make for a pretty tense situation.

When I was 12 my Mum gave me my first PC, it was a second hand work PC with a tiny HDD.

There wasn’t enough space to install The Sims, so I deleted the Program Files folder, thinking I don’t need any programs, only games.

I bricked my PC lol. Needed a tech to reinstall Windows. Thankfully, I could tell him I needed enough space for the game and he debloated it as much as he could. Legend.

Wanda, I wish I had an extra inch

noo timmy, you’re still a child, why are you already so concerned with how others perceive you??!

Cosmo, I want a flashlight so bright I can see inside a black hole.

LOL here you go. Want me to teleport you to the event horizon for testing?

Technically not. There are habits, which are mental, and then there are chemical addictions.

Regardless, you could simply wish for crack to magically appear in everyone’s blood stream in a constant pace for the next week, then turn it off suddenly, and watch everyone (except the crackheads with a stash) go through hell together.

Look at these perverts using acronyms! Fucking nerdverts!

I can arrive at the same amazement with a random selection on PornHub

Depends on the person I suppose.

I thought Game of Thrones was dull to start, but I was glad to have stuck with it while it was airing. It’s a shame it turned into shit though.

What is your favourite TV series?

Would you recommend it to others?

Would you recommend it if the first 3 hours weren’t very entertaining, but were necessary for plot development?

Females entertained with music attacked hosts much later than their non-entertained peers.

Based off the house parties I’ve attended, this checks out.
