“Alight here for Business & IP Centre”. Thanks bus, but I’d rather be kicked firmly in the nads.
Thanks Uber for the least surprising fact ever. In a continent with a population of 442 million, over *one million* of them order food every week.
Super excited for the game, local multiplayer, the core game loop I think is pretty solid for quick bursts and there’s so much scope for feature creep. Did you know Unreal Engine can accept DMX inputs and control game parameters with them?
I’ve decided to learn to make a game. Got the core of a character who can run around picking up cubes down in three hours or so the other day from previous experience, then spent a good six hours on and off to make player two spawn. The answer was a 0.2s sleep before activating input.
@fesshole next post on Fesshole. “I’m a priest, when I get bored I say arseholes instead of our souls. Nobody has noticed.”
@jonty transferring a Minecraft world from an XBox to a real computer. Despite both being linked to the same XBox account *which supports save sync for every other game* this requires signing up for a free trial of a multiplayer server, uploading the world to that, downloading it from there to the computer, and then trying to work out how to cancel the damn trial.
In the original ending to T2, John and Sarah Connor prevent the rise of Skynet by hacking into Cyberdyne Systems and reducing the revenue on the balance sheet from $100billion to $95billion, but this didn't go over well with test audiences for some reason
Either that or recipes can normalise on 175c being the standard oven temperature.
Petition for all ovens to have 180c labelled rather than having to guess where it lies between 175 and 200.
@LilahTovMoon YouTube: “I see you’re interested in light bulb reviews. Here, all your recommendations are now light bulb related. All light bulbs, all the time.”
Also YouTube: “Hmm, odd you’re watching so many light bulb videos recently.”
@misty and this is why Santa should have been aware of his obligations under GDPR to properly secure his data and only keep information that’s required. I bet none of those kids consented to this data collection either.
@sarahdal @jonathanmatthews there’s some debate whether Klefki (“the one that’s just some keys”) is terrible, or so good it got banned from competitive play.
@sarahdal @jonathanmatthews I have spoken to my Pokemon consultants (a Discord full of games nerds) and the literal answer is Trubbish, who is a pile of rubbish. It may be some time until the dust settles and we have a more definitive answer.
@anon_opin I’d wager most professional sports people have done nothing but their choice of sport since the age of seven or eight.
@anon_opin true of being at the top of any field which requires you to spend basically every waking hour working on or thinking about it to make any money.
@sinvega they were devices that can only receive messages, early on only numbers. You’d receive a message containing a phone number to call, and would then find a payphone. Not sure I ever knew one who actually had one but I grew up during the era when chunky mobile phones were the thing for people who must be contactable at all times.
Oh, yes, and in morrisons (quiet, thanks) they were stripping the Christmas aisle out. One side was cleaning products & I guess the other side was going to be Easter. Can't let the poor guy enjoy his birthday without bringing out the chocolate of death
I’ve just been made aware Sainsbury’s are selling pigs in blankets tea, which I’m pretty sure is one of the omens of the apocalypse. They’ve also got sprouts tea; I assume that’s just the water someone overboiled the sprouts in.
There are so many minor aggressive moves made by product designers these days but the one that will bother me every single time is TV apps, which without fail will bury the option to continue watching the show you watched last under 2-3 carousels of half-arsed recommendations. 99% of your users want the resume option, please let us have it.
@jackeric both Tesco & M&S were literally giving away carrots for Santa’s reindeers yesterday. I think they’ve massively overstocked.
@catsalad this sounds like a thing you’d find in the rave bathroom at Congress.
@anon_opin alternatively declare any delivery to a place without clear numbers undeliverable. They’d quickly sort it out.
@anon_opin first person shooters only work because they don’t simulate the injuries. Being a real soldier and having your leg blown off by a landline is miserable.
@anon_opin this sounded great until the more talking about football.
Who do I need to talk to for the Natural History Museum to be turned into a Hitman level? Dropping a whale skeleton on the target. Adjusting the t-Rex so it leans over and eats them. Dropping them in a vast jar of preserving fluid. There are so many possibilities!
