Well, we are lucky here in that unless you live in a real rural area, most of the time you can get rid of your car and live just fine. I walk everywhere, sold my car a year ago and never looked back. Everywhere here, at least south coast, is walkable for pedestrians. All grocery stores do home delivery. Trains are going through strike action constantly it seems, but they do exist and work fine most of the time, bus network is actually good in my area.

I have an almost unbroken pedestrian walk for a full 20 miles stretch - and that’s just walking past the main towns, not including time in them. And these towns contain buildings from the 1500s - didn’t have cars back then, and a load of the old town layouts are still present in my area. No cars were around back then, and they’re just as walkable now.

Not like America where jaywalking exists and you literally can’t walk anywhere in car-centric places

Edit: didn’t even mention the other thing we have here - bike hire, everywhere. I can bring up the app on my phone and see where the nearest bike/electric bike/electric scooter is, walk there, tap its panel with my phone to unlock and off I go. I do that when I’m being lazy. I’ve just checked and there are six bikes available down my road in the nearest bay.

When the older generation who steadily support them through everything finally die off.

Yeah, and with duckstation it doesn’t even need work if you use the controller/bigscreen UI. Press menu, video, and check the options you want. Done.

My mate got to be on the show, lucky git

Kid looked just like pat sharp

Just use duckstation to emulate MGS1. You can have the original 320p image if you want, or use the wide-screen hack, perspective correction (no warping polys) and texture packs for a more modern experience. Why people pay for these half arsed shitty emulation collections is beyond me.

Yep. I’m moving this month and not renewing.

He isn’t.

Anecdotally, EVERY Tory voter I know in my life has now switched or given up. That is my parents, family, close friends, and my friend’s dad who used to be head of a large conservative council here in the UK in the 90s.

Actually, he’s not voting at all. He’s abstaining with the view of 'theyre all the same now". Which makes no sense, but it’s better than a Tory vote in my mind.

My other grandparents are, oddly enough, labour voters despite being even richer, and even donators from what I last heard. It’s a weird place to be in, between both extremes.

He needs to get in.

I’m still dismayed by the ref result, but he needs to get in first and then enact change. This is gonna take time, and it sucks.

Aw fuck

Please stay away from Nintendo.

My grandad is a hardcore Tory. There’s no changing the guy, he’s 83 and stuck in his ways - and ridiculously rich.

However - he did say one thing this week, which is he disagrees with this policy change. He has no idea why we are now moving backwards when everyone else is moving forwards. I mean, it’s not a unique issue when it comes to the Tories but cars is finally one he can understand on a personal level

Yep, it’s just a bit frustrating really. All they need to do is throw in some extra keycaps into the box.

I just cannot do ANSI. there is no reversing 30 years of muscle memory.

Edit: I mean, I can do ANSI. and other layouts - I have an original Famicom keyboard I love. But for daily use, especially work…no.

Same, plus no UK ISO layout options.

I can’t stand listening to them. 99% of people doing these videos, any videos, on YouTube have no concept or idea of how to actually talk properly to an audience. I don’t want to have to skip through someone fucking mumbling in an indecipherable accent to find what I need.

Give me written instructions/guides. It’s faster, I can re-read easily at my own pace (fast!) and I don’t get annoyed by someone’s nasally voice. Yes I’m an older one too.

I’m the biggest Xenoblade geek around - what the fuck at your later part (not at you). If you mean Future Redeemed, that is absolutely 100% tying up the entire trilogy (and also tying in Gears/Saga/X as much as Takahashi could do), and yes - there are multiple monados (A’s, Alpha’s). Shulks is a replica, but the other two are literally split from Ontos’ original. Matthew’s gauntlets are also arguably a Monado too, powered by the Pneuma core, and I would also argue that N’s sword of the end is also a Monado, based on the Logos core.

I had enough with the Xenoblade community back when XB3 launched and the usual culprits who also run the wiki absolutely laughed anyone out of the room who suggested those statues in the city were of Shulk and Rex. I mean, the descriptions and look made it obvious to anyone with a brain (and FR proved yes, it was them) - but no, these things have to be spelled out in black and white and made 100% obvious apparently otherwise it can’t be true. It’s sad, frustrating, and goes against the entire philosophy of the series.

I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)

At least that’s what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks

I’ve carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.

No, our lot are significantly more boring. Think Hot Fuzz, seriously. It’s that type of “ooo-er not in our village!!!” NIMBY stuck in their way type of folk.
