I think you could lose your mind doing this. In my garage I have a few pots of various screws sorted by the material they’re made of.

I keep entertaining the idea of sorting them by size, for example, one pot for M8 nuts, bolts, screws, etc. just because it’s obviously easy to tell the difference between a nut and a screw, but not easy to tell the difference between an M8 nut and an M10 nut.

Most stuff just goes in the recycling though.

What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.

I’m probably remembering half of this wrong, it was the only time I’ve ever played Settlers of Catan in my life. So I recall you have to be the first person to so many points and I got something like a port which let me convert hay to points. I got that and then quietly traded all my items for hay.

Out of all of us there were only two guys that had played before, I’ve never met either of them before or since. They were getting really serious and competitive with each other. I still remember the look on one guy’s face when I eon the game out of nowhere. I wasn’t being smug or anything but this guy gave me a proper glare. He was a little bitch and wouldn’t talk to me for the rest of the night. A couple of people said they were glad I beat him.

What do you find uplifting about Doom? Is it the bit where demons enslave the Earth?

VPNs are banned in Russia to make sure they don’t accidentally get inaccurate information about the special military operation.

I know everyone hates AI being forced into stuff but I think it could be great for games, both in regards to voice acting like here and with creating loads of low-level content, like boring litter, etc. I’m playing Cyberpunk right now and I keeps thinking how it’s a shame that you can’t enter most of the buildings. I’m hoping that with AI that will somehow become possible. Imagine being able to walk into a huge office block, find any random person then have a deep conversation with them. It’ll be amazing. Right now if you walk up to anyone who doesn’t have something specific to say it’s just “Can I help you” and shit like that.

It’s just a ceremonial thing, they don’t have any actual power. Plus it makes money for the country. There’s not really any reason to get rid of them and King Charles is always pushing anti-climate change stuff so he’s actually using his influence to try and help.

Actually loads of people do.

This one was much better than the sequels and I think it was because in the sequels I found Lara unbearable. In this one she was scrappy and there was lighthearted chitchat to just make everyone feel a bit human. In the sequels everything was just so melodramatic and it all took itself way too seriously, especially considering how silly the stories were.

It’s crazy how entitled we all feel to free information and news nowadays. 30 years ago you would never expect a newspaper for free but now it wouldn’t even occur to me to pay for news. Then we all wonder why the news sites all only deal in crappy click bait.

I don’t know how people who block ads are so delusional to think that these websites would be sad to see them go, any more than shops would be sad to see shoplifters take their business elsewhere.

I get why some people might block ads but don’t kid yourselves, you’re blocking the only revenue stream for most sites and it doesn’t cost you anything. I’m not taking about tracking of course, sites that track you can get fucked.

You know you can view your history on YouTube don’t you?

It’s pretty slick to be honest, way smoother than Ubuntu on the same old machine. It does largely feel like Android though, and it’s Google all over.

I use OneDrive. I know people will hate but it’s cheap and works on everything (well, it takes a third party tool on Linux). If I care about it it goes in OneDrive, otherwise I don’t need it that much.

Is this Netflix for the worldwide release? It’s traditionally been in the BBC in the UK. I hate Netflix and cancelled it ages ago.

Nothing that happens on the internet matters.

Want Doom64 supposed to be Doom 3?

It is set to that, but it was set to that before and it still worked.

passwd is still saying the accounts locked.

They can’t just spend their whole term shitting on the Conservatives.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of way of recording what games have been purchased (licensed) so that if a store were using goes out of business we should be able to get it from another store, at least for a very reduced price just to cover their costs.
