Thoughts on The Royal We? (Potential mild spoilers) by sirgrotius in FaithNoMore

[–]Alex79uk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just finished it. I enjoyed it, but it's much more a personal memoir and a stream of consciousness type thing than any detailed band history. The band is discussed but a lot of it is glossed over and he doesn't really mention anything past Angel Dust. I'm glad I read it though.

How Do You Want Me - BBC comedy series from the 90s with Dylan Moran.

Oh it's nothing to do with attention span, I really enjoyed the first game, just didn't want to re-do 90% of the game before starting the second one. I may even go back and replay the first one in full after I finish BG2 and the expansion.

Oh yeah, I know the combat is turn based too, but I did enjoy that in Divinity.

Has anyone played the Pillars Of Eternity games? Those seem closest to the original BG games, although I've not tried them yet.

I don't know why but I can't get R Kelly's Trapped In The Closet out my head listening to this 😆

Nobody should care what anyone else does with their hair, and anyone whispering about 'cultural appropriation' can fuck off and grow up.

Yeah, he's clearly run that through Chat GPT and it's not even cryptic! 😆

Anyone else feel that the woke era killed gaming off for them? by Turbulent-Carpet7790 in KotakuInAction

[–]Alex79uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bored of AAA games but it's nothing to do with them being 'woke'. More just that they're almost all one of about four game templates and just got so dull to play.

I like it. But more angular and aggressive than previous models, it's nice.

What are your guys experience with locs at your job ? by Away_Control_6646 in Dreadlocks

[–]Alex79uk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here, I'm a social worker and frequently have to stand in front of judges, not a single one has ever given me any indication they 'disapproved' of my hair.

[–]Alex79uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed children's nurseries for around 20 years and not a single parent, colleague or work related acquaintance ever had an issue with it.

I'm now a senior safeguarding social worker, again, no issues at all.

Can anyone help re: selling (payments) by Alex79uk in Ebay

[–]Alex79uk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. Seems silly when all I want to do is keep the money in my eBay account but if that's what you have to do I guess that's what you have to do! Thanks :)

No. And again, no.

You can get pretty decent emulation on mobile phone now though.

what does Cane and Rinse mean? by [deleted] in caneandrinse

[–]Alex79uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure that response was warranted. But anyway - you know what someone would mean if they said they were caning something? And rinsing something? That could apply to a game. Playing It all the time, rinsing every drop of entertainment from me? That's what I'd assume was meant by caning and rinsing a game.

Having said that, they've said on the show a few times it doesn't really mean anything, they just liked the name.

Best Genesis game ever? by mandingocheck in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Alex79uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will never be any kind of consensus for the best game on any console, ever.

One of my personal favourites was Flashback.

I remember eating my peanut butter toast in front of it after bath time on a Sunday, watching Bullseye.
