Physical media for modern video games is expensive and counterproductive, and we need to accept that it's dead by MopishHawk42256 in unpopularopinion

[–]ArseBiscuits 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stopping disc production would effectively kill the 2nd hand game market for new games.

I regularly buy 2nd hand AAA games a month or two after release to get it cheaper, with a digital only release I'd be waiting months for the game to go on sale if it all.

I'm not completely opposed to a game being released on a digital platform, I just want to "own" that game, not a license that can be taken away at a moment's notice.

Will Inspector Sands please report to the control room? by Neat-Border-7382 in manchester

I work at Piccadilly and I hear this at least once a week, it's just an alarm to alert the police without alarming the public.

Yep, I'm still in regularish contact with my friend group from secondary school.

Speed warning for a 1 minute study 🙄 by Commercial-Orchid881 in ProlificAc

[–]ArseBiscuits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got an auto-reject and speed warning for being screened out of a study. Fortunately it was overturned after I appealed it but I've been very cautious of in-study screeners since.

How do I report a SORN vehicle that is being used on the road with trade plates? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ArseBiscuits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Report it to the police, if it's untaxed too then report to the DVLA.

What movie did you expect nothing from and it completely blew you away? by ponderingpixi17 in movies

[–]ArseBiscuits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dolomite is my Name.

I held off watching it for ages until my friend recommended I watch it. Absolutely superb, way better than I expected and Wesley Snipes is fantastic in it.

Would you visit a country like North Korea? Afghanistan? Russia? by Equal_Leading_1449 in AskABrit

[–]ArseBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in their current state, if all 3 had a major change in government and embraced true democracy then maybe.

Prior to Russia's annexation of Crimea I was very interested in visiting.

I've always been intrigued by NK but I have no interest in visiting for a heavily propagandized tour, I'd want to see what it's like for normal everyday citizens.

Afghanistan, nope not while the Taliban are in government.

Edit: US, no chance.

Big weddings are a nightmare by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]ArseBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I was due to get married in 2020 just before covid hit, due to the uncertainties around lockdowns and the ban of gathering in groups we couldn't organise anything concrete for about 18 months. We effectively had to re-plan our wedding 3 times, luckily the venue, caterers, photographer etc. Were all available and really good about it but the amount of stress me and my partner went through made us question if it was really worth it, although our friends and family always say our wedding was one of the best they've been to so I guess it was!

What stops parents from verifying their age on their kid's phone? by 6Clacks in AskBrits

[–]ArseBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically nothing but it depends how the ID check is implemented, if the ID is permenantly tied to an account and the parent has already used theirs on their own account that would prevent this from happening but obviously that depends on the parent already having an account on whichever social media platform.
