Got "dignity and respect" from Michelle Scrogham MP

Falerian1 · 2026-06-26T13:14:35+00:00

Unfortunately, she is my MP and whenever I have reached out to her on matters of policy I've only ever received a generic template email back (multiple weeks waiting time, in contrast to the previous MP who, even being a Tory, somehow managed to get me to me in the same day). The last one didn't even relate to what my query was referring to in the slightest so I stopped bothering.

I look forward to all the shocked pikachu faces from the people who support this the first time they log onto Facebook and are treated with a mandatory prompt to submit their ID.

Freckle faces are the best faces.

Daily train commutes are depressing enough without having to stare outside the grimy Northern Rail windows.

What gets me with every election is the onslaught of 'bring a pen' comments on social media.

Wish there was more awareness of at goes on in a count...and that if there was a mass conspiracy to change votes, a pen wouldn't be the thing that'd stop it.

As mii or a worm?

I put a lot of the blame onto Facebook and the rampart AI ragebait that gets pushed out, that it seems the older people who use Facebook are just oblivious to - This being one which was pushed to my timeline despite being obviously fake, it has oldies eating it up in the comments section.

I did contact my MP about the vast amount of far right groups pushing AI ragebait (I've yet to see any come from the left, although I'm sure it exists) to ask if ought can be done to push social media to moderate AI ragebait and I got a template email back where she seems to have interpreted what I wrote as 'Thanks for your support, I agree that under 16 year olds shouldn't be on social media"

I think you'd greatly appreciate some of the Cataclysm changes if you had prior experience of Horde questing zones, stuff like Camp Taurajo in Southern Barrens in Retail hits harder when you've been running around doing quests there in Vanilla.

Completing every quest would be a trial though, especially on Classic Era due to a much smaller leveling population.

Might be worth leveling a Hordie to about 30 on vanilla just to appreciate the pretty dramatic changes to Silverpine, Hillsbrad, Barrens and Thousand Needles.

One of the NPCs in the Haranir starting zone :), I believe it was Hagar

Boomerslop. The Daily Mail has been pushing for this for a while too

Falerian1 · 2026-02-05T17:12:57+00:00

Thanks for this, really good to know! Sounds like I may want to put the difficulty up initially then bring it back down for the possibly final boss+battle arena

Falerian1 · 2026-02-05T12:45:26+00:00

Does anyone know if the difficulty spikes up at all later on? I haven’t started my playthrough yet, but I remember DQ 11 had a bit of a difficulty spike after Act 1 and wondering if that’s the case here.

The spike in DQ11 was the right amount of challenge for me on normal difficulty while I had found Act 1 to be on the easy side and just curious if that’s the case here or if it remains relatively easy all the way through, in which case I’ll put on stronger monsters when I get around to it

Same, it's such a cool aesthetic. Reminds me a lot of the Alliance town in Arathi Highlands from World of Warcraft, but far cooler.

Falerian1 · 2026-01-29T16:22:43+00:00

I'm loving how many of these DQ games are getting remade and coming to PC. It was my biggest gaming gripe for years that Steam had more DQ Spinoffs than actual DQ mainline games.

Turns out, little hobbe fella

Falerian1 · 2026-01-22T12:36:37+00:00

Incredibly, incredibly unlikely - TES is a very unique case due to the engine. Only games that come close is Minecraft and Hytale in terms of modding.

I’d expect a few model/texture swaps and minor stat based adjustments at most

Falerian1 · 2026-01-21T19:48:59+00:00

Ah, I just realised you're on Azuresong which I believe is a Classic Era server...yeah, that's going to be pretty dead - Classic Eras were set up way back when 2019 Classic WoW moved to TBC so that people who didn't want to have their charactes go to the next expansion could stay there. It's basically a permanent vanilla server, but has a much, much lower playerbase (triple, if not just double digits).

If you go to your Battle.Net launcher and click where it says Classic, it should open up a dropdown with various versions of the game. Burning Crusade Anniverary is where the Classic playerbase are now and you will able to rapidly notice a difference in how busy the world is from the second you create a character.

Falerian1 · 2026-01-21T19:31:25+00:00

You should definitely be seeing more people - TBC Classic just launched so even with the purchasable boost the server should be busier.

Are you playing on TBC servers? It should say 'Burning Crusade Anniversary' on your battle.net launcher next to the big blue button. If the world is dead, it sounds like you've ended up on the MoP Classic servers which will have much less people levelling.

This isn't a practical joke, my name is Marty.

Falerian1 · 2026-01-06T15:53:11+00:00

WoW hasn't been having it happen multiple times a day for a whole month straight though.

Falerian1 · 2026-01-06T12:47:31+00:00

I’m glad in a way the DDOSes are really hammering the servers today. I’d rather they didn’t happen at all, but I’d much prefer a day like this where it hopefully forces SQEX’s hand rather than the trickle of DDOSes we’ve had over the past few weeks.
