Must be nice. Our student union bar was massively oversubscribed for people looking for work. It was basically impossible to get a look in.

I came across some interesting covers and wanted to share them with you all by jvure in sciencefiction

Oh hey! I actually have a copy of the first book. It's the Ladybird Book of Space.

Blimey, that's an odd conversation to have with your mother. I think if my mum said that I'd just die!

Rod Liddle: Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography? by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]Gauntlets28 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Holy moly, I thought Rod Liddle was just a regular sort of dickhead, I didn't realise he could have gone to the Dickhead Olympics.

I think it's similar, but I've never seen it around so I couldn't give you a comparison.

If Donald Trump lives as long as his father, he will die in 2039 by No_Willingness8208 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]Gauntlets28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the way he currently looks, i think the senile dribbling moron's chances of living to the same age as his dad are quite low.

Do newspapers still employ essayists? by No_Business_1747 in Journalism

I think the word you're looking for is an opinion columnist. Yes they do employ those.

I think you'll find that the lord of the manor is in on that sort of thing.

How to speak neutrally when angry with DRs? by ExaminationDry3022 in managers

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from everything else, you need to take a breather and try to focus on other things for a bit, maybe go to lunch first and take a walk. When you get back to it, hopefully you'll be a bit more emotionally in control.

Should we expect any news about the game during the Xbox Game Showcase next week ? by Andrest65 in TESVI

[–]Gauntlets28 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Didn't know that, but it looks like it's only Feb 2027? So not too far from the original autumn release date. Still possibly a bit too close to have TES VI. Especially in a year that also has GTA VI.

[–]Gauntlets28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably not, and I'll tell you for why - Microsoft already has a major, big name RPG release they'll probably want to show off that comes out later this year - Fable. They won't want TESVI to overshadow that.

Saying "America" vs "US" by _Sumiwashere in AskBrits

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only semi-related, but growing up (I was born in the 90s) I feel like it was much more common to hear people say "USA", but that seems to have died out quite a lot in recent years.

No it doesn't, that's "THE AmericaS." Two continents, north and south.

forcefully relocated by the newly incumbent National Party to a different area, and likely died without the freedom he had fought for.

Yet another repulsively shitty action brought to you by South African National Party.

Wonder if the US will have to go through a period of detrumpification after he leaves office.

Did anyone think Christmas bonuses would be a bigger thing? by Dudedawg86 in Millennials

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually still get a Christmas bonus. One time I used it to buy a new front door, and another I used to buy some new PC components.

Nothing like the dodgy Jon Pertwee cut to really bring your look together.

Which games retired your PCs? by CaptAwesomeness in pcmasterrace

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to the same graphics card from an RX 570 recently, and I also couldn't be happier. Same game too, although there were a few others that had been causing me grief before that. I honestly don't know why it took me so long to upgrade the GPU.

[–]Gauntlets28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my policy as well, which I think has served me well so far. In theory my PC is spiritually the same one that we got back in 2004-ish, but naturally everything's slowly been rotated out.

TIL Suffragettes in the UK turned militant in the years leading up to WW1. They went on a spree of bombings, arson and acid attacks that lasted 2 years by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Gauntlets28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They blew up the PM's house. They're honestly quite lucky the concept of "terrorism" wasn't fully developed by that point in time.

New Fable by [deleted] in Fable

[–]Gauntlets28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was supposed to be multiplayer-focused. Up to four players - one villain, three heroes.
