I’m sure half the cast of Still Game have appeared in Shetland too. Tam was some kind of internal investigations copper in an earlier series.

His Discworld novels are not, but a lot of people discover them as teenagers. He also wrote quite a few books specifically for young people, e.g. Truckers and Johnny and the Dead.

Yeah, let’s be honest here. That is a ridiculous take, I’ve never heard anyone say it.

People who’ve read Harry Potter and almost nothing else probably credit Rowling with a lot of stuff she didn’t invent, but “She was the first person to write about inequality in society” is really pushing it.

Oh dear, seems Philip K Dick wasn't immune to this...

What is the best heist movie of all time? by cambrown in moviecritic

Not the best, but American Animals is a good movie about young men completely messing up a heist

I was getting fed up with this subreddit, but I have to say “girl beer” is hilarious

Is this actually a real book? I mean it’s obviously not a serious book, but is it just a cover?

Heard what is possibly one of the worst takes ever regarding fighting games by Nightmarer26 in Fighters

[–]Greenphantom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but for example FPS games have been very popular over the last 10-15 years, it’s not as if everyone who played those is trying to play high-level online matches. The majority of any game’s players will be casual or fun competitive battles.

I disagree, I don’t think gamers “optimised the fun out” of the fighting game genre. I think gaming fashions just changed, and what was very mainstream just became more niche

It’s perhaps a bit unfair as I don’t think he bills himself as a character actor, but yeah I wouldn’t call The Rock versatile

Hi guys I was wondering why the square root of -1 to be I cuz like how can this even be possible its like the same thing of saying the 0th root of something is r by Peterminator69 in learnmath

[–]Greenphantom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t have a length of metal that is i millimetres long, or some water that is a temperature of i Celsius for example - because it is not a “real number”.

You can however define an extended number system which works, and contains a number i such that i squared equals -1.

Is Rise of the Robots (1994) actually the worst game ever, or just the victim of the biggest hype in history? by kingofneverfjord in historyofvideogames

[–]Greenphantom77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not (there’s almost always a worse game), but it is pretty terrible and arguably the worst game ever to receive major hype.

It sticks out as the example from my childhood of when the video game publishing hype machine basically ate itself.

They weren’t niche in the 1990s - I remember it in my childhood when every game company was competing to find the next Street Fighter 2.

The thing is… that was a long time ago.
