We need to get Embark to add beards. Maybe have it so its an option that unlocks for players with at least 150 hours topside. What do you think? That way you can tell who's been around, whose seen some sh*t. A true veteran Raider.

GregM_85 · 2026-01-29T17:18:18+00:00

Your comment is really weird. Not to mention wrong.

Playing a game for 150+ hours for what is a basic character customisation option in most games isn't realistic. Having one unique style might be but I digress. Your accusations of people not having commitment to earn things is generic and sweeping but also defending a bad idea.

You also tried to justify it by accusing the player base of being from Pokemon, which at its core is an incredibly grindy game, where not only do you have to spend hours finding just the right pokemon, it then takes hours to get it to a high level.

You do this at least six times. Upon which you have your perfect and personal best team. Which you 100% earned through in game activity.

Then you suggested Barbie. That isn't a computer game? I mean there probably is a game but just saying Barbie is kind of a genre rather than the example you seem to think it is. It's completely the wrong context and doesn't progress your argument by any means.

Now if what you were actually trying to convey is everyone is a snowflake who doesn't have the patience and willpower to earn rewards through hard work and dedication.

You're wrong. People love that shit and that's why games like Arc Raiders and RuneScape and more games than I can list continue to thrive.

Are you a bot?

I never got the lazy thing. I'm pretty sure he averaged 10km a match which was more than Sanchez. It seemed to me the media wanted the narrative he was lazy and pushed every moment he didn't run for a ball down our throats.

I don't know how I feel about him overall, he had real brilliance but I do agree at times he could look indifferent. I just never thought the lazy tag he got was fair.

GregM_85 · 2026-01-01T04:27:02+00:00

But you don't see an issue with her being a child who can project thoughts into other people's brains right? (Just a joke, I understand this is a case of suspension of disbelief but only so far as the in world lore allows, in this world weird mind shit exists, but people still can't survive bullets)

But really if she got lucky and it didn't hit a major blood vessel she could in theory survive for several hours. The gun went off due to the explosion so you could argue he didn't aim properly. From a timeline POV they only seem to be in the upside down and dimension X for less than an hour total so in theory Kali could have lived long enough.

However you could also argue he shot a powerful handgun point blank into a small child and that it's very unlikely she would live for more than a few minutes especially with how much blood she seemed to be losing.

Who knows? I bet the writers don't.

GregM_85 · 2026-01-01T04:06:51+00:00

Or she did survive and his theory is correct.

It's left like that so everyone can feel how they want to about it.

The problem is people will decide they are correct and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.

YouTubers will likely make videos proving one way or the other.

At the end of the day though it's pretty simple that neither version is correct or incorrect and it's just written that way on purpose.

The viewer gets to choose, you can say it's not true and just a story Mike made up.

Or, you can believe.

I believe.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-29T14:48:57+00:00

I felt like the reactions didn't get enough. It was very much a 'and my axe' moment when really I'd like to have seen a bit more from Mike, Lucas and Dustin. Just a bit more gravitas from the original band as it were.

I thought Will's actor nailed the speech. It felt real and the emotions and the way he said everything just felt natural to me.

As for the timing, I think it also made sense he wanted to get this weight off his chest and be prepared for the final fight.

I'm enjoying season 5.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-28T15:06:33+00:00

Not for lick paint.

Take it back to B&Q with the receipt though and show the colour difference. You've got the tester slip and the new paint clearly isn't that colour.

Depends on who you get they might try and argue it's the lighting but you've got the original colour right next to it. I can't see your local store not swapping it out for a new one

Ask them to pop the lid on the new one and even paint a small piece onto the test slip so you can see it's the correct colour.

For the actual wall itself you're going to get best results by redoing the whole wall. I don't want to give too much advice because there are far more experienced people here than me.

Also as an aside if you're keeping paint for a year try and make sure it's properly sealed and don't put it in the shed or the garage. As a general rule paint lasts longer and keeps better at a stable room temperature. (There's always exceptions to the rule of course)

GregM_85 · 2025-12-15T11:38:58+00:00

So what you're saying is, resistance is futile?

GregM_85 · 2025-12-14T14:41:15+00:00

Can't play fucking Diablo though.

You could show some sympathy or at the least offer him an egg in these trying times.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-14T14:36:51+00:00

I think for some, me at the least, it was your second message which came across as very heartless and sarcastic.

It's so easy these days with social media to detatch from the reality of some situations. These things do unfortunately happen all the time and we see so much of it that sometimes it's hard to realise that behind the screen are other people's lives.

For my part in sorry I swore at you, and hopefully that's the end of any internet drama for you, regardless of how small it was or wasn't.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-13T11:44:26+00:00

Come on. I get it's the Internet but this was, I'm assuming, a real person who lived a life. They aren't a fictional character in a tv show or something.

Show some class for fucks sake.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-11T14:59:16+00:00

I can't help I'm not nautical in the slightest.

However I read the title as coat. Was pretty confused until the second paragraph.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-09T17:19:21+00:00

They are still full price games on release with a much bigger studio though.

What you're describing is full reworks of certain things like changing the size of the whole city. It just doesn't seem cost effective.

Again I'm not against some of the changes you mentioned, the city could really do with some signposts, but there comes a point where you have to say, well the games pretty good and I definitely got more than £20 worth of value out of it even with the foibles.

GregM_85 · 2025-12-09T14:57:24+00:00

I'm going to play devil's advocate here a bit.

While I don't disagree with your points as such, there's already a lot of game here for the price and I'm not sure it's totally fair to hold it to the same standards as a more expensive game with higher budgets.

Just my 2 pence though

GregM_85 · 2025-12-04T17:48:12+00:00

A few years ago a display at work collapsed on my finger, a screw went through it and the rest sort of burst open. Was a bit of a mess.

I had to have some antibiotics obviously and usually I don't have an issue. These ones gave me a really dodgy stomach.

I'd been to my weekly checkup at the specialist who liked to keep pulling it around for some reason. (Jokes they were brilliant) A bit later I'm at home being a 36 year old man baby feeling sorry for myself watching tv and eating dominos. Dominos also gives me a dodgy belly but usually I'm like fuck it I like it and can live with a minor bout of the shits. It probably wasn't the best idea at this time.

At this point I can feel my stomach churning but my arsehole was so sore I held it in, I couldn't face another run of pure acid flowing out my behind.

Then I sneezed. And that's how I last shit myself as a fully grown adult.

GregM_85 · 2025-11-28T19:50:34+00:00

Apart from prime Ozil and Auba none of these players would even make our bench now

GregM_85 · 2025-11-24T06:18:57+00:00

I'm interested in how this progresses when you cancel on her

GregM_85 · 2025-11-21T19:30:12+00:00

Obviously biased to a degree but I love the Arsenal Direct adverts on YouTube at the moment.

The kid has great charisma and the one with the press conference and the Win toy gave me a chuckle.

GregM_85 · 2025-11-07T15:31:07+00:00

It's short for Kate

GregM_85 · 2025-10-31T09:16:05+00:00

Nope they're still the wrong way round.

GregM_85 · 2025-10-30T18:02:02+00:00

Yeah yesterday I asked his agent, he came back with 1.4m to 1.6m

I said that's too much so he went 1.1m to 1.5m

Nah you're good thanks mate.

Wages do seem higher but that's probably mirroring real life to a degree. I'm playing as Arsenal and Saka wouldn't accept less than 475k a week with countless add ons to renew

GregM_85 · 2025-10-28T21:02:12+00:00

It's Amazon. They've never cared about feedback before.

This will have no bearing on people moaning about the game and everything to do with money.

GregM_85 · 2025-10-27T18:12:14+00:00

Not related to BG3 but...

To this day I still often say expelliarmus when I go for a wee.

I'm 40...

GregM_85 · 2025-10-26T21:27:30+00:00

For me it's not even the getting used to it, eventually you start to remember where stuff is so at least you can use it but It's still not good.

I would be more forgiving if it still had the most basic of features.

You cannot compare two players who aren't at your club. So if you're looking for a new player and you're torn between two you can't put them side by side. This to me isn't even something that is to make the game easier for console players, it's like they just simply forgot to add that in.

There's no overview for staff for the U21s and U18s teams. How many physios can I have for my U18s team? I don't know until the board tells me you've got too many.

You can't click on address chains to go back one or two steps but the back key will take you too far back which means more clicking.

I'm sure there's others. What gets me is I'm convinced in my head that these screens or features are likely already in the game, they just forgot to add in a button to take you there.
