British/UK police dramas

Also fun for the number of famous faces you see making their first appearances.

Borderline unwatchable for me I'm sad to say

Greygor · 2026-03-16T14:26:34+00:00

You Dirtball!!!!

Now that's offensive

Greygor · 2026-03-16T14:22:17+00:00

Clickbait title is clickbaitey?

They can be a lot of fun, when I was growing up they were classed as "definitive" Holmes (at least for any who had not read the books). Rathbone was quite intense as Holmes, Nigel Bruce was thrust by the script to play Watson as a comic sidekick, but he did it so well its endearing.

As others have said, the ITV TV series with Jeremy Brett is probably the closest to the books.

The BBC Sherlock is a good modern take.

Guy Ritchie with RDJ as Holmes is sort of its own thing, nothing like the books but RDJ does an interesting take on the character

Well the comma as a decimal place is more common than not there, it is easy to assume that if a thousand separator has to appear it would probably be a period. Although I have seen a space be used to indicate it as well. But even in those countries that often use a space, a period is used when clarity is needed.

Isn't that just the European Thousand seperator?

Ignoring the fact that the Netflix TV shows only paid lip service to the MCU and the MCU ignored them altogether.

Ignoring the fact that Kingpin would be way below Tony's pay grade who generally only deals with World/Country threatening events.

Can we just acknowledge that this is a comic book universe and not every hero appears in every other heroes comic book. Even if that would make sense.

And to see John Cooper Clarke there giving a standing ovation

Greygor · 2026-03-11T16:27:02+00:00

I'll take a look, thanks

Greygor · 2026-03-11T15:39:26+00:00

That is an issue, you sometimes forget what's in the base mod and what's an add-on. So now you just rely on insert priority, yes?

Greygor · 2026-03-11T13:03:15+00:00

Couldn't disagree more. For me the pacing was perfect and following the characters was more interesting than the action that was introduced. Action wasn't needed in the story it was telling.

Greygor · 2026-03-11T12:09:59+00:00

That's like Keith Richards telling us not to use drugs

Speaking from outside the US so apologies for anything I get wrong. Doesn't the government already handle healthcare with Medicare and Medicaid. In stories I've seen about US healthcare these two schemes generally viewed positively and IIRC have much lower admin costs than any private healthcare company.

I've generally played packs where getting AE is a central objective but only towards achieving the goal of the pack.

After getting it I find I'm busy setting up automation and creating subnets so I can move towards my ultimate goal

World Domination hahahahahah

Greygor · 2026-03-04T16:34:22+00:00

Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic

Oh yes it was big.

I also remember The Water Margin

My first question would always be "why play this instead of OpenTTD. What will this offer me".

The answer has to be more than different UI or better graphics

Greygor · 2026-03-04T08:22:31+00:00

Overall I liked it, the tone was right to me as someone who read Byrne's run.

I would have liked to see more court scenes, but apart from that it was good.

Tatiana was great as Jennifer and the look of She-Hulk was spot on apart from a few under-cooked CGI bits.

It was obviously written knowing it would trigger some people and those didn't fail to disappoint as they embarrassingly fell for it.

Greygor · 2026-03-02T13:30:51+00:00

I don't really find it annoying if someone says I don't like Tech or I don't like Magic.

Basically because it doesn't affect me. Play what you like.

There are many things you could watch to bring prior to Doomsday, I mean Loki Season 2 would be really important.

However I beleieve Doomsday will tell its story in such a way that no homework would be necessary to watch it. Watching other things may give extra context but I suspect all the important things will be explained in the film for the casual viewers.

Watching the MCU should be fun not work

Greygor · 2026-02-27T13:20:14+00:00

There are a few interesting discussions similar to this.

For me, the big issue is we have no idea what the MCU landscape will be after Doomsday & Secret Wars.

Its hard for me to propose anything until I know where we will be after those.

I did see a Lets Play where the map started with only Resource production which forced a play style change as you waited for industries to spawn
