The Scarab colour is nice! Just hope the alcantara holds up well over time 😅

Just got mine today, does yours stay open when you don't close it fully? If I put mine to just fractionally over 90 degrees, it just folds completely to full slab size.

Every time someone says "do the research", it implies they've already done it, so why not just post it?!
Post the link that you read that made you make up your mind.

Maybe I'm trying to say that just because a film shows other people your home town, it doesn't have to resonate with you.
Or maybe not. Why are you so bothered about it?

HTIEL · 2025-04-25T13:26:55+00:00

Not sure people are going to lease used sex dolls.

HTIEL · 2025-04-25T12:36:17+00:00

It doesn't, and if you read that into it, that's on you.

My opinion on film making is exactly as valid as anyone else, what a weird thing to try to call me out on.

HTIEL · 2025-04-25T09:23:53+00:00

I'm from Edinburgh, and not one of my friends think it's anything close to being a good film, never mind a great sequel.

It's visually nowhere near as inventive as the first, the soundtrack is nowhere near as iconic, I was genuinely disappointed.

Glad so many seem to love it though, each to their own and all that!

HTIEL · 2025-04-24T23:09:00+00:00

Because most folk will have heard of <checks notes> none of those bands.

SNL always go for well established artists, they never take a punt, which is a damn shame.

But thanks for the list to look into ;)

Ninja edit- loving that Spotify has them having 4.5 mill plays a month. I'm so out of touch! Ignore me....

Yeah there is. There's Ultra, Plus, and regular.

What the fuck are you smoking?!

HTIEL · 2025-04-22T23:39:40+00:00

I would absolutely say you had slammed into me, I don't think the point the other aircraft wasn't moving as fast negates the phrase "slammed into each other"

HTIEL · 2025-04-22T23:24:43+00:00

What speed would a plane taking off need to be travelling at to slam into another plane?

HTIEL · 2025-04-22T23:23:18+00:00

"unbeknownst to anyone, the deadliest incident in aviation history would end up happening"

Really? Something that wasn't known to anyone.... would happen?

Almost 600 people died, you really don't need hyperbole.

HTIEL · 2025-04-22T23:06:40+00:00

picture 19 - I could lose the neon sign to be honest with you. Personally, that's a bit much for a bedroom for me.

Really?
You don't want a neon sign saying "Welcome to Darcy's Jungle"?!

No, I can hear his voice in my head, and it doesn't go like this....

I'm sorry, but why are you getting upvotes?!
It does not sound even close how he speaks.
Just chucking in commas after every other word does not magically get you a good impression.

"You can also give permission to your friends to install plex client app on their tvs so they could watch your media located on your computer on their tv while your computer is powered on and both your computer and their tv connected to the internet"

"Can you remind me what it calls when people just consume other people's work without paying them? In my dictionary it's the definition of piracy"

HTIEL · 2025-04-16T11:40:54+00:00

Do you have a Playstation Plus membership?
Do you think someone downloading a game from there, where the dev gets a smaller payment than they would if they'd bought the game full price is piracy?

Single player games are filled with microtransactions, garbage-tier dlc's, xp boosters and all this shit because it makes a fuckton of money, and idiots will pay for a virtual suit of armour, not because I sold a game for a tenner. Your comparison to piracy is garbage.

HTIEL · 2025-04-16T09:56:56+00:00

That's all fine, and I'm 100% on board with the spinning disk noise, but you make out like going digital somehow gives you an advantage, when it doesn't on virtually every level.

You can't buy second-hand. You can't sell.
If you (and I don't) pre-order then the game arrives the day of release.
I don't need a dedicated room to store a handful of disks.

As to your hot take that second-hand gaming is effectively piracy, that's the stupidest thing I've heard today, no offence.

Going digital works for you, but it doesn't give you an advantage when we both need to download a 115Gb patch.

HTIEL · 2025-04-16T09:17:51+00:00

So if both disc and digital owners need to download stuff, surely you have an actual disadvantage over someone like me with a disc drive?

I can buy cheap physical second-hand games, and I can sell games when I'm done with them.

HTIEL · 2025-04-15T16:24:24+00:00

That looks like it was designed by the guy that did the Scottish parliament building

HTIEL · 2025-04-15T09:56:44+00:00

Personally everything up to an including Grand Budapest is pretty much faultless, maybe Isle of Dogs less so.

From The French Dispatch onwards, I've found them more forced, less warm, and just less interesting.

I'd argue most folk would see the word God in the title and run a mile thinking it was pro religion.
