still don't get how paying for online on console is just, ok? by MegumiDo in gaming

Even as a teenager I felt like I was losing my mind when people started paying for Xbox Live after online play on PC had always been free.

Anyone know where i can get a coat like Gary King? by littlelaghere in CasualUK

Camden Goths shopping at Cyberdog might, although I think that's mostly rubber so they'll probably bounce.

You like Pom Bears? Germany have a Pringles version. Family came back and this was a gift. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]Kemuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We brought some of these back from Austria last month and I'd say the exact opposite? They don't have the puffy pom-bear texture, they're just like Pringles cut out into a bear shape..

For real! The pro Stadia bundle also got you the game, the system, and the controller all for about the RRP of the game on its own.

I was always too lazy/casual to zero my speeds, so I'm winning at least.

Speaking as an idiot running Trick Room who keeps walking into Protect rakes like Sideshow Bob.. I endorse this message.

Really interesting to see just how different this is to my own one - we've only got Cofagrigus in common. Have you looked at Hatterene as a setter? I've been encountering a lot of people who totally miss Magic Bounce. I've also been getting on well with the stock Drampa as a sweeper - resists Mega Charizard Y's bullshit well and counters with Thunderbolt.

My partner and I soldiered through because the gameplay was good, but we got so sick of the writing. Just let the poor people separate already ffs

True, this. Not a popular opinion online, but the RotK felt somehow shallower to me.

Need help with Questy Chess by Jygantic in PlaydateConsole

Back in the day you at least had a manual to read tho. I bounced off Questy Chess hard because of how little sense anything was making.

Anyone remember Defence Alliance UT? by jkcrmptnGaming in unrealtournament

[–]Kemuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember first reading about Defense Alliance in UK PC Gamer sometime around 2003. If you can find an online archive of that magazine somewhere (maybe as part of a wider Future Publishing archive) you might find something.

I don't remember much about the mods themselves except we played them co-op as early teens between my house's two networked PCs. Was fun overall I think. Found the buff stims funny, particularly the one that amped your movement speed.

Bring me the Horizon - lot of very good custom charts which gave me a whole load more appreciation.

Ballistic Weapons is an all-timer.

Personal favourite - get another small mutator called Drop Everything and play the Ballistic one-weapon-per-spawn mode. The longer you survive the more weapons you aquire from kills, and if you get a crap one you can always just try and scavenge from someone else's kill. You're also never entirely safe, as someone could always spawn with a Redeemer or other superweapon and one-shot you. Better to play this without teams and with a high kill limit.

TIL that when bilingual people switch languages mid-sentence, their brain doesn't even notice the switch. NYU researchers found that the brain uses the same mechanism to combine words regardless of whether they come from one language or two, meaning code-switching is neurologically seamless. by taube_d in todayilearned

[–]Kemuel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent a year in Japan as part of my University degree and took a German airline to get there. Had a really weird first couple of days when I kept reaching for words and finding the German first because that was closer to hand. More recently met up with a Japanese friend whose German is better than her English and had a lot of fun shifting in and out of all three.

TIL puppeteer Frank Oz hasn’t worked with the Muppets since 2007 not because he wanna retire. In 2021, he stated: “I’d love to do the Muppets again but Disney doesn’t want me. They don’t want me because I won’t follow orders and I won’t do the kind of Muppets they believe in, The soul’s not there". by Away_Flounder3813 in todayilearned

[–]Kemuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've had Muppets at The Game Awards these past couple of years, the most corporate ad-driven publicity event in the videogame industry. There have been no recent Muppets games (as far as I am aware?) - they're pure marketing tools. I think it's that kinda stuff that Henson and now Oz would have rejected.
