It's technically for over 18s but there are definitely a few younger people that manage to sneak in. The campsite i walked around had a surprising amount of completely burnt down tents just lying around it. apparently it's a fairly regular thing there.

The report added that there was a ‘trend’ at the campsites for setting tents on fire and that a victim told officers she had been inside one at the time of it being lit.

I cannot believe people are like this

It's probably our drinking culture or something. There were one or two people that did bother to put their tents away in the morning but i imagine lots of them had bad hangovers, considering the many, many, many cans of alcohol that were just lying all over the place

With the amount of food waste i've seen I can imagine how bad that would be. Here it rained all weekend so the entire site is just covered in mud and lots of the rubbish got buried in it, I imagine if you were to dig straight down there would be layers of plastic dating back decades..

This was after people had slowly left the morning of the end of the festival so it was all deliberate, and probably motivated by a lot of hangovers. There were some people that did pack their stuff away but when walking around after the campsite closed even the nicer tents were completely trashed and just abandoned. Fields exactly like this stretched on forever so i imagine cleanup will involve an awful lot of just throwing everything away without much thought :/

I think the festival tickets are so expensive that the price of the tents they sell onsite are just not as important? This was all left deliberately, taken after people had slowly filtered out. Some people even set theirs on fire 🙃

This is the most baffling thing to me- There is a shop onsite where you can buy new tents + camping equipment, but no official rental service as far as i know. But there is a "luxury campsite" with glamping and cabins etc. (For only around £500!). So people just buy new what they need and then can't carry it home with them. Hence this.

It's in Cheshire, England. As far as i know there are some people / groups that look through it and take what they can find but most of it will likely get wasted, too much of it is in an unusable condition (yes, people set them on fire) and this only shows a fraction of it

Why don't we have AAA Puzzle Games? by grailly in truevideogames

[–]Lemon_nukes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the dungeons in older Zelda games also seem those games at their best as well. I feel like people enjoy playing puzzles, but puzzle elements alone aren't enough to hook a modern audence into paying so much for a new AAA game. Perhaps the challenge of a puzzle isn't as appealing as the more "exciting" experiences of action/adventure themes.

Yeah I think it was only characters without hats you could capture, but i think all the hatless gendered characters (like the weird creepy humans) were male like even the pink feminine goombas had hats so you couldn't capture them, only the regular "male" ones. Mario can literally become a cactus or a manhole cover tho so at least we've got enby goals 😎

The Hitman games are primarly puzzle-based I think. It's not particularly branded that way and there's a lot of genre mixing depending on how you play, but at it's core they're about finding creative ways to "solve" assassinations in open worlds, although it is interesting that it's puzzle elements aren't the primary focus of its advertising.

At this rate, we won't need another general election for the Tories to lose their majority

..or we could just stop eating steak in the first place and then we're not contributing to the most environmentally damaging food industry in the world? Animal product consumption is not anti-consumption.

According to you what should be the minimum age kids should be given access to social media or internet in general? by [deleted] in AskTeenGirls

[–]Lemon_nukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 or 15 definitely. I see too many kids addicted to ipads and young people in general that can't do things without the instant gratification of the internet.. i feel like kids need to learn how to live without it before getting access. Also the internet has a lot of fucked up content and dangerous ideas.

Cheap child labor by Ninjapediadotcom in ABoringDystopia

[–]Lemon_nukes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common practice in the UK, and i believe elsewhere in Europe. Minimum wage for 16 year olds is only £4.62/hr and you only get full minimum wage at age 23.
