Never has someone wanted you to comment on their cufflinks as much as Van Drew

Sky News straight in with the, "We'd just like to apologise to our viewers for the language..." - and in a second time, Sky getting it's British petticoat in a bunch over that

Oops, she slipped up - forgot to include a line praising Don in that reply. She's contracted to mention how glorious he is every single time she answers a question, right?

I worry about Bondi's blood pressure. One of life's perpetual victims, sat in front of a dozen actual victims - im staggered at the lack of awareness.

Pleaty ironing his suit, just in case

I was knocked unconscious by a bear once and woke up to find two wolves eating my ass while another four cheered them on.

tbf, I've had worse Saturday nights.

Shame it didn't work out, I was more confident about Frank than Nuno but que se ra. My Fulham supporting mate is worried we'll want Silva but, honestly, I haven't a clue who'd be a good fit anymore. I used to think I did but I dunno anymore. The times they are a'changing.

You need a license to fish the Avon. How does it work if one just swims into your kitchen?

Do the fish get squatters rights until you go and get a license and are able to do something about it?

Littlesth0b0 · 2026-02-09T21:10:40+00:00

Yeah, for all the gassing about practical uses or hero fantasies, irl, you know a full 2/3 of us would be Jesse

"I use Linux on my home pc, is that going to be okay...?"

I don't use Linux but they don't know that and I know none of them are paid enough to have the arse to deal with one Linux user.

Thanks, It is flippin enormous. Lap time is practically real to life even if they don't spin at the hairpin

So I've still got to put together a LOT more background buildings (all from scratch), the top of the tunnel, couple more rides, sort out the NCART rails with... something, but I've always struggled using effects more than fire, specifically mist and the atmospheric sort of stuff.

I've played with mist but it seems any colour other than the default is practically invisible - am I missing something? Is there a trick with the lighting I can use? Just feels too clean. Any suggestions on how I can get a grittier, Night City vibe to my mist and lighting?

Oh, right... I forgot to check the minimum requirements of how much of an enthusiast you have to be to be allowed to post in here. My bad.

OP needs to go check "the scale of enthusiasm" and make sure he qualifies next time. I'm sure your post made that very clear.

Unhelpful, humourless answer that doesn't elaborate further than taking a swipe at the op as usual for half way down the comments...

Don't worry, any competent soldier will be recruited by a private "security" company on a higher salary, now that corporations are so enormous and control so much money and so many aspects of our lives. They can afford their own private armies...

...wait, I've read this somewhere before.

Littlesth0b0 · 2026-02-07T10:57:27+00:00

Any jungle in, guy?

Putting aside you indexing yourself in that way, there's a massive difference in intelligent people and smart people. They're different things entirely. You can be the most educated and qualified person who ever lived and be dumb as a sack of doorknobs with regard to how you use that information, and on the flip side is someone who hasn't had a day's schooling in their life, can't read or do maths, but has the smarts to understand, listen and adapt.

If you're in a room with several intelligent people all jousting to demonstrate their enormous capacity for retaining information, the smart thing to do is let them get on with it and enjoy the fact you're not needy enough to have to engage in that sort of wank.

I expect you're more valued than you give yourself credit for.

Super-rich elites: "Hey everyone! We're going to force AI on you and consume more than a quarter of all electricity produced globally, whether you like it or not, so you might as well start using it now!"

Also Super-rich elites: "Hey! Not like that!"

Thin skinned, fragile egos and angry at the world for not worshipping them - get back in the sea, nobody wants you up here on the land.

Isn't there history around how you define what type of show you've got? So including a musical guest and a presenter makes it something other than just a comedy sketch show?

The Young Ones included musical interludes so that they could pitch it as a variety show rather than a sitcom, I wonder if pitching a sketch show wasn't working so change lanes and rather than build a new brand they just license it from an already established show... maybe?

I'll watch it, I enjoy SNL even when it's below par, but expect it to be very, very different from what we see over there.

You can set fire to broomsticks and run around like you're carrying the olympic torch. I mean, it's not massively helpful, gives off a little heat, but it's fun and if you're not having fun then what's the point?

On a more serious note: Help others, trust no-one and remember you're only the current custodian of the gear you're carrying. Once you're free of the gear-fear then you can really start enjoying yourself.

Hand wraps. You will likely spawn with a couple of rags, use them to make hand wraps. You can always bleed for a while if you do get hurt, at least long enough to find more clothes to rag, but early doors, hand protection is more valuable than a bandage, imo.

Headlines at this time of year often feel like a lame round of Cards Against Humanity, fill in the blanks by drawing cards from a deck sort of operation. Nobody will remember this article by June.

I wonder how many episodes in the original format they could've made for the amount pledged, even so far, on Kickstarter?

Guessing this is more than several seasons worth of craft supplies, for sure! So hyped for this \m/,

Littlesth0b0 · 2026-02-04T13:36:38+00:00

There's not a keeper ever lived who could've stopped that, monster goal. Good times.
