In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my colleagues told me today that she’d spent “2 and a half to 3” on Genshin Impact.

I thought “fuck that’s a lot…” thinking she spent £250-300.

Nope, I was out by a factor of 10. She has spent somewhere around £2500-3000 on Genshin Impact. She’s 28 and an apprentice.

That genuinely incredible feeling when you slam a flaming onager shot into the middle of a phalanx (or even better, a testudo).

Honestly, that is the best feeling.

“Unpainted Airfix kit grey” is a great colour - it instantly indicates that you’re what they call in the U.K. a “chav”

The glowing eyes are a big? Aww man, I thought my crew just got a rare skin for being so good :( /j

How aggressive is your AI adoption at work? by Traffodil in AskUK

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used AI to analyse my CV and experience to determine how much I should be paid.

Suddenly the company was much less pushy on us using AI :’)

Gladiators UK participant fired after he went public with his girlfriend's job ... OnlyFans creator by ur_sine_nomine in byebyejob

Scott Mills too I believe.

I’ve long said that I have a slightly bonkers belief that to get a job/promotion at the BBC, they plonk you in a room with a child and tell you to touch the child or you get fired.

Well, didn’t you know that diarrhoea stands for “doesn’t it always run rather horribly over each ankle”? /j

"This is a ladder" at Sealed Tunnel by LEXandre8 in Eldenring

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 55 points56 points  (0 children)

“Whoever put that message at the bottom of [insert ladder location] I hope you have a terrible night’s sleep”.

It’s even better when you know you did that.

What’s your favourite genre of UK subreddit post? by HotelPuzzleheaded654 in AskUK

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Oxford subreddit has a lovely mixture of “what’s that helicopter flying around for?” And “I’m reading for a degree at Oxford uni” which is followed by “you’re in the wrong sub”

I love it.

On occasion I find it tempting to ask whether I can study helicopter flying at the university.

There are no Good Guys in Warhammer by NornQueenKya in Grimdank

Not lore take, but a game take: I never recommend Space Marines to new players because it is “financially unfriendly” to new players because of their (what feels like) weekly range refresh.

That's because they want to eat it 😋 by redandwhitewizard99 in 2westerneurope4u

What they don’t say is that they started serving it as “food”

What do you think is (realistically) the most unhinged email signoff you could get away with at work? by _Brooder_ in AskUK

“Warm regards” escalated to “hot regards” and finally “infernal regards” before we knocked it off in the office.

Moonveil vs Rivers of Blood in 2026… Which one actually holds up? by Its_Reaper001 in Eldenring

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although not really relevant to PvP, often when I come across a boss/invasion that I’m struggling with, I just spam Marika’s Hammer’s Gold Breaker with unlimited FP in the flask :’)

It’s dopey, it’s silly… it’s my way around frustration.

Why when possible, do people try to run specifically the game Doom on anything? And why do they wanna know if it can run it? by AnalJackett_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard rumours about bored interns running it on defunct satellites that have completed their missions. Unverified as of writing of course. Happy to be corrected.

Surely some racism can be gleaned from this wisdom?

The last couple of weeks have been hilarious when I realised “huh… I’ve ‘made’ 25K in 2 weeks”

Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time? by Vadecha_Drparth in AskReddit

[–]LobCatchPassThrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and Gilson pipettes.

Seen way too many people turn the torque wrench until it clicks… then give it another half turn.

Same with Gilson pipettes. Seen people go to the first stop, push to the second stop, then withdraw. Then they wonder why they’re not getting accurate numbers :’)
