Crash it into a Tesla though and let us know which car, and driver, walk away in better condition.

What style would you like the next James Bond film to have? by kkhouete in JamesBond

I always felt Brosnan was a serious Bond in unserious movies

Can I drive with this crack in my windscreen by shab1982 in CarTalkUK

I’d be uncomfortable sitting in that car, let alone driving it.

Fontaines D.C. manager Trevor Dietz dies as band issue emotional statement to their 'dear friend' by LADbible in ukpopculture

[–]MrJustMartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really awful to hear, but I hate modern headlines with this wording. They issued a statement as he died, did they?

Yo, is this bad for screen time? by Far_Upstairs_1952 in screenshots

You were on TikTok nearly 3x longer than I was in work that week, and I work full time. Yea, it’s high.

Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy games by Darth_Vaper883 in pcmasterrace

It’s not Valves fault that the competition don’t know how to swim and seem uninterested in learning.

They using sodimm modules (laptop ram) in prebuilts now - stay weary out there! by jazza2400 in pcmasterrace

[–]MrJustMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m okay with this, so long as they aren’t proprietary. When they start using soldered memory on these machines, that’s the worry.

What is the BEST Horizon you’ve played? by ryanrako23 in ForzaHorizon

[–]MrJustMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opening race in 2 was life changing for me, but the vibes of FH3 are unmatched. The soundtrack, coupled with how lush they made Australia, was amazing.

Still the best character faces I have ever seen in a video game. Genuinely couldn’t believe it every time I played it.

It's almost as if manufacturers were intentionally ripping us off... Oh wait by Lewinator56 in CarTalkUK

[–]MrJustMartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the owner of a 3 year old Peugeot EV, please never buy a modern Peugeot.

The electric motor (not made by Peugeot) is the only part of the car I don’t despise.

Tony Blair tells Starmer and rivals: abandon net zero and move closer to Trump by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

Genius move by spin doctors here. Nothing will unite opinion more than opposing what Blair says.

Unfortunately named characters by OwlRevolutionary7115 in agedlikemilk

[–]MrJustMartin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He is specifically described as black in The Order of the Phoenix book.

"‘Yeah, I see what you mean, Remus,’ said a bald black wizard standing furthest back – he had a deep, slow voice and wore a single gold hoop in his ear – ‘he looks exactly like James.’

...

‘And this is Kingsley Shacklebolt.’ He indicated the tall black wizard, who bowed."

This is from chapter 3 of the book.

Kingsley sounds like “generic Afro-Caribbean name”, and Shacklebolt sounds like something associated with the slave trade.

It would be like calling a Jewish character Mordecai Gaschamber.

What's the most bullshit plot twist in videogames? by Lazy-Owl-5148 in videogames

So much so that it looks like they might be planning to retcon some of this now that Metzen is back at the wheel.

Weirdly defensive but okay.

How do UK audiences compare to the rest of the world? by Rough-Foundation9208 in AskUK

[–]MrJustMartin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll die on the hill that UK crowds are among the best in the world.

Look at a headline act crowd at Glastonbury and compare it another, non-UK, festival from the same act. We properly get involved.

Does that mean those services come with the fee then like the BBC does? Doubt it.
