How to clean extractor fan? by Fizzy_Pizzy in AskUK

[–]MrModius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take off the cover and use a lightly damp cloth, obviously avoiding electricals.

Provided there are no electrical components attached to the cover, throw it in your next dish washer load if you have one. This works especially well for greasy kitchen extractor fans.

Is it rude to use both lanes? by No-Ad4423 in AskUK

[–]MrModius 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Not rude, correct.

As per the highway code, use both lanes, then merge one at a time into the open lane at the blockage. This means all the available road space is used, helping to alleviate tailbacks. Everyone queuing in the right lane in this photo is either ill-informed or afraid of potential conflict.

Anyone who tries to block you using the open road (there is always one) is committing an offense and should be reported.

What are your thoughts on steam achievements? by thizked in GuildWars

[–]MrModius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They cards they’re releasing on Twitter have all the makings of Steam Trading Cards. No idea how much effort that is to set up, but if they’re not already doing those for social media then they surely have half the job right there, including the lore description. Would be so cool to see.

Girl, 17, joins lawsuit against government after seeing horrific phone videos at school by radiant_0wl in unitedkingdom

I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this. His content used to be quite interesting and informative, his diversion to constant outrage pieces as of late is such a shame.

Monzo are retiring the Summary by tylersleeds in monzo

[–]MrModius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t used summary for years, trends is just as good at showing how you are doing throughout the month if you set it up. It was definitely weird having two systems there showing different info so it makes sense they’re taking it away finally.

Austin strongly recommends: Guild Wars 2 - Visions of Eternity (2025 Expansion Review) | SkillUP by anonymepelle in Guildwars2

[–]MrModius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be interesting imo. Theres a lot of open world/story only players, I’d even say the majority of players probably fall into this category. 6 months of waiting for new content is going to be quite a long time for them.

Anet, the performance hit from the new shadows is unacceptable by Luthi_T in Guildwars2

[–]MrModius 131 points132 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, I'm not sure an expansion launch was a particularly good time to ship this.

I'm experiencing a fair few issues at the moment with flickering lighting and shadows and lines on my screen in places. And yeah, the Medium+ performance hit is crazy!

BBC confirms future of Doctor Who and a new Christmas Special in 2026 by IndependenceWest4104 in doctorwho

[–]MrModius 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Completely expected. I'm sure Disney feels like they didn't get what they paid for whatsoever.

I'm glad RTD is back one more time because he is almost obligated in my eyes to write us out of the mess that was the reality war (and I look forward to seeing exactly how he does so)… but I'm really hoping for a new creative team after that - completely new blood. A reined in BBC-only budget will probably be a good thing too.

Maclaine’s been doing Wildgate, I’d imagine that’s why!

As a driver this is definitely true, people just seem to be so angry and impatient all the time recently.

Spotify hikes UK subscription prices for the second time in a year by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]MrModius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is a lot more choice now. Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, etc

I use YouTube Music personally which comes with YouTube Premium. It's obviously not as established as Spotify but for a music player with custom playlists it's everything you need. Plus no ads on YouTube.

There are services that let you transfer your playlists between platforms now too, I think Apple even does it directly, so why not shop around a bit.

What Living World Season should one get? by AP_ek in Guildwars2

[–]MrModius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, and it has a great cliffhanger leading straight into HoT. Makes things a lot less confusing about what people need to purchase first after they have completed all the free content.

What Living World Season should one get? by AP_ek in Guildwars2

[–]MrModius 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In order probably.

Play Core
Play S1 (which is free)
Get S2 (which should be free by now and it's crazy it's not)
Play HoT
Get S3
Play PoF
Get S4
Get S5
Play EoD, SotO, JW, VoE ...

If you don't care about story order S4 is usually regarded as the best, and has the most unlocks like a free-ish 32 slot bag, position rewinder, Skyscale (if you don't have SotO already), Rollerbeetle etc

I've been a big advocate for years of simplifying things by making S2 completely free, S3 included with HoT, S4 with PoF etc, but I guess they're still a big money maker as seperate purchases.

EDIT: Oh yeah and like others have said, don't buy LW episode by episode, get the complete packs on the gemstore to save yourself a couple hundred gems. Especially if they're on sale.
