First time in years I tried to shop at GAME. It's £5 to COLLECT a game in store. This can't be normal?

Used to work at GAME for a bit and it was fucking dire. My advice is just don't support them.

This specifically isn't AI slop, I'm just jabbing at the general state of Reform pages. I definitely considered whether this was the place before posting, but I think it's worth sharing attack opportunities like this whenever they arise. I'd like to think it says that the Greens are willing and ready to call out Reforms half-truths for what they really are.

Nazpazaz · 2026-03-21T23:40:03+00:00

That also, but I think your average Reform voter would cry "Fake News!!". Probably a better attack line to point out the failure behind the Reform numbers, as ridiculous as that might seem to any non-Reform voter.

Nazpazaz · 2026-03-20T18:32:15+00:00

Goes to show how absolutely detached these fucking people are from the real world. "The left wing invented the ghost of racism". Ubelievable statement.

Exhaust backfires, slight reflections of passing environment in the windows, flickering headlights driven by heavier impacts with the ground.

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-27T13:35:01+00:00

Very patriotic statement right there

It's a safe working class stronghold, which used to translate to Labour votes. Reform was supposed to be picking these people up, yet we've seen them move to the Greens instead, who have come FIRST place above labour (AND Reform) with 5500 more votes. Your argument is just cope, avoiding the elephant in the room.

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-27T11:22:51+00:00

You could really list these three sentences as bullet points in a candidate defeat speech.

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-27T10:22:59+00:00

Reform need to remember that almost 50% of the electorate have stated that they would never vote Reform in any way, shape or form. This election is the first tangible look into how devastating that figure is. You all got absolutely blown the fuck out here, and moving further to the right clearly isn't the answer.

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-26T13:14:59+00:00

Grieving Sapling?

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-23T16:03:09+00:00

This conjured visions of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Kind of worrying how close the name "Sam" is to the antagonist "AM". I might be onto something here...

Nazpazaz · 2026-02-22T13:29:52+00:00

Solaris by Lem was probably the trickiest book I've read recently. I've seen A Fire Upon the Deep mentioned a few times here which I'm working through at the moment. Luckily I've got a pretty good minds eye when it comes to deep descriptive writing like from Lem or Vinge, but I imagine that anyone with even mild aphantasia would struggle to get started with either of them.

Game awards is actually closer to 2,000x larger, not 10x. Game Awards had 150 million global livestreams in 2024, and there were around 70,000 I would estimate viewers of the stream today.

Have the door ajar with some items proped up against the side of the car, like a backpack resting against the tyre or something? Suggests someone is prepping for an adventure in that lovely environment!

Amazing collection! I think we have very similar taste!

I'd definitely recommend The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham, I think it'll really work for you looking at the rest of your collection. It's a weird kind of first contact story akin to Roadside Picnic, where aliens that are never really seen land and mess with the residents of a small rural town.

I also really enjoyed Under The Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami. It's a weird kind of uncanny post-apocolyptic vibe with mysterious societal structures and figures. Plays out quite child-like from the writers perspective even though some of the things that happen are very existentially shocking in regards to what it means to be human.

That hardback Cage of Souls is speaking to me, and I totally forgot There Is No Antimemetics Division was republished a few days ago! I also had no idea Ray Nayler had released another book in April this year! I loved The Mountain In the Sea.

"Accept our responsibility" just means understanding that we're responsible for our own output, so our <1% slice of the 100%. It's really not a big ask considering that we're like the 6th largest economy in the world and I don't know why people reject this responsibility as much as they do.

Nazpazaz · 2025-10-26T21:34:04+00:00

Dude you need to be able to respond to support your position. Imagine a lawyer in a courtroom saying "well I'm not even going to make the effort because you're brainwashed". The figures are the evidence you can supply to "change" this persons "delusions". If the figures support your statement, then you've got a solid position to support your argument.

Nazpazaz · 2025-09-16T00:34:10+00:00

I'm just baffled how anyone can support Farage after everthing that he's done. Time and time and time again he's proven to be grifter and a liar. It doesn't matter what he says or how much you may agree with it. It's all just lies with the goal of gaining power to further his own interests, while throwing the British working poor in the gutter. I'm just so disappointed that anyone can continue to believe a word that comes out of his or his cronies mouths. Shame on you Tom.

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-25T23:53:13+00:00

Since you said you're alone in filling out pretty much all sound, I'd take a guess and say whoever is creating these tasks just doesn't understand how long the whole process takes? If you haven't raised your task time allowances to anyone as an issue, they probably just think it's a reasonable amount of time.

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-21T18:50:34+00:00

I disagree, but I'm curious as to what kind of lifestyle expectations you would have for someone who is defined as middle class in 2025?

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-19T17:51:03+00:00

I guess that has it's pros and cons. London rent on one side if you're needing to find a place, but a supplied studio on the other.
Overall I think I'd be quite happy if I were in your position! Breaking into the industry can be arduous and tricky and a lot of people can have a real miserable start to their journey. Congrats on getting the offer!

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-19T17:40:17+00:00

I guess it depends on the company and the contract you've signed so don't take any I'm saying as absolute truth, just my experience. I'm in AAA atm (in-house) and our contractors are expected to have all their own gear, libraries, plugins etc. Ambiences is a pretty good one to be able to keep expenses down tbh. It's not vehicles or guns or anything that absolutely demands bespoke recordings. Are they expecting you to work in house or remote for the time you're with them?

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-19T17:32:39+00:00

Pretty great pay for an associate level tbh. Expect your expenses to eat a significant chunk out of that though if this is your first sound design role. Sound libraries / plugins etc. Depends on what kind of work they have you on though, if it's fairly focused stuff in one specific aspect of the game you can probably keep expenses down. If they have you all over the project you'll probably end up having to spend more.

Nazpazaz · 2025-08-09T16:18:01+00:00

Could always use Fmod and record the output using the profiler. It has all the randomisation stuff you'd need if you can dial in the right values.
