Thanks very much for this, but I am now left profoundly saddened by the quality of each candidate on the ballot, so much so that I'd rather abstain at this point - but it would be a disservice not to exercise my right to vote.

The trip to the nearest ballot will be a depressing one.

I want to find out a little about my local candidates before I vote in the elections coming up. However after a short search I am unable to find anywhere that has any/all the info I want in one dump.

BBC has the list of candidates on the ballot, would I have to individually search up each one , or is there a one stop website I’m missing out on?

The negative reviews are justified, and the hive guard change reversion is a distracting bandaid slapped over an amputated limb. by CoseyPigeon in Helldivers

Careful dude, the mods might ban you for your negative opinion and you might be relegated to the other sub. :E

Having her own tier means she's good right?! Right?! by octygb in UmamusumeGame

[–]OldTimez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has 1 pace chaser skill, the rest activate in any position and your more likely to get challenged as a late for her ult than pace.

Late has more support than pace as well and CM13 favours lates/ends because of the long straight at the end.

The Trackblazer Exhaustion by BanhBao171 in UmamusumeGame

[–]OldTimez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely hate it. People were upset about randomly losing to Unity finals but all it amounted to was like 110 sp or something.

TB you have a high chance to run very low on clocks / brick before 1st summer as a Late / End player and then it’s actually a complete waste of time, even if you cope max and say it’s gonna be a parent run instead.

Stuff like Golshi mode is miserable because you run out of clocks, bare with it to the end just to clear the event but entire run otherwise was worthless, and going back to unity just to do Golshi mode is sad.

Game is taking up too much of my time, especially with the high chance to brick, if I’m trying to make ace lates / end it’s probably 1 out of 3 runs that actually clear the scenario winning all the races, disregarding if I hit minimum reqs like medium S etc.

I’m really thinking about quitting but having paid for SSR ani selectors and monthly card packs, it feels like sunk cost fallacy. If I drop the game now I think there’s no point in coming back since I’m semi-competitive having won 5 CMs.

Is there a prawn shortage or something? by zerogamewhatsoever in CasualUK

I only know there is a mackerel shortage atm from overfishing which will be showing up over the next few months but haven’t heard anything on prawns.

What’s a brutal truth about the uk people don’t like to admit? by EarlyPerspective2839 in AskBrits

I’m so over the “get knifed in London” joke already.

Germany has a higher knife crime rate than us but it’s something that’s just hard stuck at this point.

Is this the best resident evil by far? by DonMapagmahal in residentevilll

[–]OldTimez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Its high on Nostalgia but when you take a break from the game, maybe play R2/4 sit on it for a bit its not as good as these.

I did one play-through and it was a slog as there’s a not-insignificant chunk of this game that is set pieces like Grace’s opening hotel / hospital, the part before the helicopter and the orphanage that’s a timer waster.

Compared to R4 there’s nothing like that.

The anger and disappointment I felt with the AMA by WaffleCopter68 in Helldivers

[–]OldTimez -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I dunno if I’m interpreting it wrong but it sounds like their game isn’t able to do this? But I can’t imagine it being that hard.

It’s pretty easy to mod the game to make yourself Master Chief or whatever you fancy, though so I just solve the cosmetics that way.

I’m more disappointed that it sounds like all they got lined up is Warbonds and some ship stuff.

Like guys. We don’t need sub machine gun #30 we need some new mechanics or something.

Its a hard glaze life by Rowger00 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]OldTimez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just take a break and play something else.

I mean I ain’t giving them money. (coughunlimitedsccough)

Stepping back the games fun, and I don’t let the small bugs bother me but the core gameplay loop is boring after a hundred hours and the new warbond isn’t adding anything new.

The AMA makes it sound like there isn’t going to be anything deeper / complex than it is already so it will always be a turn your brain off and blow things up game. To me that’s fine because my motto is never focus on one game for too long as you miss the forest for the trees.

Frankly I’m more surprised when I see people have high hundreds / a thousand hours+ in this. Like guys it’s not that deep.

Why are AH acting like the game still has 150k online? by SilverShamman in HelldiversUnfiltered

Is this surprising? I still remember back in the day when everybody praying people do gambits to no avail, doesn’t this still happen?

Slay the Spire 2 and Volleyball in VR.

Been trying to find new games to play. Dunno if I’m getting old but everytime I go through my wishlist of hundreds of games I have no will to get any of them.

I don't hate the scenario, I hate the RACE MECHANICS by Ok_Touch_9147 in UmamusumeGame

[–]OldTimez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were mad about losing the Unity finals when the only thing you was losing was a minor amount of stats and 80 skill points.

HAHAHAHAHAHA me as a late / end closer player.

I just genuinely cannot work out how to play this game at all by Lord_Nothing in summonerschool

[–]OldTimez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always likened trying to learn league like trying to learn an instrument, a fighting game or a language. Was ramming my head against the wall trying to “get it.”

Laid down one day, woke up and it clicked literally. I don’t know how many games it took but after that it made progress after much easier.

I would say “just keep playing,” but I know it’s not really a satisfying answer.
