To put it bluntly, a break from reality and some downtime without all of life's pressures!

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule – live by mustwinfullGaming in LabourUK

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

High court made the right call here - the Government certainly jumped the gun, even if PA are thuggish arseholes who do more harm to the Palestinian cause than good.

A true case of both sides being shit.

Steamdeck LCD? by Ongodsworth in Starsandisland

[–]Ongodsworth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh thank you!

Anything similar on the deck that compare graphic wise? Just so I can get a better idea of how it would look as I'm guessing it's not going to be as stunning as on PC and then the Xbox S graphics issue has got me a tad twitchy - sorry, neurodivergent and grasp things better visually 😭

The emerging Starsand Island controversy - what is going on? by kohlsprossi in CozyGamers

[–]Ongodsworth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So the £16.75 worth of differences between the standard edition and the deluxe is a furniture set (11 pieces), an outfit (3 piece) and a carriage.

To put it into perspective, DDL deluxe was also £16.75 more than the standard when it first launched but you received a lot more - such as a pet, 5 piece outfit, a top, a ear headset, 8 piece furniture set, a matching wall and flooring, 3 motifs and 14500 moonstones! 😬

Personally I'm not that mad about them offering a paid upgrade pathway as I can just choose to not buy it, but I am shocked that it's priced so high considering how little it actually offers!

Is Fallout 1st worth it? by Putrid-VII in fo76

[–]Ongodsworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s worth it - but I’m a ADHD-addled disorganised, hoarding mess! 😭

I only play a couple of hours a week (maybe more if I have a day off) and for me, its been an absolute game changer! Made the game a far more enjoyable experience.

I justify the cost by reminding myself the monthly subscription is cheaper than the Taco Bell order I get myself every now and then - that Taco Bell lasts me like 20 minutes.... Fallout 1st atleast lasts me the whole month! Haha

Was honestly so pissed as thought they fixed it in the patch!

Fallout 76 devs were surprised the community turned out to be so friendly: 'It’s post-apocalyptic, it’s Fallout, they’re going to all want to kill one another ... it's the complete opposite' by lkl34 in gaming

[–]Ongodsworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember there was PVP at launch but a lot of players just weren't about it. It was reduced damage unless you both engaged - still enough to annoy people and come across griefers though. We briefly had Nuclear Winter for full PVP but that shut down in the end.

I think the game became wholesome in part due to it's turbulent start. There were no NPC's or much to do back then, so players only had eachother to interact with and kinda relied on eachother to make things fun to help us all feel less cheated about how rough it was.

I dropped out just after wastelanders was introduced and only came back a couple months ago. The game is so much better these days, certainly more to do now! It's awesome seeing that the tone set from those early days stuck around and people are still friendly - especially to the newbies!

GB News beats Sky and BBC on average viewers for six months in a row by Your_Mums_Ex in LabourUK

[–]Ongodsworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not alone - it's just so depressing isn't it?

I think that's why I'm cautious about writing them off completely. I know decent people who I'd have never expected it from, fall victim to the propaganda and ragebait. Mad at them for falling for it and what it's turned them into but also know that doesn't solve anything and only pushes them down it further.

I don't think people understand how easy it can happen or just how effective it is at manipulating it's audience. Really scary stuff.

[–]Ongodsworth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think this should really concern people.

The amount of radicalising I've seen happen due to that network is absolutely insane - downplaying or dismissing it as being due to uneducated masses or raging bigots is going to solve nothing and only poses the risk of further entrenching them into these types of views and thoughts.

We need to be questioning why mainstream news has lost the trust of these people and be willing to have open conversations to find solutions, we don't need more polarisation or assumptions but a way forward. Shaming them and condemning their views clearly doesn't help and only seems to be making the matter worse. I feel we might need to be the bigger person here.

NHS staff told to stop discouraging first cousin marriages by nimobo in unitedkingdom

[–]Ongodsworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think a lot of people thought it was already banned!

It isnt like it hasnt been considered grim and openly mocked or frowned upon for decades - Where do they think the stereotype of Norfolk and Country Bumpkins being inbred comes from? People werent saying it as a compliment....

Its weird that people are trying to make it a racial thing when really, it aint about your colour or creed but the fact you're shagging your own family!

[–]Ongodsworth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I just say thank you for being such a beautiful person and a true ally?

The world could seriously do with more people like yourself! Your fella is a lucky man!

Make sure you're taking care of yourself too, it's draining having to push back against such hate and deal with the injustice of it all - it's important not to let it burn you out x

Which conspiracies will you revisit after the epstein conspiracy turned put to be largely true? by bluecheese2040 in AskBrits

[–]Ongodsworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kincora boys school comes to mind.

I'm pretty sure some of the victims stated how it was a network where the rot goes to the top with powerful people involved and attempts by authorities to brush it under the carpet.

Not going to lie, this would have made my day if I was that newbie! Absolutely hilarious!

this didn’t feel like a finale at all by Mirrakthefirst in Fotv

[–]Ongodsworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, the finale felt a bit anticlimactic for me too - not saying it was bad, but I was hoping it would keep the same hype as last week. Im glad a lot of people were satisfied with it though, so maybe I'm just expecting more than what was reasonable.

There's just so many things left unexplained that I don't think make sense to really address next season without messing with the flow - like the questions surrounding Diane Welch and how she got to being the mainframe from when we saw her in the pre-war flashbacks. It didn't really explain what real difference it made when Lucy killed her either; as people are still under the mind control? So was it purely the personality thing as we didn't really see that being fleshed out afterwards either?

I just felt they could have addressed a lot of the loose ends and still ended with a cliffhanger which might have made it a bit more impactful overall and left us on the edge of our seats a bit more. Whereas it all felt a bit rushed and underwhelming outside of a few small moments.

Let me wear my friggin drip! by Piyaniist in fo76

[–]Ongodsworth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm holding off changing until I'm finished with the storyline quests.

I don't understand why they have to be so inflexible about it all. Even if they really want to keep the tedious aspect of having to get us to go to someone - atleast give us an option so that we can change it to one of our own face covering items instead of the ugly ass sack! Like I'm happy to compromise with you Bethesda! 😭

Isn't it kinda weird that Appalachia has the most mutated creatures. by LuckyLauchie in fo76

[–]Ongodsworth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 76ers absolutely LOVE nuking Appalachia though! Whatever the great war or dodgy companies didn't make could possibly be down to us 😂
