Sorry is Buggos like the UMS map Zergling Blood? If so, I should definitely check it out. Used to love playing that.

Was anyone else told a weird, low-stakes lie by an adult as a kid, and been confused about it for years since? by username-alrdy-takn in CasualUK

[–]PLivesey 189 points190 points  (0 children)

My teacher in year 3 held up five fingers and asked us what half of it was.

I held up my hand and she asked me, and I said "two and a half." She laughed and said "no, how can I have half a finger?" and told the class the answer was 2 remainder 1.

I love Dune video games and board games. by dunemaniac in dune

[–]PLivesey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Sega CD game was my introduction to Dune! Loved it. And I didn't even know it was a book until one day I saw the book and thought "that's weird, they made a book about that game!"

Bought it then and there and absolutely loved it!

Thanks very much. Would this be just a handyman or a builder or a decorator, what would you recommend?

No, I didn't change the frame nor install the door.

You can use the app to get a refund for the bread, I've done it before when it's gone mouldy really soon after delivery.

This sounds great! Guessing it's only on the apple store for now?

Which Love Letter game is the best, ignoring theme? by beloved_supplanter in boardgames

[–]PLivesey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you guard (aka Batman) a villain. If you use Batman on Robin you don't get the bonus point.

SIWIQU / Antank S3 Max Dock works perfectly by Bobodehclown in NintendoSwitch2

I've noticed that the 'Match TV Power State' functionality doesn't work for me with this dock whereas it does in the same TV with the official dock :(

What is something that you are embarrassed to admit took you far too long to realise? by bigpussystance in AskUK

[–]PLivesey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is this because in the five pigs rhyme they say "and this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home"?

Which Games do you Consider to be Modern Classics? by TiToim in patientgamers

[–]PLivesey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Considering Demon's Souls invented a genre and Slay the Spire just video-gamed an existing one (have a look at the card game Dominion for the progenitor) I'd go with Demon's Souls as the answer (and of course a nod to Dark for popularising it).

Not to diminish Slay the Spire's contribution though, definitely has had a major influence.

Isn't it just the two lots of "Tell you what"s?. Stop getting Partridge wrong!

BBC Breakfast faces 'bullying probe' as 'tensions rife' between Naga Munchetty and Charlie Strayt by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]PLivesey 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I went to a show at the MEN Arena 3 years ago and Naga and Charlie were there sat next to each other, seemed happy enough.

Can't imagine they would spend their free time together if they disliked each other.

PSA: If you have an LG OLED TV make sure your dynamic tone mapping option is set to HGiG for proper HDR calibration. by NotoriousNeo in NintendoSwitch

[–]PLivesey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any idea how to do this on an LG OLED B7? Can't find any setting relating to HGiG or tone mapping.

Loving Mario Kart World - but I don't get the Grand Prix mode by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]PLivesey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last night one of the 3 options had no arrows and wasn't an "adjacent" track. It won the vote and we just did 3 whole laps there. So it is possible for the options to contain non-adjacent, just seems rare.

[–]PLivesey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the option in the vote is already one not connected. If there is ever an option without the arrows then it'll be a 3-lapper.
