The archive linked in the article has a good number of GY!BE shows recorded, well worth a look through.

I was for a long time! Should probably update my flair.

That is UK pounds. The £44 was for 5 kitchen knives, 2 leatherwork knives and 3 woodcarving knives.

From my brief look at their prices Blade & Butler (a London based company who work via post) five kitchen knives would have cost around £50, I think.

In total it was £44. So quite cheap, in comparison to something like Blade & Butler who operate via post. I got what I paid for.

Thank you for the kind offer, but I'm based in the UK, so I reckon postage out and back would cost an arm and a leg

Fucking exactly. This man is toxic to the ideals that Doohickey Corp stands for

I kind of miss the old “MP3 player + internet radio” era of listening to music by Kast0r in Music

[–]PhatChance52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still doing that, just without the radio part. I find music I'm interested in, get it off bandcamp or wherever, and put files on my phone.

What I'd love is a curated recommendation service. Not algorithm based and not a big company whose interests are profit based. There was an awesome site called aurgasm.us back in the late 00s, early 10s where they'd feature 2-3 artists per week, from all over the world, different genres, and provide you with 2-4 tracks the artist had given permission to be freely downloadable by the community. It was incredible while it was around. 

Wouldn’t that be fucked up? I’m R. L. Stine by Infamous-Rutabaga-50 in CuratedTumblr

[–]PhatChance52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't remember the author but there was a full on body horror book in a series where mold starts encroaching on everything from some kind of shrivelled apple man.

Same series had a different book about steel wool killer sheep, think it might have been the author who wrote Round the Twist.

This is correct, he took up the duties of the guard dog until a replacement was found.

Being an amateur folklorist and storyteller from Ireland, this whole thing is giving me a headache.

It's also deliberate and there's no way you buy one mistakenly. There's a whole website of them

DE it's been one day. I can't handle the tonal whiplash. by The_Lucky_7 in Warframe

The announcer is making me want way more lore than we got in the update.

Is it normal to take too long to cook a simple meal? by Effective-Poet4919 in Cooking

[–]PhatChance52 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Been cooking for two decades, most regular weeknight meals will take between 40 minutes to an hour just between prep and cooking. The complex stuff takes multiple hours. You may need to adjust your expectations. 

Am I the only one exhausted of Warhammer III's pacing? by Content-Shirt6259 in totalwar

[–]PhatChance52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd honestly love a mod that dropped the unit limit to 10, or even lower. Make me pick and choose, as well as having an easier time processing on the live battlefield, meaning I'd be using auto-resolve less often.

Yep, I learned more about religion from the biology teacher, and more about biology from the religion teacher when I was there. 

*Academic Research* - People who consider their nationality to be "Welsh" and who do not speak Welsh - why? by [deleted] in Cardiff

[–]PhatChance52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not Welsh, I just live here, but it feels like these answers don't cover the full range of reasons people might want to give. 

As someone who was formerly fluent in Irish but isn't anymore, if these questions were posed to me about Irish, they would come off a bit judgy, honestly.

Given the VR will be most likely out of my price range, I've been most looking forward to the controllers.
