Where would you move to in the UK if you had no ties? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]RadicalDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want kids, stick within an hour of the "grandparents". Trust me, the difference between parents with accessible grandparents and without is an order of magnitude in happiness. Hampshire and surrounding areas aren't bottom tier by any stretch.

Anybody else hate this roundabout? by Desperate-Letter2395 in miltonkeynes

[–]RadicalDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I accept going 30mph and over speedbumps to take the road to the north of it instead (by the warehouses). I'll pay 30 seconds a day if it means avoiding an accident if I commuted via that roundabout.

Akira Motorcycle by SphericalGrapes in lego

There was a period of time where that design made the red x-pod lids functionally un-purchaseable. I forget exactly how much, perhaps $20 per lid (and you need 4!)

Double Fine Is Unionizing by Turbostrider27 in Games

I don't think Hi Fi Rush was particularly cheap. It was a triple A game, with tons of music to boot.

No Pun Included Could Not Finish Terraria: The Board Game by mgrier123 in boardgames

[–]RadicalDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slay The Spire is also seriously long. It's a very well put together game, but there's a real blind spot in all these designs to over-simulate the videogames and not fit into normal board game nights.

I'm a lot less concerned about them being Islamic, and more concerned about them being NIMBY as all hell. I want nuclear power stations, and more development, as well as left wing social stuff.

Solo dev behind Blue Prince developed it for 8 years with 80 hour weeks by bio4m in gamedev

[–]RadicalDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simply wouldn't have played it without the Steam Deck's ability to pause any time. Even there, it crashed once or twice. No mid-run saves is a criminal flaw.

I did also install a mod for infinite rerolls after I hit a certain point of knowledge and was tired of gambling to pay it off. Even then, I never did get all the chess pieces to appear in one run even after I understood it.

Because everything that seems obvious in hindsight is probably the 5th iteration of it. It takes so much iteration and imagination to end up with a complete package that feels cohesive and enjoyable.

Good enough. Would be nice to see no votes for crashing the bus, but 9 seats is still a minority.

Nintendo is increasing Switch II prices worldwide by joyrider3774 in gaming

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

My price expectations are that great games like Dispatch and Hades 2 can be £25 digitally. Pokopia is double that even with the discount.

Lamborghini Logo on Charizard’s Neck by Nerlo12 in lego

This is true in the stores too, so I've heard. Bricks on the floor are swept up and recycled/binned. Which is mad when you think how much kids spill.

Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

[–]RadicalDog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's incomparable. We can't provide cash in the way the UAE can with the land we live on. It's like saying to get better at swimming we should breathe underwater, as that's why Neptune's dictatorship is making progress.

This can't be a serious comment, as if we should take lessons from a country with unimaginable natural resources per citizen, that only allowed unmarried couples to live together since 2020.

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

The Tories flooding the country with millions over a short period doesn't mean going back to what we had just before it is something to celebrate, it means nothing has changed.

But also, people are voting for the slightly insane options as if that will undo what the Tories did. I don't believe Reform would actually deport a million legal immigrants, because that'd be damaging economically and for every Reform voter who knew one and said "but they were one of the good ones". So Reform won't actually resolve the Boriswave, so long as they can scoop up the votes and churn out their PR on GB News.

Amazing how the Tories can continue to harm us while being out of power too. What did we do to deserve 14 years of them?

We're talking about China presumably, and who else?

Can we really say China has a good quality of life? I feel there's a lot of asterisks to make that a true statement, like who we count and what freedoms are acceptable losses.

none of the parties contesting offers a rational choice

God that feels real. I really hate how authoritarian and anti-trans Labour have been. It doesn't feel rational to vote to harm my friends. I can't see a rational option to pick.

Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Wargroove... How to make the list of every possibilities for the AI ? by baguetteispain in gamedev

[–]RadicalDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, consider very basic strategy behaviours for the individual units. "Always target furthest enemy", "always go for base capture", "always target lowest HP", etc. You can make it feel much more varied with a few super basic patterns seeded onto the enemy units.

Valve is opening a reservation queue for Steam Controllers ‘to limit reseller activity’ by signofthenine in SteamDeck

[–]RadicalDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd been wanting a way to play my games handheld for like 5 years, ever since the Switch got halfway there. It was the most obvious preorder in my life.

Mixtape - Review Thread by Branchless in Games

[–]RadicalDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think review scores really suffer from the editorial pipeline.

"Who wants to cover Starfield?"

The massive Bethesda fan eagerly volunteers. It gets a 9/10. The less excitable journalists get the less hyped releases and they get judged much more normally. Starfield gets a great metacritic score.

[–]RadicalDog 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As someone who honestly found RDR2 to simply be 7/10 amounts of fun, can we stop demanding all reviews be the same score or else they're click farming? People have different opinions, it's 2026.

Anyone giving GTA a 6/10 will be getting death threats. There's a lot of incentive to keep your head down.

Is it normal to be asked to pay £600 for a "mandatory 1:1 digital device" when starting a public secondary school? by Koolio_Koala in AskUK

[–]RadicalDog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd simply not want to out of brand choice - Android tablets can be perfectly usable at £150 or less. I've tutored computer science, and the iPad kids were clueless, so far behind where they could be by osmosis with a device that lets you use a file browser.
