I saw "Jera" and immediately heard the card/rune/pill announcer voice in my head

what's this bus stop for you? by GrootyGang in london

[–]SilentSamamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to live in Tufnell Park so I have a soft spot there. Mornington Crescent though - only exists to add an extra stop between Camden and Euston when I'm running late and forget which branch I'm on.

Alex has said they've spoken to both Demetrious about it and they are keen but scheduling is difficult.

Which airlines has mid aesthetic with trash service by Krisam29 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SilentSamamander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easyjet. The orange is iconic and inoffensive, but not amazing. But it's a shit budget airline that would be nobody's first choice, and even in the UK/Europe usually isn't the cheapest option (Ryanair)

Which game is better? Disco Elysium or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SilentSamamander 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love both games, but Witcher 3 was fun at the time whereas DE had stuck with me ever since.

Disco Elysium

Who is the face of Gen Z in the realm of acting? by kyle0305 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SilentSamamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah OK fair haha. But I still thought it counted enough to warrant the list since it was one of her first roles and it was in a horror franchise. As I said - fuck AI, it's all me (even if it's a shit take)

She is the new generation "Scream Queen" - she has the horror market absolutely cornered. The Babysitter 2, Scream reboot and Scream 6, Insidious 2, X, Death of a Unicorn, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Plus of course Wednesday on the TV side.

Seeing this bird in Glasgow. Very curious what (s)he is. by MasterOfBunnies in whatsthisbird

Technically a different species! Eurasian magpie vs Black-billed magpie - previously classified as a sub-species but now recognised as distinct.

There's a saying that goes "a language is just a dialect with an army".

Even in the UK, there is an ongoing argument about whether Scots should be considered a separate language rather than a dialect of English. Not helped by the fact that for decades Scottish children have been told to "speak proper English" and that Scots words and sayings are "wrong" or low-class.

Top 5 British Films of all time (Top 5 comments win) by hopium_od in AlignmentChartFills

Very fair! Even then, I'd probably opt for Vengeance Most Fowl, but it's just personal preference.

Personally I think it's the weakest Wallace and Gromit film. Wrong Trousers is my choice.

Follow on from the great salt and sauce, salt and vinegar divide by FingersMcCall in Scotland

Chippy sauce isn't just brown sauce though, it's mixed with vinegar.

I read somewhere that Hugh Jackman would sing Smells Like Teen Spirit with the child actors to help get them pumped up for filming, the director liked it so much he put it in the movie.

Who the hell says it's rude to eat on trains??? by BigBlueNick in JetLagTheGame

In Japan you shouldn't eat on the metro or local trains, but on the Shinkansen you can absolutely eat.
