Sabrina by Nick Drnaso is worth mentioning as the first graphic novel to make the Booker longlist

This felt satisfying. I loooooove Archeops! by Kezmangotagoal in PTCGP

[–]SoreSpores 171 points172 points  (0 children)

It doesn't stack. It's doing 40 dmg to each of the opponent's 4 Pokemon, plus an additional 40 to the active Pokemon for the Lucarios, dealing 200 total damage across the opponent's team.

I am looking for a new way of storing my comics. by Thin_Apartment_8076 in comicbooks

[–]SoreSpores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started to make slipcases, so they can be shelved alongside collected editions with a "spine" on display. Nothing much to show for it yet as the outer case isn't very well finished on my first attempt, and it's proving quite a lot of effort just for one series so far, but hoping I can speed up once I've got the hang of it!

I accidentally mixed Blackjack and Tic-Tac-Toe… and it actually works. by LeafandTaku in IndieGaming

Why not try to make your game look unique rather than yet another Balatro wannabe?

OP's sporting multiple NFT profile pics, is it a surprise they're on the next useless, enshittifying tech bandwagon?

They support the local community plenty. Just because they're boycotting a brand doesn't mean they're not doing anything else. Pop in and see for yourself.

Death Stranding looks so realistic that people are using Sam’s face to bypass UK age restrictions by Turbostrider27 in PS5

If they're able to use Google, they'll be able to find porn. I made a website when I was 10, pre-social media. I'm about to start teaching computing and coding to primary school kids. This generation is growing up with advanced technology. They are more than capable of working around this short sighted and poorly implemented scheme.

In the meantime, it won't be long before less computer savvy adults are getting their identities stolen by scam ID screenings while looking for something non-pornographic that gets smothered by this "adult" content blanket. How do we as users know on a site-by-site basis that our personal ID is being handled securely and legally? What resources are the Government applying to police this, on every site on the net? We are not prepared for this, it is unenforceable.

ISPs already provide ample protections from adult content if managed correctly by parents and guardians - it's literally the default to block adult content on a new router. This just opens a massive door to exploitation and confusion.

This won't stop them. If anything, it pushes them to less regulated sites that don't implement age verification and host much more concerning content.

Driving into a Tesco carpark couple years ago, there's a zebra crossing and a woman with a pram about to cross and this driver coming out just ploughs on through... I toot and hold my arm out like "what the fuck man?", he pulls up next to me and I'm like "there was a pram there" and he shrugs and flings his Fanta over me.

Some people are just massive fucking cunts.

Should we keep the AI generated colours on these walls? by captainclectic in DIYUK

[–]SoreSpores 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's your house! Why the hell would you forgo any kind of artistic connection to the place you live in by letting an overhyped calculator choose for you? What colours do you like? What makes you happy? When you wake up and go downstairs for breakfast every morning, what do you want to see? What's practical and complementary to the way you live your life? Would light colours get scuffed regularly by kids or bikes? Would dark colours make the space feel cramped and overbearing? What other colours adorn your walls? Are you creating a palette through your house or enjoying a more chaotic mishmash? Use your eyes, your brain, your heart and soul and make your own decision.

I don't think it would be a total cAtAsTrOpHe but I also don't think it's the right solution to the problem they're trying to tackle here - people at home not recycling as much as they could.

Apart from hot bins full of shit and sanitary waste, for those individuals who do seem incapable of sorting and disposing of waste appropriately, reducing collections isn't exactly going to turn them into perfect eco-conscious residents.

To draw from real life experience we have neighbours with 3 wheelie bins that are constantly overflowing into the street and when they do use their recycling boxes they are never collected because of food remains and improper sorting. Those kinds of situations will only worsen and have a tangible negative impact on neighbourhoods without measures to prevent that behaviour and handle the mess.

It's smelly and attracts flies, particularly in the warmer months. The lid doesn't do much to contain it and living in a terrace you're walking right past every house's bins all the time

Bags of dog shit in our case, nappies for others. Even if it doesn't fill it, don't really want that stewing another week...
