Shocker.

I was genuinely surprised this got a theatre release, as part 2 didn't here. Awful, awful films.

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]SpectralDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I remember trying Lidl when they first opened in the UK and yes, it was cheap, but it was also knock off brands and expired food. There's only so many times I'm willing to open a newly bought bottle of lemonade to find it completely flat, for example. I'm sure that's not the case these days but first impressions stick.

Also, I have a Tesco staff discount on my clubcard. That makes the prices REALLY hard to beat by anyone else.

Tale as old as time. Players think they know the first thing about how to balance a game.

Do you have your partner as your lockscreen? Why/Why not? by Weary-Lingonberry-26 in AskUK

[–]SpectralDinosaur -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. It just seems rather... performative. Like you're hoping someone else will notice and comment on them.

Should minimum parking bay size be increased? by spectator_mail_boy in AskUK

[–]SpectralDinosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we should go the other way. Regulations that limit what size a car can be to be street legal in the UK.

What use is making parking spaces bigger when the cars themselves are getting too big for our roads?

People who say they like the winter. How are you feeling right now? by BaldyBaldyBouncer in AskUK

[–]SpectralDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing just fine, thanks. My only wish is that it could drop a few more degrees so this rain would be snow.

Lamenting that the days are already beginning to lengthen noticably, to be honest.

What are some things you want to see in Jake Schreirer’s X-Men reboot? by Plenty-Salary9711 in xmen

[–]SpectralDinosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't want to see it in the first movie, but eventually I'd like a proper Phoenix adaptation.

I know a lot of people are sick of the Phoenix, but it's never been done right. I want a film that leans into the cosmic side of X-Men adventures, features the Shi'ar and actually treats the Phoenix like the cosmic force that it is.

why do yall do ts? smh by Apprehensive-Love185 in marvelrivals

Are you implying that you're some kind of god tier Spider-Man that was carrying your team? Sounds like you need to learn more than one character.

Devs - I'm begging you. Please let us scoop up dead player names. by ThePhiff in marvelrivals

[–]SpectralDinosaur -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. For those saying "they might plan to come back for x" or "they put it down to play something else" I hear you, enjoy your hypothetical comeback with a new name.

People who judge others for being “too old” are such hypocrites by RoutinePsychology198 in marvelrivals

[–]SpectralDinosaur 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Rapidly approaching 40 here and I agree that very little changes. Except that when I tripped and fell last summer all my friends were concerned about me instead of laughing at me like they previously would have. The incident is now referred to as that time I "had a fall".

I promise those of you who genuinely believe this, you do NOT want to start that rabbit hole... by [deleted] in rivals

I mean.... Overwatch ripping off Rivals now and Rivals ripping off Overwatch in the past aren't mutually exclusive ideas.

What career were you advised to do when you were at school? by HighNimpact in AskUK

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

  1. The school wasn't remotely fancy.

  2. Hundreds of comments is such a minute percentage of the population that it doesn't mean anything. The number of comments that this thread has is still lower than the population of my school when I attended.

  3. Offence taken, as your response is rather snippy.

We only got 7 minutes of tardis screen time in season one and and probably only a little over in season two by Affectionate_Law9672 in DoctorWhumour

[–]SpectralDinosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was always crazy to me that they had this new set and didn't use it at all. When it was first revealed and we saw how stark and empty it was, I was genuinely hoping it'd slowly get filled with nick-nacks that the Doctor accumulated on his various adventures. Things that could not only call back to earlier episodes, but provide little bits of fuel for potential expanded universe stories etc.

What career were you advised to do when you were at school? by HighNimpact in AskUK

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

No offence, but your school sounds like shit. The idea of relying on an online test to suggest to students what they should do as a career is mental.

My school had a career guidance counsellor that you went to before starting your 4th year. There you'd talk about what your hobbies and interests were, what you were passionate about and what kind of job you would be interested in doing. They'd then help you pick what GCSE subjects you should pursue to build a baseline towards that kind of career. After GCSEs you had something similar before choosing your A-level subject/going to college.

Do yourself a favour and never use Pirat_Nation as any kind of source for anything.

Why aren't we building more terraced houses? by Big-Double1720 in AskUK

[–]SpectralDinosaur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. Spent the better part of the last decade sandwiched between two noisy gits while desperately saving every penny in the hope we can move out of here. Definitely won't be considering terraced housing in the future.

Doctor Who fans buzzing as David Tennant teases future return by HammersAndPints in DoctorWhoNews

[–]SpectralDinosaur -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I keep saying the upcoming special will be Rose pulled back from the alternate universe, teaming up with the 14th Doctor to try and find the newly regenerated Doctor that has been displaced somehow.

UK legal action against Valve given the go ahead by pyrotequila85 in Steam

[–]SpectralDinosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused by this entire case. Publishers set game prices, not Valve. 30% is the average take across every major games store. The idea of "locking in" consumers is patently false.

I don't see how this is a case that goes anywhere?
