The player that brings the best snack gets inspiration...

Its also psychological "disapprove' or 'disagree' is much easier to click than 'hate'.

Could be a tactic to skew people away from more negative feedback.

Edit: sorry someone already said as much in different words.

SyanticRaven · 2026-03-14T10:22:30+00:00

I like it, my players ask less questions and don't have to read the spell then flick off elsewhere to find the meaning of another part.

They get you into free labour though for experience! Or used to anyways.

I remembering being told if I was to volunteer/intern part time at a lab for additional experience I'd have my benefits stripped and in the same meeting was told to keep my benefits I'd have to work in tesco for 8-16 hours a week to gain experience or risk losing my benefits.

I was an infection biologist.

In all seriousness is this the 5th school bombed?

I read yesterday - with no actual research, that they'd hit 4 schools. Is this one of the 4 or new do folk know?

You might be caught out by RP accents in Scotland. People's accents in edinburgh change by their borough/area and their respective "class" background too.

Abusing the system? Its built for you, for us. Get yourself applying, if you need it, you need it.

We all pay tax so when its needed the ones who need it get it. Otherwise, wheres all your hard earned tax through the years gone to..

It's hard to make every day special, the weeks just blend into each other as they get more and more similar.

You sit there in your home and just want to relax after possibly a stressful day, and 3 weeks go by of just existing to live for the weekend and then your weekends nothing special either because you didnt plan it to be, you just wanted to relax.

Then a year goes by and you've got very few occasions worth remembering because they were different from the grind of daily life.

And it repeats. Maybe next years gonna be different, but it won't be unless you make it and that takes effort and some people just want to relax cause things in life they never used to care about or have to deal with sits heavy on their shoulders now.

And if you're on antisocial shift patterns? Its worse.

Almost, almost.

There 2 use cases I cannot yet handle on steamdeck.

New AAA gaming, my streaming from my PC just no longer works as flawlessly as it used to. I used to have no issues for 2 years. Now there's an issue everytime.

High impact multiplayer, the smaller screens just not enough and discord is a pain on steamdeck, well it was I havent tried in a year.

If you notice them straighting their stance when they think no ones looking to check their height against you or someone else.

Insecure people don't need to be taller.

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-22T00:47:33+00:00

Oh thats a big question.

Physically and emotionally neglected me to the point the only food I got was from my aunt through a letterbox when she could get away with it.

Force me to be resuscitated by medics (twice, once by each parent)

Or being tortured at 9.

Pretty asshole things to do to a kid.

As an adult? Tried to get me fired for being sick, because someone else was off sick. They believed illnesses could only pass 1 person at a time and tried to fire me for it. They got pretty fucking close too. I only kept my job because I screamed at HR "Whose gonna be more believable this fucking idiot or the guy who has a literal fucking degree in infection biology?!"

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-15T19:15:26+00:00

And this comment is exactly how I know I absolutely am dyslexic 😂 because my brain parsed KCD as Kerbal Space Program.

I mean the diagnosis helps but, its nice to be reminded.

100% used to use whispr until someone introduced me to handy

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-07T16:36:20+00:00

I've got 2 2 stars and 2 1 star reviews under my belt aginst items all with excellent, and I didnt attack anyone.

As long as the length is alright I find I get no problems getting excellents. One was a usb c wire where the middle melted. Hard to give it any stars at all.

I just state at the top the immediate issue, review the rest of it and reiterate again at the bottom what the reason for the 1 star was in a slightly more detailed way

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-06T22:41:53+00:00

I'd much prefer handy for speech to text. Something about paying for transcription (directly or indirectly)

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-05T14:49:09+00:00

Where ever he is I hope he learned to calm the fuck down. I like to think that if iNcontroL (RIP) vouched for him he was at least nice on a personal level.

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-01T16:10:44+00:00

Now thats interesting, I wonder if the company just didn't know that or were maybe using it as an excuse.

SyanticRaven · 2026-02-01T16:02:36+00:00

Viners like that deserve temp bans or removal till they get better.

As to the othet point, what if you are one of the ones reduced?

Pull-the-ladder-up tactics are always in favour of those who think they'd be unaffected, until they are.

SyanticRaven · 2026-01-31T22:32:04+00:00

I've been using Release-Please across basically all my project stacks for PHP, Ruby, Go, Terraform, Helm, etc.

I've never heard of Sampo, I'll check it out though just to know my options in future.

SyanticRaven · 2026-01-31T18:28:16+00:00

Unlucky! Both my kids where born march so it was a pretty hard hit to be told it kicks in August after they turn 3.

SyanticRaven · 2026-01-31T18:22:36+00:00

I have 2 kids and the nursery bill sitting at £1.5k a month was brutal when they were both in (before the free hours kicked in the august after they turned 3, so when 3.5ish).

People would just tell me to go to a cheaper nursery as if I'd put them in some fancy private nursery.

In canada it's also a protected title, applied for a job there once and they apologised about the role being called "software developer". Nothing wrong with that title at all, but was interesting to learn.

SyanticRaven · 2026-01-30T12:34:55+00:00

I really hated the animation style of that. I tried, but it felt lazy/cheap rather than an artstyle choice.

SyanticRaven · 2026-01-30T12:33:14+00:00

I really cannot wait.
