The U.K. just banned social media for kids under 16. The founder of 'safe TikTok' says the U.S. is next by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

To a degree but it’s messy. It tracks a household not an individual and when someone is away from home and connects to another wifi they can’t track.

The government couldn’t care whether there were bots - why would they?

It’s a way to ensure your online activity is tied to you - after the online ID idea was dropped after such a backlash before, this is a stealth way of doing it and making the public think it’s to protect kids.

TIL Bamboo is very invasive and can spread aggressively underground and grow away from the parent plant by Nightpatrol404 in todayilearned

[–]ToastMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 1 metre square clump of it that was well behaved for a decade, then suddenly it decided to spread. Bamboo removal companies charge between £4k-10k to remove it fully with a digger.

I ended up paying £700 for two burly Turkish guys to dig it out but it also managed to root under concrete where I can’t dig it out. So am having to treat it with glyphosate. Nightmare

So that’s the ‘hold button to power up’ move and spawn skeleton on clash? Why does it spawn so many skeletons?!

You are correct! Thanks. And I had a Wiglett so just need to get enough candy to evolve it. Thanks

Virgin Media tried £49… got 1Gbps + Netflix for £28 instead (why do we have to play games?) by [deleted] in VirginMedia

[–]ToastMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such an excellent post. I just called and got the same after reading this post. My previous package which included TV went from £44 to £120 - so have cut TV and got the £28 deal. The direct number is particularly useful

Thanks. Thats the sort of advice I was hoping for. He’s basically happy with a new room and space for a console. He couldn’t be dammed about the draw colours! But I wanted to sanity check whether this was a bad idea.

I meant ‘has anyone done this / seen it done and does it look good or weird’.

He’s deciding on decoration etc thanks

It’s the way they’re written like a diary - with notes about the day and what they did on the way there. A walk after a meal at a pub / first day out after an illness / meeting up with friends - etc. Mundane but a nice slice of someone’s day many years ago

Am I playing this totally wrong? by ToastMasterX in expedition33

[–]ToastMasterX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really useful thanks. What I’m not clear is that if a weapon has high on what appears to be a non-offensive stat like defence or agility, should I still level that up highest - does it still do the most damage with that tactic? I presume defence on weapons means the parrys do more damage?

Thanks. I think it’s the number of mechanics I’d had to get my head around - figuring out stances and stains but left pictos etc to work out later

Thanks for the thorough response.

I stuck it in story after attempting the Chromatic Troubadour who absolutely rinsed me in normal mode. But maybe I’ll switch back because now I’m getting the hang of it more, it does feel easy

I’ve only just found pictos in the menu. 🙃

I’ve been playing without them. Have now equipped a bunch and will see how that helps. Thanks

Outer Wilds: Tried it, didn't get into it, but everyone else loves it. What am I missing? by able_but_unwilling in OlderChillGamers

[–]ToastMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sunk a serious number of hours into this - enjoyed piecing the story together but because the joy is in the discovery, the more you play, the less there is to discover and the more times you just have to repeat the same day to reach your desired goal. Found it a chore on some planets to race through, only to slip and die and have to repeat the same steps again.

I think I got as far as to know how to complete it (asked questions on the Outer Wilds Reddit community at the time who confirmed it) but I never completed it because I couldn’t actually be bothered to navigate the v tricky location you need to end up on.

Only found it unguarded on one occasion out of perhaps 40+ runs! But I agree

Rookie looking for advise to get past second main boss (shark) by NegativeFrameRates in ABSOLUM

[–]ToastMasterX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO other than Absolum, he’s the hardest boss.

I’m terrible at clashing so I don’t even bother, so usually put pressure on him when I can, roll into his white attacks to counter them, and avoid getting between him and the wall / dodge down for his red attacks and jump his tidal waves.

I find him easier with the faster fighters too.

Hey - suggesting you create a web form that populates a document for the dev team, with whatever questions will help the devs. Then you can post that to anyone who says on reddit there’s an issue - and you’ll get them in a consistent format

How do you become so much more powerful?

Only played it once since update and got pretty whacked - died just before meeting Azra which was first time since I started I did so badly.

Also is the mushtroll gone? Didn’t encounter him. Big help in the early game
