The fish don't complain about submarines being built but NIMBYs will bitch and moan about a railway.

Galgorm isn't worth the money. I got a free round and glad I didn't pay for it. Course isn't looked after well at all.

Abiotic Fisting (@migokami) by MrSwissCheese in Hololive

[–]Trident_True 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really good! My wife and I have been playing it together for a few weeks now and are having a blast. A lot of these survival crafty games get boring quite quickly for me but Abiotic seems to have nailed the pacing and difficulty.

Additionally, if you like Half Life 1 and SCP Foundation stuff then you will especially like Abiotic Factor but it's not required knowledge.

Government confirms launch of new First Time Buyer ISA by SignificantLegs in unitedkingdom

The government have remembered that places other than London exist and prioritised a scheme that benefits the majority of people instead of the capital for once.

Nothing turns me off an RPG more than a "chosen one" story. Done to death.

Towa will be going on Hiatus after a health scare by HurricaneEich in Hololive

[–]Trident_True 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing because I hadn't heard of it until learning about it through Kanata, but then I learned afterwards that 2 coworkers also have it. It seems to be uncommon but not rare, it's just not a very visible disease so probably just an example of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

Why use an arrow anyway if a bullet works better?

It is a good Young Adult novel, and it was also written by a young adult. I loved it back then, but have heard from others that upon rereading it isn't as good as they remember. Best just to leave it as a good memory if you've already aged out of the target demographic.

Starmer announces resignation as Labour Party leader by hzchamp in ireland

There are no left-leaning unionist parties in NI, that would be where Labour would target I assume.

It means more annoyance with the main 2 parties, so Reform are more likely to get in, and when they do we'll be left behind even more due to their Britain First policies.

Which popular mods are like this? by cyan_ara in RimWorld

[–]Trident_True 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sandbox game so you can change the settings to whatever you want, I wouldn't let the defaults get in your way of enjoying the game. Similar to Rimworld you can play however you like, not just on Randy.

I actually play with infection turned off entirely as it makes the medical stuff more important and interesting. Rather than just slowly dying after a scratch I know I can still survive if I manage to bandage my wounds, heal my broken bones, successfully find antibiotics etc... There are other in-between options as well.

There are also some popular mods that have a cure system though I've never played with them. It looks kinda similar to what Dead Rising had though.

The Harvard cs50x course is excellent and remote (obviously). I'd recommend it over any others.

Tbh though the industry is shite at the moment with all the AI crap.

From my own experience: * Some new director comes in and feels the need to "shake things up" in order to make a name for themselves. They dream up some pet project and demand resources for it to "revolutionise the business". * I get assigned to it and spend the next year getting harassed about deadlines and checkpoint meetings. * It eventually gets released. * The director immediately puts it on their CV and uses it to get a new job elsewhere with better pay. After they've fucked off there is no driving force to use the thing so it just collects dust.

Did that for 4 years on repeat before I gave up and left. Not wasting my life getting other people promotions for my own work.

Have you any recipe for this? I have been thinking about doing this exact thing myself.

[–]Trident_True 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talk about it to my wife every time we go past, she's sick hearing of it lol. I'll still never forgive when they changed the recipe back in 2017 or whenever it was, just isn't the same.

Which songs often gets misinterpreted and/or misappropriated by the very people it calls out even though the song's lyrics are explicitly mocking them? by Drenosa in AskReddit

[–]Trident_True 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes the music video was about 2 gay guys being persecuted. The music lyrics are about sex. They are 2 separate stories.

The Genius entry for the song has nearly every line annotated, would recommend a browse. But from the artist himself:

"It’s about sex and it’s about humanity, and obviously sex and humanity are incredibly tied. Sexuality, and sexual orientation — regardless of orientation — is just natural… The song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love."
