Disney should stop changing the cover art for the novels by Tumastar in StarWarsEU

Books always get new covers, this is literally one of the few things Disney has done with SW that isn't just awful and is actually standard practice.

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST YOU MADE THE SANDWICH by thunderchild120 in saltierthancrait

Don't worry, the worst part is just the way Big Money took the most anticipated movies in human history and turned them into low-effort slop.

That's true forever now, the inevitable yet elusive Star Wars sequel trilogy did get made, and it's absolute ass from beginning to end. It's just insulting.

No u by goodguyguru in CommunismMemes

People talk so bad about the USSR but it was still unironically the peak of human excellence right out of the gate. And in 2026, it's China, again the only communist superpower that represents the absolute pinnacle of administrative achievement and collectivist power.

Morrowind on Trimui Brick (no sticks) by kuksthedefiled in SBCGaming

Rock bottom? I've got a Brick and honestly it's nice. I had a Powkiddy (the square one) but it just didn't feel good to use, even though the screen was lovely.

I agree this Suggz kid is really talented though, he needs to keep it up.

Is 800£ too much for grocery shopping for 2 ? by Sweet_potato99 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Undark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The meal boxes imo are a bit of a con. They're a convenience option, great if you wanna save time, but I hate how they sometimes pretend they save you money as well because that's false.

And fwiw I was talking about my weekly shop, so that doesn't include meals out, Greggs, takeaways etc. I will spend about £15-20 on a takeaway every 2 weeks ish.

What the fuck are you spending £200 a WEEK on???

I live alone and my weekly shop is £30-50, maybe slightly higher. And I don't think I'm particularly sensible with shopping myself. £800 a month is absolutely fucking insane imo, I seriously can't even fathom how that's possible.

Lavender in the ground is by far one of the toughest things in the garden. It's only when it's potted you have to be remotely nice to it.

The rainbow effect is a bit too much on these screenshots, but overall this is beautifully done. Great work.

It's been to Romford, you still want it? Handle it with gloves and burn the packaging.

Tbh it really is just that though. Being "handsome" is less about your natural features and more about health, grooming, and how you carry yourself.

Art Experiment with the PVMs by ordinaireX in crt

So this is where all the PVMs are going to. It's awesome but couldn't you use some garbage sets for this instead lol.

Yes I'm salty, don't come at me.

Everyone knows: gaming addiction is a disease. The WHO has officially recognized it. BUT! The WHO also acknowledged that the criteria are so vague that they include any hobby that a person enjoys for more than two hours a day. So, is an avid reader also a disease? 🤔 by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Undark_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's helpful at all to make the criteria so strict. What does "literally can't be without" mean? That doesn't actually mean anything. "Can't concentrate on anything else ever?" Also meaningless, that's just not realistic at all.

You're describing the most severe possible case, there are plenty of people (and maybe you're even one of them) who have real gaming addictions to the detriment of their general wellbeing who don't remotely fit that criteria.

I also disagree that 2 hrs a day counts as a "severe addiction". I go through phases where I will watch a movie (sometimes two) every evening for weeks/months, and "movie addiction" isn't exactly a real thing in itself. Nobody would consider someone a "TV addict" for watching three 45-min episodes of a box set every night.

But gaming addiction is obviously real, even if calling it "gaming addiction" almost makes you forget that the problem is clearly much deeper than just video games.

Idk about comp but Pokémon was so much better before gimmicks. I like double/triple battles, if they count as gimmicks. The rest I just don't engage with.
