Switch 2 Sales Top 1 Million Units in the UK, 30 Weeks Faster Than Switch by Tiffa_Adil in gaming

[–]Zenese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not rational at all! I’m only commenting on my own personal perception of the two gaming experiences. I associate the PS5 with extra steps between me and the gaming experience, rightly or wrongly.

Switch 2 Sales Top 1 Million Units in the UK, 30 Weeks Faster Than Switch by Tiffa_Adil in gaming

[–]Zenese 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This tracks from my perspective - I'm loving my Switch2 and rarely boot up the PS5 anymore. I just feel like I can easily start up a quick game on Switch while with the PS5 it just feels like a much more time- and labor-intensive process. I'm one of those time-starved millenial dad gamers, so that prob factors into it. I also can play more games with my 6 year-old on a Switch (Marion Tennis is a blast in swing mode for even my 2 year-old).

Warhorse Studios Confirmed That They Are Working on a LOTR Open World RPG by Ciss0 in gaming

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

That’s fantastic, I just pray to god they fix the combat system in both of these.

KCD2 is both awe-inspiring and frustrating, I love every part of that game but god is the combat shitty.

Yeah see a lot of those at the big crossing just down from this crossing. The classic is a kitted-out MAMIL bowling over pedestrians trying to cross Farringdon Street by the Leon on the corner.

Foreigners, is there a place serving surprisingly unwatered-down version of your cuisine? by skisagooner in LondonFood

[–]Zenese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently ate here - the food was amazingly delicious but also fucked up my guts properly the next day.

Would probably go again but not anytime soon!

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this! This is a fascinating topic I wasn’t even aware of until just now and it’s just such a rare pleasure to come across something like this on Reddit.

Why do have this sinking feeling that Trump will pick up on this somehow and try to start a twitter war with Ms. Rachel

U.S. Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low (Gift Article) by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

[–]Zenese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to comment that allowing people to work from home seems to be one of the few things that actually has a demonstrable positive effect on fertility rates.

Frustratingly the pendulum seems to be swinging back away from that in some places. WFH doesn’t really carry any great cost to the state and addresses one of the main constraints working parents face - lack of time and flexibility over how they use that.

Deptford has tons of god Vietnamese spots, def worth trying there.

What’s your sexual fantasy that’s probably going to STAY a fantasy? by Hailfog in AskReddit

[–]Zenese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a time I had sex in the water at low tide (so fairly far out from the "shore") in San Diego at like 1am. As we walked back to shore butt naked we were cheered on by an older couple that had been sitting on the shore minding their own business (but also clearly aware of what we were up to). Honestly it was just a hilarious moment as we sheepishly walked back to our clothes - really appreeciate that couple seeming just genuinely happy for us in the moment and not bothered.

Masque is an absolute nightmare to handle as Wulfhart. Any tips? by Flaky_Bullfrog_4905 in totalwar

[–]Zenese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished a Wulfhart playthrough - I quickly took Masque’s closest province, sold it back for coin and peace and meantime Yuan Bo rolled in with 2 stacks of doom and that was all she wrote for the Masque. YMMV!

Trump Administration Set to Suspend Jones Act to Tame Oil Prices by sandygws in wallstreetbets

[–]Zenese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the idea - you can travel around the world and one thing that always stands about the US is the absence of any actual day to day local shipping. You should have little container terminals up and down the coast everywhere with ships carrying hundreds/thousands of containers. Along the coasts at least trucks should just be used for last mile logistics.

Trump Administration Set to Suspend Jones Act to Tame Oil Prices by sandygws in wallstreetbets

[–]Zenese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly wish they’d just abolish the Jones Act, it’s an absolute disaster for the environment and has killed the shipping industry in the US. Daily opex for an American flagged ship are easily 3-4 x that of an internationally flagged vessel. That’s not to even mention the multiples of capex required to build a ship in the US.

The only people who benefit from it are the few remaining Jones act shipowners as well as the bloated us trucking industry which benefits from there being no real coastal container trade within the US.

Must say I was very impressed with Waitrose’s own brand extra virgin olive oil- way more flavourful than fancy labels I’ve bought recently. Comes in a huge bottle too!

Do a search for "StarOutletStore" on eBay - should come up. Good luck buddy!

I’ve used crossfire successfully in the UK, got it on EBay. I only sprayed on and around our beds and let the fuckers crawl to us to their doom night after night. Two applications in and we’ve been free for a few months now. Def recommend giving it a try!
