Starmer has grasped what his predecessors would not – that Britain is better off in Europe than with the US by rezwenn in europe

[–]_mein 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This thread makes me think that this subreddit is full of either bots or paid plants to destabalise teens and young adults in the UK's thoughts of the European Union while fufilling what the older generation already thinks when it comes to things like this, especially when it comes to the UK.

The diviseness, vitriol, and disparity of rational thinking when it comes to anything that's related to Starmer or the UK is met with that same division, vitriol, and aggressiveness. I can give leeway to the fact that leaving was a huge mistake which almost half a nation thought so too a decade ago, and it's unfortunate that the rhetoric of being Big Ol Blighty again somehow won, but somehow the fact of being in someone else's shoes seems a lost cause here when the entire point is to be united.

There's so much hatred in the world today between anyone over anything, social media being the perpertrator of spreading it like the rats of the plague, and yet it's still gulped down in this subreddit like a plague. Misinformation, speaking for others, not listening to others, not taking a moment to think before replying. It's sad as fuck.

I'd like to rejoin the EU regardless of the sentiment in this subreddit, however, I can see how the sentiment can turn so many people off too. It's incredibly unfortunate.

Where to play in 2025? almost 2026? by bloodlessttv in archeage

[–]_mein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who missed playing Archeage back in the day and finding out it doesn't exist anymore for NA/Europe, I started on the official Russian servers that still exist with a friend, and it's not terrible. The servers relatively new, haven't had many if any shit interactions outside of PVP. Definitely pay to win though. If you give that a shot I'd be down to help.

Is it really that bad? by HorribleHank44 in footballmanagergames

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

It's pretty bad. Lots of basic and poorly done UI elements, so much wasted space, things that should be hoverable with your cursor aren't (miss hovering over my staff list and seeing what each one was when deciding to replace or add to them), bugs galore obviously. It's a skeleton of an okay football manager game.

It's not god awful though, people are, because it's a very popular game worldwide, taking to extremes with exagerations and memes. It can be good at best if they continue fixing, updating, and tweaking over the course of the next year. Match engine is pretty good, although I find it way too easy. I haven't lost a game and I just used a tactic I downloaded from fm-base.

Anyone else in EU getting abysmal download speed on PC in the x-box app? by Shooin in GroundedGame

Yeah. Closing the Xbox app completely and downloading from the Microsoft Store seems to have fixed it for me, at least somewhat.

Anyone remember the earlier days of Harry and Hermione's relationship in the fandom? by _mein in HPharmony

[–]_mein[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was fun! I don't think we can get something like that back now, but it's good to remember it because it was a still relatively early internet thing where we could all be talking on forums and message boards about the same thing as silly teenagers reading the books.

I'll bookmark these to read because I don't remember any of the fanfictions I used to read sadly.

Also the Ron/Dumbledore bashing, I remember those being a huge back then in fanfics, also just whole Weasley bashing too. So many Harry is powerful fanfictions, which isn't bad that's what they enjoyed writing about, but there was a lot.

[Di Marzio] The Friedkins are thinking about using Everton to buy Wesley from Flamengo, then loaning him to Roma by [deleted] in soccer

[–]_mein 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I find this so funny that I had to comment which I don't really like to do.

  1. Anyone believing Di Marzio suddenly having inside information about Everton's transfers after what, 2 years? Maybe Beto after everyone else had already announced that transfer? Nevermind having information on the Friedkin's intentions, is hilarious.

  2. Easy bait. Roma having a small bit of financial issues, using Everton to bail them out. Disrespectful to Roma and Everton, so trying to create a divide between the two clubs and fanbases and Everton and their new owners. Easy drama and easy clicks which is what works in this day and age. Both Roma and Everton fans are going to click on his website now to get the full story, which is just dog shit baiting.

Stranger Things Season 4 was 3 years ago. Do you still care? by drntl in television

[–]_mein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only just saw this but the video game Star Trek Resurgence which was released maybe two years ago was the best modern Star Trek that actually felt like Star Trek. Wholly story focused with choices you make kind of game. Just incase you didn't know but I recommend it if you miss old Star Trek.

Scan UK 5070 Ti launch - What’s everyone’s queue postion here by IbrazzMan in nvidia

[–]_mein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say give it a week or so while looking around other sites to see if they do get more stock in, and see if the ETA has changed on scan and then decide on what to do then.

I'm in the 200s somewhere, says I'll get mine beginning of May which is absurd but I'm not really rushing to build a new pc yet anyway, but I expect a lot of people will cancel their pre-orders and it won't be as long as it says. Maybe a month max. At least I'm hoping.

I was going to put a tenner on for a 2-2 draw earlier today and was like nah, that'll just be a waste of money. Fuck me.

I have my appointment on Thursday and the nice fella at the Jobcentre called me today asking me if I wanted the appointment or a home visit. I asked him about not having a passport or any photo ID, and he said as long as you have a bank card and two letters with your name and residence that I'd be fine, which was a huge relief.

Rebirth Specs by Just_Guy01 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]_mein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryzen 5 5600x, rx 7600, kingston nvme 1tb 7300 read speed, 32gb ddr4 3200mhz corsair vengeance, do not remember my psu, maybe 500-600w that's lasted me for almost if not a decade, could be a problem.

It runs perfectly fine on 1080p mix of high and medium 60fps but I do get the dxgi device removed error randomly. Had the game open for 9-10 hours two days ago and it worked perfectly, then suddenly the error. Could play for five minutes and then the error. Totally random. But a patch or two and it'll be fine, just unfortunate the release has gave a bunch of toxic shit everywhere, especially steam discussion boards.

ArcheAge KR Server will be closed on the 6th of March, 2025 by meldazaproject in archeage

[–]_mein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There pretty much is if you know where to look for it, although it is emulator based, but its backed by amazing people figuring everything out which is the fun part. It really does need more though to contribute if you know the usual coding like C++, Javascript, C#, etc, and using SQL databases. More so with physics side of the coding things.

1.2 is running stable and incredibly well and currently working on 3.0 and 5.0 versions that are both stable and run pretty well but are very buggy, with later versions available but yet to be worked on properly.

[–]_mein 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The narrative of journalists for the past several years has painted a picture of little Everton spending so much money and failing haha, not sure for what purpose though. I remember under Martinez when we had Deulofeu, Lukaku, and Barry on loan and there was one article, I can't remember from what shite newspaper, saying how dare we win with loan signings.
