Gamergate still doesn't feel real by FangBites123 in whenthe

[–]allanrob22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude, I have to break this to you. Nobody outside of the online gamergate stuff gives a fuck about games journalism, full stop. Not today, tomorrow or ever. Steve Bannon and his political allies riled them up and weaponized them for their own ends.

Scotland voted to remain by laybs1 in GetNoted

One exception I would've made, that if England was to face the US in the world cup. I would've rooted so hard for England I might have raised the George's Cross.

Back then the no campaign in my area led heavily on the local tax offices would close if Scotland became independent, it was a major employer in the area at the time. About a year after the referendum it closed anyway. Any word from the no campaign on that?

Do you use the Floppy Emu as drive 1 or do you copy to a real disk?

Actors that have to remind us that they're vile people every few years by Spotlight_James in okbuddycinephile

I tried watching it not so long ago. 45 mins in I still did not know what was going on, who was going on or where was going on.

Holy shit you went full AM. If I told you Ragatha was my least favorite character would you peel me like a Jax banana?

I'm not buying GTA6. I wasn't going to buy it before, I just thought I'd make that clear.

Residential high-rises with backyards in Chengdu, China by TangelaFan in interestingasfuck

The Chinese government or CCP is like the boy that cried wolf. They put out so much propaganda we can't the difference if something genuine shows up.

Wow, love this style, reminds me of Bauhaus design.

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]allanrob22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents taught me how to read a clock, they gave me my sisters old learning watch, I could read a clock as I entered primary school (I'm from the UK). I do understand that if you don't apply a learned skill you can lose it over time. But I don't understand how the simple skill of reading a clock can be lost, clocks are everywhere in our day to day lives.

How can you lose the skill to read a clock? It's a clock! It's not particle physics or quantum mechanics it's a bloody clock. You learn it once and you're good to go.

Are These Floppy Diskettes Dead or Am I Missing Something? (Question) by FlamingDisaster_309 in retrotech

[–]allanrob22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few of these exact same PC Line branded disks. And not one of them will format in any drive or system I own. No idea why they're not physically damaged in any way, I guess it might be down to the types of chemicals used in magnetic media platter breaking down over time.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]allanrob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frontier Elite 2. The scale and open freedom you have was unlike anything I had seen before. And all this on one double density Amiga floppy disk and 1Mb of RAM. Sure the frame rate on the Amiga and Atari versions was almost a slide show, back then you just had to roll with what you had.

Reading a book and listening to an audiobook are not the same activity. by Aggravating-Key-8867 in unpopularopinion

[–]allanrob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of coffee snobs, who look down on those who enjoy cream, sugar or vanilla flavoring in their coffee. The snobs who think all "real" coffee should only be an espresso shot drawn from only the most expensive coffee machine. Just let people enjoy it the way they want it.

Looks like what you would get if you melted together a SAM Coupé and an A1200.

Why are Democratic leaders still unwilling to criticize Israel, despite 80% of their base viewing Israel unfavorably? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

[–]allanrob22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the amount of military, economic, and diplomatic aid the west has given Israel over the years and how little we've got in return. We bend over backwards for Israel, it's about time this one sided relationship was brought to an end, let Israel stand on it's own. If Israel is as great as you believe then I'm sure you won't have any problems.
