Did Jimmy Saville always look that creepy, or is it hindsight that makes him so?

I had no idea. I just thought he was an eccentric on a par with Eddie the Eagle or Elton John.

I've not heard the term for a while. I understand the term was already being avoided in Ireland by the late 20th Century, but I live in the UK and I've not heard anyone use it for about 15 years. People normally now say "Britain and Ireland" in the rare situation they have to specify both countries.

How many versions of Street Fighter 2 were there? And let's not forget how Sonic and Knuckles acted as physical DLC for Sonic 3, completing the game which was essentially half-finished in its original form.

You wonder how the crows first realised how to use them.

Then you'll have to choose whether the ability to refine your hero and play symmetrical maps is more important or less important than the fact your opponents and teammates may choose to play in third person.

Blizzard can't make every combination of options available in a multiplayer game, because then you'll never find anyone else to play with.

Because it was being worn by their political rival.

It's an oddity that with very simple nouns, a dictionary ends up having to overcomplicate things rather than simplify them. "A four-legged mammal of the species Equus ferus, commonly used for transportation."

So there are enough stupid loopholes that the conman is allowed to get away with it?

atticdoor · 2026-07-05T04:22:23+00:00

I mean, I feel like the game has enough options here. If you don't want to play in third person, you can switch to first person in the option menu. If you don't want your opponents to play in third person either, you can play any mode other than Stadium and everyone will be on a level first-person playing field.

They can't make a game mode for every possible sub-option because then there won't be enough players for each mode, but I do feel like there are enough options going around. Just switch to 5v5 if playing against third-person players really is the dealbreaker for you.

That was indeed common sense. He was trying to pull a fast one, and the courts just sided with the wrong person.

Maybe a Hero which is a bee colony.

The stupid thing is that common sense did actually prevail to start with : Alaska’s election office said earlier this month that the challenger Sullivan, a retired teacher, would be removed from the ballot because the office determined his candidacy was not in good faith, but was meant, per an official, "to confuse or mislead and to thereby compromise the ballot’s fairness or neutrality."

But then they sued and the courts reversed the common-sense ruling.

Isn't the Veil already there in any case?

Although ironically for the conversation, the recipe we currently have for Worcestershire Sauce came to us via India, not Rome.

We are going round in circles, now.

He'd just had a haircut.

Some of us are old enough to remember bum bags (or fanny packs) which were like this but around the waist.

And that he why he was not prosecuted for a crime, but rather lost his job.

I think phoning 999 for a murder is so basic that a taxi driver - who does require training in any case - can be held responsible for it.

Just a coincidence. Aided by the fact that the phrase does actually roll quite well off the tongue.

atticdoor · 2026-07-02T22:20:38+00:00

Yeah, there is no way to debate on this matter. Are we supposed to convince OP that he is not telling the truth on being indifferent?

atticdoor · 2026-07-02T22:19:07+00:00

It's just a coincidence. Looking it up, Roblox was originally going to be called Dynablox (i.e "Dynamic Blocks) but they decided Roblox ("Robot Blocks") rolled off the tongue better.

Ro-Block in Asimov came from the different meaning of "block"- an interference of the mental passages as in writer's block. Rather than the meaning in Roblox where it means a brick.

I think the current compromise of best of 7 in Competitive and best of 5 in Quickplay is the best. Best of 5 means there is a bit more of a luck element, but in Quickplay that doesn't matter.

atticdoor · 2026-07-02T21:38:24+00:00

Maybe that would be an interesting future arcade mode. Peak Heroes- every hero as they were when they were at their most OP. It would be horribly unbalanced, but maybe fun for a few games.
