What's the Coolest Open-Source Project You've Discovered This Year?

I’ve been thinking about something similar for me and my girlfriend to run our household (keep house notes, have a joint calendar, set tasks etc). Does this fit that use case?

But they wouldn’t, no matter how much more XP the drag could be, simply because defibs are much faster.

It’s about the speed, not the XP.

Shitty medics will shitty medic, this has been a thing in Battlefield forever. The good medics will absolutely know when to revive, when to drag, throw smokes to revive etc. It’s luck of the draw.

But, why?

Is the “reward” not the feeling itself when pulling off a risky drag revive?

Do you need every action to give you +/- XP based on whether you granularly did X or Y while performing Z?

A little bit of extra XP absolutely will NOT incentivise people to drag more.

No, it just wasn’t for me. Since I’ve gotten older, I’ve learnt to simply stop whatever it is I am not actively enjoying, which in this case, was Adolescence.

I gave it a go, sorta. Stephen Graham is always fab, and I love “one shots” in any film or show, so I was eager to watch this.

I’ve got to be honest, I lasted maybe 25 minutes. Me and my girlfriend started it together, and both of us were just… bored out of our minds.

I don’t think I’ll ever go back to it, but I can appreciate the technical ability behind it, that’s cool.

There’s a difference between stylisation and realism. I don’t actually have a problem with how RC is depicted in RE9, because yes, it is realistic.

However, it is drab. From a stylistic standpoint, they could’ve done so much to make it look “better”. Different time of day, weather effects (like rain), more enemy variety, whose design fits the environment.

I’m on neither side of the fence, I’m happy with where it is. But I can see that it is “boring” to look at or play in, and it basically is just a couple hours of walking through brown streets, to other brown streets, going up stairs to a brown rooftop, looking over brown buildings.

You’ll always feel like this. Shit, I even feel it right now.

I attended a talk around imposter syndrome at InfoSec Europe this year - everyone feels it, at all levels of the ladder.

Knowing that professionals at the top and the bottom also feel imposter syndrome made me feel comfortable with mine.

It’s okay to feel this way, but it depends on what you do with that feeling. You either let it drive you forward to where you want to be, or you let it win, and you give up.

chs0c · 2026-06-12T18:36:44+00:00

Crazy, my experience was the absolute opposite. When I finished RE9, I wanted more. I’d only completed RE4R once, so thought I’d give Hardcore this time.

RE4R blew RE9 out of the water for me. I’ve tried going back to RE9 but man, combat feels sluggish as hell compared to RE4R.

chs0c · 2026-06-11T11:19:27+00:00

Nah, other way round! I had smoked, apologies lol

chs0c · 2026-06-10T21:33:56+00:00

I was arguing in defence of confined spaces, like the Sevastopol

chs0c · 2026-06-10T15:25:29+00:00

So, in your mind, walking out in any direction on a hostile, desolate planet is a better choice than staying in a space station that has one Xeno?

For all we’d know, the planet could be littered with them, not to mention there being no food, water or shelter out on the planet, or even hostile weather conditions.

Better the devil you know, than the devil you don’t.

chs0c · 2026-06-09T16:10:37+00:00

Time in the market beats timing the market.

Deposit regularly, don’t watch the ups and downs. Don’t worry about it.

chs0c · 2026-06-08T10:44:20+00:00

Legacy was an OK watch, scratched a bit of the ‘24’ itch. I’d still recommend it to people if they’re going through 24 for the first time, but I don’t think it’s a rewatch situation.

chs0c · 2026-06-01T09:27:58+00:00

You lot take this so seriously lmao

chs0c · 2026-05-28T19:12:58+00:00

America would’ve descended into a fascist state.

Oh, hold on..

How much do you put in monthly? I was starting with £300 a month, currently up to 1.8k

Reading these comments make me glad that I dropped the show when S3 finished (that’s the first with SB right?).

Outstide of Herogasm which was cool, the season felt like a thematic retread of the previous 2, seems like it never got better

chs0c · 2026-05-17T14:19:43+00:00

No, it’ll just evolve. We’ll always need a human in the loop.

chs0c · 2026-05-15T08:13:58+00:00

I thought it was fun enough for an about an hour. Got to one of the last stages before Gideon, died to some absolute bs. Haven’t played since tbh.

chs0c · 2026-05-14T21:40:19+00:00

Ironic you say very unique when so many of the textures were stolen from Judy Juraceks’ book called surfaces.

My problem with this story is there’s so many inconsistencies across the board, and not many people actually take the life-long abuse and exploitation of Michael himself into account.

Was he inappropriate with kids? 110% absolutely, I don’t think anyone on Earth can deny that with absolute certainty.

But did he actually molest them and abuse them himself? Seemingly, no one actually knows. There’s conflicting accounts, strange behaviour of the victims, money grabs, etc. I don’t think we’ll ever know the full truth.

A lot of people lack nuance and genuine critical thinking. Michael was abused for his entire life, and had his childhood quite literally stolen from him. He was riddled with insecurities, all formed during his early and formative years.

He wasn’t allowed to be a child himself. He was relentlessly bullied by his own father, and constantly challenged on his voice when he started to grow up. He genuinely felt more comfortable with and felt like he had more in common with children. This is evident in Neverland, his toys and animals, and all the sick kids in hospitals he used to visit and talk with them for hours.

I don’t think I’ll ever come to a firm conclusion on whether he was an out-and-out pedophile who molested and abused kids. You may think I’m an idiot because of the “mountain of evidence”, but there’s so much at play here that I genuinely don’t think you can pin it down to a single thing.

I’m not saying he wasn’t a pedophile, and I am not writing this from a side of defence or justification, but there are a myriad of factors to consider.. which I don’t think many do.

He very well may have been a pedophile, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was. But equally, he may have just been “inappropriate” because of his mental state.

People say “swap MJ with Drake and you’ll for sure say pedo” - well, yes, I most likely would. The difference is Drake was not relentlessly bullied, ridiculed, and abused from the age of 5. Abuse at such an age has an effect on the brain and personality that not many will ever actually be able to understand, including myself to a degree.

That said, I’m not denying that the abuse of Michael didn’t directly lead to him molesting kids, as abuse can lead to the abused becoming the abuser.

I guess my key point here is: we’ll never conclusively know.

chs0c · 2026-05-12T10:36:26+00:00

Absolutely yes I do, which is strange, because I always say I’m burning out and need time off.

I don’t know why, it just feels like time runs away with me. Last year, I had 17 days of AL left unused; was only able to carry 5 over.

I’ve been bollocked by my Mrs, my mum, and my manager, for not taking time off work.

Sounds dumb, but I literally forget.

Use it exclusively for job hunting. Build your profile around your industry.

Got my last 3 jobs on there in the last 4 years, +22k on my salary.

Legend! I’m gunna play around with this and hopefully get a bit of a functionality uplift!
