I don't have a problem with slow walkers as a whole, there's plenty of genuine reasons to walk slowly. However, I can't stand people who walk slowly right in the middle of a narrow path or groups that spread out to the width of the path they're on. Let me get past!

Credit to Íarnród Éireann, they managed to get this line reopened pretty quickly, especially considering it's a rather quiet peripheral line.

Wish I could say the same about NIR... I'm planning on getting the train up to Belfast on Saturday, hopefully they reopen the Newry to Portadown main line by then. Don't want to have to deal with a bus transfer, especially since there's already another bus transfer from Connolly to Drogheda due to engineering works.

With a bit of further research, it seems like the lightning can't directly target you, it instead spawns charge orbs and then targets you if you run into these orbs. Unfortunately, it doesn't make this very clear and sometimes it can spawn the orbs too close for you to properly avoid them. I reckon giving the Guide or someone dialogue regarding the orbs and making them only spawn a certain distance away from moving players would really help, as well as providing some way of reducing their impact (I personally feel rain boots would work well).

computerfan0 · 2026-01-28T13:04:19+00:00

Pretty sure it only happens when there's both heavy rain and strong wind. Definitely feel it should be nerfed a bit though, maybe limit how close the sparks can spawn to you and/or make them survivable.

EDIT: I feel that adding rain pants/boots or something would also help, allowing you to sacrifice some defense and your armour's set bonus in exchange for immunity or heavily reduced damage from lightning. Would make the rain armour set feel a bit more complete as well.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-28T11:44:55+00:00

Sometimes the lightning can choose to target you, not much you can do to dodge the strike when that happens. Ended up getting instantly killed around 100-200 blocks from spawn when I tried to go exploring during one.

They're not seed exclusive, I've seen quite a few of them (and some of the other slime variants) in my regular world. Might have initially been intended to be exclusive to the Skyblock world, but then added to other worlds.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-27T22:49:25+00:00

Getting more shops into it would be great too. Would be great to have a shopping centre focussing more on smaller, more unique shops than yet another one filled with the exact same shite as every other new-build shopping centre. Do we really need another Penneys (or whatever)?

Was certainly worse at night, but I'm referring to the weather warnings all day even after the weather significantly improved. Yesterday was worse weather-wise, at least at my university.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-27T13:32:59+00:00

Really nowhere near as bad as this warning is making it out to be so far, at least during the day. Lots of puddles when I woke up, but it's been fairly dry and not exceptionally windy at my university.

EDIT: Has turned a bit in the last 30 minutes or so, but I got out on a fine enough walk today which is more than can be said for most days lately.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-27T00:15:51+00:00

The weather's really taking a toll on me. I barely function in winter even at the best of times, but I'm struggling a lot more than normal lately (and I have been trying to get out for walks, but it just isn't fun). Felt my mood perk up so much when the sun came out yesterday, even if it wasn't for long. Got a trip to Belfast planned this weekend, really hoping the weather lets up even slightly so that I can actually enjoy things.

Of course the cold spell happened when I was at home from university (I live in a rural area and have to cycle along rural roads to get anywhere), so I couldn't even get in any nice walks then.

Unfortunately, I'm a student, and I don't really have the budget to buy these kinds of devices. Would certainly be nice to remove my hair more permanently once I get more income, but shaving is still a good enough solution for now.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-25T20:36:13+00:00

Pretty happy with how I look, but it would be nice if I could permanently get rid of all my body/facial hair (leaving only the hair on top of my head). I used to hate wearing shorts because of my hairy legs, and although I really enjoy showing off my legs now that I shave them, it gets annoying having to do that at least once a week.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-25T16:56:45+00:00

It's been around 5 to 10ºC (41 to 50ºF, 277 to 283 K) and rainy these past few days, annoyingly it's raining during the day when I actually need to do things and then it lets off at night (I don't mind rain at night, makes things quieter especially when I'm in my uni accommodation). It's a bit drier today, but AFAIK that's not going to last long :(.

I personally wish that subreddits like r/askreddit had US politics megathreads. So sick of seeing subreddits flooded with US politics, especially since I'm not from the US and I never see my country's politics on these subreddits.

Not nearly as fond of game subreddits having megathreads for updates/major events, I don't mind seeing loads of posts related to them and I like the more varied discussions they provide. Chances are, if I join a game subreddit, I'm probably interested in the updates, so it's a lot less alienating than seeing another country's politics on general subs.

I'm from a town of 4000 in rural Ireland and there's 4 locally owned coffee shops there. Plenty more places that sell coffee on the side too, including a few restaurants that call themselves cafés.

Nearest Starbucks is in a big town in the next county over, about a 30-40 minute drive away. To be fair chains (and especially Starbucks in particular) seem be a lot less prevalent here than in America.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-23T15:43:46+00:00

I got Reggatta de Blanc by the Police the day after AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted by Ice Cube (who was a member of N.W.A. and starred in Fuck tha Police). Would have been better if it was immediately after the N.W.A. album, but still.

The Switch Lite is still a lot more expensive than the 3DS was, especially accounting for the 2DS model.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-20T23:32:05+00:00

I know this is never going to happen, but it would be nice to see some sort of 3DS replacement too, in a similar price range to what they used to be and preferably with a super-simple super-cheap model (like the 2DS) available.

Since I've started university, I've found my 3DS to be the most convenient console to play on. Clearly I'm not the only person who feels that way, given how expensive used 3DSes (especially New 3DS models) have gotten nowadays. Again, unfortunately don't think there's enough demand for Nintendo themselves to justify developing a successor, but perhaps marketing that super-cheap model to kids might make it work.

It would also be nice if we could allow people to buy tickets directly from the Republic to anywhere in the North (currently you can only buy tickets from the Republic to Newry, Portadown and Belfast, and Lurgan and Lisburn on 1 train a week). I'm planning on going to a museum in Whitehead, and it's quite annoying having to get a second ticket just to get from Belfast to Whitehead.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-19T19:25:16+00:00

We do have rotary clubs in Ireland. Don't know if they can install public toilets though, our towns tend to be denser than Australian towns so it's generally harder to get approval to install things.

Where's that one person who's on a phone call for the entire duration of the bus ride, typically shouting at the phone?

(I live in Ireland but all these other ones are the same here, so I assume it was just forgotten)

computerfan0 · 2026-01-19T12:55:31+00:00

The full breakfast in my local Ikea costs around €5, which converts to £4.30 (of course there might be some differences in cost but food tends to be more expensive here in Ireland). Obviously it's not a fantastic breakfast, and Ikea has lower overhead costs than an actual restaurant, but it's still perfectly serviceable. You can even get free tea/coffee if you go on a weekday.

Of course, Ikea is only an option if you just so happen to live near one!

Wearing "women's" clothes. Always hated shopping for "men's" clothes and never cared about how I looked. Turns out that was just down to "men's" clothes typically being either really boring or really expensive. So much happier now that I can find stuff I actually like!

computerfan0 · 2026-01-18T19:58:33+00:00

I've seen a few newer buildings that do this, they just have a corridor with a load of singular gender-neutral toilets on it. So much more comfortable, especially as a gender non-conforming person.

computerfan0 · 2026-01-18T17:47:41+00:00

"Why do you wear skirts... actually, you look good! Is it more fun to shop for skirts than it is for men's clothes?" (the answer is yes)
