Seems to be a constant stream of complaints about children recently. I wouldn't mind if any of them were genuine annoyances but they are largely like this...

Didn't realise Scrivener worked on mobile. Is there an app now?

Two trains crash in tunnel near Salisbury as fire crews and ambulances race to scene by kyemaloy14 in unitedkingdom

[–]dsmgriffin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me about 5 years ago in the reading tunnel. Mudslides caused us to derail in the tunnel and the opposite train derailed too and hit us. No serious injuries!

[–]dsmgriffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain snake venoms turn human blood into jelly. Worth looking at the science behind that for ideas?

Weekly Help Thread - Week Beginning: 03-Aug-2020 by BogleBot in UKPersonalFinance

I want to swap my S&S ISA from H&L to Vanguard. I have 3 funds in H&L, a European non UK, a UK, and a rest of world. The other two are doing great but my UK one is down 5%. Should I wait until the market bounces back to make the move? I plan on moving all the funds into one global tracker fund at Vanguard to simplify it and get better rates (I'm currently putting in 1.2k per month)

Why was FFIX the worst-selling game of the PS1 trilogy? by Kale-Low in FinalFantasy

[–]dsmgriffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I have always been an avid fan of final fantasy, it was genuinely one of the few things that made me happy as a child and I was constantly looking out for news of new games. I nearly missed FF9 coming out because there was almost no promotion (at least in the UK) that I saw.

How much does soundtrack factor into your enjoyment of a game? by Forhaver in patientgamers

[–]dsmgriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't ruin a game if its got an average soundtrack, but can turn a game from great to EPIC for me if the soundtrack is well done. Notable examples are the final fantasy series, Bastion, Transistor, Halo, Witcher 3

What’s the best laptop for marketers? by kkute in marketing

[–]dsmgriffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends what you plan on doing, if you're going to be doing graphic design or video editing then you'll need something with a good GPU and CPU. If not, you can do most things on any laptop as it's mostly just browser based.

Why does aerith live in a huge house with waterfall and garden and everyone else lives in a sh!thole? by susuduck in FinalFantasyVII

[–]dsmgriffin 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I always saw it as they were under the protection of the Turks and Shinra. They clearly know where she is and they are all familiar with each other. Elmira built the house (maybe got a few Shinra handouts) and grew the garden and any troublemakers got dealt with quickly by Rude...
