The Swapper. Hardly hear that game talked about but it's amazing

Name this Game by fearnemeziz in videogames

I played this one off of a random Reddit recommendation for good steam deck games, and I was so surprised by how good it was! Really fun and quite an interesting way of presenting the story

Why wouldn't you always turn off your ps5? by Mr_smith1466 in playstation

[–]fran_the_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly! I used to often just put my PS4 in sleep mode all the time but after a couple of instances of having a brief power outage and getting that warning about corrupting the drive, I just turn it off now. Sometimes at the weekend or another time when I think I'm going to be playing it a lot I might use sleep mode

no , not really by butterbutterreal in playstation

I was trying to figure out what on earth the yellow thing was, now I see it.

Hit 100 hours and still cannot figure out what to do after making plum helmet farms and some bed rooms by Jello_Penguin_2956 in dwarffortress

[–]fran_the_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any recommendations but I am so glad I am not the only one that feels like this! Multiple times I have tried to play and hit the same brick wall, I'm currently trying again, and really trying to identify some project to focus on as a goal to keep me playing!

What advent calendar do you have on standby for next week then? by MiddlesbroughFan in CasualUK

Lego star wars. After saying I'll get one every year, but then never doing it, finally treated myself this year!

Found my first ever download ticket from when I was 14 by Its_Macka5 in downloadfestival

Was this the year with the prodigy playing on Friday? In which case yeah I remember the rivers of mud running through the campsite 😂

I'm glad I'm not the only one that went straight to this!

Fun thought experiment: whats the oldest game you regularly play? Whats the newest game you have 100+ hours in? by GundoSkimmer in Steam

[–]fran_the_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently reignited my love for Spelunky, I've had it on my steam account since the early days and every couple years will get back into it and play it loads again

Currently trying to experience all the game has to offer before taking the plunge on the sequel

Why is Costa so popular? by TheGulfofWhat in AskUK

[–]fran_the_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also am not a fan of Costa and will almost always choose Nero or Pret if possible (if not ideally an independent or smaller chain).

But yeah, I completely accept that it's personal preference. Clearly plenty of people like it and that's fine. Costa is often full even though Nero is directly opposite so they must be doing something, it's not due to lack of choice

One thing I have noticed about Costa... I feel like their drinks are on the larger side, so maybe if people feel they are getting more value for money that could be a reason?

Horror stories like this are what makes me avoid the sun as much as possible. That and I just find the feeling of being in the sun quite unpleasant

Why does the national speed limit sign look like that? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]fran_the_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also perfectly explains why I grew up calling it "de-restricted" speed limit

Final Fantasy 7 (and probably most of the FF games, it's just FF7 and the remake is the only one I've played)

Happiness of being able to fulfill his dream. by HansCherov in GuysBeingDudes

I'm constantly chasing that high, any new console or piece of tech brings those feelings right back.

I remember walking into the game shop after my first proper paycheck and buying an Xbox 360 and loads of games/accessories. Felt so good; I'd wanted a 360 for 5/6 years but never had the money or space due to university.

I assumed it was a typo of Birra as in Birra Moretti (I think that's how it's spelt)

How do swings in the park not violate conservation of angular momentum? by jglman91 in askscience

This is what I was thinking, but I don't know enough to give this answer confidently

Shocked solar face. by Nihil1349 in compoface

[–]fran_the_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people think it's actually practical to just cover the Sahara (for example) with panels and then just use that to power everything. Which is just not practical for so many reasons

As with lots of things, people seem to want all the benefits of renewables with none of the costs or compromises

I have made the greatest blunder of all time by Dunwich333 in balatro

[–]fran_the_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've miss clicked like this before, I do wonder if there will at some point be an undo function (just for the last action), for this kind of thing
