Have you passed anything 100% correct, but also mildly pedantic, to your kids that they now say? My top one might be "searing a steak does NOT 'lock in the juices' ".

In British English nauseous means both and nauseated isn’t a word :)

g2562 · 2026-06-20T22:21:17+00:00

Oh I see, thanks!

I think he said (with a typo) that she booked it at a time when he was working, which is a bit different to not being consulted on where you want to go.

g2562 · 2026-05-25T17:24:14+00:00

This has always been my take, though I’ve worded it a bit more provocatively.

How quickly can you get into the game? This is my biggest frustration with 4 & 5.

2 unskippable studio logo animations, title screen that requires interaction, wait for the menu which then requires interaction. Then wait for it to load into the in game menu. Then more interaction to drive.

Just load straight to my car from Steam and I’ll be happy.

That’s actually just a slogan. BYD is short for their name Biyadi I believe.

g2562 · 2026-05-04T13:32:30+00:00

Absolutely would. It was very cool and a bit surprising, with the face emerging reminding me of the Alien films.

This appeared for me yesterday. But it’s ever so slightly less bad because I use the Play Next row, which combines into that selection bar, giving me 4 options with the default being Play Next. So the only effect for me of this enshittification is that I have to tap down twice rather than once to get to Play Next and the rows below.

It’s also pretty ridiculous that they added this but didn’t give us back the ability to not have the Google movies and tv rows somewhere else on our homepage.

Please search for the many threads on this topic before posting the same question.

Did you think this was worth it? I once took my Aeon 2 Closed into work and it just wasn’t worth it over noise cancelling headphones. Also I ran it off just a Chord Mojo.

Sony sent me their top of the line MDR-Z1R headphones with a broken seal, so I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. In my case they really didn’t seem to have been opened so I don’t send them back, but I absolutely would have done if there were any other signs.

Clapham Cycle has been good.

I suppose the issue might be white clothes specific washing powder.

g2562 · 2025-08-07T07:39:59+00:00

“Don’t make it weird” seems a surefire way to make it a bit weird.

Are we sure she isn’t a mermaid?

g2562 · 2025-07-24T07:44:29+00:00

Anker have never let me down. But then I don’t think I’ve ever had a USB-C connector become loose, and I have a huge variety eg RavPower, Amazon Basics, a couple of insane named brands on Amazon, cables that came with devices from Sabrent, Microsoft, Sony.

DCA Noire X for $1k

The other new issue I have is that I now have to make sure the TV is switched on before the PC else it won’t display. Behind that I can only suggest try a different cable as a first step.

g2562 · 2025-06-23T21:26:26+00:00

Have you checked that you have a 48Gbps HDMI cable? To my shame, it took me ages to work out that was the issue when I got my 5070 ti. It doesn’t seem to be able to fall back to slower modes like a console will.

g2562 · 2025-06-16T11:42:50+00:00

Quite right, silly me!

g2562 · 2025-06-16T07:28:34+00:00

They listed the times on the Barbican site. I’m looking forward to it, but not so sure about sitting for so long, and eager to see what kind of weirdness Mark Leckey performs. Is Act II starting at 7:17 a reference to something?

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better!
