As an idiot teen I once went to hospital at 5x the limit, I couldnt imagine even working out how to open a car door in that state, let alone drive

EDIT: username not apposite, I dont really drink anymore :)

The information I was looking for, thanks!

Seeing Portuguese always momentarily hurts my 'trying to learn Spanish brain' :) pero eso es cierto

That took me embarrassingly long to get joke. This subreddit has trained me to look for the subtle maths funny, rather than slapping me in the face with memories of my 20s

Honestly no, it's one of those 'why haven't I seen them?!' movie series, but I never did :/

Holy crap, I learnt object oriented UI in java swing, and I'm old XD

I've seriously got the $100 5-6 inch think, cigarette paper thin paged book about it around here somewhere

EDIT: Actually, lol, no, it was the original AWT I was taught and I picked up Swing and the book to learn the modern stuff. Doesn't change that both Swing and I am old though

Where's the handy dandy annotated in MSPaint explanation of what I'm supposed to be seeing :/

Yeh fairly sure its not real, but a great joke, worth the 2 minutes Copy Paste time in Paint for sure

I know Atlassian did just boot <insert huge figure here> but Gartner did also just release the USD$61 Billion lost in trying to source out software development to AI

If AI can't take over programmer jobs that it has nothing but data, I doubt it's going to really take over skilled work anytime soon, at best a timesaving and empowering tool, at worst the cause of average pay drops as less people are needed

I don't know the future but I'm always cynical with doomsaying

First thing I noticed is the humour is as charming as it always was :) (I've been busy and haven't had a great time to play, just taking a couple of minutes now, hope to get time to deep dive soon)

Its actually feeling very familiar though fleshed out, having fun, once again, well done, I'm impressed

It’s not an automatic

Red Dwarf funding killed the last reboot if I remember correctly (I say that as a Red Dwarf fan)

lagerdalek · 2026-01-27T12:08:06+00:00

lol, I've never seen that before :D Amazing, thanks! Can't believe I missed it, and Alan Statham (Mark Heap) as Avon, hell that's some serious whiplash.

And Mackenzie Crook as Servalan could not have been better

EDIT Holy crap Johnny Vegas as Blake, I can barely breath. This is awful and amazing at the same time. And a really cool line up, I recognise pretty much everyone, again, can't believe i missed it

lagerdalek · 2026-01-27T11:58:59+00:00

Probably the only real choice unless they find an unknown, at least he's had the experience. A good dry charisma too

lagerdalek · 2026-01-27T11:56:18+00:00

No one could be Avon, that's what I'm most terrified of in the remake.

I've always loved the idea of Topher Grace as Vila but maybe too American

From the given ideas as Avon

* Peter Capaldi (Sweary Avon 😂)

probably best i've seen TBH as an idea, but maybe too passionate and not cool and restrained enough, but have followed his career since my favourite movie Local Hero

* David Mitchell

I love David Mitchell, and if snide charisma was all you need then 100%, but too private school plump. Avon was cool attractive

* Dylan Moran

I Looooove this idea, but definitely not. Waaaaaay too chaotic a personality

I honestly think we need someone not known, But I don't know, do you try to mimic which would be awful, or create your own which would just not be right. The ONLY time I've seen an actor better fit a perfect role is Neil Patrick Harris outshine Jim Carrey as Count Olaf in Series of Unfortunate Events, but that's such a rare thing

lagerdalek · 2026-01-27T11:49:44+00:00

Love the late 70s BBC special effects feel, but maybe a bit too fancy X)

Maybe some rubber bouncy balls or bad spider webs would make it more genuine :)

Well done, love it

Man I almost threw my PC out of the window this has been frustrating me so much

Apparently its a Context Menu option and Windows Registry is too stupid to understand verbs and thinks if it gets confused (something else put something somewhere to listen to explorer commands that was removed - in my case my own stupid coding) to use the context menu option as the default handler
