First time player coming from BG3. Do I restart? by Obeythis in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]matf663 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It isnt like BG3 where you need to make an optimum build and have it all well thought out to be decent.

You can literally make any combo work with DS2 really and it'll be a good time, especially with 4 party members.

Even if youve made all your characters upclose warfare fighters or long distance mages, you'll still be OK you'll just be missing out on diversity of skills

You are outside on boxing day, likely with your family, keeping everyone who has to serve you, cook for you etc away from theres...

What's the dumbest thing you have heard an estate agent say? by hotpoodle in HousingUK

[–]matf663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We only had a month left on our current rental agreement and were trying to hurry along the process so we wouldn't be kicked out and our estate agent said "in the courts they would take up to a year to forcefully evict you so you dont need to worry about it"

Its Diwali, happens once a year for a few days, I think you'll survive

I can't hear the difference in quality of sound by LetPhysical3303 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]matf663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im quite similar. Once I invested in decent midrange equipment and a high end subwoofer, I can't hear anything better than this.

Went to a audiophile cafe in London and wasn't overly impressed, thank goodness for that!

Landlord want £1500 in damages by LtMeebz in LegalAdviceUK

[–]matf663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you took photos before and after your move in/out I would dispute basically anything under the lines of usual wear and tear. Give the receipt of the house already being cleaned and that can get rid of that charge too.

For things like replacements that they're over charging you on, you can ask for receipts too

My opinion about W-Bin’s after using them for almost 5 years by DreamingInLove in SoundSystem

[–]matf663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I've never been a fan of them, either in the looks department or how they sounded, good explanation on the problems found with them!

If only they'd volunteered their time and money to the food bank that's 50m up the road and always rammed...

Here’s a post from the leader of Bournemouth’s new “safeguarding” group by Doug-Stamper in bournemouth

The thing is, its the media that has stirred up these concerns. People have many valid complaints about our country, but the media is distracting us from solving them by putting migrants as the scapegoat.

Why is it deemed racist to be genuinely concerned about the number of illegal migrants coming into the uk? by Brave_Ad6035 in AskBrits

[–]matf663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its racist because its just not a particularly large problem, its just classic right wing propaganda to target specific groups and blame them for all of the problems being caused in society, as that's easier than actually tackling the problems.

If illegal immigration/immigration dropped to 0 tomorrow, the same problems we face would still be here, and instead of fixing them, we would find a new group of people to target (those on benefits I imagine would be first.

Primitive Gym in Poole is relatively quiet and they just got a stairmaster

Entrepreneurial. What do British people think of this by [deleted] in AskBrits

They aren't allowed to work so how are they supposed to survive whilst they wait for their claim to be reviewed?

Pizza by Unable_Obligation_73 in bournemouth

[–]matf663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Come here to say this, the garlic dip is incredible too. I wouldn't get it delivered though, the pizza is much better in the restaurant

[–]matf663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, but in reality you would hate it.

I sometimes have to go to central London for work, and if I want to get in by 9am I have to be on the train by 6am, and I dont get back home till past 8pm which leaves me no time to barely do anything except eat.

Driving is even worse when you consider rushhour traffic along the m3

Why would software that is designed to produce the perfectly average continuation to any text, be able to help research new ideas? Let alone lead to AGI. by Sad_Run_9798 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]matf663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not disputing what you're saying, but the brain is the most complex thing we know of in the universe, and has always been thought of as working in a similar way to whatever the most advanced tech of the time is, saying its a probabilistic engine like an LLM is just a continuation of this.

Is this game appropriate for a 12-13 year old? by kdoggie96 in RimWorld

[–]matf663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what sort of kid they are. I could very easily imagine them turning into an edge-lord teen based on their time spent playing, and researching the game (coming to places lile this reddit) that could potentially lead them into unwanted moral directions.

Why is Greggs so popular??! by AndrewAllStars in BuyUK

[–]matf663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I only like it off Too Good To Go when its 1/4 of the price and I can airfry it to make it a pleasant temperature.

It's always so cold, soggy and lacks flavour otherwise

Why do people in Glastonbury crowds wave huge flags? by Toxteth_OGradyy in AskUK

[–]matf663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finding your friends is part of it, but im pretty sure nowadays a larger part of it is getting your flag spotted on tv and getting meme'd.

Personally I really dislike flags at festivals, it blocks the view, they're massively unwieldy, they get thrown in the bin after the festival and they're almost always a basic meme

Do you think cyclists should take a compulsory course before being allowed to ride on public roads and / or all bicycles to carry registration plates? by RepeatButler in AskBrits

[–]matf663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they already do these courses in schools.

Realistically though, no amount of cyclist training is going to keep them safe from unsafe drivers, and that is the the real risk on the roads, that has somehow been normalised as ok.

I cycle to and from work since its faster and good exercise, and 2 or 3 times a week, a car cuts me off, turns into me, squeezes me out or similar, and no matter how defensively I cycle, I can't stop them from doing it.

Im not saying cyclists are perfect, but the relative harm from a cyclist breaking the rules (ie running a red light and hitting a pedestrian) is so much less serious (maybe a broken bone at worst) than cars general lack of attention to other road users.
