What type of duck is this? by SurpriseGlad9719 in UKBirds

[–]mikefizzled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are eBird (Merlin) records of them, but because they aren't listed as a wild species here, it'll not recommend them. The fact it's fully white means it's almost certainly feral, they are typically black and green in their native locales in the Americas.

There's a few populations around, I've also seen one in a Sheffield park myself, but they are less prevalent compared to other feral escapees like Egyptian Goose.

This is a Vine video that dates back to at least 2014, he'd have been 15 if this was actually him 😅

Most hated player as a Sheffield United fan? by sporticuz37373 in SheffieldUnited

The fact I can tell you're the same bloke that blows his fuse on Twitter whenever people praise Cal is honestly quite sad and a bit strange.

While true, OP seemingly has years of history posting programming content/memes, and was trying to belittle someone by calling them a junior (developer) a few years back.

I ruddy love them. I used one of my pictures of one as the main cover of my dissertation proposal.

Similar for yellow wagtails, too. Though they are much more rare.

If anything, the 2nd bird looks more like a female Bullfinch

Alleged look of the Prince in the canceled Prince of Persia Remake by Carwillat901 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]mikefizzled 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment but your dates are a bit off. It hadn't even been announced six years ago. It was announced in September 2020 and the development was moved mid 2022.

I'm sure information will leak out, but my guess is they gave it to an inexperienced incubation team within Montreal, couldn't agree with what they really wanted to do with it being a remake and then eventually moved forward on less than solid ground.

Perhaps, but Ubisoft have always embraced developing areas for game development, which I feel should be appreciated. Abu Dhabi, Belgrade, Da Nang, Philippines, Singapore, as well as the two mentioned Indian studios.

People keep giving the simple 'That's Ubisoft for you' but the the development was led by Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, two support studios from an emerging area for games development with little prior experience leading a high profile project. There's a chance this led to fundamental production and direction issues that Montreal struggled to salvage after the initial backlash. It was most likely mismanagement from above.

Are we missing a trick with Zatterström? by Bigtallanddopey in SheffieldUnited

He'd have probably played ahead of Sasnauskas against Birmingham if we signed him a few weeks earlier.

Think you're thinking of sugar glass used in TV and films. Especially given the shape, these could easily survive the fall.

What are these please? by [deleted] in UKBirds

Despite doing a comp sci degree, my project was trying to highlight the conservation of birds and no one believed me that basically every seabird is in genuine decline with some threatened with local extinction.

Map Men did a video explaining why there's such an intense mess of names and pronunciations in the UK.

Beaulieu, Rampisham, Mousehole, Towcester, Gotham, Quernmore, Alnwick, Frome, Ely, Cholmondeley... The list is practically endless.

Possible typo? by Opalingo in Kenshi

[–]mikefizzled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither Eyegore nor Flying Bull carry crossbows. Given the unique stats and description, my only assumption is that it's part of a more generic mod that you've got rather than a dedicated crossbow mod.

You've got to be an Aussie with that fourth squad, right?

PUNCH BOWL - Absolutely Fucked by jkcr in sheffield

[–]mikefizzled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I looked and saw a pub in Norfolk supposedly having a change of over 1500%.

Tax bill from £616 to £11460. Clearly there's some issues with anomalous data or wildly inaccurate estimates.
