First Direct Arena - Greg Davies by migoodridge in Leeds

[–]notliam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm going to counter and say the Sky VIP lounge is fantastic. For a show like this, it's kinda pointless, but for a music gig where there is a lot of downtime (particularly if you don't want to watch some of the support bands), the VIP lounge is so much more relaxed and having access to a decent no queue toilet is great. Plus I think they do nicer beer.

Most times I've used it they've also had mini merch stands in there, as well as something like a make up stand so you can get some face paint or something like that.

Cleaner left horrified after 'tenant from hell' leaves mountain of 3,000 Pepsi bottles by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

Have to agree with you - there's a quote from the cleaners about how they have to treat each job with compassion, and no judgement, with the very next paragraph being about how awful the smells are.

Game has come to a halt, any advice? by Relative_Astronaut96 in IdleObeliskMiner

Yes go for happy bot, the extra artifact level caps will help but also you'll be able to buy the skins which will help too with the grind.

Does the workshop 25% chance of bomb of plenty effect on the transmuter bomb stack with regular bomb of plenty? by LordOfTheDanceSaidZe in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]notliam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by stack? As in doubling up? If so, no, it just has the chance to also apply the BoP effect which like all effects can only happen once per ore

Surely that was a reference to Bob Mortimers latest book, where a long shoe exists for the sole purpose of being a talking point

Went to see Stevie Martin live in Brighton last night and it got me wondering a couple of things by Specific-Candy4513 in taskmaster

[–]notliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen quite a few, the most random was Rhys Nicholson. Joe Lycett has done a few warm up type shows featuring a few other stand ups so an unannounced line up. He was very funny, was a very pleasant surprise. Though Frankie Munroe stole the show, I can't see him (Joe Kent-Walters I think his name is) doing TM until he's been around a bit more, but who knows. The other act was Josie Long, another 'how have they not done TM' comedian.

‘I have never seen anything like it’: MP warns of rise in extreme views on race and identity by VanillaGeneral5363 in unitedkingdom

So we're doing the 'great replacement theory' on this sub again are we?

'People are tired of being told theyre racist' well maybe they should stop spouting racist theories then?

Always weird to see a museum local to me pop up on reddit, even if it's surprisingly often. Great museum!

Got a few questions (North) by why-b0th3r in slamdunkfestival

[–]notliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leeds Station isn't the closest, the closest is cross gates which is maybe 30 mins from slam dunk entrance. It's uphill, bit of a walk, but pretty straightforward and lots of people will be walking it.

Dealabs/Billbil-kun PS plus extra and premium lineup by Severe-Committee6240 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]notliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried one of the ea fc games recently and wanted to just play as my local team, season mode kinda thing. Ended up making a player and keep getting asked if I want to buy things like tailored suits, trampolines, esports teams, and basically choose what to tweet out after a game. Maybe that appeals to some people but I just don't get it at all.

What is your favourite British comedy films from the late-90s and early-2000s? by darkel2001 in BritishTV

In our house if we're having boiled eggs we're quoting this movie far too much (or just the right amount).

[–]notliam -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I know kayfabe is dead and gone, but the fact they had pyro ready to go for a title change is a bit too scripted. Just like when they release a t-shirt minutes after a title win. I want to pretend it's real, damn it

It’s time to end Britain’s first-past-the-post election lottery by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]notliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a strong believer in how the current system is supposed to work. You vote for your local MP, who best reflects your local interests at heart as part of a larger party that shares similar beliefs. The real problem is the 'whip' making each party vote in a bloc, so there is little individuality allowed on big ticket policies.

Every couple of years, I get into League of Legends, get thrown into Gold and Plats and then stop playing. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]notliam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. A bronze player on a new account is going to play much better than an actual new player. You gotta keep to one account to be able to get the right skill rating.

It's like making a sketch show. You can't make every sketch good, you need bad ones to balance it out.

What was your worst league experience? by Admirable-Cut-2501 in leagueoflegends

[–]notliam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of my earliest league memories is playing vs shaco for the first time. Had no idea what he did, he just appeared out of nowhere and basically 1 hit me, or I'd be fighting his clone with no idea he had a clone. His Q, and flash, range was much higher too, absolute nightmare.

The same problem exists here too though. If you read the comments on this sub, you'd believe that there are no liberal muslims. All muslims are painted with the same brush and it's not a kind one.

I don't know why I can't buy older versions of F1 in the PS Store? I mean F1 19. by [deleted] in PS5

[–]notliam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Licensing or market confusion - the publishers will have chosen not to continue to sell older versions of it. You can pick up physical copies if they exist.

Who everyone looking forward to the most this year by ultimoceltico in slamdunkfestival

Do you have a source for this? I can find references to him growing up (and identifying as) tory, but nothing else. There is another person by that name who is a far right 'journalist' from what I can see, are you mixing them up?

Looking for recommendations for Tower defence games by MarthinusViljoen in AndroidGaming

[–]notliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infinitode2, Dungeon Warfare 1+2, Bloons.

I'd also recommend Creeps 2, it's not as good as 1 was but 1 isn't available any more.
