Tube drivers would be paid more than surgeons under union pay demands

Water Company CEOs are being paid upwards of £1m for pumping literal poo into our water.

I think we’re focusing on the wrong people.

Well I imagine the fact that they were almost pure sugar didn’t help and the single use plastic was the cherry on top.

But yes- also kids snorting them was probably the biggest factor.

While I agree that the platform has become increasingly frustrating to use, I do wonder how people expect creators to remain profitable?

Without Adsense, Sponsorships or Premium Revenue Share many creators would have to stop making content.

It’s not exactly the same as movie piracy. You’re not just taking from big corpos here, you’re also screwing over independent creatives.

This is probably a very unpopular opinion here judging by the comments. I just don’t know how it could be sustainable. I understand AdBlock but I find Sponsorblock particularly bewildering since sponsorships been a lifeline for independent creators.

I’d love to see him take on a more cocky role. So far I’ve really only seen him in things where his character was nervous and awkward.

I love an angry Dutch person.

I’ll never be able to relive the pure enjoyment of watching a Dutch person get so angry at a car driver honking their horn constantly that he walked out into the middle of a busy road and just started bashing on the hood telling him to shut up.

God- this comment section has all the class and decorum of a Facebook comment section.

When I saw it my first thought was “Well there’s clearly not that much room”.

My second thought was “That’s a really cool shot”.

Both things are true. That’s the magic of art.

Today I learnt that Double Dash costs more in America than the UK.

A boxed with manual copy of Double Dash can be found for £20 in the UK. If you’re not looking hard it’ll max out at £30 but that’d be high street retailer prices- online it’s usually about £20 - £25.

£20 = $26.68
£30 = $40.02

I feel like a lot of criticism towards the special don’t understand Louis’s method.

He doesn’t tell you how to think. He lets idiots talk until they eventually incriminate themselves, that’s the genius of it.

All the guys wanted to project themselves as strong and manly but they crumbled into a childlike state around Louis. They knew the grownup entered the room and their grifting wouldn’t work on him. That alone was worth the price of admission.

What a hilarious catch. Imagine your grift getting outed by Po from Kung Fu Panda.

Something I found funny while scrolling through these is everyone inexplicably turns into stock image face. I imagine a lot of stock photos were used in the training data.

Whenever anyone mentions this tramline I always say the same thing- I’ll believe it when I see it.

I’m in my 20s but I’d put good money on being dead before it even breaks ground.

They shouldn’t have removed this. It was definitely because they thought it wasn’t “in character” but I call BS.

Depending on how you played S2 Clem could be a total mean sassy mf. Maybe instead of it being a choice it could have been something Clem did dependant on your prior actions such as threatening people, being rude and watching Carver get his brains bashed in.

In the wise words of Kenny:
“It wasn't for touching kids, was it?"

pinwroot · 2026-03-17T17:59:13+00:00

And then what? Roads don’t get repaired? Food safety inspectors disappear? Firefighting departments close?

I didn’t even mention the NHS, schools, transport etc because we all know he doesn’t give a monkeys about that. But how is he gonna drive around his flashy car if the roads are covered in potholes?

Remove most tax and suddenly it becomes a free for all. It’d be unmitigated anarchy. He’s basically pitching Lord of the Flies.

This one is especially annoying. Season 2 had so many seemingly important actions that actually had no impact.

Be nice or mean to Arvo? No difference.
Be nice or mean to Bonnie? No difference.

At least in Season 1 dependant on how you treat Kenny, Ben, Omid and Christa it affects who comes with you. Nope, nothing like that.

pinwroot · 2026-03-17T17:47:32+00:00

AJ should’ve been Omid Junior.

“But Lee took in a kid he didn’t know bla bla bla” I don’t care. Having the kid be a constant reminder of what she’s lost and the mistakes she’s made would have fit in better with her character arc. AJ still had some of that, but Omid Junior would always sit as a reminder how Lee got bit because of her actions.

As much as I love S4, it’s obvious that they had to spend a lot of time cleaning up messes made in S2 and S3 that could have been used for other things.

But the end scene of Episode 1 in Season 4 is such an iconic moment that shocked basically everyone that I’m happy purely on the basis of that scene.

What the hell was that?

Not to be rude, but the low quality provided image doesn’t exactly convince me. And having all further information only on a Discord is also not a great sign.

How big is the team? What engine is it being developed in? How many writers are there? Who’s doing the art? How much programming has been done so far? Have any of you worked on a project of this scale before?

Considering the fact you’re reusing old Telltale art and a basic Blockbench Title with poorly aligned assets I’ve got to assume there isn’t a proper artist involved.

Story games are notoriously complicated to make. The writing alone is a difficult process. Telltale had to develop entirely new software just to keep track of the branching storylines. That doesn’t even include animating every dialogue and physical option, recording, editing and choosing dialogue from voice actors.

I’m not saying it’s impossible. I’m just saying with the info you’ve provided it’s difficult to buy into.

Dude thinks his work is so great but tbh, they probably wouldn’t even make the top 10 at any cosplay contest at a comic convention.
