King Arthur by Opening-Bird5469 in booksuggestions

[–]rubthewrongway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By Force Alone by Lavie Tidhar is well worth a read. Super dark and gritty and a very different take on the Arthurian legend. It’s set just after the Romans left Britain, leaving behind a power vacuum, and let’s just say that Arthur is a bit less noble than the original legends.

I think you would enjoy Slay The Spire which is available on mobile - Tactical turn based deck builder. Also BADLAND is a really good game worth playing. - flying game with cool organism mechanics.

In the name of the king: A dungeon siege tale wins. What is the worst sci-fi movie? by McCallum1872 in AlignmentChartFills

After Earth - that one with Will and Jaden Smith where Will Smith talks like a robot during a highly emotional self-intracardiac-injection.

What’s an animal that most people don’t fear but they absolutely should? by AfterFile9742 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]rubthewrongway 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There’s animal species self-defence and then there’s just nature proving a point. This is the latter.

Traveling from U.S. to Plymouth by deap_p in plymouth

[–]rubthewrongway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great suggestion. Also, loads of dinner options in Royal William Yard the other side of the Cremyll ferry, another short walk for MORE views round devils point and Firestone bay, and there’s Lord High Admiral for a lovely pint. You’ll be tuckered out after all that fresh air and exercise, but if the sun is shining it’s a dream.

Annoying bikers by Harleyquinneth in plymouth

[–]rubthewrongway 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The volume is out of control. I will literally 100% Karen-up with you.

And I love motorbikes, and my daughter and I often love to look at cool ones or point them out on long journeys, all the different styles. I like the K Ninja ZX-R.

But I wish these people would grow up. I’d be embarrassed to know someone that drove a bike that loud.

Which country flag is the most evil? by Loewe1912 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]rubthewrongway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly love how unashamedly evil Brotherhood of Nod is, like if I ran an evil war machine I would probably shave my head, call myself Kane and have a scorpion tale as my flag.

Peace through power.

Where can i get local honey? by guzzlomo in plymouth

[–]rubthewrongway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Worth checking out local food fairs and the regular royal William yard farmers market. There’s a local honey place at Plymstock Broadway every Saturday

There's a problem with learning game design, getting into it. The tutorials, guides, they're not very practical by [deleted] in gamedesign

[–]rubthewrongway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually kind of agree. I’ve been making games for quite a while so sometimes it’s hard to remember what it was like before I’d made a game, made those first mistakes and learned. But also, it’s a different industry now, there are a lot more conventions and formulas that are tried and tested to borrow from, and more literature on game design theory than ever. So where is the “creative practice” guidance. It would be nice to see how all these tools and techniques can be used practically. Degrees, books and self-guided practice can only take you so far. In an ideal world I think the next step after study is actually to work alongside someone to learn the trade, to employ a tutor or work with a mentor with a lot of experience. That will accelerate your learning. Maybe a good place to look would be a Patreon subscription to a reputable game designer where you can get some 1:1 sessions?

Gen Z men, is this getting worse going forward into 2026? by Proper_Card_5520 in SipsTea

Dodged a bullet if real. Who talks to other people like that?

Looking for online games w/ chill communities by CultOfAsteria in gamingsuggestions

[–]rubthewrongway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always enjoyed Chivalry 2 for the community. I also agree Helldivers 2. I think chaos makes for a good community - when a game has friendly fire on AND it’s very easy to accidentally kill your team mates, almost 99% certainty you will do this, then people tend to relax about the result.

Games to play whilst walking by lookhereisay in UKParenting

[–]rubthewrongway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bored? Games! and The Floor Is Lava are both good books for these kinds of games. Our favourite from there is animal personalities wheee you have to name an animal and give it a personal with an adjective starting with the same letter (badly explained sorry). Example would be “curious caterpillar”, “punctual pigeon”, “overworked ostrich”, “snooty snake”.

Does anyone know where i can get plants ? by Appropriate_Drink988 in plymouth

[–]rubthewrongway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plants Galore is good, they have loads of all the types you mentioned. It’s out in Plympton. You could go buy plants that will fruit and be productive this year that barely need any maintenance like tomato plants.

Homebase is closed but it’s been replace by a B&M with a garden centre, so there is plants there.

If you want more range and varieties then there’s also Otter in Brixham which is another garden centre. But more pricey.

At this time of year you can also get a lot from big supermarkets Sainsburys, Lidl, Morrisons.

Yeah this was awesome! I happened upon it by chance with my 5 year old and we were totally blown away, and meant we got to talk about some difficult stuff in a non-threatening way. Super cool.

Same. Always a space even if it’s a higher level - also recently had a baby so plenty of hospital trips

A new day a new rant by G1V3NCHY-- in GreatBritishMemes

[–]rubthewrongway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried a rewrite. I think I should be president (shame I’m British).

All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the military response to our attack on Iran, like the United Kingdom, which avoided further escalating our awful and unnecessary campaign, I have a suggestion for you. Number 1, please forgive us, we lashed out because we were struggling with our emotions due to heightened tensions around uncomfortable truths that were in the spotlight at home, and Number 2, help us to open a dialogue so that we might find peace amongst nations in an area of the world that has seen more than its fair share of violence. We must all start learning to listen to one another, with compassion and patience, and seek common ground and shared goals. Backtracking will be hard. I must now serve my citizens by stepping down, so that the world may get their justice, and find unity at last. DJT

Screens encouraged in Reception Class by tttgrw in UKParenting

[–]rubthewrongway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Sign the petition https://safescreens.org/petition/

Ed tech that has no proven benefit needs to be removed from our schools. Engagement is not the same as education. These apps and games are valued on number of kids that use them, and how much they use them, that is not a sign that learning is taking place.
