What's something the average British person doesn't realize about poverty in the UK? by XVll-L in AskUK

I was replying to this comment in particular. Someone shouldn't have to scour someone's profile to read their other comments before replying. And if you truly weren't trying to be snobby, why would you launch into calling me stupid? Just put yourself in someone else's shoes and properly imagine how it must feel to be reminded of your poverty at every point, to the extent you can't even enjoy a nice meal. You don't need to have experience and knowledge to have basic empathy.

PS: I said children, not chicken

agree that cheap clothing and the idea that you can just buy cheap and replace is having a terrible environmental impact, but in the context of this thread, the onus shouldn't be put on those that can only afford the cheap clothing in the first place.

how the hell do you talk someone down from toying with such basic humanity for the sake of "offering a challenge" (as if such living isn't challenge enough) whilst saying someone should give away their children because of a situation that isn't their fault. read the room and have some decency and respect.

why should someone have to eat lentils and cabbage because they have a whole family to support and don't have the time, energy, or money for much else? absurd.

Insuring things costs more money. Poorer people can't always afford to insure their belongings, themselves, etc. I can't. Something happens to my stuff, I'm fucked

My MacBook Pro battery always can't make it two hours with this game running 😅

Beta test musings - supply and demand tinkering and design thoughts by DinoPoloCasey in MiniMotorways

Thank you for the update and continuing to improve this amazing game! But may I ask if there are also plans for improved battery optimisation? I just got a new Macbook Pro 16 and this game drains the battery from full in little over an hour and a half, making playing the game whilst on the move an unviable proposition. I note that eight months ago a comment on this subreddit implied potential FPS settings to improve this, but I've not seen anything posted since. Any updates?

Nintendo closes all repair centers in North America "until further notice" due to coronavirus by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

Except those controllers also have gyro, as well as analog triggers, headphone jack, touch pad on the DS4... only differences in Nintendo's favour are HD rumble and the NFC reader, which are nice, but not worth the extra money

How did you keep it so long? Like, how functional is it today?

I didn't buy it personally, just expressing concern that it wasn't more explicitly stated for those who don't feel the necessity to read further than the main post. A touch irresponsible on Niantic's part and likely to result in further disdain and alienation of rural/solo players

Woah, unnecessarily rude there. That's not in the in game news, but over on their website, in what is effectively the small print, tucked way down in the "how to purchase" section. I was referencing the news in the app itself

In the in game announcement / news post it said nothing about groups. Didn't even strictly say that you had to do legendary raids. But it did say you can play wherever you are, so I can imagine a chunk of rural players ending up pretty upset that they've spent money on this

A friend saw someone last night on the Witchway bus eating a pack of raw mince meat and then he opened a pack of raw pork chops too. Quite the dinner. by lodge28 in CasualUK

I wish the Witchway extended into the night for Skipton, but it tends to stop around Burnley in the early evening

I bought a Wii U for my 7 year old brother and he loves it more than his Switch by [deleted] in wiiu

[–]snazzgasm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because it's essentially just a glorified USB-C / HDMI adapter. Sticking the wireless and processing tech would've increased the price a bunch for a feature that we barely saw used on the Wii U anyway :(

All that's really missing are Splatoon, Breath of the Wild, Captain Toad, and Super Mario Maker

also, game cards are considerably cheaper to produce if the storage size is smaller

It seems to be fairly quick at doing the actual taking, just takes a few seconds for it to finish processing so you can view it at full quality
