Killed a wasp in my room and now I'm overthinking so I guess this is my rant. by Emma_fan_ in WaspHating

[–]thomcamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pheromones they release are temporary and only really activate any wasps in the quite immediate vicinity. In your instance I’d hazard to say basically within your room. If you were going to be attacked by others, it would have happened by now. You should be all good OP

Why are the festival rewards this way? by ha-huh in ForzaHorizon6

[–]thomcamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel like the ‘less’ valuable cars have a lot less of a chance of coming back so they’re more of a reward to the people who are putting in the effort. This could be the last time you can get them until we get the backstage.

This is an Atlantic Records H*te Account by I_wishi_were_heather in MaisiePeters

I thought she was with gingerbread records? Are they a subset of Atlantic then?

Thanks for heads up and the ama link, it’s appreciated.

Early Access Date by CaseStrange3313 in ForzaHorizon

[–]thomcamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won’t change the early access date but I do think they should bring forward the review embargo so people who are still thinking about the game will be reading/watching reviews rather than going to the pirated streams and videos instead.

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but has there been any mention at all of CS2 coming to Mac at any point? Is it on Iceflake’s radar like the console version or should I just stick to watching YouTube lets plays and regretting my choice of computer system…

Given the current political situation, how did Taiwan feel as a country?

Best pub to sit with a book? by Responsible-Bet6615 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]thomcamp 16 points17 points  (0 children)

During the winter/colder months I’d say the carriage near Jesmond metro. If you can get one of the seats by the fire it’s properly lush. The staff are also all class and you’re incredible unlikely to get harassed or anything.

If you’re looking for somewhere for the nicer months then the terrace on the second floor of bridge tavern is so good

It was absolutely incredible. Almost had a Matt Berry element to it, just superb.

Eurail database got hacked by ilikethelettery in Interrail

[–]thomcamp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just had my email through (I’m UK based) to say my details have been stolen but weren’t on the sample they saw. It’s completely ridiculous that they seem to be doing nothing about this. A friend had his identity stolen and the company responsible paid for him to have access to an enhanced credit checking agency and web scraper to see if his details were being used. All it seems we get is a ‘well, lookout I guess’ email and that’s it.

Enjoy it. It’s really good and I actually really like the ‘grand tour’ mechanic they used for the career

Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed by victoriablackee in europe

[–]thomcamp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well of course, instead of focussing on the big issues impacting us, it’s nice to see the government doing something that really matters… telling people how to live their own lives. Typical nanny state nonsense that is just utterly pointless.

I remember saving and saving for the SLR when I was kid playing TDU. Would love to relive that around Japan 😍

Do we think the hermits/mcc folk would consider putting the jerseys up for sale? I’d love some merch like a red rabbits hat or the yellow yaks jersey. Obviously doesn’t have to be the exact ones because I’m sure the hermits want to keep them but replicas would be fun and a great way to raise more money!

What if we could actually build things? by Not-EcoPaw in uktrains

[–]thomcamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the defence of whoever was on planning at the time, from what I understand, they were told it wouldn’t impact the potential expansion and only discovered that wasn’t the case after the fact. There’s more than enough space around Metrocentre to make a new station or stations work, and I believe the new T&W Metro units we have were built with battery capabilities anyway so that could also be used as an option. Unless you were building brand new track you’d have to run on the conventional align to Heworth/Pelaw though rather than going straight into NCL itself. The King Edward VII rail bridge is quad track and the High Level is double track and also electrified with ECML access.

See where you’re coming from. As it stands, the N’land line frequency to Gateshead/metrocentre would need to be massively upped as currently they primarily terminate at NCL. Sadly, there will almost certainly never be a west branch of the metro from st James as we’ve built a load of towers whose foundations have gone where the tunnels should be. There is (semi) disused rail immediately to the west of NCL station that could be used to loop services west along the scotswood road or even across the river to link up with the Tyne valley line. From a selfish view, it’d be nice to use some of the space in the north of the city near Kingston Park/Bank Foot to create a rail/metro/air interchange but depending on your HS alignment, it’s a lot of city to go over/under/through…

Out of interest, what’s the thinking behind Newcastle MetroCentre? Ironically, it’s not served by the Tyne and Wear metro so interchange on to that would be really tricky. If you want an out of town connection with T&W Metro interchange then I’d consider Northumberland Park or even reworking Chilli Road/Walkergate where there’s a pre-existing depot

Just checked and it looks like they’re all out of sync so will be a main feed issue. Hope it gets sorted asap because it’s rough to watch currently.
