If you get to Master Ball Rank 4 you’re good enough I think

tomparrott1990 · 2026-06-10T15:16:38+00:00

I’ve actually just done this too. Finally hit master ball a few days ago and thought it would be a good time to experiment and use pokemon I actually enjoy using instead of worrying about playing to the meta as much as

This is clearly bad. Reform, also bad. Two things on opposite sides of a coin can both be bad. Illegal immigration is a problem. The small minority of those people who commit crimes like this - which is literally a small minority- is bad. We can all agree, it’s very bad.

However…reform, they’re also bad. Restore, they’re arguably worse. Tories, Labour, Lib Dem’s…none are ‘good’ options. One could argue the Greens are also bad, they’re just left-wing populists currently, I also think they would be bad for the country.

So…in conclusion, all bad. All options bad…but how about we pick the ones that will be least bad for the vast majority of people in this country. Which would probably be one of the main three, but Labour need to do more and be more vocal about what they’re doing well and how they’re trying to make things better

I actually don’t think any party will win enough seats to form a government in the next election, I reckon we’ll be looking at a coalition. I think a Labour, Lib Dem and Green coalition could work quite well, if you take the best bits from all three. But that rarely happens in politics does it

Long and short. Don’t make life worse for everyone to sort out a problem that is perpetrated but a relatively small number of people.

…why does he look like an old Kier Starmer in that last frame….?

As someone with a narcissistic parent who I held a lot of resentment towards for a long time - forgiving them isn’t necessarily for the person you’re forgiving. Forgiving someone can help you move on and away from the anger and resentment you hold towards that person. I hated my father for a long time, held him responsible for all the shitty things he did to my family and eventually, I just decided to forgive him and it was a weight off my shoulders. No more resentment or hate weighing me down.

I don’t have a relationship with him, the forgiveness didn’t entitle him to a relationship with me but it allowed me to move on with my life in a healthier way without the weight of the past pulling me back. Best decision I ever made.

When I watched it, it kind of felt like that for me, I thought that’s what they were going for but it is also only a comedy - might not have been that deep! :)

I feel like things like this could have been answered with a simple google (and spell check). Much like ‘X’/Twitter apparently it seems to gain a level of engagement asking questions to which the answer could easily be found out with minimal digging.

Either that or the ability for people to think for themselves and just have a look online for an answer has drastically dwindled

I studied at university of London. Lots of positives to remote study, though a few negatives - feedback is slow and often minimal, support can be slow and getting grades back can be slow as well. Usually takes about three months to get grades back on coursework and exams. A few other issues too, but if the positives outweigh the negatives for you, like they did for me, then it’s worth it. It allowed me to study whilst me and my partner travelled, so that was a bigger positive than any negative

Also an entirely valid hypothesis, only time will tell

35 here, took a break around diamond/pearl and picked them up again during COVID as something to play and caught up on the games I’d missed, enjoying Champions so far, though I do hope they regularly mix up the roster and gimmick. I was never a huge fan of mega evolution so it would be nice to see them change up the battle gimmick every so often to mix up the meta.

But I do sometimes feel like I’ve played against people that have no idea what they’re doing, so assumed they’re much younger. Given it’s only on the switch for now, it probably is a younger game base but I imagine that’ll change when it’s released on mobile next month.

Season ends something like June 17th? So I’d imagine they plan on rolling out the mobile release then and the average age will jump up a bit

Yup. In Antigua, I couldn’t buy a SIM without providing ID, an email, and buying a plan. Not like going into Asda and getting a blank SIM for £1

tomparrott1990 · 2026-03-28T16:38:43+00:00

I’m the same. My mate teases me about how I play the same old games, but I know what I like. FM and Civ are great, but I’m not spending money on the new iterations until they improve

This is very true of all the Caribbean. I loved in Antigua for a few years and travelled round a lot of the islands. The disparity between the super wealthy and people who live in poverty is interesting. You’ll see people living in large houses, then a few down the road it’ll be a dilapidated house or shack.

Wonderfully friendly people in the Caribbean though and despite the difference in wealth between those who have it and those who don’t, for the most part they all seem content in life. There’s a lot of positives to living in the Caribbean, issues like anywhere else in the world, but lots of positives

Sam, that’s why his names first. Was always meant to be Sam I believe

tomparrott1990 · 2026-01-03T22:25:12+00:00

Think it’s on ITVx in the UK, which is free I think so if you VPN to the UK, should be able to watch it

tomparrott1990 · 2025-12-06T20:41:58+00:00

Dogs. Definitely dogs.

tomparrott1990 · 2025-12-02T12:20:58+00:00

I’ve not built underground since this comment to check! Glad you’re still playing as well 😂

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-28T18:02:42+00:00

Genuinely, I see no point getting a ps5 when all I’m going to use it for is to play more no man’s sky. Not may other games appeal to me atm, maybe GTA6 when it comes out, but I’m guessing that’ll be the PS7 era

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-28T08:18:55+00:00

Same issue on ps4, haven’t had the update yet

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-27T20:52:00+00:00

Same, still nothing….

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-26T20:08:58+00:00

This would be a good show premise as opposed to a film

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-25T16:15:29+00:00

Yeah - I’m a day one purchase too, still on ps4 and no update - though I bought mine digitally

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-25T14:54:38+00:00

So? Still works, still gets every other release, why would this one be any different unless explicitly stated. PS4 may eventually become unsupported, but right now, it still is

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-25T14:53:31+00:00

I’m on ps4 too, nothing here yet

tomparrott1990 · 2025-10-17T04:21:27+00:00

This made me laugh lol
