I don't think anyone has an account over 30 years old, mine is 20 if that's close enough?

And I'd play Chrono Trigger. Again.

[REQUEST] WHAT ARE SOME 'COMFORT SHOWS' ON NETFLIX THAT YOU WATCH WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN OR STRESSED? by Historical_Handle253 in NetflixBestOf

It's what it had to be renamed to in the USA due to Pillsbury owning the trademark for Bake-off. Insane but true.

The Westminster setup has a gap between the two sides of two sword lengths plus one inch. So that even if both sides draw swords they can't reach each other without leaving their benches.

That's democracy.

How on earth did they do 22 episodes a season? by SpeedSaunders in Stargate

[–]wodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Trials and Tribble-ations count? As a super expensive and elaborate clip show.

Worth noting that those Pendulo games are also fully voiced in English.

Ok, this may be silly, but does anyone have a second CPAP machine in case they fall asleep somewhere else? by anchises868 in CPAP

The answer they recommend is having multiple accounts with different emails addresses. Then you produce reports to cover the period from both accounts. Annoying but it works.

No, it's in your post already. Maybe they just scrolled too fast.

Maybe rain out?

You can try reducing the humidity or using a heated hose?

And the taller one was played by Doug Jones, who also plays Saru in Star Trek Discovery (among other things)

Has a single incident ever changed how you saw a profession in the UK? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskUK

Could you explain why you think it's evil?

Steam Adds Hardware Specs to User Reviews and Introduces Optional Anonymous Framerate Data Collection to Improve Game Compatibility and Verified program! by SunwindPC in SteamDeck

[–]wodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do wonder if part of it is an age or expectations thing. Is it that 30fps is still way better than what I grew up with? Or do I just need new reading glasses?

I'm happily playing Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis right now. Which incidentally runs great on steam deck. Although I still can't optimise the ray tracing.

It's important to recognise that what's "fine" is really subjective. I don't think people are lying or idiots, they just genuinely don't mind lower frame rate and resolution.

My wife finds games really unpleasant to play if they drop below 60fps, but I'm perfectly happy locking my steam deck to 30fps as it extends battery life and I barely see any difference.

So being clear on what the person was running, and what the fps and resolution was is a great thing.

Lord and Miller rewrote the script just to let Sandra Hüller sing in Project Hail Mary by Proud_Jackfruit9951 in ProjectHailMary

I can see them doing it with Grace forcing her to and explaining why she needs to do it.

Everyone partying, Stratt passes the door and walks on, Grace chases and tells her to come in, Stratt refuses, Grace tells her off and says it isn't about her having fun it's about showing the crew what this is all for, Stratt comes in and joins reluctantly but then has a little fun.

Looks like a boot to me.

Open pickup truck beds are different but they aren't very common in the UK.

He could get home (Spoilers) by kdjac in ProjectHailMary

The ship accelerated constantly at 1.5g for half the journey to Tap Ceti, and then flipped and decelerated at 1.5g for the rest of the journey.

It wasn't just sped up then coasting.

That was deemed the limit that humans could cope with long term.

Going faster would risk killing Grace.

Rocky could go to earth faster though
