Out of curiosity, what is the dirt-cheap meal of choice in the UK if it’s not Ramen?


Under any other circumstance, an excellent set up to a Paris joke; but they’re right.



NoScript. It can be a little more demanding of you as a user, (I often find myself enabling single scripts at a time until a web page will function properly) but the sense of security, privacy, and being left the hell alone is worth it.





Weren’t the anniversary texture packs (or special edition, forge when they got introduced) so poorly optimized most guides reccomend against using them over moder developed ones? Been awhile since I’ve modded akyrim, could be thinking of Fallout 4.







Was already considering running Linux on my next machine. That just made it a definite. Is Mintos still the best choice for an everyday desktop?



“Google, thanks for inviting us all to the launch of perspectives! What are your goals with this new platform?”

“Perspectives? Perspectives on what? Who are you people? how did you get in here? Would you like to hear more about our new weekly meat-delivery service?”

“oh. . . . Uhm, sure. . . . Where is your product sourced from?”

“where is what sourced from?”


Prior to Podcast Addict I used Spotify for my podcasts. So, for me at least, it’s been a big improvement; though I’ll concede that’s a low bar to clear.



I used to pay for a reddit gold to support the site because Ai (naively) beloved it was a worthwhile investment in a website that connected disparate, niche communities and served as a repository of knowledge.

Don’t I look like an idiot now. Fuck u/spez


It sounds more like the reverse, CEO dismisses industry standard safety procedures and protocols, and gets himself and four other individuals killed as a result.


Bu would you stake your life, and the lives of others, on it performing well thousands of meters below the ocean?

I used, and loved, a cheap little Logitech keyboard for years before it died on me. Wouldn’t Jerry-rig it into my car and use it as my steering apparatus though.



Because the Brexiteers are notoriously trustworthy, civically responsible representatives of the public who would never intentionally mislead their constituents; nor lie about their intentions when drafting legislation.



My money says you’re right.

Time to learn how to host your own instance everybody.


Don’t currently have a group, but I’m working on a dieselpunk setting I’m pretty stoked about.

TEN years ago, the world powers signed a détente to end the disastrous Nachtkrieg war. A combination of escalation, outdated military tactics, and the development of chemical necromatic weaponry resulted in millions of deaths with no clear Victor.

Worse, the untested necromatic weaponry resulted In the destruction and abandonment of a large swathe of territory on the Asturican continent where the Mindless undead roam in endless torment; horrible amalgamations of dead flesh and barbed wire.

Unable to cure the afflicted, or diffuse the chemicals they released without understanding the consequences, the geopolitical powers of the world were forced to collaborate and formed a defensive barrier around the dead-lands in hope to contain this threat. But that is not to suggest that they have set aside their differences.

The Nachtkrieg exhausted most nation’s armed forces, and a non-aggression pact Amongst member-states of The Symposium (a League of Nations Analouge) makes outright war both unfeasible and foolhardy. Most average citizens are relieved that the war is over, unaware that the conflict never really ended.

Mercenary companies, composed primarily of battle-hardened veterans of The Nachtkrieg, have flourished in the post-war era. Hired by Nation-states to sabotage and otherwise cause mayhem to their political opponents, they operate largely unregulated; resulting in a cold war where military contractors operate in the shadows for the highest bidder.

All the while, the undead menace remains a very real and present threat to the world. Military intelligence from forces stationed along the defensive barrier have reported that the undead have begun to mutate, their twisted forms becoming less recognizable as anything that may have once been mortal. Behind closed doors, scientists and researchers fear they may eventually be there unable to halt the ceaseless march of the soldiers they left behind. An international man-hunt is underway by covert intelligence agencies for a mythological figure only alluded to in obscure scholarly texts, the first and perhaps only true lich, Zosimos The Apostate; whose supposed writings were the basis for the development of chemical necromatic weaponry.

Anything goes in this brave new world, and traditions clash with progress behind a thin veil of optimism and peace.


I’ve used both RiF and Sync, and between the two of them I’d probably say Sync was my favorite. I hope both of the devs land on their feet, they produced amazing apps.


If you can get it cheap, it’s worth picking up after you’ve played the other 2 mainline Arkham games; so long as you go in knowing what to expect. There are worthwhile moments in the game, so long as don’t expect the quality to be as high as City or Asylum.


The thing is, the Batmobile isn’t terrible, at times it even feels cool to drive. But it’s forced on you SO. MUCH.

By the time you finish the game, what felt like a pretty neat addition feels like a chore to use. I didn’t buy a car game, I bought a Batman game. Let me be Batman >:(
