Lol I quit reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing. Recently went on there cos I was googling some game stuff that led me there - and I found that the account that was logged in had been banned. I hadn’t commented or voted out even really been there for 2 years and somewhere in that time I earned a ban, somehow. Gotta laugh.

IKR, I left reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing, and even then it felt like there were a lot of bots around. I can only imagine that’s increased massively with Gen AI having become so ubiquitous. If I were an advertiser or investor, that’s a question that would worry me.

I feel like that pricing might be optimistic. They are obviously putting off release because component costs mean they’ll have to go with a pricetag that makes the product DOA. They’re in a shitty position, really.

You sure it’s your Spidey senses?

Depends how well done you like them.

Btw I have video of you engaged in passionate sexual congress with a platypus. Send me bitcoin or your mother sees it!

I don’t have those problems, I just never seem to be the first to come up with the idea. Like the guy who did the ‘build the wall’ scam. Gotta respect that.

It also rules out all the customers who have shitty internet.

I mean, we’re all going to die one day. At least those people got to go out like a Michael Bay movie.

Insomnia, eh?

Yeah, the NHS is horribly underfunded - but I think it’s still one of very few things the UK can still be proud of. I think most people wouldn’t mind paying a little more tax, if it were specifically ringfenced for the NHS. Yeah, I doubt it would be created today, and it’s constantly fighting creeping privatisation but it still has a great deal of public support. And desperate as services are these days, I’m still alive because of it.

You mean, the front fell off. . ? Because that shouldn’t happen.

That’s not laughter, that’s the expression of a man whose protuberant hemorrhoids have just burst while he’s in public.

Edit - apt, really

Too expensive

What if we sell just a couple dozen really expensive devices. . ?

Yeah exactly. New games are often buggy and I just can’t justify the cost. If they’re interesting, I put em on my steam wishlist and get them when they’re on offer.

They’ll just never . . . quite. . . get there.

“We’re not selling enough shit - better put prices up and make our products half the size!”

No, you want to be holding hands on a circle around a human skull with goat horns drilled into the forehead, the whole thing in a five -pointed star and covered with fresh bunny guts.

Your goose reminded me how much I enjoyed untitled goose game. Think I’m going to play it again today. #Honk!

I drive an electric van at work, I keep the regen on max because I’m lazy and it saves me some braking and some power - but I still need to use the brake pedal! Regen is fine if the speed of the traffic slows, but if you want to actually stop, or stop faster, you need the brake. Regen won’t make fuck all difference when a kid on a bike wobbles into your path. I’m sure they could increase it, but enough to rapidly stop a heavy vehicle going downhill? I dunno.

Edit - also, it’s intermittent if the van decides it’s having a bad day.
