  • Iceland Foods Finally Surrenders In Trademark Fight With Iceland, The Country

  • Sorry, edited my original comment to say I live in Scotland specifically. But Wales is the same. The UK countries mostly differ in politics, our lifestyles are basically identical.

  • yes, it's definitely the kind of humour that people either really love or really hate :D

  • I live in the UK, and in every flat or house I've lived here, from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom ones, we had full-size fridges like the one linked higher up in this comment chain.

    So maybe the tiny fridge is just your social circles, or tiny studio flats or somesuch?

    (Edit: I specifically live in Scotland, but I can't imagine a reason that people would have different fridge sizes in Wales.)

  • Deponia just has such an unlikeable protagonist, that I bounced off, even though I'm a fan of point & click adventures.

    Reus is too complex and grindy. I liked the premise, but in practice it wasn't fun to play.

    Sims 3 I kept returning to every few years, but each time I quickly got bored of the daily life management gameplay. I like to experience stories other people wrote, not come up with my own.

  • Ah I ended up hating Stanley Parable, but mostly because the developer is a troll. I admit, on a meta level it fits the game's theme, but as an achi hunter it felt insulting to come across comments of him laughing at players who couldn't figure out what made specific achievements trigger, when behind the scenes he kept changing the criteria week to week just to mess with his players...

  • PvP in any context. I find going against other players very stressful, and even when I'm winning, I know I just made the day of other players a little bit worse, and that just sours the experience.

  • thanks, that's reassuring to know :D maple syrup is good, but imho nutella is better :9

  • Unrelated, but as a Hungarian, this association of waffles with syrup is so odd to see. Syrup is basically just sugar and water, isn't it? Sounds pretty boring. As a kid we always put nutella on waffles 🤷

  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

    Jump

  • I haven't experienced this with years of Enterprise use, but back when I was on Win 7 LTSC until its very end, I did get yelled at that my Windows was too old, even if it was still under official support. But then again I suppose devs don't expect people to try to run games on heart monitors or industrial equipment xd (or whatever else LTSC is intended for)

  • This right here is what's keeping me from switching to Linux for now. My work PC is also my gaming PC. I need to run Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop flawlessly for work, and online games for leisure.

    I checked out alternatives, and while Photoshop has a few that are decent, InDesign and Illustrator alternatives are really not there yet for professional use. (Also Adobe programs are reportedly broken af when ran on Wine/etc., and I don't have 2 GPUs to run them on virtual machine.)

    As for gaming, one of my daily driver games is Genshin, and I don't want to risk getting banned bc I run it via some obscure launcher from GitHub that also makes the game crash on some new releases. Outside of Genshin, according to ProtonDB only 51% my Steam library is Platinum or Gold compatibility, 10% are various levels of broken, and 39% has no Linux support information.

    These barriers tend to get dismissed by Linux users, but they do exist, and are probably barriers to others too. With a Windows 10 Enterprise install from massgrave then clamped down with O&O Shutup, I get rid of Microsoft's bullshit and get an OS that I know can run all of my programs without problems. (At least for the next few years lol, until Win10 ends all support.)

    For now, this setup works better for my needs, but I'm eagerly awaiting the time I can finally make the jump to Linux, and I find news like Photoshop installer being able to run on Linux and leaks that Genshin will get released on Steam (hopefully even on Deck) quite promising.

  • The US Guardian is strongly pro-trans, while the UK Guardian is more mixed. It had (maybe still has?) some TERFs in prominent positions for a very long time, and they kept churning out their transphobic opinion pieces week after week.

    There was even an intra-Guardian clash about this in 2018, when their US reporters called out their UK colleagues: Why we take issue with the Guardian’s stance on trans rights in the UK

  • mark reviews as being irrelevant to be scrubbed

    as the article details, in the case of reviews flagged by devs, Steam gets to decide if they want to remove them or not, and often they don't, even when they contain open bigotry or personal attacks towards the developer
