  • This would be my recommendation too. Hilarious and thought provoking in equal measure.

  • The Archers is hugely popular and I'm a big radio4 listener but have never got into it. I understand that twee is supposed to be part of the charm but it just doesn't gel with me.

  • Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)

  • I liked coffee, beer and spicy food right from the first time I tried them.

    Anchovies were a personal challenge that I undertook - putanesca pasta was fine but the first time I tried them on pizza I thought they were unbearable. Over the decades I might get one anchovie pizza a year and each time I found them more palatable, but it was a bit of an exercise in willpower. Recently, it has paid off and I've found that I love them. Many pizzeria's don't offer them because they are so unpopular but if I get the chance I'll eat them; has displaced peperoni as my favourite topping.

  • Hidden gem in the sense that it sold extremely poorly on release. It's become a cult classic since then so probably not "hidden" for people interested in retro games.

  • What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?

  • Using window managers that have shortcuts for tiles improves both the UX and general productivity. I'm not quite so elitist as to say the point and click GUIs are objectively worse but power users are missing out if they don't invest some time in learning keyboard based window management.

  • 2000 Meters to Andriivka sounds incredible. I'll need to make sure I'm not feeling too misanthropic before watching it though, since it sounds like a rough ride.

  • It was definitely quality over quantity vs the PlayStation. One year after I got a bonus I bought the resident evil 2 port for it because I find the fact that it exists to be miraculous; they had to do some wizardry to fit the 2 CDs into one cartridge with 64MB.

  • All killer, no filler - well done OP!

    If you ever expand your collection then Conkers Bad Fur Day is a bit of a hidden gem which came at the end of the consoles lifecycle.

  • Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

    Jump

  • As in which version to buy? There's an unreal engine remaster called Reload which is a full remake of the PS2 game and then a PSP port. The former has improved gameplay and the latter is like a VN with the dungeon crawling as the unvarnished original. PSP port does have exclusive content in terms of a female MC alternative story but I'd say that was for real enthusiasts

  • UFO50 is good value even when it isn't on sale imo. So much content crammed into it!

  • Yeah the satyrs had enormous dongs because they were animalistic sex maniacs while learned people demonstrated their mild temperment by having modest genitalia. Michaelangelo's David is a famous example of the latter. Disappointed to not see the former in Disney's Hercules.

  • Will steam deck 2 be on arm? what would change?

    Jump

  • Unless they can make Proton performance work emulating both the windows environment layer and a different CPU arch then I'd be very surprised to see this happen.

  • US Game Console Sales Crater in Worst November in Two Decades

    Jump

  • Switch 2 is selling at a faster rate than Switch 1 did at this stage in its lifecycle. The OG Switch is on track to be the best selling console of all time.

    I'd imagine that this is entirely happening because xbox has collapsed amongst Microsoft loudly conceding this console generation and heavily suggesting future support for their consoles will be limited. This is catastrophic in an era when many people buy digital copies of games and do not want to be locked in to a dead platform. I bought a 2nd hand Series S as a budget console but will only buy games for it on deep discount or if they have a low sticker price; the result of that has been that it has turned into a retro games platform for me to play SSX3 and the old Dead Or Alive games.

    PS5 Pro is too expensive for limited gains while the market for the OG PS5 will be saturated by this point. I'd guess that the release of GTA6 will increase sales next year though.

  • What fandom or community is the hardest to please?

  • I've just installed gentoo on my grandmother's PC and left a post it note with some basic portage commands. No complaints so far! Since they lost their phone I've not received an annoying tech support email for weeks

  • Anti-Trans Groups Want a Bathroom Ban. Judges Aren’t Giving Them One

    Jump

  • I believe it is still a criterion for changing gender to use the bathroom of the gender you are transitioning to for 2 years before the legal process can be satisfied. It sounds like the entire legal framework around changing gender is incompatible with requests like this.

    For what it's worth the supreme court decision simply found that someone's sex could not be changed legally but that still shouldn't preclude changing gender. Forbidding people from changing gender is essentially what is being asked for by these groups and society at large does not seem to have an appetite for that.

    In the immediate future sex based legal protections do have the legal apparatus to trump gender based rights but it's going to be implemented on an arbitrary, case-by-case basis. For example in the event that a trans person has a transphobic colleague of the same gender then the employer needs to provide facilities for both parties (as seen in a recent workplace dispute in Fife, Scotland). This is going to get messy where the NHS might have certain hospitals with this arbitrary need for extra facilities depending on people having the misfortune of transphobic colleagues.
