Factorio. If you enjoyed Satisfactory you should check out the game that created the genre. They have an excellent demo and although it’s relatively expensive compared to similar games, it’s the best one and runs like an absolute dream even when things get huge where a lot of similar games slow down.

Jam is one of those shows I doubt many people inside the UK would get.

As someone who just spent the last 30 years in a huge galaxy spanning war to try and seize Terminal Egress from a 7 strong federation and then had a 10x Unbidden appear in Fen Habbanis that produced 85% of my alloys crippling my ability to fight them off for 20 years. I second this recommendation.

Chris Morris is a legend. I love Matt Berry but Morris is legitimately one of the most influential figures in British comedy.

Not disagreeing that Linehan has some awful opinions and that has leached out into a couple of his writings. But, the theater episode, at no point, makes the fact that people are gay the butt of the joke it’s the main characters that are terrible people in that episode, particularly Roy.

It’s like getting upset that Father Ted is racist for the episode that specifically makes racists the target of the joke.

He once made a tweet that vaguely criticised a Conservative figure. wOkE aGeNdA KiLLs AgAIn

Buy things, and receive cosmetic surgical treatments from Jeff Bezos

Lol, I made no judgement about the use of the word, merely giving the etymology. I’m sorry you misinterpreted me as defending xenophobia.

From the Greek xeno meaning strange.

The word comes from the Latin alius meaning other

Where can I get Kielecki in the UK? I have no Polski sklep near me. Love majonez but was disappointed to discover that Winiary is owned by Nestle.

What is the point of having this called Marathon. It has exactly zero in common with the original games. Looks completely different, plays completely different, setting is completely different, storyline seemingly completely irrelevant, plus I’d wager the number of people who fondly remember the original and are also interested in playing a knock off extraction shooter on PS5 is pretty close to zero.

Even though I bought the expansion and haven’t even played a single second of it yet (factorio burn out is real). It’s still the cheapest game I’ve ever legally acquired in terms of £/s

Really really well. Haven’t encountered a single game that didn’t run flawlessly.

The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they’re being told is a lie, most don’t care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.

Excellent documentary about it by Adam Curtis which is watchable here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM

Dumpster apparently

Because most of the people you interact with online, in English, tend to be Americans, so it often helps to clarify your point in terms that are more familiar with Americans to save confusion. I’ve been completely misinterpreted in the past by talking about pants (meaning underpants) where my audience thought I was talking about pants (meaning trousers).

And as if to prove my point, there is in fact a different word, though it seems a more generic term than the rather specific British English skip, that is dumpster.

The original crackdown, the only movable object that was completely indestructible were the big yellow skips (don’t know what Americans call them).

Would play in coop with one character fixed in a spot to stop them despawning and see how many I could gather from around the map and bring back. You could only carry them in your arms preventing you from driving and climbing the taller buildings, forcing you into unconventional routes through the city, often while being shot. Think I got about 20 as my record before having to sign off.

What? The BBC is, on the whole, pretty balanced. You can tell because people on both sides of any issue complain about it being biased in favour of the other.

The BBC was heavily criticised by the UK median regulator for being pro-hamas and taking literal Hamas sources and presenting them as Palestinian civilians.

As a Brit: what the fuck are those and why are they calling themselves hot cross buns?

Unless you’re using particularly old switches or routers it doesn’t matter if you’re using straight or crossover anymore.
