  • The Ugly Stepsister - gory parts have stayed with me in the days since

    Neighbourhood Watch - like comfort food

  • It was weird... Nice visuals and I enjoyed thinking about the concept once all was revealed, but narratively it was a bit weak and the actions of several characters don't really make sense to me in context. It was enjoyable as like a super-extended flylo music video lol

  • Yeah, I start the shower hot then gradually increase the temp as I get used to it, and I'm usually in there until the hot water runs out. I've had housemates comment on how hot I have it based on the position I left the tap mixer. But it's a critical part of my wake-up routine, the very first part of which is getting up to pee. So I rarely need to pee mid-shower. If I do, I just hop out and pee while dripping wet and hop back in.

    Anyway, between that and my morning coffee I need to get up at least an hour before I leave for work. I'll compromise with a takeaway coffee if I'm running late, but if I'm so behind that showering is gonna make me late, so be it.

  • To me it's like saying, what are you actually doing when you get a massage?

    Enjoying it

  • Prevent piracy? They've literally just created another legitimate use case for homebrew. This will cause piracy

  • Yeah fair enough, again I feel like Gommage isn't far off of that. Obvi it's ::: spoiler spoiler hidden behind gradient charges, but those are easy to stack after doing side content :::

    I just one-shotted ::: spoiler spoiler Clea ::: with it yesterday, after being unable to beat the fight without it

  • I thought Gommage was OP lol, never even tried Stendhal

  • Revolut bank issues

  • It will likely be sent to the UK, but still handled in accordance with their Swiss privacy policy. The UK entity should be well versed in operating under GDPR and the Swiss entity would be liable under Swiss law in the event of any breach related to mishandling.

    Afaik if there was a Swiss-originating alternative it would still operate under anti-money laundering legislation and as such your info would still be shared internationally in various circumstances determined by them. You would only be able to unilaterally revoke permission to use your data and therefore lose access to the service.

    This is inherent to this kind of service, not any particular company.

  • It would previous help me to regulate my appetite, helping with my comorbid binge eating disorder. I could get dopamine from smoking weed that I'd otherwise get from food. Of course, I'd usually get it from both, but having a good time stoned was definitely a fun thing for me that'd reduce my general cravings for other stimulation. But the meds are more effective (and specifically kill appetite as a side effect)

  • Weed. Had to quit for an extended family holiday. I've had t-breaks like that a dozen times or so over the past 20 years, but was otherwise smoking daily. When I got home last September, I smoked a couple of bowls I had left behind and then just... stopped.

    I don't really have much to say about it. I don't feel significantly clearer-headed or motivated. No profound physiological impact. Same as when I took breaks from it, had super weird and vivid dreams for a short while after stopping.

    I'll partake when I'm offered a doobie at a party, but I probably won't go back to my old habits.

    I think the reason I stopped is because I started taking (non-stimulant) ADHD meds a couple years back and the increase in dopamine made me just not feel like it anymore.

  • You might be right, but basically everyone is expecting there to be significant features of MKW which are as yet unannounced but will be featured in the upcoming Nintendo direct which is focused on that game specifically.

    There is certainly an argument to be made about DLC cost being included upfront (and Zelda was already $90 on Switch 1 including the DLC) to avoid splitting up the player base for a game with an online focus. That might not be what they're doing, but my point is there are things they could do to justify the price increase for many players.

    They also might just do nothing more than what's already been announced, but I doubt it because why then would they do another reveal later?

  • Have a Kodi add-on setup integrated with trakt and custom widgets. So whenever I load up Kodi I get a feed of

    • New episodes for shows I already watch as soon as they air
    • New trending shows (in descending order of current viewers)
    • Newest shows on steeamers like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, BBC (which depend on the fine folk whom add them to trakt lists)
    • Recommended shows from trakt

    And then a separate similar set of widgets for movies. I find the trakt recommendations include a lot of old movies too. So if I can't find anything I want from the feeds of new stuff, I just pull up the trailer for one of the old movies I'm recommended and take a punt on it if I'm interested.

    For YouTube I just use the recommendation algorithms (delivered via SmartTube)

  • Fair enough. I think it subverts the genre tropes enough to keep it interesting. More so than The Boys for example.

    Plus I still get plenty revved up over a good action sequence featuring an indie band I like, like Amyl & The Sniffers (whom it seems Black Mirror just discovered as well)

  • It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.

    And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.

  • I use game pass all the time, but I still have access to alternatives so I can stop without giving up treats really

  • I've just been replaying it again since it was included in gamepass - already have hundreds of hours racked up between PC & Switch.

    Definitely my favourite roguelite. And the soundtrack is so good. Haven't tried Exit since I heard bad things, and I never really got to the point where I'd fully completed the first. But that teaser got me super pumped.

    This week I watched:

    • Ludwig - excellent
    • Deli Boys - not bad
    • Cassandra - made me sad
    • Curb - hadn't caught up on S12 yet
    • The Studio - super interesting but not convinced I really like it yet
  • You can't really have a 'flagship series' with 6 episodes per season. By the time weekly viewers have determined it's worthy of water cooler conversation, it's finished. Bingers blast through it in an evening. What a waste of talent and resources.
