@edisthebatman @ShayC1993 40, the rot started with thatcher

@ShayC1993 Complete lack of respect these days. 14 years of right wing decline topped off by the reform racists.

Why are brtish people such tramps? I'm at my fave lake having a wonderful time, and its busy with families and groups of mates So many of them are leaving litter everywhere, food wrappers, beer cans, plastic wrapping etc Is it really so difficult to clean up after yourself?

@ChristinaTasty Sony reon?

It is somehow 38c in my bedroom. 100f. Gonna GoFundMe an aircon.

@dothackzero72 @BadalK99277 Rider? Even our lord Saint Nick of chapsas has dumped windows

@BadalK99277 2026 in this case.

What’s the one Windows software that is still keeping you from switching to Linux 100%?

@EvanCull @AaronBastani You’ve clearly never been to Weymouth

@youngwt @AaronBastani if you like pebbles and shingle.

Bournemouth beach today. We need to complete the Victorian dream for the place: a direct tram from the train station to pier. 45 min high speed shuttles from London. Infinity pools & funicular railways striating east & west cliff. Let a 1000 lidos bloom.

@Heidi158963 @cra46159 Can’t remember the last time I paid less than £100 to stay anywhere in the uk, maybe a few years ago at premier inn near portishead in the middle of November

@youngwt @cra46159 Yes the cost of a holiday in the UK is really outrageous now especially in popular cities like London and Edinburgh where a hotel can easily cost hundreds of pounds a night making it less and less cost-effective

If 34C is so unbearable as it seems to be in the UK, why do so many pay thousands of pounds every year to persue it by going on holiday abroad?

@MidlifeCrysis_ Not to mention the pal version would look cropped running on an NTSC system

If you’ve never played this game, then what have you even done with your life? 10/10

@jnvcia Or hear me out, just use a 90s engine, some of them are open source!

Everyone's too busy forcing UE5 to look like a 1998 engine. What they could do instead is just make 1998 engines, which were routinely created by teams of 1-2 people. Use OpenGL 1.2, people, it's still available, and your games will run at 5 trillion FPS while looking authentic.

@LoveRetroBTW Yeah I remember seeing it somewhere but I never played it, it’s cool tech but I bet the game sucks

Did you ever play the Time Traveler Arcade game, or did you know it even existed?

@JeremyVineOn5 I voted remain but hell no why would we want to give up fiscal sovereignty? I’d consider voting to stay out to save the pound

Would you swap the pound for the Euro in order to rejoin the EU? It's a condition demanded by an EU chief after Labour challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham put a return to the bloc back on the agenda. Is scrapping sterling a price worth paying?

@tanpukunokami Try living in the uk, we exactly the same except our consumption tax is 20% and our wages are taxed at 30-42% our roads are still full of potholes ans it’s taking 20 years to build 100 miles of high speed rail

This might sound insane, but in Japan… You buy a house with your own money, and still keep paying taxes on it until you die. When you buy it, they tax you. While you live in it, they tax you. When you sell it, they tax you. And after you die, your kids can get hit with inheritance tax too. Like… bro. You spent your whole life paying for that house. And somehow, the government still acts like it’s on a subscription plan. Is it really “your home” at that point?

@MidlifeCrysis_ Didn’t even know mega man was on the Saturn let alone a pal release

A closer look at Megaman X3 on the Sega Saturn that arrived this weekend

@mvidia84853 @DiscussingFilm Jazz jackrabbit was pretty good to be fair

@DiscussingFilm Unreal Engine is the only good thing happend to Epic Games

Unreal Engine 6 has been announced with Rocket League.

@SandyofSuffolk @eric_hawkins9 My dad is at the tail end of the boomer period, and as a carpenter he once owned a speed boat, I’m a software engineer and would have to think twice buying a blow up kayak from Lidl

Just so you know. Boomers didn't have fast food. Except fish and chips. Boomers didn't have ready meals. Except Vesta beef curry. Look it up. Boomers didn't have colour TVs, front loading washing machines, central heating or holidays abroad. Boomers didn't have babymoons or baby showers nor did they go on stag or hen weekends. Boomers didn't go to restaurants. Except on birthdays. Boomers didn't have new clothes every year, every season. They made do and mended. But Boomers had a fabulous time in the 1960s to 1980s because people were friendly, respectful, dignified and hardworking. Boomers also had law and order and a judiciary who punished ALL criminals. Boomers were happy with their lot. Yes. I'm a Boomer. Just so you know.

@DanNeidle I’d do something for hospitality, we all like to eat and drink out it’s good for social morale

Reform UK have announced a plan to make overtime tax-exempt. I'm sceptical this makes sense - more soon. But an interesting question: if you were the Chancellor, and you were making a £5bn tax cut... what tax would you cut? What would have the maximum positive impact?

@deceptivegame I think it’s already happened, game budgets now around 200M so we get safe franchise blockbusters and remakes on a loop, that eventually trickle down to the subscription plans

Will netflication of gaming happen? Remember how good the 90s blockbuster movies were? What happened to them? Neflix and too much media No more risky blockbuster movies That makes me wonder if gaming will face the same, or will there be one major difference - indies

@AndyKavna The infra is there, Japan has one of the best rail networks, definitely need to promote other regions, maybe limit the amount of sites you can see in kyoto unless you have stamps from elsewhere

I think the only answer is japan making an attempt to disperse tourists by increasing tourism promotion in other parts of the country. Invest in and provide infrastructure assistance to the beautiful rural areas and encourage tourists to go there too.

some thoughts on overtourism after a few days in Kyoto. There are too many tourists. Straight up, no discussion to be had, no getting around it. It's a problem and at some point someone is gonna have to do something to solve it, but God knows what that could be.

@tanpukunokami Arashiyama in Kyoto springs to mind, most of Kyushu is very lush and green as well

A foreigner posted something like: “Japan isn’t worth visiting. It only has anime.” Honestly, that made me really sad. Please tell me again: What do you think are Japan’s most beautiful places to visit? What parts of Japanese culture do you love? Let’s share the real charm of Japan together.🇯🇵

@sdxsdx_ @lauriewired They probably peaked about 10 years ago in terms of reliability, since then they are either too reliant on electronics to repair easily or companies make poor decisions to save on costs or emissions (like fords eco boost)

@lauriewired Cars aren't much better now than 50 years ago. Sure, they're more advanced (quad-core ARM to control brake lights) but they still drive at about the same speed and are similar overall.

How many technologies are stuck in a local optima? Big loudspeakers basically peaked in the 1970s. Obviously we’ve gotten somewhat better, but it’s a lot closer to: “a couple % more accurate” than “the average person immediately notices the +50-year technological progress” Miniaturization has improved a lot, so has digital signal processing, amplification. But take a high end setup from 50 years ago, sit in the sweet spot at the same volume…it won’t feel radically different. I’m trying to think of other fields where the underlying principles were so mature that half a century of progress in materials/software/electronics is underwhelming. Camera Lenses seem like a good candidate. Non-electronic instruments is another; it’s not like cellos have gotten that much better in the last ~300 years.
