Vintage le creuset is great. Just like pyrex and the rest of them though they’ve gone way way downhill.

If I could bear being in a thrift shop for more than 45s I would be hunting the good stuff down.

It’s so rarely the people in the cities who actually live and work with immigrants every day who don’t want them. It’s the small village people who suddenly have 1 brown person they don’t know how to interact with.

They’re called public schools because anyone could attend them as long as they paid the cost. They were the alternative to private schools which were for nobles or religious training etc that you couldn’t buy in to. Comprehensive schools, free schools for anyone, came a lot later.

Honestly, I think the bank job at the beginning of the game as part of the story being removed could fix a lot. Nothing makes sense when the plot revolves around making more money and you have so much you never have to worry about it. I thought I accidentally found an exploit or something.

But there’s so many strange ideas. Like you reach st. Denis and are able to buy fancy clothes, but your character looks like shit at this point which ruins the whole thing. Who thought that was a good idea?

The whole game is a confusing mess.

Fundamentally, the game acts like it’s a huge open world game where you live a cowboy, but in reality the whole thing funnels you into a boring and annoying story.

Hours of tutorials on all the things you can do in the game, but while you’re playing you can’t be bothered to sit through the same skinning, cooking, hunting, tracking crap over and over when baked beans do the job better.

This pretty much sums the whole game up, you have so much money from the first storyline bank job, you never need to do a single side quest and all the features are repetitive busy work so they’re not worth doing on their own merit.

The morality system is pointless when the character’s arc is completely set by the story other than the last 1 decision which makes any difference at all.

Nothing in the game is difficult, so just using the same tactics of revolver or rifle solves literally everything. Or the pre mentioned baked beans if you actually need a heal at any point.

The whole thing feels like too many ideas that don’t work together.

Rdr2 sucks anyway, it’s the Avatar of videogames.

Well, you seen what the Scottish eat?

Got recommended Pete playing risk in a world tournament. No idea why but it was one of those 2 hour videos you don’t expect to finish and I watched the whole thing and am now hooked.

Is the sudden personality change as drastic as it reads?

Sudden switches like that could be a sign of a serious medical condition, mid 20s is I believe a common age for these things to kick in too.

I’d talk to the brother about it coming from an angle of concern.

This was a presumably quite expensive one (the house it was in was outrageous) in the UK. Did our friend group’s Christmas dinner at one of their parents places in the country. Trying to cook dinner for 16 was a huge pain using that thing.

Urgh, it’s going that way in London too.

The only one I tried was so slow and pathetic that it’s completely put me off the idea. Was it just a bad example?

Not defending or excusing this dip shit at all. But this was 7 years ago when he said this. The world was pretty different 7 years ago.

Yeah, scanned about 75% of the article for anything interesting before I came to the same conclusion.

Been running only Linux for 3 years and the only time I couldn’t get a game to work was trying to play some 15 year old RTS games cross platform with friends.

A lot of modern games definitely don’t do story well. The amount of times I download a game for 10 mins of exposition before starting or not getting to play while the game tells rather than shows is outrageous.

The perfect game for me would start immediately and have any exposition happen via audio while being able to play the game.

Strange decisions with cinematography.

Fall of house Usher episode 1: Conversation between 2 people about a man we don’t know is in a strange house. Next shot we have focused on a car pulling up and a slow reveal of someone leaving the car. But it’s the same person as previous scene.

Just why? Why slow reveal the person in the scene just seconds before? We pull up to the house and don’t focus on his face for his reaction OR the house itself for our own reaction. Instead we get the end of a car advertisment and some shoes.
