    Shouldn’t We Be Having More Fun in Middle Earth?
  • I tried watching the first 10 minutes on my phone, it's all black, I can't see a thing. Presuming some fighting is happening from the squelching noises.

    Anon makes a deal with a demon
  • For a while I thought you were talking about the small hoop crisps that we get in the UK and I couldn't work out why that would help.

    The world's largest single-capacity floating wind platform has two turbines
  • What part of this don't you understand? If two turbines is good, and three turbines is better, obviously five turbines would make us the best fucking wind platform that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the wind platform game by clinging to the two-turbine industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five turbines is the biggest chance of all.

    Tori Amos - Winter
  • Something about this song, the melody, the words, just really speaks to me.

    "When you gonna love you as much as I do", such a simple line but so powerful

    The 10 worst science fiction movies of all time
  • The fourth item on the list, they're referring to a film that doesn't actually exist, never has and never will exist.

    The Highlander series went straight from 1 to 3 due to a historical accident.

    Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?
  • I did some hip thrusts in the gym, thought it might be easier/more comfy to use a power bag instead of a barbell so I did that.

    It probably was comfier, but what I didn't take into account is that the bag rests on your groin and it looks very much like you're just lying in the gym humping a big pillow.

    Stick to the barbell!

  • How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.

    I'm not 5G enabled yet so theoretically 4G+ should be my fastest connection speed. However, on O2 I find that it's effectively the same as having no connection at all, and often end up shifting down to 3G just to get some connection.

    This can't be right, I feel like I've forgotten a setting or something! Has anyone managed to figure it out, or maybe first does anyone else have the same issue?

    Having trouble phrasing this, so in case it's not clear I'm not looking for casual misogyny thanks

    Having a debate with a friend about whether men shopping with women can be fun and I'm wondering how coloured my view of this is by me and my ex.

    I'd love to hear what makes a great shopping experience for you with your friends or significant others!

    I was driving round the M25 and there was an accident in front of me, I could still get round so I slowed down, put hazards on but drove past and carried on my way.

    What's the actual protocol in those situations? I could see all the airbags were deployed, there's nothing I could do for the people inside and for sure getting out on a motorway is a bad idea.

    But I feel like I should have done something different. Can anyone with knowledge enlighten me?

    My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

    Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

    Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

    Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

    I started playing at the weekend with my teenagers, we've agreed to only play DRG when we're together so no-one goes off ranking up too fast which is what happened when we played Valorant.

    We've selected classes somewhat randomly, I'm playing engineer, they are driller and gunner.

    After about 3 or 4 missions they've got to rank 4 and I'm still on 3. I feel like they're getting more kills because they have more killy weapons (waaagh), is that what the rank system is based on?

    If so, have I chosen a class which is slower going or gets better late game? Or, does it not really matter as much as I think? I can see that ranking up means better upgrades, presumably therefore more kills so it could be a feedback loop.

    Overall we've found it to be great fun as well as a kind of chaotic, screaming mess!

    Fed yesterday, 2 hours at room temp and then in the fridge. She's actually got a bit bigger than I would like already so maybe straight in the fridge next time?

    So, hear me out.

    I'm a 47 year old guy and I'm not ashamed to say that I enjoy video games. I always have, from playing Head over Heels on a Speccy +2 to ESO and Valorant on my self built PC.

    Due to various life circumstances, I'm also on the dating scene and to most women I meet, around my age, video games are anathema. When I say that I like them it's usually meet with an "oh dear" or a "my son would probably love to talk to you about them, I find them really boring"

    I have two boys, both teenagers, both play all the time and sometimes we all play together (although they are better as they have more time to apply to games). Their friends are amazed that I will talk about games with them, that I know someone about games and that I play games. None of their parents want to talk with them about what is effectively their main hobby that they do all the time (big sad).

    So the question, there must be some sort of cut off age at which video games are no longer an acceptable pastime. Is it absolute age based (nothing after 35) or is it something to do with the progression of games into popular culture and people born after, say, 1986 will not see it as unacceptable?

    I don't have an answer, I just think it's an interesting question. Thanks for reading, let me know what you think!

    Edit to add: I'm not planning on stopping through peer pressure, just wondering about the phenomenon!

    Not sure how much the seller understands about the process!
