In 2006 I bought a £20 webcam from eBay from what I assume was a wholesale outlet. I received a brand new Xbox 360. Said nothing, but didn’t touch the box for a few weeks in case they contacted me about the error. Never heard anything, so under the TV it went.

Can’t wait to watch Scotland beat Texas in the World Cup final.

What melt made this list?

Assuming I get to choose the 7

I got you. It’s an entry in the Portal franchise, with the “2” indicating that it is the second in the series.

Some absolute bangers in that game

The list is in the description of the video.

He does plenty of smaller video essays, but this was something he’d been working up to for a while.

I’ve been subscribed to this guy for a while now, ever since this video came up on my recommended feed. I love his soothing, almost ASMR delivery, and the points he raises about filmmaking are always superb. One of my favourite YouTube channels.

There’s a very good chance that my daughter, who was too young to play games when Skyrim was released, will be long into adulthood by the time TES 6 is released. Blows my mind.

Completely agree. I’m veteran of the OG Fallout games, and I feel like I must be entirely wrong thinking how bland FO4 was based on its reception. Dialog was poor and every mission was just go there and kill that. It’s the only Fallout mainline game I never managed to finish.

I’m pretty sure in Fallout 2 one mission had my female character fuck a mob boss’s wife as a result of dialog choices. More wild variety like that and less settlements needing my help in the future please.

I’m very sorry

Yes, Jersey obviously has different geography, and I would absolutely take the locals’ opinion on what they’d prefer. This isn’t advocating for it on Jersey, rather a comment on my region, as invariably the holistic “fuck cars” perspective get applied everywhere and I don’t believe it’s ever that black and white.

That said, I’d still rather see Bergerac driving round in his Triumph than riding a bike 😜

I know this will be a controversial take, but I live in a rural town where most houses are hundreds of years old, and like many European towns, car parking was obviously never considered during its construction. Not having a car is, unfortunately, not an option here for most, due to the town’s geographic location, rurality and public transport availability. If I want to take a train to a city here which is a 2 hour drive away, it’s a 5 hour journey during which I have to change trains in literally another country to get there.

That aside, because cars are - for the foreseeable future at least - essential here, everyone has one. And since the houses and roads weren’t constructed to accommodate parking, there are cars parked on roads and pavements everywhere. Some parking restrictions have come into place over the years to prevent obstructions, which has meant cars are often left wherever people can find a space. In my immediate area, most people have at least a 5 minute walk to their vehicle. This sounds acceptable, but there are a large number of elderly drivers that live in the town, which itself is extremely hilly, and is unhelpful for them.

New build estates are cropping up all around the town, and while not all of them have drives or parking spaces, most do, and it makes those areas considerably more accessible.

Yes, this will likely increase house prices, but locally that’s not the major factor. Around here it’s second-home owners that use them as holiday lets, or summer homes to escape from the city. A crackdown on that would have a far greater impact on local house prices without affecting accessibility for locals.

No doubt, but with 2 billion users and 76% of UK adults using it, it’s a welcome addition for those who use it as their primary messaging app.

The deflection is world class, I applaud you.

EDIT - I love that you called out my attitude after yours is there on your profile. This is Trump level deflection, you’ll go far.

There’s the projection you mentioned. You did the insulting. Called me a dick, an ass and ignorant, after I posted evidence to back up what I said. Sounds pretty petty to me.

I haven’t insulted you or called you names, I’ve just brought receipts.

“Oh no, the consequences of my actions”

Love it, absolute textbook 😂

I can see how you managed to get a rating this low.

Love that the name-calling starts once I’ve provided evidence to back up my claim. This is called an ad hominem attack, or narcissistic rage, in case you ever want to bring it up with your therapist. I don’t know how old you are, but it’s common in children, where they’re not emotionally equipped to manage the frustration of being proved wrong.

May the internet never change.

37 times more men than women 😂

I would put a lot of money on it not being an even split. The stories I’ve heard from hospital colleagues always involve men, to the point where one nurse I know wanted to add a plea in a local Facebook group to ask men to stop shoving household objects up their arse.

I think women have the wherewithal to use, or have easier access to, proper tapered toys. Men see a tube shaped object and go “yep, that’ll do”.

The hospital admissions are for removal of stuck foreign objects, not which gender likes bum fun the most.
