Something about Agatha Christie.

I was in the signals corps as a cadet and every time I hear it... grrr...

Over and out!

It's such a legendary bit of misinformation that it gets an explicit mention on the Wikipedia page!

Incidentally, the carbon-fibre pistol from The Dark Knight isn't a real thing either 😉

If it's any consolation, this is why I don't use VSCode at work. I got sick of trying to figure out what it was playing at with regards to virtual environments. PyCharm is my go-to.

It's so strange to me that so many of these got made. Anyone could see they were going to be terrible and die on their arses and yet they continued to plough time and talent into them. What a waste of everyone's time.

Nope, that's a line in Die Hard 2 that the armourer hated.

Ugh, wow. That's a terrible distribution approach.

Samsung and Google? Two companies well known for maintaining tech long term rather than getting bored within a few months.

I don't, because if that happens either others will have done a more thorough job (because it's something they care about - I have my own obsessive areas that I'm the one doing that stuff for), or if they haven't then I have much bigger problems to deal with (e.g. war in Europe).

I've fired up What Remains of Edith Finch and handed it to my teenaged niece. That seems to be going well.

I finally lost patience with almost every interaction on Reddit becoming a knife fight. No other platform I use(d) is like that. I'd post something, reply to something, or whatever and invariably someone would be needlessly aggressive and hostile. Any attempts to engage on anything beyond a surface level were either mocked or misunderstood ("it's not that deep bro" - get out of here with that attitude). In general it was socially exhausting and I was tired of it.

I've not found that's the case here, so this is what I use instead.

British children have notes.

Demand all you want, you orange twat.

I'd rather he not reign anything.

I am thoroughly confused by both your replies now. I haven't got a platform they sell games for, AFAIK, but I had one. This generation they've failed to provide enough to get me to buy anything from them.

I had Xbox game pass for a while (I converted XBL time for a token amount) but once it ended last year I couldn't see any reason to pay the asking price. I've been waiting on this generation but it looks like it's not going anywhere interesting.

I don't have a Windows PC though?

I've got an Xbox One X, and have had since 2018. I'm still waiting on a reason to care about the current generation of consoles.

The fact that you guys couldn't put an end to this guy's career is astounding.
