TV Tuesday?
  • I've not watched a whole lot recently (unless we're counting random crap on YouTube...)

    I have started FUBAR however, and I'm only 3 episodes in but it's really good. I love Arnie, so that might swing my opinion a bit. Looking forward to finishing it off though!

  • Monday Musing

    Alright refugees!

    I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

    What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

    Upcoming Starfield / Xbox Games Showcase

    It’s less than a week until Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct - here's how you can join us live to watch our huge double feature.

    How to Watch the Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct Double Feature on Sunday - Xbox Wire

    The Starfield/XGS stream is tomorrow (11th June) and I'm very excited!

    I've been anticipating Starfield for a very long time and it's the game I'm most looking forward to. I'm really excited to see what gets shown tomorrow, I'm sure it'll only build the hype further for me.

    In terms of the general XGS, I'm expecting more Forza Motorsport information, maybe a release date? I think we could also hear a little teaser about Fable. Overall, really interested to see where this show goes!

    What are your predictions?

    In response to the disastrous Spez AMA, /r/Videos have announced that they will permanently shut down on 11th June, one day ahead of the planned blackout
  • I think any and all subreddits should go this way.

    Reddit is only popular because of the users. We create the content. Yes, a lot of posts on the website are external links but all discussions are generated and concluded by us, the users.

    Shutting subs down for 1-2 days and going back to normal is not going to have much of an impact. It's akin to a server blip. If subs shut down indefinitely then reddit has a real problem. 'Normal' users will start to take notice, whereas they currently might not be paying much attention. These subs should go the other route. Shut down and promote alternatives (such as lemmy!) to divert traffic away from reddit.

    Pigboy Spez talked about not being profitable. No shit, you dick. This is how you become even less profitable, by pissing off the entire user base.

  • What's something fun you have planned this summer?
  • I've just recently passed my driving test and bought a car, so plenty of little trips around the Peak District & Yorkshire Dales I think this summer! Might try and venture up to the Lakes too.

    Having a car feels so strange, considering I'm a little late to driving - so much freedom!

  • What are your hot tips when travelling by airplane?
  • I'm a hand luggage only kinda guy. Easy on, easy off, no faff with the conveyor at the end.

    I'm a pretty good flyer anyway, so I just make sure I'm wearing something comfy, my AirPods are charged and I've got something I want to listen to on my phone. Depending on the length of your flight, I think it's always worth having a bottle of water to bring on from the airport, or buying one on board. It can get dry in the sky!

    I have debated buying an iPad recently, not for flying/travel but just general usage - however, I think an iPad would be a great addition on a longer flight. Pop a movie on!

  • Boris Johnson standing down from UK parliament
  • Good. I think this is a dangerous time, though.

    I can see him & other tearaway Tories setting up an even worse party and trying to bring over there diehards. Him and his cronies have tasted blood (read: stealing from and fucking the public) and in my opinion, that isn't something they are going to want to give up completely.

    General election can't come soon enough.

  • For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?
  • It's really interesting and I think has a huge potential to work out really well.

    All these little instances being able to interact with each other seamlessly is really cool. It's seeming quite easy to curate communities I'm interested in and I think once it's a little more fleshed out, there'll be go-to communities for certain things which everyone from all instances uses. It's really cool.

  • Desktop GPU Sales Lowest in Decades: Report
  • Makes sense considering how bloody expensive they are in a time of economic shittery.

    I’d love to upgrade, but when I think about it logically there’s absolutely no point. My rig works fine for what I play right now, and the value just isn’t there in a new GPU for me.

  • Saturday chat thread
  • I woke up to a load of noise downstairs, went to investigate assuming it was my cat… who I couldn’t see. No problem, I thought.

    Stood in the kitchen making a cuppa and I hear a very sorry meow, so obviously assumed my poor boy was hurt!

    No. Completely wrong. Some random cat is sat on the windowsill in my living room. Dead lovely little thing that enjoyed a bit of fuss before I let it back out into the world!
