The Game Awards 2023 early predictions and discussion
Not sure why all the hate towards Sony fans from the Xbox kiddies, but hey, thats just console people things. I said as one of the PC Elite :P Also theres no way Starfield is getting any awards, with its popularity decreasing rapidly, when the awards happen it'll have fewer players than Skyrim.... A...

The Game Awards 2023 early predictions and discussion
I don't think there were any games this year that deserve Game of the Year... Diablo 4 was the last new game I enjoyed and that thing is deader that last year's cat... So it can have the "Best comfy snowy areas in 2023" award. Armored Core can have the "Best Sequel for a niche crowd" award. Pikmin 4...

Ask a daft question - Get an even dafter answer!
Ooo catchy... Thats going in my moderate chuckle folder! I don't like those people near those moving parts tho. I swear, the amount of safety features we have to incorporate to every machine makes me think it'll be operated by monkeys. We engineers also do "monkey tests" where we fling ourselves at ...

Ask a daft question - Get an even dafter answer!
We're supposed to remove people from pointless jobs. Right now I could do with a pointless job, and replacing people with machines only works if the population is declining, as you place a greater burden on social measures such as benefits. If Supermarkets don't need as many staff, where does the n...

Alright yes, when buying alcohol and tobacco you gotta go through a person for good reason, if you're buying these every time you're in the shop, you may have a problem. And yes, everything breaks down occasionally. However, I don't think the rare annoyance is a valid reason to hate it. Afterall we ...

I really like the self service machines. I don't want to stand in line and interact with people. Specially when I'm going in to get a drink and theres 6 people in the line, all of whom have several carts of stuff stacked up looking like they're about to head on some sort of apocalypse themed holiday...

Because I can't get an in person job due to limited availability...
I think we have a law here as well that says we have to take in anyone. However I usually don't. I work in a small company in a technical field, we don't have the staff to babysit someone who can't do the job. I see the argument online all the time "6years work experience in the field required, how ...

Anyone doing anything for Halloween this month?
I'm going to do what I do every holiday... Stay home, get drunk with a few friends and build something dumb... I'm thinking of overclocking my coffee machine this year... perhaps give it some sort of stabbing arm as well.. and since I love doing stupid stuff, I'm gonna make it IoT, cause thats about...

Should mobile phones be banned in schools?
Well by reasonable I mean what I said earlier, something you'll feel for a few hours or I guess up to a few hours. It is still your kid and the idea is to train them, not cripple them. I understand why its been banned, I'm just arguing the point that applied correctly, it is an effective method and ...

Should mobile phones be banned in schools?
Corporal punishment was outlawed about 50 years ago, with good reason IMO. And it'll never come back. Just saying it was a good reason doesn't really mean anything. Care to elaborate what that good reason is in your opinion? Because these days, a kid being caned, would take the cane, shine it up re...

Should mobile phones be banned in schools?
Heres the thing... this article at the end of the day means nothing because I can guarentee you pretty much all schools are already doing this. There is just not enough enforcement for it. News articles have stated that this is not going to be made law (as it stands) so what is the point? All teach...

What's the better game? Cyber Punk 2077 or Starfield?
I think they're both terrible. If I had to pick between the punch in the teeth or the kick in the teeth I guess I'd say Starfield since Todd is more consistent with his garbage. Cyberpunk can patch out the bugs, but they can't patch out the worst part of the game... the story... I don't know what th...
