I get that vibe. I’ve seen a different photo with an extremely similar background that was definitely AI. This is kind of the most average looking UK houses, no house numbers, no logo on the security decide. Definitely suspicious.

British, yeah. We just didn’t anticipate cereal being so sugary. I also couldn’t handle the drinks either lol. Seeing so many people drinking these huge drinks and knowing it was real sugar and not even a substitute is honestly one of my main memories of being in the US, which feels pretty sad. Amazing views at least!

I remember visiting some friends in the US they were so excited to have us try all the famous cereal brands like Fruit Loops etc. It was so sugary it was totally inedible to us, absolutely disgusting.

That said there obviously is cereal out there that can be eaten healthily.

That’s fair. I don’t have the knowledge to back it up but I would assume that a reduction in knife-based hospitalisations represents a reduction in gang violence even if there is still a lot of individual knife crime.

Thanks for clarifying and sorry for speaking for you 😅

To be fair, as far as I can tell the stats here are a bit misleading. Hospital visits from kinfe crime are down, but general knife crime was at its highest in 2025. I don’t know what the specifics are of that though.

I think that’s exactly what they meant, and that they would be troubled by a headline that challenges their world view.

I’d like to think that the person from feddit.uk knows that! I obviously don’t know you’re background either but FYI I’d say that this sentence does just refer to a generally conservative person. In the UK we don’t really refer to individuals by their party name directly like Republican/Democrat in the US etc. Someone who literally votes Conservative you might refer to as a tory, though there’s not really parallels to other political parties. Sorry if this not news to you!

What was the free experience like prior to this? I paid for it ages back and haven’t really thought about it. I can’t remember what I even gained from doing that.

I got a little under half in the first two, which I’m very happy with haha. JS certainly has some quirks, but you’ve really got to go looking for them IMO. TypeScript resolves most of these issues with comparing types, and the rest aren’t that unique to JS.

Yeah I mean can you imagine working on a big contender for the game of the decade, and being kicked out at the final hurdle?

I understand that feeling and a lot of people shared it, but I was someone that loved it regardless despite generally being a controller gamer as well.

I think to get a good experience you had to be very willing to play with the settings a lot. Not unlike the Deck now, but the software wasn’t as accessible and the users not as accustomed to it. Of course it would never feel the same no matter what, but it was definitely responsive!

Hollow Knight. Didn’t click for me. Don’t think I really like Metroidvania games generally, it just often plays out as lazy game design to me.

What about multiple servings of macaroni and cheese??

There is this (slow moving, far off) EU project that hopes to bring a new standard. It doesn’t read like they’ve got a complete solution at all, but the principles are comforting at least!

Oh interesting, I had Dishonored on PC and didn’t remember it being so bad. And I know what you mean, the controls feel so off beat though it’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is. Some kind of acceleration/mapping function thing. I like to use motion controls for ADS as well and those were very sensitive.

I had it on PlayStation a while back. Really enjoyed so much about it, but ultimately found the controls on console to just be unbearable.

It’s rose-tinted glasses in play as well. I have many fond memories of my university days and deeply miss all the time I had with my friends that I now rarely see. I would encourage any student to cherish that aspect. There were many, many, difficult aspects of that time as well though, and a decade or so on I deeply appreciate the autonomy I have now.

Farrow & Ball go further by just calling their salmon paint colour “Dead Salmon”.

Okay sure I can get behind that. I guess I just like the handle to be a consistent shape because I like to have some precision at the back too, palm or pinky.
