  • Okay not a direct comparison but if I was playing a Paradox grand strategy game and the neighbor country started getting all fascist / authoritarian, I would want to group with like minded nations for protection. Hey we’re already in a defense treaty with them why not make it a more inclusive type agreement? Personally I always felt culturally closer to the UK (yes I know not there anymore) than the US and thought many of our policies mirrored the US due to location and held us back.

    I looked it up after and yes it was I’m not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.

    One day I’ll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don’t think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.

    Edit also don’t mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction…he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it’s cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.

    if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It’d make a better world.


  • There’s a Big Finish Dr Who audio story, well two I think, where the bad guy is named Nimrod. A scientist in their stories. So not everyone thought the name was an insult…or maybe they did, huh, but figure if the name gets to be known as a main guy the Doctor clashes with they can’t really think he’s a complete fool.

    Though I always remember the cartoons first.


  • Must be great to have your feelings acknowledged by acting like a dick rather than understanding anything remotely in an empathetic way. Not a believer but thought Jesus preached helping not acting like an asshole. Oddly went to a few religious schools but probably ones they didnt consider correct. Jesus had good ideas, but maybe you needed some leeway is all (okay that’s sort of my Dogma movie take but I don’t think it works). For the record not directed at who I’m replying to just adding to commentary.

    Like whenever did Jesus say act like a complete asshole to someone? I’d like one of those types to answer that once and say how their beliefs aren’t acting like a complete asshole to. It’s infuriating. Have some freaking compassion.

    Sorry this whole religious bit makes me rant because it’s awful. Love thy neighbor is not hard to understand.


  • I’m an adult, always enjoyed milk but not much beyond a bowl of cereal or a glass (possibly chocolate) in a day. Don’t have it overly often most of the time but even if I do it’s not a lot. Still feels satisfying to have in my 40s. Of course I may be considered weird for other reasons by many but didn’t think the milk consumption factored in heh.

    Edit thought I’d add, has at least protein in it so there are worse things to have with more sugars, though yes know lactase breaks down to carbs (or something similar I may have forgotten the name)





  • I like the AIOs cause the fans don’t sound like they’re lifting an aircraft carrier. I’m more conscious of noise cause my gaming PC is near to the main tv so don’t want my gf to be inconvenienced when she is watching TV, I suppose I could get a lower sound fan that’d do it well (haven’t really looked at options for years) but most of them sounded loud when I switched and I like my toys too, though I swear my previous version was making a whining noise for awhile (pump I think) but long since upgraded since I forgot to check radiator size one case upgrade.



  • I’m in there, I feel closer to Millenial than Gen X but not quite full Millenial. Think it’s also referred to as the Oregon Trail generation, due to it being a common early PC game to play in class when they taught us computers. I still remember first seeing the trash bin on a Macintosh grow fat when it had items in it, I thought it was awesome, years before Windows.


  • It does take a different attitude to watch old who I feel, I did start with new ones and watched a good chunk of 3-7 but all of 4. 4 is my favourite, but maybe just cause I want him to be and give the allowances of old who, I do wish I watched it new but had no idea what it was back then. That said Tenent is so very close to favourite he seems to have similar energy. Though Eccleston was absolutely fantastic of course.

    All in all, the Doctor is my favourite frictional character so I do watch a lot old and new even the worst doctors (to be fair usually by writing more than acting) are more fun to watch than many shows.



  • I’ve lived where tap water tasted like shit, not quite literally but eveytime I went home I’d have to remember not to drink the tap water. Eventually that town got a better water treatment plant but I can sort of see it from that angle. We always had the big 4gallon jugs (again may not be correct but the bigger jugs that sit on top for a dispenser) for regular drinking water

    Thankfully where I moved to (many many kms away) the tap water was awesome, don’t live there now but I still do tap water over filtered for the most part. Never seems that much worse so may as well.

    Really the only reason you’d drink the other tap water was cause you’re hungover…also been there. Then you remember that there’s a water dispenser somewhere in that house cause no one drank the water from the tap in the town. Even the better water wasn’t great but still noticably improved.


  • Ya heard of me?

    Who hasn’t heard of…(Stop now before I type out the script).

    He was hilarious, but I hope he knows he probably can’t do it quite the same and maybe get replaced by the novice, homogenized milk. I really got no idea what fat content of milk is used for yogurt but think you get the idea. He could even be quite fabulous.





  • I think it could work in a similar way that Detroit Become Human did, basically a story with some impactful choices to make replayability but it’d be more difficult if they restricted it to a single person which those stories usually do, so maybe an Agatha Christie style get together of perspectives without a way to leave. Maybe close to Amnesia but I didn’t make it far in that one, I get nervous in those games lol.

    Edit if someone implements the game from this idea I’ll gladly accept a free copy. Though to be fair I’ll probably buy one on a steam sale anyways.
