Re: General Film News

I realised he’d lost the plot when he blamed audiences for not going to see The Last Duel at cinemas - a film that had basically no marketing, with very grim subject matter, that came out when the pandemic was in full swing. Totally our fault, Ridley, you fart-sniffing loon.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

People who message me on Teams to say "I've just sent you an email".

I know you've just sent me an email, by the fact that I've just received the fucking thing. ](*,)

Re: General Gaming News

Could it not just be that the world is sick to death of COD and the change of hands to Microsoft was the wake up call (of duty) that some people needed?

Re: General Gaming News

Nothing Microsoft has done with gaming this generation has made sense on the surface. There’s no point me trying to understand the financial figures because at that level of business, it’s like pinning down smoke. Gone are the days of simple profit and loss based on selling a product or service, oth...

From Gemini: You are correct that under the GDPR, your friend has the Right to Rectification (Article 16) and Amazon must comply with the request to correct their inaccurate personal data (the phone number) without undue delay, and within one month in most cases. If Amazon fails to comply with the R...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Under the GDPR (and the Data Protection Act) they have the legal responsibility to correct your data if you inform them it is wrong, which would include your phone number. Obstruction or refusal is considered a GDPR breach. I'd make a point of reminding them of this.

Re: General Gaming News

I can understand where Mantis is coming from, but the difference with Game Pass is that all those games (with a few exceptions) can be bought and owned, albeit the digital copies, the license can be "bought". TV subscription services have a lot of content that can neither be bought digitally or phy...

Re: General Gaming News

I think part of what's fuelling the backlash is that the price hike has come after a year of record Game Pass subscription revenue. Even if there is some genuine business rationale behind it (beyond "we would like all the money please"), the public isn't going to see it as anything other than rampan...

Re: General Gaming News

I’ve only subscribed for one month in the last two years, to play Indiana Jones. At £23 a month, it’s now lost most of the appeal of subbing for a month to try a specific game, as I may as well just buy it instead. I finally cancelled Netflix this week after 11 years of continuous subscription, now ...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I've been listening to more of Hegseth and Trump's speeches from yesterday. Hegseth is an absolute wretch and his entire tirade was despicable, but Trump... good lord, WTF was that? He's known for inane waffling, I grant, but this was a whole new level. A complete stream-of-consciousness brain fart;...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

To quote a comedian whose name escapes me, if you support the second amendment so that you can overthrow a tyrannical government, you don’t know how tanks work.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Can you imagine being an admiral in the South China Sea monitoring Chinese fleet movements, only to be dragged all the way back to Virginia to sit for several hours in a theatre, listening to Sousa marches, until Hegseth comes on stage to tell you “NO MORE BEARDOS” (yes, that’s the actual term he us...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

Imgur haven’t even bothered putting up a placeholder page explaining that it’s blocked, or why. All you get is:
{"data":{"error":"Content not available in your region."},"success":false,"status":400}
A proper table-flip moment from them. Can’t blame them.

Considering starting a Youtube channel consisting entirely of a Sims house full of Saudi princes and their explicitly consensual relationships. Instant demonetisation will be mandatory. I'll call it EA's Big Gay Saudi Party Palace. Jared Kushner is allowed to sit in the corner of the house and watch...
