My job is half field based, half desk based. That, and I study part time too, so the simple unhelpful answer is the same: I don’t.

Recently I’ve taken to building a list of five or six games I’m interested in, booking a week or two off work in the summer, buying a month of Game Pass and just hooning through the games, and if I’ve got any time left then I’ll smash through some Doom WADs and that’s me.

Otherwise, I try and stay away from screens and try to read or run more.

Or worse, the US telecom franchise 😭

Yeah, a bit of sense is all you need. I’ve not used spoofing tools but a few of my friends have - we live rural too and it revolutionises the game. Even our local small city centre isn’t really raid friendly - it’s not like you can hang a out Times Square and literally walk into a full raid whenever you like.

That said, the weekly Pokémon Club in rural areas is a great social, and mons tend to stay in gyms for more than twelve seconds making it a bit easier to get pokecoins. The game is still heavily skewed towards city centres though.

The modern day spoofing apps are really quite impressive. Teleportation or time travelling generally gets you an account strike fairly quickly, but some of the cleverer automatic walking functions are really quite cool.

It’ll be interesting to see a Waymo or Tesla FSD follow the path of a few Pokémon Go spoofers through buildings or directly across a field.

I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?

Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?

Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?

It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!

Reminds me of the classic JFK Reloaded. Decent for it’s time.

I’ve got one and it’s cool… but that’s about it.

It’s starting to chug now with modern apps (or legacy apps with new updates), the touchscreen is becoming increasingly unresponsive, that battery health is starting to go off a cliff… but all those factors can be levelled at any two or three year old phone.

The hinge is the problem. My understanding is that Samsung has made a better design for the SGF 5 and 6, but i’m already on my second phone after the hinge caused the phone screen to bleed out from the centre, and I’m getting the crackle of doom from the hinge starting to sound already.

If you’re desperate for a flip phone, then I’d advise you stay clear of the SGF3 and consider the Oppo Find N2 or the Nubia Flip.

To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it’s some sort of “gotcha” or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.

I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.

I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?

Depending on the size of the organisation or how it’s funded if it’s public sector, then it may well be the “restructuring” that’s holding it up - and by that, I mean there are probably teams and managers screaming out for funded posts to be filled, but a blanket ban on recruitment may be in force while someone with a fancy title figures out the shit state of their staffing affairs.

I’ve had times when I’ve had 40% of my team’s positions open, and when I’ve asked for authority to recruit for already funded posts (probably for budget reasons), I’ve been knocked back because “nah fuck you, we’re waiting on the staffing review being completed”. I don’t really give a fuck about the future plans, I’m wanting to recruit for the posts we have now!

It’s frustrating friend. Shit doesn’t make sense.

I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.

my condolences, friend

Fair play, I love how the community has taken on remastering duties over the years.

Fallout New Vegas is basically a different game with the QoL mods installed, and Descent was actually enjoyable on modern hardware with Rebirth.

I never thought I’d say this but I’m actually quite looking forward to playing Sonic 2006 as Project 06.

I was brought up on C, did a module of Java at uni, and am doing an algorithms course which is python heavy.

My other half - who’s quite handy with Python - looks in sheer horror at my code which is littered with semicolons.

I was stumped for half an hour figuring out why the Python interpreter was bouncing an error before it had even reached the main program logic… turns out a { before the block of code royally ruins the interpreter’s day.

Still, I live and learn.

Casio F-91W - the undisputed ruler of functional wristwatches.

A bit of a narrow audience, but I bought The id Anthology - basically a greatest hits collection of id Software’s games up to Quake.

I bought it for a laugh really a few months after it came out for about £25, and kept the cool trinkets inside it.

These days, it’s worth anything from fifteen times that to fifty times that, judging by eBay’s completed listings.

It’s cool, and I’ve no plans to flog it, but it’s nice to know that there’s a small holiday’s worth of funds tied up in it.
