I remember when Quake Live introduced it, but it never really gained any traction.

A popular server-side mod for Counter-Strike (the 1.6 era) introduced in-map texture substitution for advertising as well… but I think it was pissed on by the community so much that it never saw widespread use.

Sounds like the time is right to try again.

Looks something fresh out of the Channelwood Age. Beautiful.

“great start, now go for the lead!” 🏁

The UK policing system isn’t perfect, but the whole “two tier policing” is just a dog whistle for the gammon brigade.

…and are we fuck taking law enforcement advice from the fucking Americans of all countries!

I was reading the Careless People book about Meta.

One thing that stood out to me was the presentation of the tech early birds or the folk who dodged the dotcom bubble bursting - she specifically used the term “economically insensitive”. People who made their money from big tech’s initial offerings and their own shares going through the roof, being set up for life, and basically working for the love of the game.

It’s wild. If I’d gotten to the point where I’d paid off the mortgage and had enough in the buffer to catch any unexpected bills or travel costs or whatever, then yeah maybe I’d go geese farming or otter rehoming or llama cuddling or something.

Ah fair enough. Makes sense that it’s something straightforward. Cheers.

I’m trying to figure out why it has output incremental numbers.

It seems like an oddly specific pattern to push out.

Nah.

It was probably unenforceable, and just a scare tactic.

Still absolute mince though.

pure dead mental down the Quay, so it is but

My dentist has had the nerve to add a “lateness will be charged at £1 per minute late” to the end of the reminder SMS messages… which I can understand to a certain degree, but the dentist didn’t really like it when I suggested I get a discount of £1 per minute after the appointment time that the dentist called me through.

I know it’s all bullshit but the double standard baffles me.

Man I used to love a Greggs but the place is extortionate now - especially the franchised kiosks in petrol stations and the like.

The loyalty rewards in the app are fairly generous but still… I just tend to get a coffee from there these days and that’s it.

A pal and I went to join a newly opened gym.

I says to the dude on the desk: “How much is the membership a month?”

The staff member says: “It’s £50 per month each, or £75 for a couple”

I’m motioning my pal over, and I’m like “dude are we like boyfriends now?”

“yeah”

Turns back to the dude on the desk: “we’ll take the couple’s membership please”.

Went cross code to save £12.50 a month each. Worth it.

That second line sounds like a comedic Bond villain line.

And it’s awesome.

“knock knock”

“Who’s there”

“The interrupting cow”

“The interrupting cow wh…” “MOOOOOOO”

Odd, this article is dated April 26?

A dear friend with a neurodivergence explained her journal to me as cue cards for different places, emotions, and experiences she’d had.

Much like a great dream, most of the memories would turn to smoke without a written pointer of what it was she’d done that day.

It’s a daily list of reminders

I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m thrilled that you can write those three sentences which shows how much you cared for her and how few regrets you had.

Be kind to yourself and enjoy the memories.

Who’d have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!

It sounds like Guile’s special move for when someone’s royally pissed him off.
