What's going on with Ireland here?

It can be a good solution but not strictly true, a good TV will actually give you much better image quality than a projector on to a wall. And you need blackout or at least heavy curtains for daytime or (in summer) evening viewing.

How big a contributor is Squidge constantly dunking on him? Honestly that's a pretty influential factor for the very online rugby community.

Every argument in this thread:

"The EU is a white supremacist organisation. Defending it is irredeemably wrong. Also, Jeremy Corbyn did defend it actually and I personally voted remain."

To be fair to him Corbyn was a lot less insane about this stuff than most of the people on this thread

That's basically it yes

Ah, you've caught me in quite the twist! The answer involves there being some racists in Europe ergo the European Union is indeed a white supremacist project. Well played, sir.

Allying with fascists is only bad when the libs do it

It would help if they stopped locking up opposition leaders but otherwise I'm all for it

Yeah I do admit that actually. And if you think that making common cause with fascists to tear down the EU will somehow help refugees then go right ahead.

I personally am shocked to find that there are right wingers in an organisation composed of 27 countries mostly with right wing governments. But you're right, if the EU didn't exist then Italy and Greece would simply open their borders and stop drowning refugees.

Must be why European and indeed global fascists are all so famously pro-EU

If you think the EU is a white supremacist project then I can see why Corbyn's approach to the campaign was to your taste, certainly

It was a close run thing, a lot of relatively trivial things might have swung it. Corbyn making a genuine effort is one of those things, even if it's hardly top of the list.

It's really impressive over good WiFi these days. Unfortunately doesn't really work over mobile internet though which would be a game changer.

Oh Christ that sounds like I've done a pun doesn't it

For one of the most expensive games ever made Spider-Man 2 sure does have a lot of bugs

You're not actually doing yourself any favours by deluding yourself here

Someone has an engagement metric to hit

TIL there are 12 Switch 2 games

Sapiens sucks so much shit

8. Elden Ring

Yes I'm only just playing it now.

My first soulslike and I was worried it wouldn't be my bag and in some way it isn't (I hate that it's so obtuse you basically can't play it without a wiki). But overall, yeah, it's really good, just an incredible piece of game-making craft.

In some sports there could be a question of what the unit is. E.g. for tennis:

1 point: no difference
1 game (on serve): almost no difference
1 break of serve: big difference
1 set: huge difference

Both are massive over-generalisations obviously (though clearly with a kernel of truth to both)

Epic did an incredible marketing job making UE5 almost synonymous with the idea of realistic graphics among normie gamers, but the "UE5 = amazing graphics" meme is now rapidly losing ground to "UE5 = terrible performance"

This post has been responsible for me seeing an uncountable number of bad takes this week

In Europe sleeper trains are so expensive compared to flying it does basically exist only for either virtue signalling or novelty factor, but in e.g. India it's genuinely both more convenient and cheaper for many journeys (again assuming you can actually sleep).

There seems to be a big divide in whether people can sleep comfortably on trains. Sleeper trains clearly make no sense if you can't, but for those of us who can it just makes a lot of sense to do your travel while you're asleep and avoid the hassle of airports.

No. Normal people's salaries are always quoted as gross annual numbers. Weekly is only for footballers for some reason (not even sports people in general).

Just a completely insane prediction. The total installed base of current gen consoles is only about 100m. You would need almost a 100% attach rate within 2 months to hit these numbers.
