If I’m reading this right, without transition protection from old ESA and disability allowances, we would have been £650 worse off on universal credit.

That’s a crazy amount of money to lose out on for prospective new claims even before the new proposed cuts. 🫣

I’ve been more or less a lifelong Labour voter, but with the “reforms” to welfare, i doubt I’ll bother with them again.

It’s the right wing of politics that kicks the disabled, the “left” it seems, is keen to join in. So screw them.

Misinformation is the point, keeps the bbc comments full of the type they think we’re all faking it tbh. 🤷‍♂️😬

I can’t even remember my assessment scoring but i imagine they will mess around as well.

I qualify for being profoundly deaf, I imagine they’ll just say “oh you can sign, that counts as communication! No pip for you!”

Ah yes, because that’s exactly what i said… I’m sure 🙄

He knows his audience. 🫣

Dead space (don’t read if you haven’t played.)

Best jump scare in the entire game, was the food area where the sprinklers turn on for the tomatoes… i think it was? i was so embarrassed 🫣🤦‍♂️

And the killer was, I knew it was coming and it still gets me every time. 🤨

I just sat down and my knee fell off…

Banter is like sex. It is a two way process based on mutual respect and understanding. If you're doing it on your own, what you are is a wanker

Ja, having to deal with disability “assessments” before Xmas to decide if you get another 10 years of disability benefit for a lifelong incurable disability just cos the media and government have convinced the public we’re all fraudsters is great! Honestly! 😬

The origin life paths should have been more fleshed out.

And did we need the Jackie montage? That’s an act 1 in its own right, and would make the big job we do with him a lot more impactful as we get even more time with him imo.

I liked the initial bits of Picard S1, but the second half just fell away for me sadly. The ending was not ideal.

Jokes on them, I’m buying their cd key somewhere for 50% off on day 1 if I like them, and 95% off in three months if I don’t. (Exaggeration for effect, ofc. 👀)

Hmm, that goes both ways. I’ve interacted with some devs back in the day (BioWare’s when they had forums) and some of them were dripping in such arrogance you couldn’t even have a critical discussion with them unless you were tipping your hat and putting on graces.

I like them but I dislike the hide and seek nature of modern ones, or those with stalker mechanics (exception; alien isolation.)

My favourite is probably dead space.

I’d like more adventurous horror that gets you thinking, with a decent plot.

Ah like loot boxes and mtxs (though they’re barely micro thesedays).

My younger nephew grew up with them so isn’t bothered, whereas old man here was outraged at them coming along and still get annoyed seeing them. 😞

I love the film, the youngsters in my family are indifferent to it which is sad 😞

I’m just happy we finally got a warhammer 40k Crpg. 🤷‍♂️ I waited forever for that.

Rogue lite/like, card games and Metroidvanias have gone on my ignored tags thanks to indies running them into the ground though…

Happy International Day Of Persons With Disabilities!

Disabled people matter today and every day so make sure to promote their voices!! 💜

Any other MPs joining? I also see welsh labour has an account but nothing posted yet, so I’m curious if the Labour Party’s accounts will be active on here too?

I bought a new pc when xcom was announced. I bought another pc just for xcom 2!

I still await xcom 3 though, I’m hopeful I won’t need a new pc to run that one 🤣

I miss gog’s sync phase where you got a copy if you owned it on steam. Forgot what was it called, but it was the right idea imo.

Early pc gaming sucked too, having to read codes written in red ink on red paper to prove you hadn’t pirated the copy, like wtf was that bullshit?

Always online in my single player game? Get out of here! 🫣

Great film.

I wish we had more media that tackled that subject too - there’s a video game I enjoyed called;

Heavens vault.

Basically has you going around the world translating symbols into a language. Pretty unique.

Then there’s stuff out there like;

Reverse collapse; code name bakery, and it has nothing to do with bread…

The history channel; “maybe it was alienssssss!” 🤦‍♂️

Pretty chuffed right now, played an invitational game of poker online ($109 buy in, but I qualified for free), and just left having placed in the money.

I go home with a nice £120 bonus, not bad for playing recreationally. 😀 #poker

Oh exactly the same. 62 hours and something came up and by the time I could go back I was like “meh…”

I do intend to go back and restart it but jeez. 🤣

This woman knows what she's talking about, get her elected.
