    I hadn’t really noticed this, perhaps in hindsight you’re correct. Can you be more specific?

    Gareth in The Office was pervy/racist who pretty much needed the abuse to prevent him making other’s lives hell.

    With Maggie in Extras I saw it as a best friend banter type thing. The piss taking was done in private and came across in jest.

    If you’re referring to Karl Pilkington, I think he new what he signed up for, was playing an exaggerated version of himself for comedic effect and made a lot of money in doing so.

    When Derek came out I couldn’t get past the obvious, pretty much where I stopped following his material.

    As a massive fan of his older work, I was disappointed to see he has since turned his hand to creating transphobic jokes in his more recent material.

    Also find it a bit weird that he consistently proclaims how much he loves animals more than most humans.



  • Anecdotally Fifa (EA FC or whatever they’re calling it now) would have to be up there. Hadn’t played it in years but gave it a go last season as it was free on Game Pass.

    They’ve combined the addictiveness of card collecting with loot box mechanics, FOMO and moving the goalposts (pun intended) to get the best players. The gameplay also seemed pretty rigged to prevent grinding rewards out.

    Then when the new game is out, rather than dishing out all the rewards to those still playing it instead becomes infeasible to unlock any more decent players so you’re pretty much stuck with what you have.

    Even if you pay full price for the next game you’ll have to use low stat players as they only seem to start releasing decent ones half way through the season.

    Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

    But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

    By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.







  • So they’ve failed at pushing full return to office and now they’re commissioning unscientific studies to try to make hybrid seem necessary?

    These results really can’t be applied to all jobs. Some jobs obviously require in-person but many white collar jobs can be done entirely remotely saving workers time, money and freeing up infrastructure for those that need/want to go in. Not to mention other benefits to mental health and reduction of emissions involved in commuting.

    Hard disagree. Most trailblazing console ever with one of the strongest lineups of first/second party games we’ve ever seen. Yes there were some shoddy third party ports but you didn’t buy it for those.

    People moan about the controller but forget it was the first time a joystick was used and the only real issue was the redundant left prong. Loved the feel of the Z button for shooting games coupled with the Rumble Pak.
