Dunno exactly when it was but I'm somewhat sure it was by Hambeef who used to play TF2 on the UK goon server. I seem to think I had played TF2 with him when he made this and it only came out in 2007, so it'd be after that.

Aphex- posted:Greggs is definitely poo poo. I had a sausage and egg roll there the other day for breakfast and it was like I was transported back to being a poor freshman who buys the cheapest ingredients I can find and cooks them really badly. The egg turned to dust in my mouth. Agreed on all fronts. The rooster sriracha is MUCH better than the goose stuff. The goose brand tastes really artificial, somehow. Greggs is poo poo, but the value is that you know it will only be some value of poo poo other than completely poo poo. I never used to have their stuff much because I'm a vegetarian and they didn't have much (before vegan sos rolls), but yeah, at least they're consistent and cheap. Also yeah I think Tesco was a pioneer in supermarkets in the 90's - they did a lot of stuff nobody seemed to have done yet, but now they're just in this weird middle ground. Some of their food is alright.

So he's a very UKMT thing: https://twitter.com/TheMancUK/status/1156860988706172929?s=20 Led to a long thread trying to explain what chip shop curry sauce is, and the difference between British chips and American 'steak fries', which ended here: https://twitter.com/WhatEvil/status/1157028410398584832?s=20 Posting my own tweets, but I think the end part of this vid is like, the absolute fundamental explanation of what British chips are.

Yeah they had it in Gourmet Burger Kitchen when I was there last, 'hei hei salt'. It's just spicy/savoury salt really. You could probably get the same effect by grinding up a stock cube and adding a bit of spice like cumin and paprika or something. E: Yeah that Mitani chicken salt stuff is 'Sea Salt (82%), Rice Flour, Spices, Vegetable Powders (Onion, Garlic Natural Flavour, Yeast Extract, Anticaking Agent (551).' so I wasn't far off.

BizarroAzrael posted:So I have a £25ish headset I use for games, how good is that likely to be? Still open to getting a new mic. I mean, I'd have to hear it.. but probably terrible. What's fine for gaming sounds really bad on a podcast. Partially it's about the size of the diaphram - on a headset mic it will be tiny, pro recording (stand-mounted) mics are bigger. Like how you get lovely sound out of tiny speakers (at any sort of volume).

namesake posted:That's the opening to season 2. I was the original person ITT who said 'get anybody doing the podcast to spend at least 20 quid on a desk or stand mic' :P You don't need to get a professional studio recording mic, just get something that's not a headset. I know this because my headset died recently, and I couldn't find a decent headset (with mic) which didn't have a massive gamer tax on it... so I bought a $100CAD Sennheiser headphone set and a $25 no-name Chinese desk mic and the quality is WAY better than any headset mic I've ever had.

It's kind of an interesting thing because in some BAME communities there is a hierarchy of 'blackness' where (depending on the community/culture/class etc.) being light or dark skinned is seen as being more desirable.

Azza Bamboo posted:I think we could be careful about posting all of the funny stuff about Bojo. All this stuff, negative or positive, is just putting all the attention on him. It's like Big Brother: you stay in the house because you're stirring such poo poo that people want to keep watching. It's the boring guy who does nothing and never gets air time that gets voted out. Yeah I agree with this. Like in this forum it's obviously fine nobody is going to be swayed by Boris but whenever you post or retweet something Boris has done on twitter, or in another public forum where you say 'haha what an idiot' just feeds the fire. I make sure to a) Not retweet that stuff or b) If I do say 'Don't be distracted by the clown act, he's a seriously nasty piece of work and that's exactly what he wants'.

So y'all are talking about dry socialist texts, and have previously been talking about podcasts. I've been talking about a creating a youtube channel of my own for a while where I read leftist books and break them down into poo poo people can understand. I've signed up a youtube and patreon account and everything. Haven't actually made any content yet, but still think I might get to it eventually.

I live under the assumption they got told they were too lefty and now they have to make a (clearly half-hearted) dig at Corbyn once in a while and get that bellend Geoff Norcot on, but for the most part they are genuinely angry and genuinely lefty. Nish Kumar, Rachel Parris and Greig Johnson are all decent twitter follows.

baka kaba posted:I had a moment where I hoped Konnie had become a raging socialist but her twitter feed is mostly about her new kids' book, lots of anti-racist retweets though so that's cool I actually feel like Brooker and her are both savvy enough (particularly between the two of them) that they know any time a celeb goes in on politics, it ends badly for them, and it's probably a conscious decision not to. Like I believe that Brooker and Huq are both decently left wing - he's been on the alternative election night broadcast a couple of times and dug into the Tories hard IIRC. Also Connie Huq just owns in general. I love her so much.

Thing is though he can be funny if he wants to be... it's just that the American evening viewing audience doesn't want that. Like seriously have you watched any of the "late night" shows? Colbert, Conan, Jimmy Fallon? It's all just the lamest kind of humour. All the 'jokes' are just stating really obvious stuff or saying something and then showing a picture of a photoshop or something for the punchline. "Trump did a thing today, he's an idiot" *HAHAHAHAHAHA*

Wolfsbane posted:Are those the ones who don't require their members to be either Jewish or members of the Labour Party? JVL are basically saying "We're Jewish and we don't believe that Labour is institutionally antisemitic - in fact we think they're doing a good job in making efforts to stamp this stuff out. Also the other parties are way worse for antisemitism and racism in general". So yeah, JVL are not the JLM - which is the group Ruth Smeeth is involved with. E: JVL say that they are not "anti-Zionist" but that they seek to provide a voice for those who do not support JLM's "profoundly Zionist orientation".

Made me realise I’m smoking about £100 a month which is frankly loving stupid. loving hell. That's about enough to buy ~10-15g of legal weed in Canada - i.e. enough to get you (or at least, me) absolutely stoned off your tits every day for a few months. E: When vaping it, which is apparently more efficient.

OwlFancier posted:I would advocate for the approach of abandoning the notion of socially acceptable things to like and go instead with your actual brain. If you like playing d&d then good, you're having fun with people you like. The point of living, if it can be said to have any point, is to enjoy it, collectively. As somebody who only came to D&D in his 30s... it fuckin' rules. It's painted as this super nerdy thing, and I guess it is a bit cause you have to get into the rules and stuff, but the actual experience is dope as hell. Helps that I play with goons from this very thread. And yeah as a more general point, I said recently that more people should be OK with liking pop music... just like what you like, gently caress everybody else. People who get so heavily into one music genre and start saying stuff like "Yeah that's not real Norwegian Ambient Hillbilly Death Metal" are the real nerds. Gatekeeping sucks. Like what you like, let others like other stuff if they want to.
