OwlFancier posted:I don't really have much interest in tourism at all, and if I want to be outside I want, like the full experience, sound, sight, smell, heat cold tactile, all of it. Going outside is quite nice, I went to go sleep in the forest last summer because it was too warm, very pleasant. It's not really in infancy anymore, that was true 4 years ago. Also you'd be surprised how immersive it is with hand tracking. You can get a lenovo explorer on ebay in good condition for under 200 quid, it's a very good budget headset (I did exactly this). The bigger problem is having the computer to run it and buying the games which can be quite expensive, though they are in bundles and on sale occasionally. Still it's probably about £300 all told. There's also the oculus quest 2 if you don't have a gaming PC, but it's a bit more pricey. Apologies for the VR games chat.

Trickjaw posted:Democracy triumphs once more. It's funny how the Tories were heavily anti-corruption when Labour was in the government and are now the party scrapping the rules about corruption. All the while Labour frowns, but not too much lest it causes a commotion and upsets the centrist voter.

serious gaylord posted:I cant find anything concrete about this which is why I'm open to the idea that the contract is null and void, however it does appear that once the land registry is final tough poo poo. Depends on if the current owners give it up based on the sale being fraud? If you look at the land registry fraud website they have a process for amending the registry in case of mistake as well as providing compensation. Mistake in this case includes fraud as well, though IANAL.

Failed Imagineer posted:Mmm they were WW1 veterans, but almost exclusively British veterans (Black and Tans were Brit squaddies and the Auxiliaries were Brit officers with rare exception iirc). Understandable that Irish soldiers weren't really used to suppress the Irish populace or burn down Irish cities. I'm specifically talking about how the Irish WW1 soldiers all got tarred with that brush, though yeah of course multiple urban and rural guerrilla wars within a single decade obviously hosed up a country that was already shellshocked from the horror of WW1 Yes but there's no poppy just for WW1 Irish vets to bum.

Rejoin is not happening any time soon IMO, because there's no way EU would allow the UK to keep the same optouts for euro, budget contributions, schengen borders and visas, bespoke family reunion and permanent residence rules, etc. People might be slightly in favour of it but I think most would balk over the standard membership conditions. e: phoneposting Private Speech fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Nov 18, 2021 |

The bit that is messed up is that Starmer was in Corbyns shadow cabinet. If he thought he would be worse than the Tory PM of the time what the gently caress was he doing there.

fuctifino posted:I don't know why good people are still in Labour trying to change things. The party will always be in the clutches of the right wing, and any attempts to swing it back to the left will be sabotaged at every step. People should focus their efforts on a viable alternative, because rescuing Labour just isn't going to happen. What is the viable alternative pray tell. Outside of Scotland/Wales/NI anyway.

zhar posted:there's also the ellen page nude shower scene he got his company to make without her knowledge that hackers managed to dig out of the game files. bear in mind this would never have been intended to be in the release, he just got his 3d artists to model her nipples for reasons we can only guess at. That one is kind of whatever to be honest, it's not the only game to have nipples in. (see also mass effect cameltoes etc.) There's a million easier and far skeevier ways to do a virtual deepfake like that instead of putting it in the game if he wanted it for sexual gratification. Also "hackers" is basically just any random modder with access to decoded game files and modelling tools. That said there's a lot of credible allegations of abuse and harassment in quantic dream, which are far worse. I can't really get worked up about nipples on an otherwise barbie model of all things.

Our landlord thinks our heating should be turned off overnight (he has remote control over it - but we can override it, which he doesn't like - and it's his first winter as a landlord). It's currently -1 at night here.

I'm due to travel on Christmas to see my family in the Czech republic after a long time. Will see how that goes, but the omicron is not making me happy at all. e: I've not spent more than probably 100 hours outside of my rented room this year thanks to remote working and having a lot of work; and I don't even have a partner right now (nor any friends locally for that matter) before anyone gets on my case about it.
