Yes, 20mph zones on a nationwide basis are a fairly new occurrence here. Wales rolled them out a year or two ago, and they're being rolled out in Scotland now.

Fuckin' love ULEZ. I know it's a largely unpopular opinion outside of this comm, but I like how peaceful it is, how quiet it is, and how chill it is. It's nice driving a low emissions vehicle through it on the rare occasions I have access to it.

Fuckin' love the new 20 zones being rolled out too. The only folk I've heard complain about it are those who generally can't plan anything beyond a pissup in a brewery. It's more relaxing to drive at 20, it feels safer going past pedestrians and cyclists, and it feels less hostile to other road users.

By extension, I love the trend towards paving over city centre roads and only letting mass transit vehicles or cyclists along them with pedestrians. It's much more fun to walk down - or from my niche view - run down iconic city centre locations without being irritating to other pedestrians on pavements or at risk of being struck by a vehicle on the side of the road.

In fairness, they had some graphics options in where you could manually set the draw distance - and thus, the tradeoff for frame rate - on a slider. Fortunately, the targeting button worked even when the draw distance was set super close and enemies were culled by the engine, so with a change of play style one could enjoy the game at a sensible pace.

I still remember mission 9 though - collecting the bombs and dropping them safely elsewhere. That was infuriating.

Absolutely keeping an eye on this.

G-Police was fantastic - it was somewhat hamstrung on PS1 by the technical limitations, but the story was absolutely phenomenal. I need to go back and play it - and eventually play Weapons of Justice too.

Fingers crossed for this game.

Oh that sucks. I bought a multi pack of bin bags (or trash liner or whatever they're called across the pond). I've used the company for years because the bag material is fairly thick, and it doesn't just perish away if any liquids sit at the bottom. Decent quality.

This batch though must have been produced when the machine that seals the bottom and perforates it 5mm below the seal, must have been needing a service. The perforations looked like faint dents in the plasticy material, which meant that when you tried to rip a bag off the roll, it just stretched the plastic rather than tear off cleanly along the dotted line of perforations. It meant that rather than just fucking one bag up, it often pulled across the seam of the next one, making two bags useless.

The whole multipack was fucked and it was infuriating. I can only imagine the machine's perforating teeth were blunt as fuck.

Little things.

Sounds like the Clint game in the 80's and 90's UK. Heartwarming childish tomfoolery.

Yeah I mean I can see how someone would like it, just not my thing. Good for her 😊

A girl I used to date had a bit of a crush fetish. Not in a "physical compression torture" way or the super weird "killing animals or insects underfoot" way (yes I am kink shaming on this one specific occasion) or even the "positively excited about flower pressing" way.

More like having to squeeze past their partner in a narrow hallway, or being next to their significant other in a crowded tube train, or being in an embrace with their partner in a bed pushed up against a wall.

It was certainly interesting. Not for me though, I'm not claustrophobic but I'm still not a fan of not having anywhere to move, weightycuddles or not!

For those in the queue with accessibility or additional needs.

In fairness, Radium Girls would be an absolutely banging band na....oh someone's had that thought, of course!

Hey that's as good a reason as any!

Nah I used to use the same username for most services out of convenience and laziness, but looking back one could find out a lot about me just from one username so I decided to start afresh.

If you're into video games, Phobos Anomaly was the name of the last map in the first Doom episode 😊

It's King Marc to you bruh
