Pennis Station a bit too obvious?

It's funny, because a boy I used to work with in a major UK city centre with lots of traffic congestion used to say "go for the gap in front of the ones with a nice car, they'll stop".

I miss the Directory listings of a search engine. It was great for finding a series of niche sites based on "Quake III news" or "Subaru Impreza owners club" or such like.

SEO has ruined the web 1.0 efforts to just shotgun news and opinion onto the web (fact checking was purely optional) - everything's just a bit too clean and corporate now. Shame.

That's a banger of a story. What a lad! He didn't half talk some shit but he was a British mainstay, fair play to him.

There's a generation or three of British folk that hear that bass solo and can only think of Formula One.

It's just missing an extra bollock and you'// have yourself a massive TP dong. nice.

edit: fucking on-screen keyboard did me dirty, I'm keeping it though.

That's utterly bizarre. I can see why some tosser would come up with the idea of jacking up the prices, but my experience of most major events like the Olympics or the Commonwealth Games is that most transport is either included in your ticket, or just outright free.

Even when I've been living close to an event, I've not had the bad experience of paying inflated prices - rather just benefitted from the free shuttle buses that float about instead.

That's some next level shithousery by that bus firm.

That was the point where I thought "this guy is a wanker... but he's right"

I'd love to see the YouTube analytics of a handful of really popular videos that have embedded sponsors. Even before the "jump ahead" feature, there must be a massive drop-off of people who just skip five or ten seconds ahead until the sponsor isn't showing again.

We're the Roving Chess Gang!

That's us, and we rule!

Fallout 3 gave me one of the biggest laughs I've had in years when a door was opened in an urban area, only to reveal a wall behind it with "fuck you" sprayed on it.

I bet the environment designer is still chuckling his tits off knowing that people are getting a face full of that.

edit: still got a laugh out of me

Link handling (feddit.uk)

Any chance the way in which links are handled could be amended? I've not seen the Summit design docs but it appears as though when a user clicks a link, a dialog box appears and the app tries to preview the link, before the user can continue onwards.

In this instance, it would appear that the preview call has failed in some fashion, and does not allow the user to proceed with either copying or opening the link - both buttons are unresponsive.

Any chance the previewing can be interrupted with a "Open Anyway" or "Force Open" button, with perhaps a first-time-only warning stating that only trusted links should be blindly opened?

Cheers!

So..

...even though the battery light was a bright red, I saved the game and it crashed. Now the save is predictably in a broken format and can't be read (at least without extra hardware).

I was rather enjoying my 10hr game, just before the SS Anne and grinding my 'karp to a Gyarados, with a recently evolved Sandslash.

I can see that there are save editors for use, but does anyone know if there are save builders - that put you in a particular location at a particular level with progression flags automatically set to your point in the story?

I can't say I'm big in to Pokémon lore - my introduction to the series was with Go - so some of the intricacies are beyond me but I'll faff with editors if I need to and import them into an Android emulator if it comes to that.

Thanks in advance!
