  • Me? I didn’t even make the original comment. On one hand you dismiss the historical status of pubs as community places by isolating me enjoying it as an individually me thing (I guess I’m single handedly keeping all the pubs in the UK in business; also nice job cutting out me saying I’m seeing a lot of younger people at pubs too to make your argument sound better), then you say you are not doing that exact thing? Make it make sense, without the preachy “ah I’ve read you like a book” attitude.

    Also, rude. I think we’re done here, not sure what got your ego all hurt but we were just having a discussion here.


  • I do most of my social hangouts at pubs, be it to have a nice indoors place to chat (esp when it gets late) or to play Magic. Same with most of my friends.

    Even if I go outside of my friend group, pubs are usually full, of young people too, and there’s a reason their name is a shortened version of “public house”. Sure you could argue younger generations are going to the pub less and less, but to say that historically it has not been the social centre of UK towns is false.

    Also for your last bit, if at least some at the group buys something it should be fine, obv don’t go to a pub and take up space without giving them any money. It doesn’t even have to be alcoholic drinks either.








  • I don’t really get the logic of how stealing from them is somehow supporting them.

    You’re still in the ecosystem even if you’re not paying for it, meaning if you’re trying to pass on files or knowledge, it’s all based within Adobe’s apps and their user experience. You can look into how Adobe encourages piracy on students because that means when they get to make a choice later on what professional apps they’ll use they’ll keep using Adobe, thus if someone else asks “oh how should I get into design?” They’ll hear about Adobe as well.

    Besides, every alternative is absolute garbage compared to Photoshop.

    Open source sadly yes, I’ve yet to find something as good. Consider looking at the Affinity suite though, I used that for years while freelancing instead of Photoshop and illustrator and i wasn’t missing Adobe. If anything it was an improvement, so much more performant and moving across apps was a lot easier.





  • Dualsense with a back pedal mod is king tbh. Very easy to set up with no soldering needed.

    I think the only thing that could beat it is something like 8bitdo which integrates the extra buttons into steam input, but they don’t have a controller that’s as good, and from what I’ve heard their upcoming pro 3 controller that’s got the playstation layout isn’t that good, especially dpad-wise.
