    Most people have moved to forks like starlight and goob. Wizden is plagued with mis management and poor design. They ignored critical security problems (allows people to bypass bans without making a new account, nothing bad for players, just admins) despite the pleas of admins, there is no clear design so you are supposed to just know what features would be considered bloat as a contributor and it also means you end up with entire reworks of departments being done by one person over several years. Wizden is poorly balanced, not because anything is overpowered but because everything is underpowered. The most recent example Is Liltenhead’s videos on explosives. The results were… predictable. Maintainers rushed to fix the mechanic, despite nothing being broken. It will be over used for a week and then return to obscurity. This happens every time Liltenhead makes a video on overpowered but niche mechanics and it means that every round ends up being the same because the niche mechanics are removed. The biggest problem people have is that the owners are power tripping. It’s too much to explain but it has gotten very bad. This all led to most of the head admins retiring from wizden.

    That is definitely the appeal. My friends who use apps with algorithms like tik tok tell me that is the reason they use the apps. I can’t blame them. Those algorithms showed me loads of obscure musical artists that are still my favorite today (and that is a good thing for indies/small businesses who don’t have much money for ad spaces). There is a lot of good reasons for algorithms like that, the problem is the data necessary to make them work and what other stuff they do with it.



  • 1: It depends, I use giffgaff and get very bad connections outside of cities, but they have free EU roaming which is better than other companies

    3: If you want cheap than Aldi is the best place, the food isn’t bad and Aldis have a middle isle full of name brand products if your daughter prefers them over Aldi’s products

    5: It depends on where you end up living, she will probably find friends but it could be more difficult in certain areas of the UK (people in the South like talking a lot less than in the North)

    6: You rarely need an ID. I would recommend carrying your daughter’s ID if you go somewhere like the cinema, I don’t know if it is the same in the US but kids will have their ID checked if they do not look old enough to watch a film

    11: kind of, most areas in the UK with full fibre are connected by city fibre so if you need good internet I would look for a city that uses them so you have a lot of choices for ISPs. I am using zen internet right now and it has no data caps, caps on home internet isn’t really a thing in the UK

    12: You need a TV license to watch most things in the UK, this is because the BBC’s content is on other platforms like Netflix, not just iPlayer.

    14: Your best bet is looking for a local business. There is a Taco Bell in my town but I don’t know how common they are in the rest of the UK and I don’t know if that is what you are really looking for.

    18: Most businesses take card now, the only time you need to carry cash is if you are going to a market.

    20: fuck you

    This seems a bit flawed. I have aphantasia (which is what I assume you mean when you say low-level vision) and I can see a red/orange circle. (I’m going to assume the difference in colour is because of my screen) It isn’t well defined but it is bright and I would guess that I wouldn’t see one at all since I can’t see anything in my mind at all.



  • Same. My most played game has a launcher that doesn’t close/force itself to the top when the game closes so steam continues to count playtime.

    Although, I’ve spent so much time playing it now I think the time spent with just the launcher open is insignificant.

    And yes, the launcher is necessary. It acts as a server picker since there are 100s (and the official servers are a mess)
