tl:dr - rich c*nt whines about having to put his hand in his pocket and hand over what is to him effectively loose change
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

1000% this. Our reaction speed physically decreases with each passing year. So as I'm not longer 20 year old me, I now hate parrying in all games..
..EXCEPT FOR Doom: TDA with its combo of parry window slider + game speed slider. I actually have the intended experience in that game.

Settings to let people adjust the timing on parry is a good idea. Some people love this mechanic and some people can’t do the quick time event type of precise timing for the mechanic.

The easiest way to set up closed captions is with this plug-in for OBS! Once you've installed it, it'll automatically live caption for you.
Unlike using the closed captions overlays available through Twitch, you don't need to boot up a website every time you stream so one less thing to remember 💖

My biggest accessibility criticism was that the mini-games lacked alternate controls or the option to skip them. Some were skippable, but not the first instance of most of the mini-games. Also, remapping Navigation controls to the D-Pad is huge too. Lastly, not getting lost when chasing animals is 👍

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Worth a scroll and to note that there is a sizable video game audience on Bluesky by now.

An interesting* way to provide a pedestrian crossing point at roadworks. 🤔
Looks like the footway is narrowed/obstructed further up too.
*There should be barriers closing the footway at the crossing point, rather than further on.
