RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE (1 Viewer)

On video games where you're just innocently walking around and you walk somewhere that triggers a video scene and a cut forward to the next bit of the game, long before you've finished exploring and gathering clues. :evil:

Yeah in the Elden Ring DLC you have to talk to all the side characters before you break the rune or they all advance to the next sections and you can miss stuff. I didn’t realize that and there’s no way to go back and reset without starting the whole game over.

This caught me out too, I was furious.

I'm currently playing Dragon Age and every time the path splits you have to guess which is the way to the chest and which is the way to next bit, it's vaguely annoying.
 
The fact that my mum still uses a FreeView box and prefers to watch channels in Standard Definition just because it’s easier to remember the numbers in the guide. Doesn’t matter if she’s watching BBC One all day, SD for all including all of the recording links :manson:

Mr jyxz is still convinced there’s no difference between SD and HD.
 
The influencers who buy their kids a thousand presents purely for insta content

Presents every day, Christmas Eve hampers, new pyjamas for every Christmas movie watch, advent calendars with toys in.

WHY?

Your kid is going to grow up ungrateful, spoilt and probably a Tory.

VILE :doublechin:

The LEGO games do this.

Excuse me but I haven’t finished collecting the gold bricks :evil:

Need some MEAT in my life
 
I have three colleagues who love it so much they each bought flats in the Barbican.
 
I’m not a fan of brutalism either truth be told. But the Barbican and the South Bank are notable exceptions.
 
Brutalism is massively polarising, and there's little point pretending otherwise. I think what a lot of people dislike about it though are just really bad examples of it, or even not brutalism at all, rather modernism or utilitarian architecture.

Anyone who hates Trellick Tower can get cunted, though.

Same with Trellick Tower whenever I pass it on the train into or out of Paddington. I cannot comprehend how people can't be fascinated by it.
 
I recently discovered Alexandra Road and have already planned a pilgrimage there when I'm next in London.
 
I like do unspeakable things for one of the houses overlooking the lake!

See the likes of Alexandra Road is just too associated with neglect and decay which is part of the problem with brutalism. It reminds me of all the 60s towerblocks and office buildings which are now largely gone in major cities but still blight a lot of the UK large towns. But that's a human problem not an architectural problem. The Barbican and South Bank prove that brutalism can be beautiful. They are probably two of the best examples in the world of how to make the best use of man made space, irrespective of architecture.

Poor old Slough. In fairness they are very slowly replacing their buildings with anonymous glass and steel constructions, in order to fool people into thinking it's a gentrifying London borough (good luck babes)

My current (much lower key) favourite is in Reading, where the council decided this was the best backdrop for their flagship Christmas lights. Definitely where you want to draw everyone's eyes!
