Personally I wish they just made a bunch more Steamworld Digs. They could keep churning those out and I would lap them up.

What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? by rubikcuber in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Aldi UK beans aren't as good as they used to be. I think they changed about 6 months ago. That said, they are still decent and my beans of choice.

And with worse safety, it would appear.

Any handheld consoles with parental controls? Mainly looking for timed sessions by rubikcuber in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

The Switch is "okay". You can set a daily limit and an end time. As well as allowing or blocking titles. You can't set more granular sessions times, or even a start time. And "bedtime" cannot be earlier than 4pm. It's all a bit limited compared to Xbox from example, but it's okay. You control the times from a mobile app.

20-30K?! Holy crap. I've never spent more than 10K on a car. But then I've never bought a new car...

The Most Streamed Movies in 2022 by rubikcuber in c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film

[-] rubikcuber@feddit.uk 10 points 9 months ago

I've heard of three of these movies...

Thankfully (?) my kids exclusively watch Ninjago, Captain Underpants and Nailed It.

I do remember a time when our eldest was 3 or 4 and he would watch the same movie on repeat over and over. The months he was obsessed with Robots and Planes Fire and Rescue were dark indeed.

The ever reducing diameter of wraps is the thing that gets me the most. Do they think we won't notice?! It's maddening. I want a big wrap.

When did you or someone you know get into trouble only to double down and continue digging the proverbial shovel? by rubikcuber in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

My son is 11, and this is a daily... or even hourly occurrence.

Enterprise is too gross by rubikcuber in c/startrek@startrek.website

You're not wrong, although I'm never sure which of Tripp or Merryweather was the most insufferable asshole.

Hoshi wasn't immune from anime treatment either. The time she dropped down from a ceiling vent, leaving her clothing snagged behind her was particularly egregious.

My issue with ENT is the treatment of female characters. It's not just T'Pol, but she definitely comes off worse. It's all pretty cringy watching it with 2023 eyes. That crap with the Doctor guilting T'Pol into sexy time Vulcan therapy with Tripp, for example. Urgh. Very much of the "FHM" era. That, and most (all?) the characters are unlikable. I've tried many times to watch it since the time but struggle with more than 1 or 2 episodes.
