EADD YouTube Video Thread: Canned Scotch! What's next?



Gamers (and/or gooners) unite! This bunch of Aussie Christian Karens are on a tear and just cos it begins with hentai games very much is not ending there. Bog standard mature rated games are definitely next in the firing line :|
 


Nostalgia gold for those of us that remember playground wars betwixt Speccy/Commie/Ammy home computer systems. Excellent channel ❤️

PS: I was a Speccy Boy through and through: fight me ya Commie Cunts! :p

PPS: Nobody cares about Amstrad owners then or now ;)
 


Pretty interesting brief summary of the benefits of fasting. I'm not sure how long I could last tbh. 16 hours? probably. 24 ? Challenging! 36? Very difficult.

But apparently it gets easier each time you do it, and the benefits are very tangible.

I accidentally fasted for 36 hours or more many times during stim sessions, and indeed I had barely an ounce of fat on me during the peak of that period. But that's definitely cheating obviously, and although it would still provide the fat burning benefits, I'm sure it wouldnt provide the healthy cell cleaning and repair benefits of the autophagy process which seems amazing.

As it happens I fast 16-18h per day. Not for dietary or health-related reasons so much as simple practicalities. Can’t say I’ve noticed any difference to when I ate at more normal intervals. Maybe longer fasting might make a difference but I must admit suspicion of quackery.

I thought the same about some of the other videos and TED talks, along similar lines, that go much further, basically stating that fasting and autophagy can help prevent or help cure cancer. That's not just quackery imho, but absolute bullshit!

Obviously depending on how it's phrased in each individual case, 'may help prevent' is obviously more credible than any far more extravagant claims, such as "starving cancer to death" which is one of the titles or statements I've seen.

But I think there is something in the more modest claims, especially re fasting and fat burning. I don't know enough about autophagy yet, apart from the basic premise, to be able to comment further, at this stage.

Btw, to me the 'hmm' smiley means 'that's given me something to think about', but not 'I don't believe you'.

As a confirmed tubby fella, I can assure you I’ve lost no weight from relatively short-term (my usual 16-18h) daily fasting. I’ve lived with this eating pattern for the best part of a decade now so if any weight loss is to occur it’s pretty late coming 😃

I don’t rule out the possibility - I know intermittent fasting was all the rage a few years ago and many swear by it - just hasn’t made any difference to me in my situation is all.

FTR, I eat reasonably healthy - far from perfect, but not terribly - with almost no snacking, zero soda, very few desserts, etc. Still a tubby fukker though :!
 


Lawdy. I truly did not expect such a core memory to be unlocked via the medium of being kicked to death by a sheep…

I subsequently recalled all the other mini-games too.

I’ll lay odds that’s gonna be me and me only, mind 😃
 
@Shambles I don't remember Sheep Kick, but I remember a very similar game as Leap Frog on the Commodore 64, but it was called Logger, IIRC.

I remember at the time how much the ZX Spectrum owners loved their little consoles, and would never accept the assertions from us Commodore 64 owners, that the Commodore 64 was much better.

Things probably wont have changed.

Although I must admit that even the Commodore 64 games looked so bad and basic when I managed to pick up a working machine and cassette unit second hand about 20 years ago, just for the sake of nostalgia.

It did have some games that were very good for the time, but loads of rubbish ones for the Commodore as well as for the spectrum.

So it was important to get all geeky about things and get subcriptions to the current game magazines at the time to help guide game purchases based on their reviews.

Commie 64s were way more expensive than Speccies so had the whiff of privilege about them. Hence being held in suspicion :sus:

I only knew one kid who had a Commie and must admit I was mildly envious when I saw how much better the colours were. Although I still have immense nostalgia for my humble Speccy ❤️

I could never really afford new games but would swap “pirated” (ie tape-to-tape) copies on the playground regularly. Combined with all the free games on magazine covertapes I had hundreds… mostly shite games, but a few genuinely excellent ones.

Neither of you Amiga heads? When I got mine in 1989 it was my favorite thing ever. Batman pack with 0.5MB Amiga 500. I upgraded the memory to 1MB and got a hard drive for the left hand port.

I actually upgraded from my rubber-keyed 48k Speccy to a SAM Coupè. You know, the very well known SAM Coupè. That one.

(It’s actually worth a pretty penny these days it’s that rare - it’s currently in my brother’s loft so hopefully he’ll get around to returning it eventually 😃
 
I think the 'BBC' was the most expensive 'computer' around at the time. I seem to remember it costing £600 IIRC, whereas the Commodore 64 was half to a third of that roughly speaking, and again IIRC

One kid in the year above had one, and it pretty much only did word processing, with a very limited range of games. And they were not good games. It was meant to be the 'serious' or 'proper' computer of the time I think.

Bit of a joke by today's standards that any of them were actually called computers though. But they were the forerunners of the first MS DOS 'proper' home computers in a way, I suppose.

Btw, I wouldnt say my upbringing was over-priviledged, my parents (Mum and step-Dad) were staunchly against that, but between my Grandmother and my Dad, who I visited every other Saturday, I guess I did pretty well, and was lucky enough not to want for much. My Dad never had anything in his childhood, and he didn't want mine to be the same.

My Dad was disappointed in that all I did with my Commodore 64 was to play games on it. Just like 99% of the other kids. He was a bit naively hoping that I was going to be doing 'computing' on it. Dunno how your supposed to self-teach yourself that as a young - mid teen with no access to resources or mentors. Although one super boffin who was briefly in our school did manage to do so. Probably with help from his parents.

Although I did buy a book of games from which you had to manually type in the source code. And any single miniscule typing error in formatting or otherwise meant the program would not work. I only tried that once. Hours of work and of course it didn't work. My Mum was quite scathing about it being 'what a waste of time!' too.

I used to attempt typing in my own games. Lawdy what a ball ache 😃

Yeah, BBC Micro was a whole other level of expensive. Weird cos they were shite =D

(although I guess “Elite” was originally a BBC game so from tiny acorns… which reminds me: the Acorn was even fancier (and shitier) iirc)

The “privilege” comment wasn’t intended to be barbed at all. I was unaware of the price difference at the time. Just referenced a lot by folk these days is all.
