Recap + criticising lazy journos regurgitated Netflix/urban clickbait

Event has now sold out!

Also no tickets on the door.

Yeah, we were pretty surprised how quickly they went.

The Carlos LG went in about 3-4 hours, we thought since it wasn't Dredd and it was twice the price, that the helmet might take as long if not longer.

I guess it being the third lawgiver and half the run outweighed those.

I'm sure Dan will do another run, considering how quickly these sold.

Depends how good your ventroliquism is.

Goes on pre-order tomorrow at 7:30 PM in the UK.

Some people believe the earth is flat.

Being wrong isn't limited to politicians.

I avoid the politics threads for this very reason Sharky, so I'll leave it there - having that prick turn up as recommended has wound me up enough, I'm not going to waste my time trying to argue a point with you here, I've seen how that goes on the other thread.

The actual Tommy Robinson channel came up as a recommendation.

I'm not sure whether that's a blanket thing or some bit of dogshit that I've trodden in on twitter or facebook or something else on my internet travels.

That this ringpiece is high profile enough to get banned from facebook etc and youtube are still promoting him is unbelievable.

I agree - regulate the fuck out of these companies.

You have to curate the recommended for you list by clicking on the options pull-down menu - the three little dots on the corner of the video you want to stop appearing in your recs - and choose "not interested" and when prompted "tell us why", select "not interested in this channel".  Do this a few times and YT will stop recommending you such videos - at least until you or someone on your computer or device looks at such videos again.
I did this a while back and now I follow like 200 different communist Youtubers that got recommended to me - when the algorithm starts working for you, it really starts working for you.

YT does some very awful stuff to the point I pretty much defend the algorithm now because it's far from the worst concern.  Nonces using kids' videos to share nonce porn links, for example, or YT's demonetisation strategies that constantly impoverish the users that made the service the social media hub it is now rather than the place you went to find copyright-infringing uploads.  YT has many problems, but the algorithm one is at least fixable.

That only works if you log in though doesn't it? It doesn't stop the shite popping up if you're not logged in, and no way that I can see to control it.

Yeah, I hadn't even got to the other major concerns yet.

Nothing groundbreaking but youtube seems about as toxic as lead in paint (well even more than it was before)

Recently uploaded/recommended (unless I log in) has Yaxley Lennon videos moaning about censorship - and no apparent way to block that channel or content.
Like having a TV that randomly tunes to the arsehole channel.

I could just about bear it in when it was some tedious prick banging on about Star Wars/Doctor Who/Star Trek/Whatever, but there is a limit.

Those are cracking Leigh, Middenface in particular.

Mr Mechanismo himself, Colin MacNeil has been announced!

Lopez' revenge and the chin last to go obv.

Better if Dredd suddenly starts sprouting a luxuriant moustache that grows back faster than he can shave it off. Eventually, he has to give up and ends up looking exactly like Carlos...

Hah!

I wasn't joking. Who knows what square shaped holes that giant chief judge shield's been hiding all these years? It would be just like Wagner to pick up a 40 year plot point!

I quite like that as a way to kill off Dredd. Lopez' revenge and the chin last to go obv.

Honestly - not sure.

I'm not sure if you can buy a win 7 install from microsoft any more - I have a win 7 ultimate lying around you're welcome to try - whether it will let you though is another matter.

Might be a case of getting a new HD and reinstalling.

If you're doing that (and can afford it) I'd recommend getting an SSD for the boot drive - makes a big difference in speed booting up.

I think the problem is there isn't much distinction between a pro at concept art and a pro at a comic poster with regards to skills/content.

If it were sequential art, then there is more of different skill set.
