    Nah, the last time i used insta was when it was mostly known for its infamous lomography filters. While this edit is intentionally horrible it proofs a point though. A subtle shift in the whitepoint to the warmer side and a few clicks to reduce the slight green tint in the potatoes would help wonders. Almost looks like flourescent light or photographed with a flash light. Either case wouldnt be ideal.

    Anyway, i’m well aware of how hard it is to take good pics of food. I wouldnt have made that rather blunt and maybe hurtful comment if it was only about the presentation. Its mostly just a culture shock thing, i guess.

    But enough of me and my “feelings”. If i ever comment or post again i will provide pics/recipes.

    That poster a few weeks ago who said hes gonna block this community lives rentfree in my head. Because i get him. Nearly everytime i see a picture of this community posted in my feed it just absolutly disgusts me. Holy moly. It dont even know why? Its not high cuisine, but who cares? I’m sure its perfectly fine tasting self cooked food.
    But something about it just breaks me.

    Anyway. Keep it up. This is a nice little community and i could just post my own stuff if really cared. Feel free to delete this comment. But damn, i couldnt stay silent or just ignore it any longer. My poor european tastes are struggling to keep it together with these meals.


  • Most of the responses of the ministers(?) covered in the article seem to be pretty solid.

    But then:

    Responding to the arguments, the government’s representative, minister for sport, tourism, civil society and youth, Stephanie Peacock MP, acknowledged consumer sentiment behind Stop Killing Games, but suggested there were no plans to amend UK law around the issue.

    “The Government recognises the strength of feeling behind the campaign that led to the debate,” she said. “The petition attracted nearly 190,000 signatures. Similar campaigns, including a European Citizens’ Initiative, reached over a million signatures. There has been significant interest across the world.”

    She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”

    Peacock claimed that because modern video games were complex to develop and maintain, implementing plans for games after support had ended could be “extremely challenging” for companies and risk creating “harmful unintended consequences” for players.

    Handing online servers over to consumers could carry commercial or legal risks, she said, in addition to safety concerns due to the removal of official company moderation.

    On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”

    “Licensing video games is not, as some have suggested, a new and unfair business practice,” she claimed.

    Yeah, full on corpo spin. Fuck her.
