General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

As a PC gamer who tends to buy most of their games in Steam sales, I assure you that gaming on the cheap in a digital world is most assuredly possible.

The open ecosystem of that pc and the closed one of the consoles aren't really comparable though. I've got so much more choice on PC than I do on console.

... Yeah once you've also bought a gaming PC for more than I've spent on my PS5 and all the games I've bought for it since.

Fair point, I suppose the fact that I need a decent desktop PC for other things too means that it makes sense to spend a little more to get one that is also decent for gaming.
