Nice arse mate. 🥳

That purple family member dice changes the game for the better!! Some decent modules in there too.

Sold a ps4 once to some snotty kid on eBay who wanted to return it saying he didn’t want because the drive had been upgraded. I told him I’d taken a picture of the serial number and would be checking what he returned and he freaked out and then didn’t send it. EBay sided with me and offered him nowt

Mate I love Absolum that you recommended in your best of 2025 list, and that’s flown under so many radars too. Like personally I really don’t care for souls games, and folk love those. I’m as quirky and fickle with my likes as the next person, and people rarely like what I like!

I enjoyed it incredibly with my husband. Some of my best 2024 gaming memories. You don’t have to like what each and every other person likes. World would be so boring if we all liked the same thing.

It’s a bizarre sticking point that spoils things. I know there’s this big concept of training etc but it just seemed like a huge spike.

I had to cheese that sequence.

I’m guessing it was the attack at the windmill. It’s a known sticking point.

This is awesome, but has been a little bad for my wallet

The idea behind BBC news live reporting, breaking news, even if you don’t directly consume it, reading people’s despair about news on Bluesky for example triggered me.

A lot of it for me has been just putting the phone in another room all evening. “The news you need will find you”

There’s a lot of nuance, for me it’s not about completely avoiding news but once a day, on a computer browser is enough. Developing a healthier relationship with it. It’s that habitual picking up of the phone and infinite scrolling and being “connected” all the time thats the issue.

… all the time you’re looking at your phone 50 times per hour, doomscrolling, reading news, putting yourself in an anxious state…. have you ever thought that the innocuous device in your hand might be part of the problem? We aren’t conditioned to be so hyper connected, it’s an abnormal state (2/2)

Nov 2024-Nov 2025 has been a fascinating life journey that hasn’t been all too easy, but man have I learned things. If you’re the sort of person (like I was) who despairs and says “the world is so tense right now, why can’t it be like it was in the 90s?”…. (1/2)

It’s great. I’ve not read past Children of Dune, mind.

I’m on Assassin’s Apprentice at the moment and loving it. Ended it taking my kindle to a quiet pub and having a read tonight.

It spends a lot of time setting the scene and the history of its universe. It can sometimes get a little bonkers with the prescience later but I love it. Just pure escapism for me.

It’s my favourite. Book. So much intrigue. The audiobooks with a cast are superb.

Think you’re having a bad day? Imagine discovering you fancy Tom Davis 🙈

Just saw this on BookFace - this is not, and I repeat, NOT a piss take

They’re a little high, but if you run and are relatively fit is it more likely to be stress related at all? Or salt intake? Hope you get it sorted man.

Returnal was a hard slog but fought hard to complete it. Also that boss music!!! Can’t wait for this. Although they’ve done the standard thing with male characters and used a butt cape…. boo to this! 😓

Went for some blood tests this week. Thankfully all clear but my LinkedIn is now filled with searches from various NHS testing centres. Did they want to see if I was hot or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Clone Wars can be a bit sleepy-time in the first season (and movie). There’s a Jar Jar episode in s1 where I was put like a light. It gets way better.

How about being in a queue at a cash machine where each and everyone in front of you reinserts the card and sighs at least once.

Lucky and unfortunate Bob.

Those things can be done in 5 seconds flat.

“Jane sees Bob sharing company memos on instagram should she:

A) Join in and laugh
B) Report Bob to a manager
C) Make a pass at Bob
D) Hit him with a cricket bat”

Just had a “people who you may know” on Facebook… an ex from way back in 1999 (I’m shockingly old). And now he’s married to a woman with kids. Wonder he’s as selfish in the sheets with his Mrs now as he was then 👀

Oh gentlemen’s kickball season must have started again.

Plaid hairy guys can look good. It’s an autumnal rustic thing.

I’ve only seen the original run up until it was first cancelled. It does hit a stride somewhere around s2 or so. I enjoyed it, some of it is bonkers but there’s some really touching stuff too.

It’s a great documentary. Took a long time to make I think?
