Hello Jeff, just to corroborate your Xbox in store experience. I took this from my local Smyth's superstore. The Playstation edition was not on clearance, it was being sold for a cost of £20 which is comparable with Amazon.

They just want them green boxes gone it would seem.

It could but I'm not holding my breath. Got a ps5 at launch and didn't really use it for over two years. Have become a father of 3 since then so I don't really have much incentive to buy the next console at launch unless it's something truly groundbreaking.

I was on the fence about upgrading my ps5 to the pro. Saw they're going up in price from next week. Payed £640 today instead of £800 next week. Absolutely fucking nuts because it won't be the last I reckon.

Hello Mr Conrad. Unfortunately I don't get to keep up with your streams because I'm UK based with two children and full time employment so I don't know if you've played more Hades in EA, but are you going to be playing Hades 2 again when 1.0 is released on Thursday?

Our standard over here is typically a black tea. Yorkshire tea or Pg tips are the most popular. Little tiple of milk added and a teaspoon of sugar.

Nobody that I know really has a selection of different types of tea in their house.

All the biscuits pair well but some are more dunkable than others.

Do you know about the British tradition of dunking Holly? Nice cup of tea. Dunk your biscuit into said tea and enjoy the experience. The art is to get it soggy enough all the way through but not too much otherwise it falls into your cup ruining it and creating an horrendous mess.

These look very British Holly.
Any Hobknobs in there or any other really good tea dunking biscuits.
( Hi Holly. It's me Nilfgaard Neil from Pokémon go )

It has come true already.

Nothing much happening over here. Trying to balance having the heating on with not running up £1000s in bills lol. Two young one's driving me up the wall.... You remember what it's like...

Road's washing away doesn't sound great though. Think I'd rather be chilly

And I don't think they'll be able to recover from this. Not for a very long time, that's even if they get the chance too. I watched a video yesterday that made a lot of sense. 30 minutes by an Ozzie lady. What the big plan for the US is from the point of the tech billionaires. It's scary how much of

I'll be honest. I just wanted to say something different. But I can give it meaning. "Frond" = friend across the pond. Maybe it'll catch on one day lol

I'm sorry to hear that threads has also turned into a shitshow. This is going to be a very long 4 years...

@4ndr3aaa.bsky.social Hey Frond. Hope you're well. Apologies for disappearing. I borked my phone and the orange adjudicated rapist took power again and made me sad.

Hope you and your family are doing well ?

Still miss your intellectual conversation at RM.

I find it deeply odd….

That some people

(mostly men)

Need a leader to follow

To practically worship

Some dude you will defend with blind loyalty when you know they cross a line

That isn’t a sign of strength

…but of innate insecurity & weakness

But hey, you do you.

The picture is of someone called Dr Freeman. After being on Elons platform I needed to take some steps to protect myself from the fucking insane people from that place if they decided to come across to this one. Just never changed it to my actual picture. But I shall do that now....

Lol I'm so glad my feet gave you a lasting impression of myself even after this many years.
Things are going well thank you. Family has just gotten over whatever horrible lurgee has made the rounds currently. Two very poorly children for two weeks. Was a horrible one. How's things in Oz?

I also had threads for a little bit but it just didn't have the people I liked to follow as twitter did before Lady Elon f#cked that for anyone with morals.
Still in Peterborough, Still at Royal mail. 19 years later. 2 marriages, two beautiful children. It's been a wild time. It's Neil btw lol.

Hey Andi, welcome to Bluesky. I ditched everything else myself last year. Fed up with the absolute nutjobs and extreme right wing views that were clogging up my feed. It's a breath of fresh air over here where conversations can happen once again.
Hope Australia is still treating you well. X

An absolute fuck tonne of money....
