Maybe I could use that time to watch The West Wing? I’ve heard nothing but good things about it but…who’s got the time.

I dunno, I could spend a good long while playing nothing but Football Manager if I didn’t have to worry about being anywhere else.

I mean, is this in real time because I won’t lie, I bet there’s an awful lot of ‘boring’ mixed in with all the amazing moments.

Don’t know about how it is in the US, but in the UK the idea of people rushing to finish their transaction fills me with dread. I’ve worked in a supermarket with self service and the general public really struggles with them.

It was the only of my three cars that hasn’t been totalled by a driver not paying attention when driving past it.

Yup. Two cars have been written off whilst parked down my street inside two years. Love it!

The last game that truly gave me the feeling you described is Lies of P. It was my favourite game of 2023 and the 60 or so hours I put into beating it were very well spent.

Definitely spending the day with my young children, going to a soft-play and then going out for a lunch filled with ‘no no no don’t throw that’ before we return home for a fun evening of 'daaaaaaady, daaaaaaaady’ entirely on my own in total silence apart from the sound of my TV with a videogame on, a fresh cup of tea in my mug and maybe a takeaway pizza on the way.

Might also explain why Cricket is so popular. Obviously it still requires a fair amount of physical exertion but it’s definitely a bit more laid back than something like Rugby.

Prefer digital because space is a factor in my house. I love the idea of physical, and I’ll usually go that way for art or reference books. However paperback equivalent I’m always going digital.

Although if I really love a book I’ll always look to add it to my bookshelf at some point.

No one has any idea what they’re doing.

I’m 35. I’ve got two kids. I make it up as I go along. There’s no plan, no blueprint. There’s just the day to day crap that life has for us all. I wake up, I go to work and my only real aim is to get home to my kids and partner.

With regards to Mastodon, there’s no algorithm. So you’ll need to be using the hashtag search function to really find the sort of people you’re interested in communicating with.

The thing I’m giving to this post instead of giving to the growing pile of laundry I need to do.

Well firstly, any new staff inevitably ask the ‘do we work an hour more/less’ depending on the circumstance.

Aside from that, not much else changes. One Sunday morning I’d finish at 6 and then six months later I’d have a Sunday where I finished at 8.

Fortunately I never worked Sunday nights, so I never felt like I was losing much after work time.

Thanks for the heads-up. It would appear I was wrong.

I think that technically we have two ‘moons’ already. Just that the other one is super small and doesn’t really have much effect on the planet.

Sorry that this didn’t answer your question, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

I think there’s a big difference between a mental institution and a therapist. Almost apples and oranges.

I’m a big sports guy and I rarely see random sports posts in the wild. Could OP be viewing the “all” page maybe? We had a similar issue a few days ago with Elon Posts and I wonder if it’s not a similar issue here?

Yeah I should have emphasized that the string is perfectly taught, has no slack, isn’t affected by things like the wind and can’t break.

Theoretically, is there any reason to set a game to lock at 30fps but then run the display at say 60hz?

Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones

I think that is the official title. It’s set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn’t touched on the events of that series.

Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it’s definitely got me.
