Really?

My seed ratio is going to be OVER 9000!!!!!!!11

I get you, friend. Life gets in the way sometimes.

That said, it's not the 90s anymore and advances in emulation make big games really accessible now. My other half picked up an Anbernic console and it's amazing to play old games with the QoL improvements - the key one being save states.

There's also the option to emulate on a phone but personally I think the lack of physical buttons really hurts the experience - that's a preference thing not a hard and fast rule.

Have a think about it - I used to dismiss big games out of hand based on the time factor, but now I'm finding half an hour here or two twenty minutes sessions an afternoon breaks up the day or a journey.

Just a thought.

Doesn't matter what version it is, the drop at 1:50 is an absolute banger

Sorry friend.

If your data was occupationally-sensitive or renders you vulnerable to financial ruination, it's time to move to a recovery phase and see if modern data recovery specialists can work their voodoo.

Remember: never run experimental commands (you or a GenAI) in a live environment. See how it breaks things in a test environment first - if it shits itself, you may even get to learn how to fix it before running the instruction on live data.

Anecdote time! A good friend of mine drove his car to a mutual colleague's place once because the wipers were about as much use as two chicken breasts on metal poles. He says to our colleague "Hey Foxy, I hear you're good with cars, can you fix these wipers for me? The rubber seems to be in good nick but it's not clearing anything".

"Sure thing," Foxy proudly announces, "I'll get to work".

Foxy strips the wipers down, one component at a time, before dusting his hands off and walking away.

"What's going on, Foxy? The thing's still in bits!" my pal says.

"No idea," says Foxy, "not a fucking Scooby mate" and goes back inside, leaving his wipers and actuating motor in about fourteen pieces on the roadside.

So much for being good with cars.

It also sounds like the sorts of character names Sandy would use in their games - looks like an endless pool of NPC names for the future!

Yeah man.

I mean, they say you can't outrun a bad diet.

It's fun trying though!

I'm in the same boat bro. I can pan in miles and miles, but I've got all the upper body strength of a wet fart.

Keep going though bro. Today nine; legs tomorrow; ten on Tuesday. Same thing next week. Eleven, on Sunday, twelve on the following Tuesday.

If you want some advice that's more than "do more, bro" then check out Shaun T's Insanity or Focus T25. I loved those programmes and I developed arms and chest more than I ever did do half-arsing weights or resistance machines.

Nail it bro.

When this NPC blinks, throw a strong punch to get an instant knockdown.

( context )

Alright mate cheers, how was yours?

I'm finally thinking about knocking the TV Licence on the head.

It wasn't the "loony left BBc" or "Tory Mouthpiece BBC". The way I see it, if both camps are as incensed as the other then the BBC must be doing something right.

It wasn't the ludicrous salaries some of the top celebs were on. I suppose they're just market rate and someone will pay for them.

It's not even the upcoming Trump defamation that we'll end up bankrolling - it was a poor editorial decision, but the BBC have been fairly good at owning up to fuckups.

It's the constant fucking trailers now for the Smeds and the Smoos on iPlayer. I only really use it to catch up on Reporting Scotland to check out the weather, and I'm fed up of having to skip the trailer. Every. Fucking. Time.

I only really paid it for this long because the BBC News and BBC Sport sites are fucking brilliant in fairness, and I rationalised it as paying my licence fee to keep those two sites going... but it's taken a constant hammering of eight seconds trailers to really lose my rag.

~~First job of the new year.~~ edit: fuck it, done from the end of the month.

That and Mallory Towers were staples in UK schools.

Most of the fun was telling the Raven to fuck off.

~~Sorry about the Sun logo~~.

The power of ~~friendship~~ editing.

Yeah I'm guessing that GIF is from the broadcast feed, not sure if there's any alternate angles without AJ's dome blocking the view.
