I learnt that over a decade ago.

Don't buy a Ubisoft, EA, or frankly any big publisher game.

Okay :)

Costco toilet rolls are the superior product, my friends. Trouble is you get something like 48 rolls in a wholesale packet - so you need somewhere to stash them.

Me and my wife... Got really bored. The gameplay loop is supppperr trivial, and even though they add in stuff every now and again, eh...

I dunno, it's okay - but I just don't get the hype. I wanted to pitch in because if someone is considering buying it I'd really recommend checking a Let's Play of it before trying it.

It felt like a game specifically designed for a gamer to introduce gaming to their never-gamed-before partner. If you're both experienced gamers like we are, I wonder whether you'd give up on it too.

End of a 14 year dark period.

Perhaps I should have said 'categorically' instead of 'definitively', but they are synonyms so...

Was disappointing to see so much pussyfooting and backpedalling on stuff like this from Labour over the past 18 months.

I'll be over the damned moon if they put some strong climate positive policies in the manifesto.

Is it too much to hope for electoral reform too?

IIRC, the only definitive way to ID mushrooms is by making a spore print - and even then you need to know what you're doing.

Just doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

I love just how simple yet captivating the Grim/Black Dog is. It isn't even necessarily aggressive, but just the mere sighting of it elicits dread and heralds doom.

 

Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

 

Needed some positivity in life, so just upped and decided to rewild our front garden.

My wife and I have talked about making the front garden a wildflower meadow (which will be step 3 or 4), but my wife likes frogs so I thought I'd gamble on the chance that a little pond might attract some - as well as being a boon for wildlife in general.

We used the kids' old paddling pool, as you can see, and I'm following guidance found on various websites (e.g. rewildingbritain.org.uk, RSPB, etcetera).

Step 2 will be buying some native pond plants once we've got some rainwater in.

Once we've got the meadow going, I'm planning on seeing if I can recruit any neighbours. (First target is next door who has never once used their garden and only goes out to strim it down. I'm hoping I can tempt them with an offer of turning it into a meadow for free, seeing as they paid for our shared fence.)

Hey dads. How's your day/week/existence going?

My wife, spontaneously (actually to procrastinate), decided to start sorting through our thousands of saved but unsorted phone pictures of the kids etcetera. Kinda magical to revisit some forgotten moments through the years.

Will make it a hell of a lot easier when I finally get round to picking a handful to send to my own parents. (Specifically curated so that when my mum ends up 'accidentally' putting another one on Facebook I don't have to go too nuclear. Just regular firebombing.)

 

What a fucking disappointment. I've not watched the final episode and I'm not going to, as apparently Netflix only understands something sucks if people don't finish watching it.

Season 1 was fantastic. Season 2 was... tolerable. The writing for Season 3? I've never been so bored, disengaged, or had suspense so masterfully deflated.

 
 

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried a couple of times now, and the 'Create' button on https://feddit.uk/create_community seemingly does nothing.
