I didn’t know you could soak downed players in petrol. I look forward to giving that a go. How do you set them slight? Shoot them? I’m on a train out of Leeds. That is how you do it, I think. Or you shoot on the floor where the petrol is. |

Back to the office one day a week from 8th April. Will need to check the trains as they're on reduced service. scubar New laptop? Chumbles probably recommends Pc Specialist. Oh. We'll see what the build quality is when it's in situ. By the sound of it they have had a 'perfect storm'; losing staff, component shortages - not only the chip scarcity, and increased demand, but also import problems. But I would still use them rather than any of the others. |

Horrowing scenes in that there PUBG. Can't we all just get along?
With Monster Hunter Rise coming out in a few days I'm feeling the pressure of my backlog even more than usual. Another evening came and went and instead of murdering wildlife or getting murdered by said wildlife in Xenoblade I communed with the wildlife in Animal Crossing and watched Yanks murdering each other in supermarkets on the news.
When I get my copy of Monster Hunter I want to play it, but I want to finish Xenoblade first. I need more time, and instead they are planning to take away a whole hour at the weekend! Down with that sort of thing.
OTTM: yet another important looking letter delivered to the wrong address, i.e. mine. Yes, the house number and name of the street is correct, but does this look like Halesowen?? At least this time the Royal Mail sorting office has the excuse that there's no postcode. Not that the presence of a postcode has ever stopped them before.
Lunch: cheese muffin

In other news. Kane can't understand why his VR headset doesn't work.
git that is probably because it's not Bluetooth. |

Yup, I realise I'm asking you to do RM's job for them... |

To be honest I didn't know you could use fire in the game until yesterday. I was standing on a (virtual) balcony with my friend and said 'wait here for a second', and I performed the necessary actions to douse the balcony in petrol, then ignite it. Three minutes later the house was under attack. Horrible ... They were like jackals. And we were all dead soon after that.

There's actually nothing in PUBG that says you have to shoot people. It's a bit like the gun problem in America. Because there's a perception that everyone else has guns, everyone wants a gun, so feeding the madness.

I've been to the post office with a letter that had been wrongly delivered three times, but they just shrugged and told me to put in into the pillar box once more. My method these days is to add the postcode (or circle it if it's already there) with the information that it had been delivered to the wrong address, put the letter into a plastic bag to protect it from the elements and tape it to the outside of my letterbox, then wait several days until the postie takes pity and deals with it. |

Because there's a perception that everyone else has guns, everyone wants a gun, so feeding the madness. You can set things on fire in Fortnite as well. If you are playing solo in Fortnite you die if you die. In duos you crawl around for up to 100 seconds awaiting rescue. This allows bad people to do bad things to a downed person. You can pick them up, carry them around. Lock them in rooms. Use them as bait to attract the rescuer. Axe them to death, set them on fire, put them in healing stuff to keep them alive for a while longer. All sorts of bad behaviour. There is definitely room for creative meanness. So I am told. |

We have all seen sigmas come and go before. Edit: After eating that cheese muffin I feel like a particularly heavy muon. Do muons usually take a nap in the afternoon? I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those sigma levels of certainty will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to take a nap. |

I would just repost the letter, unchanged, and assume it gets better sorted next time.

Morning silent spreaders!
Last night I discovered I had the necessary parts for something called the stag smasher or something. It’s basically a massive hammer. However to build it I had to go back to some of my old houses to get the requisite items - I was presently in a nice wooden chalet I had erected as a base on the edge of the mountains. I also remembered I had a bow in a chest in my very first lodgings.
I came down off the mountain, and built the deer wacker, a massive hammer with deer antlers.
This was in my coastal lodgings with two trolls wandering about on either side. To put the next happenings in context, I’m always short of a deer hide or two, and deer are a pain to hunt without a bow.
So instead of walking down the troll infested coast I built a mighty sea faring vessel and sailed back to my very first house along the coast. The sun was setting as I arrived.
Next is getting the bow out of storage. Watch out deer.
Also played Valheim.

The deer smasher really is something. Long wind up, sends greydwarfs flying. 4 stars.

I haven't played Valheim much. I put it on yesterday and walked down a coastline I hadn't yet seen. I saw some greydwarfs hanging around on a rocky outcrop and wearily began to lay about them with my axe. The sun began to go down then, though, and I just saved and exited the game ...
I dd not have the power. I felt weary ...
