Hard to accept that seeing all this terrible Fortnite chat is somehow inevitable. Surely I could have changed my destiny somehow, like in the movies. No dude it was all inevitable. Because of physics and stuff.

I'm still not crazy about Fortnite. Having said that my character now has a Mandalorian body armour outfit and a fun, mooching, dance with a ghetto blaster.

Morning esteemed members of the UK Men’s non gender specific* Sheds Association!
Hunted some monsters at the weekend, and also did some more Death Stranding. Top games all round.
Languishing pretty heavily at the moment, I've lost my vim. I need some time to recharge my batteries. Perhaps if I plug myself into the mains it will refill my juices. That or some rod hull.

Morning
Valheim-chat! The ongoing saga of Erik Gingernuts...
Much building has occurred after the carrot-patch incident. Defences have been strengthened, and following lazybones' example i now have a 2-story dwelling. I was not happy with building up though, so took up the floor and excavated a new basement to hide all my workbench sundries as they were starting to take over the place. I put the fermenter down there as well for brewing of potions, but then realised i need to access it so left a gap in the original floor so i can just drop ingredients straight down into it, dumbwaiter stylee.
I also took my first trip at sea, aboard the good ship Blodwyn*
*It's actually a raft, and not good at all. Falling overboard is not recommended, due to drowning. Luckily my corpse-marker floated so i was forced to craft a replacement and sail back out to try and find all my chattels.
Killed my first Troll.... the schmuck got stuck in a crevasse and i was able to pelt him with fire arrows til it died of boredom. I fear this may have triggered an event though, as have heard that once you have killed one, then they are likely to start to spawn near my base. I may have fucked up a bit here.
I now have 2 wild boar in a corral, and am trying to tame them enough to breed. I fear this is becoming farmville.
At some point i'm going to have to go and take on the 2nd boss. This is not likely to end well, but is necessary if i'm to progress into the iron age.

I'd recommend a walk. Somewhere rural on a nice day. Its a simple way to reduce loss of vim.
Also get drunk. I find that is a good way to relieve stress*. Unless you are drinking too much. In which case a couple of days sober may help
* Not officially recommended, but it has always worked for me

It's a game changer when you hit 30. The crafting bench etc. Spreadsheet central. I never bought a workbench when I reached 30. Maye that is where I went wrong?

Sheepers- I’ve been going for walks every day, drinking lightly on the odd evening. Half of cider. I think I need to either drink more or less.
I just saw a photo on the guardian of a platypus that had been captured by a team of scientists. I read it as “created by a team of scientists”.
How would you go about creating a platypus? I’d probably start with some sort of aquatic mammal like an otter or a water vole. See if I could get some novelty duck lips to tape to it’s face. I think the feet would be a challenge too. Hands from a doll perhaps. They have weird hand like feet if I remember correctly. Might need to add webbing to them.
Just a quick update on my thought process for this one. Will try to get something written up by close of play next Thursday.

I think I’d give it a Pom Pom instead of a tail, just to add my own special touch.

The occasional half a cider is not drinking.

Morning all!
Gamesblog: effin yes, mofos. OutRun: Arcade Online, followed by Daytona, followed by Wipeout HD, ending with Far Cry: Blood Dragon. PS3-tastic.
TVblog: Fawlty Towers. Then South Park. And then... Babylon 5, with the absolutely spectacular The Long Twilight Struggle. All the stars.
Lunchblog: leftover garlic chicken, chopped up with some sweet pickled peppers, served in toasted tiger bread with some mayonnaise. Superb.

Lunch: BBQ chicken & avocado
Now that I know that there's no free will I must say that it's very nice that physics predetermined me to stay in bed for longer this morning. I'm sure from now on the universe is going to be nice enough to let me play lots of Animal Crossing and Xenoblade Chronicles. If anything needs changing it's the price pattern of my neeps which is going down, down, down.
I've consulted the tea leaves and tarot cards as well as my crystal ball and it turns out that the whole of creation is leading up to one seismic, pivotal event: future me in less than an hour will be watching Capcom's Monster Hunter digital event. Better get some snacks.

Perhaps I did over rate it with 'Corker'.
My best bits were GNev and the free to air panel. Plus, as usual, some of the comments.
Two favourites (look away spurs fans) :
"Spurs being in there is like me walking into the Crucible and putting 50p on the table"
&
"The thing that got me was having Spurs in it. Which (as someone remarked), was like having Bananaman in The Avengers."

I think the supporters have gone too far in football. I'd love to buy a club and not let supporters in. I'd remove all the stands. My biggest spend would not be on players but on lawyers - employed to tease out loopholes in the competition rules.
