Today I have the dubious pleasure of a visit from Nursey, so you will be spared my presence for most of it... |

Six pages of chat, did I miss a flounce? Or was it quizzes and no puns?
Rain put an end to plans of a nice evening stroll and looks to have put an end to the seed trays too. Worst year to get an allotment?
Started Clarkson's farm, not sure if bad luck or idiocy is doing the most damage at the moment.

Despite finding Clarkson an insufferably smug git, i enjoyed Clarkson's Farm and am looking forward to series 2.
Oh, and Morning all.

Hello.
No games.
Switched on the PS4 so I could chat to my pal. Hadn't got home till 7 and had to phone my sister and eat. By the time I'd done all that I watched a little TV and went to bed.
Exciting I'm sure you'll agree.

I went into Pret in the central station yesterday and all the perspex at the counter was down. It quite threw me tbh. Then went into Sainsbury's on the way home. All the perspex round the self service machines was down. Felt weird.
Body and Soul is a legendary club night from New York. I've seen two of the three DJs on their own but never together. They're playing a festival in a park near my house in Sept. I want to go. But I dunno. I realise you either get on with it or sit in the house the rest of your life till you die.

A festival in a park would be fine I think. I expect that the crowd would be more thinly spread particularly at the back. Not so much if you insist on being right in the middle.
I think you'd be able to give off the glower that would stop people approaching too close.

Working out if it was safe to go out again. Follow the examples of our elders and seeing if re-joining society was better than staying in with games, books with maps and booze. Hmm might stick with staying in. |

Like sheep said, it's outdoors, and should hopefully be a bit spaced out. I'm going to Victorious festival in a couple of weeks and not too worried about it. On the other hand I had a ticket to the Spurs pre season game against a*senal last weekend but didn't go as it would involve packed trains etc. |

In other news.
I only recently heard about putting your stroopwafel on top of your coffee cup so the steam softens the caramel.

Hmm might stick with staying in. Have been to our local 'spoons a few times. We didn't stay long and it was a lot quieter than pre-pandemic but didn't feel unsafe. We used the app to order to the table but there was bar service. |

That is a fairly accurate depiction of the cat situation. Greetings. I have been a very bad Tent Hen because last night I downloaded The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and started playing instead of going to bed.  I regret nothing. I know that BabyfarkmcGeezak was betting in the comment section of Patrick Lum's review that nobody would buy this for its lack of automatic machine guns, bloody powerups (as in "bloody powerups, always late to the party"? is that a thing?) and tradeable cosmetics, so I'm sorry to disappoint him in this way. The only weapons featured so far have been a couple of revolvers (edit: and some swords). I know that this type of game isn't everyone's cup of (green) tea, but if you like the concept this is absolutely fantastic. (There's even an option to remove any gameplay element and just watch it play out as a cartoon or visual novel. Not that anyone would want to do that.) |

But first, tenthenemy, I'm afraid that you may need to revise your view on the builders of the Ziggurats. I think she's been misled by a typo: Antlantis. She's probably Oz's cousin twice removed* *by giant ants in white coats |

No real keyboard = no dice. But… I’m not the market for this. This is aimed at those Amiga users from the past who never put a Workbench disk on the floppy drive, let alone had a hard disk. I think I’d rather this shipped with a joystick rather than a pad - that’s not going to be fun for all the platformers that insist on pushing up to jump! |
