Lazybones, nice to chat again. Everything good? Or at least tolerable? Do you ever hear from bigworv? A good man, a maniac.
Are you enjoying Dark Souls 2? I didn’t mind it.

Worv is balls deep in Elden Ring.
From the hours he has put in to it he is worving from home a lot more.
Too busy even to chat about the passing of Shane.

countginula I have not seen BigWorv for, oooh, many a year. I believe he is well. We had some light interaction about Switch games and maybe a Spotify playlist a few years ago, but not much since. I think lots of people went to Whatsapp. Well - I know they did. 24 hour rolling chat.

I like Dark Souls 2. Sometimes I think I love it.
I played a bit at lunchtime and vanquished a knight in combat. Big tough guy. I also killed one of the hippo men. After that I got assailed by ghosts and felt less keen. Getting poisoned, cursed, and / or assailed by ghosts. Not for me.
On balance I would say I like it as much as Dark Souls, but not as much as Demon's Souls or Bloodborne.

Lazybones - do you play Nintendo Switch?
It’s the only form of gaming I manage at the moment. A solid system, I enjoy it.
Here is an unasked for list of games I recently enjoyed:
Octopath traveler
Hollow knight
Salt and sanctuary
Castlevania collection
Today I hope ‘Triangle Strategy’ arrives. A turn based tactics type game , a genre I absolutely detest.

A heady mix of Wordle and Elden Ring. |

Count - I do!
To be honest ... The main game I'm playing a the moment is, ahem ... Fortnite.
A good game. Robust. Then I went back to Dark Souls 2 because I felt I should probably finish it before getting Elden Ring. I can't rationalise exactly why. It just feels right.

"The price cap rises in April.
Everyone not on a long term fixed deal is going to be pleasantly surprised."
Yes I know all that - but I thought our fixed price deal ran out later in the year. I believe the best option currently is not to fix and stick with the standard rate as people are being fixed into stupidly high tariffs.

I was scrolling through the Elden Ring comments and somebody linked this place... Hi! |

I think you should turn back to PUBG. I always enjoy reading your travails across that world. |

Sheep - is alumni involved in the WhatsApp group? If so I need immediate access as I have unfinished business with our East Anglian friend.

To be honest we just weren't good enough. |

Looks like a retro nostalgia fest is about to start.

Does anyone have any experience of removing keys from a laptop keyboard to clean them if they've begun to stick?
It looks like a procedure with a high risk of key damage, but I'm going spare. My 'T' and backspace keys are not hitting home.

Do you have any compressed air?
And stop eating burritos whilst leaning over your laptop.

I believe the best option currently is not to fix and stick with the standard rate as people are being fixed into stupidly high tariffs. Best option is to pray for global warming. The price of oil and gas is unnecessarily high at the moment due to unspecified troubles. I am not saying the Ukrainians are wrong, but if you want cheaper fuel they need to say sorry to Vlad and agree he is right. |
