Keef needs to install a floppy drive on his new PC.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla with all the DLC would come on approximately 80,000 floppy discs. Though I think they have reduced the size a bit if you redownload it.

Yes
1,000 would give you 1.44 GB.
AC Valhalla is about 120GB in full so 80,000 ish depending on how much space you need for the wrapper.
Imagine it failing 3 discs from the end.
I had a copy of MS Office for Windows 3 on 25 discs back in the day. It was a nightmare to reinstall and needed it on a reasonably regular basis.
I also had something on multiple CDs. It might have been Encarta. I could probably use it to update and correct Wikipedia.

Wisely, Keef hasn't opened up his article to comments. There isn't enough Glade in the world to hide the stench the PC nerds would leave in there. English Pint Legend, take note.

4 slices of black pudding, fried, with hot buttered toast, and a mug of builders tea.
Might need a small siesta shortly.

We've got a notoriously tight customer.
He asked a few years ago about using floppies on our public pc's.
I got him a usb floppy drive we had kicking about.
He then complained about some of his discs not working. They were 720k 3.5" ones. The drive couldn't read them. Despite him doing the notch trick.
Basically gave him a MASSIVE 1GB pen drive and politely told him to leave me alone.

I'm up to date with Succession, and have watched some of it twice to catch up (s1 and s3). It's entertaining enough, but they build some things up to be massive plot points, then a few episodes later these momentous events are discounted as irrelevant and the whole thing carries on as if they'd never happened. Series 3 is especially bad for this. I've seen commenters raise this in the G episode recaps, only to get screamed at by dozens of people getting 200 likes each for asking them why they don't just leave the country if they don't like Succession. It's pretty much the argument that amipal and I have over Star Trek: TNG vs Star Trek: Discovery 1-3 The former wonders about with the ship NCC-1701-D / Enterprise sending out away teams - effectively you could regard the plot as a string with pearls attached, not necessarily of any great significance and the away missions linked. Even DS9 follows this model initially, before the long story arcs of the wars. (thank gods for Garak and Quark)  Whereas Star Trek: TNG vs Star Trek: Discovery 1-2 (tight arc) and 3-4 is an arc running from the go! I have to eat and sleep, but if you're interested... The end is in sight for Star Trek: Discovery. Paramount+ said today that its longest-running original drama series will end with its upcoming fifth season, which will debut in early 2024.
Leading up to the final season, Paramount+ will honor the show’s groundbreaking storytelling over its past four seasons with yearlong celebrations and appearances at key events in markets around the world. |

I imagine Scottish_Pint_Legend to be English_Pint_Legend's cooler cousin from north of the border. Probably got a PS5/Xbox, a hipster moustache, leather jacket and a sweet hog which he rides around Glasgow picking up hot chicks in bars and kicking sand in the faces of PC owners.

According to the spreadsheet, Lazybones is in London, so he should check it out and write a review for the chatterbox.

One small cheddar sarnie with salad
One sarnie with Boursin, no salad.
Unlimited cheese sounds dangerously attractive, though not right now.

I've been shopping. I bought some veggie sausages to appease the cult of Bones. Which reminds me. There's a veggie Indian place which I sometimes pass by.  Strapline: "I didn't get where I am today by eating meat" Ahahahaaa... |

I can strongly recommend the Sainsbury's Plant Pioneers Spicy bean burgers. Just cook em for slightly longer than they say. Four stars.

I imagine him to be rotting away in a Glaswegian alleyway, needle stuck in his arm and laying in his own faeces. Empty bottles of Buckie rolling around his feet. Tl:dr: a typical PlayStation owner |
