OK, well now we have all agreed we could do a murder. Lets do one! There must be someone that we could all agree on. It cannot be someone you just dislike. Mel - This rules out all your irrational anger towards most people. its not irrational, there are well thought out reasons for all my hatred. In any case, I think we just found our candidate *hard glare* |

Morning,
Bit more Battlefield 4 last night. Enjoying it running around fixing stuff and being in tanks.
Perhaps the comments not being available on the gaming articles in the Guardian is because they are about to roll out their new micro-transaction based comments system? Loot boxes with three recommends or a free go at being a mod for 20 minutes.
Good find wee on the Wolfie 2 price.

You wouldn't kill me. I would hold you tightly until you let love in to your heart.

I'm sure most of you are all avid readers of the Royal Horticulture Society magazine The Garden, but for those that might have missed December's issue there's an article on accurate visual depictions to virtual worlds. The Witcher 3 comes out highly recommended for it's accurate planting of Northern European forests with its mix of deciduous and pine trees underplanted with shade tolerant plants such as ferns and purple hellebores. Dishonored for its strong symmetry from a central axis accentuated by steps, trees and neatly aligned planting. I didn't see that article, thank you. Did they mention Everybody's Gone to the Rapture? It portrayed early spring bulbs, daffodils, flowering at the same time as later flowers; I think it was foxgloves and some others which wouldn't bloom until at least a month and probably two after daffodils have finished. Ruined the immersion. |

You're right. It's a sad state of affairs when The Telegraph has a better games section than the other place. I have looked at two articles and both had 0 comments to date, perhaps not surprising for Animal Crossing, but I'd have thought an article on the best games of 2017 so far would have attracted some interest. I'm not sure I could bring myself to register on the Torygraph though. I wonder if their comments are pre-moderated. EDIT: Hmm....I can see 0 comments on any of the articles so far. Am I missing something? Do you need to register to even see the comments? 2nd EDIT: Finally found an article with a comment. It looks like the articles are either pre-moderated and almost nothing is getting through, or else the subject matter is not of much interest to Torygraph readers. |

Felice, are you here? Are you going to move on Dip?
Last night: played a bit more DS2, embraced BDT a little too much, and DQ broke into my home and made me watch helplessly as he slaughtered a thousand innocents by beating them to death with a Diplomacy Board before he finally made sweet sweet love to me, but not in a nice way. Hoping for sweet release soon.

Morning! Working from home today, so naturally trying to spend as much time pissing around in Lightroom as possible.
Other than catching up on some YouTube subscriptions last night, I started watching amen Burns Civil War. I don't think I even wanted to start watching it, just didn't know what I wanted to do with my time.
Oh, I finished Toast of London too.

The telegraph can go fuck itself.
Games! No! Yes! Elite! Obviously.
Books! Anyone else sacked off a kindle and gone back to paperbacks? I’m just not digging the voyage - backlights and all that don’t do it for me. Great for pulp out of print sci fi, horror and trashy smut, bloody awful for Dostoevsky.
I need to free up some shelf space.

Yesterday it was revealed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had given boxfugees a tax break, which is enough to fund a Grau contribution. Do you think that was his intention?
Well due to over aggressive mods I won't be doing that. If you are lurking here FRANK read it and weep!

Great for pulp out of print sci fi, horror and trashy smut, bloody awful for Dostoevsky. I need to free up some shelf space. I went back to paperbacks after having an old kindle for a while. They’re great for travelling but most of the time I read books in bed. I’ve got four bookshelves, one unassembled. |

Great for pulp out of print sci fi, horror and trashy smut, bloody awful for Dostoevsky. I hate the Kindle, much prefer the feel and smell of a paperback. Kindles are soulless. Plus I think the Kindle somehow measures and reports back on which pieces of text you read repeatedly and read faster and slower than normal, so that particularly smutty passage you liked in Lady Chatterley's lover is a matter of record buddy. |

Book club:
I'm reading Hawksmoor by Peter Ackroyd. It is so far an utterly impenetrable first person narrative told in ye olde englishe, you know, like how Loan Wilf "spells" things.

I’ve got 5 bookshelves, 3 of which are 2m billy jobs stacked 2 books deep and 3 large cardboard boxes. It’s getting a bit silly.
A freind of mine, visiting and old house, one said “you can tell a lot about a person by the way they organise their bookshelves” about 10 seconds later he said “it’s a shambles, you’ve got 2 copies of this and 3 copies of the same edition of that, you’re a fucking lunatic”
the main thing is that I know where they are. Fuck everyone else. It’s like the Finis Africae.
