Afternoon youz lotz.
My day has been nothing to write about, so I won't.
Amigablog - I've been going through the Retro Gamer Amiga "book" to identify any "top games" I might have missed. They've got Rise of the Robots listed for all three machines (500/1200/CD32) - they must be taking the piss.

Yes, Switch is good, Switch is life, Switch is good for avoiding people.
Danky, sorry I mean 😏🦕🌿, is the only pioneer with a Lite here, I think.
I play mainly in docked mode (apparently known as "TV group sessions" to some) as I have a monitor separate from the telly, but being able to take my console everywhere, outside or in the house, is just such a wonderful amazing feature.
Some people are very self conscious about gaming in public, not me. I mean, everyone's on some device or another these days and I'd rather be seen playing a game than scrolling through celebrity gossip on my phone in public.*
Some game genres are served better than others, and if it's EA games you are after, forget it - EA hates the Switch. But it's become a veritable paradise for RPGs and Indie games, and the exclusive offerings are generally very strong. The library is growing steadily with new games while more and more evergreens are being ported over to become truly portable for the first time.
So yes, would recommend although I personally wouldn't want the Lite version.**
*I fully realise that this is not the only alternative on offer.
**Edit: I mean, if someone is thinking about buying me one I wouldn't say no. Turquoise, please, if possible.

Hi.
1. I don't understand Danky's pictogram name.
2. I've been at one of those escape rooms today. It was genuinely excellent, and a lot better than I expected. We completed it in 65 of the allotted 60 minutes.
3. After that we went to Five Guys. They rip you off on the refill drinks so I asked for just 2 for the kids, with myself and the preferred mammal planning to go without. Then the woman said ok, here take 2 additional for the adults for free. I do not appreciate this kind of transaction. If I'd asked for 4 drinks they'd have charged me for all 4. Plus, they are refillable so what's to stop you just getting one and sharing it? A lot of grey areas. Where is the social contract? How the shuddering hell are you supposed to plan your order with all that kicking around your noggin?
4. AOCB?

The portions are too big at five guys. One portion of fries does two folk and the small burger is enough.
I realise as having seen folk in Glasgow eat there when I have then this is not the popular opinion.
Soup bubbling away on the go and everything chopped up for Pasta dinner.

I am a Five Guys agnostic. I only know Ed's Easy Diner.
I just realised that I misinterpreted Babyfark's random rebus name puzzle. I thought the last one was a picture of the Eiffel Tower, not a rocket.
Also, the other items appear way different depending on the browser. This emoji stuff is proto-cuneiform all over again, so let me remind you we were done with that shit 5,000 years ago.

Yrdnal Ecilef, it was the name of one of the mysterious elves in the Poetic Edda, who made predictions about Yggdrasil. The name Yrdnal also appears a couple of times in Tolkien's works, you daft ignoramus.
The door policy in here is shot to shit.

Currently 60% reptile, 30% aloe Vera, 20% human residue.
In other words it is still bloody hot.

That he would mystifyingly stop posting in September 2018? Has he sailed into the West, where (as the elders tell) the Wi-Fi is patchy? |

He's still playing PS4 so the wi-fi ain't that patchy.
Let's see.
I'm friends with him on PS4. He stops posting.
I'm friends with Bloggie on PS4. He stops posting.
I'm friends with Wee cooper on PS4...
Is there some sort of common denominator?

As if the Five Guys drinks ordering scenario wasn't enough of a mindfuck, a couple of weeks ago they let me have my bottle of water for free in Pret. I asked why but I was not given a satisfactory answer. What the hell is going on in the fast food drinks economy?

Just played apex again on GeForce Now!
Playing on a 7" tablet with a controller against folk on PC's with 144hz 23" monitors.
Yeah crank you deluded fool keep telling yourself that's why you died..
Need to shove it back on the PS4.
There's chat about a new Nvidia shield TV box. I want a new Nvidia tablet instead. The TV box works fine still.
Glass of Merlot.
