What's the world coming to when you can't show your testicles off at the local pub!
Brexit now!
Oh.

Afternoon all.
Thanks for your help earlier. I am now in mobile-version bliss.
Gamesblog - another restaurant built, this time at the pyramid. And another visit to foreign shores for more inhabitants. I also came back with three dogs.
TVblog - nope.
OTTM - I visited a surgery in Brighton this morning. Their car park was of course packed, so I went and found some parking on the street next to the park it was opposite. Now, I am always a diligent and legal parker, but in this case, I was almost late for my appointment.
Reader, I parked on double yellow lines. I never do this. Ever. First time in 20 years of driving.
And so, naturally, the universe visited a parking inspector upon my vehicle.

About 80% of the people of Brighton are traffic wardens.
Why would you even think of parking in violation of the regulations there?

Scamander: I went to Rome at the weekend - your neck of the woods. It's ancient af. The Pantheon was my favourite of the bits we actually had time to go into. Outer Worlds: I liked it for a few hours as it had that Fallout feel. However, it got old for me pretty quick. Too much NPC chatting, combat isn't very fun, and lacks the convincing sense of place you get from F3 and FNV. It's ok. |

Everyone agrees The Outer Worlds is a bit dull and repetitive, endless conversations with the same bland characters telling you their opinions about everything and ottm, and in the end none of those conversations made any difference to anything.
Only an idiot would spend time on it.
...Tom Yum instant noodles and a packet of ready salted crisps.

Scamander
Is that the £22 exhibition? I was thinking of visiting, but have so far been deterred by the price. Also I may have left it late now.
I'd recommend Pillars Of Eternity over The Outer Worlds.
It is not as user friendly to start with, but it is a lot less annoying in most ways.
Obviously it is a completely different sort of RPG, but you can't have everything.

Only slight annoyance is the gloon they arein combined with the lights. Lits of reflection and glare at points. Pkenty of omcontent though. I was looking at PoE oddly enough. It comes with strong reviews so perhaps I'll pick it up. |

Games - delved into my GOG library, played Uplink. A hacking game based around computer menus. Despite being sure I was bored, I sank 2 hours into it.

Afternoon 'box. So far today in sunny / rainy (delete as appropriate) Sutton Coldfield and Solihull it's been sun / rain / sun / rain / sun. Looking forward to the forecast snow tonight. Cunting climate and weather.
Top hifi chat yesterday, reason my 7.2 is not set up properly is partly due to the arc not working when the ps4 is cabled into the tv's 4k hdmi socket. Something isn't quite right as the tv > amp part is working correctly. Can't be bothered to figure it out as a new amp is inbound this year all being well.
James: Bioshock. Killed the big daddy. Joyous. Sheep, I found a hole in which to hide and shoot him from safely. Cheesey - yes. Do I care - no. Now onto parts of the game I've never seen before.
OTTM: Dog started his meds today. So far the parents haven't called to say he's dead so that's a victory as far as I am concerned.

First cheating at a photography competition, then parking on a double yellow line - caught and punished swiftly every time. When will Scamipal learn that crime does not pay?

To be fair to amipal it must be tough finding safe parking in a town where you will get keyed by the parking wardens unless your car runs on muesli and mung beans.

Amipal's intervention
< Babyfark takes the talking pillow >
Amipal I just want things to go back to normal and to the time you didn't cheat, park illegally and (maybe) huff paint thinner outside the school gates.

Morjing all, off work today and wiggling from home, out and about in the big smoke.
Games - too tired for games last night but I’ve picked up Dragon quest of the stars on that phone this morning. The usual types that play these weird mobile gacha games (registered sex offenders) seem to hate it, which I think is a good sign.
Might be one for the DQB2 lot

Morning
Today is my Wednesday as am worving from home. This was unplanned, but forced on me by shoddy German automotive workmanship in my car's dual-mass flywheel suddenly becoming two single-mass flywheels.... and after only 148000 miles.
Insult to injury, the NHS have finally tracked me down and apparently I am booked in for an old-farts MOT in a couple of weeks. Hopefully no major prodding is in order, and I get a better report than the motor. Apparently this is now a 5 year process, until either myself or the NHS get too decrepit to bother.
lunch - toast and brie.

TV. For some reason I downloaded and watched 15 mins of the High Fidelity TV show on the commute. An afro American women doing Jack black. It's fucking shite.
Games. Was going to play Forza but ended up running around in The Division 2 with my pal shooting folk in the face.
OTTM. Copied that 85GB of Andrew Weatherall mixes that got mentioned on twitter into my Google drive. As my pal said "that's 2020s listening sorted then"
