Games: Rise of the Tombraider. Its a bit shit isn't it. It's Tomb Raider innit. I liked Tomb Raider 1 and 2. This new one just seems simplistic and hand holdy.

Games: Rise of the Tombraider. Its a bit shit isn't it. A game consisting of 90% quick time events. A perfect example of " things were better in my day". Garbage. OTTM: some ruins for my fantasy horror game

I feel like an absolute shit, as 2 of my friends in the oil industry have just found out they're being binned, and a mate who works at Caterpillar is potentially on the list as well. They all have young kids, and all I've got are some cats and a collection of the finest paints. Feels bad man. One of my closest friends has recently found out he's being made redundant, also in the oil industry. He's got young kids, mortgage, loads of debt. I couldn't really care less though. Fuck him. Not my problem.

Bouncy castles and trampolines should be fucking banned. As should any levity or loud children outdoors.
In fact lock them up indoors until they can learn to just be bloody quiet.
Middle age is hitting hard.
Hi
Games: Titanfall 2. I remain shit, but shit with a kd above 1, so that's fine.
OTTM: The Company have decided we're getting our pay rises after all. That combined with Mrs Zord not being made redundant, I feel like an absolute shit, as 2 of my friends in the oil industry have just found out they're being binned, and a mate who works at Caterpillar is potentially on the list as well. They all have young kids, and all I've got are some cats and a collection of the finest paints. Feels bad man.

A couple of the lads in IT sorted me out remote access to my desktop machine - saving me going in as from there I can get to stuff on the network they can't provide remotely. But I got an email on Fri saying I need to start going in on Thursdays from this week. Will be in on Thursday but luckily I'm on leave the following two. Trying to source one of those canes with a sword in it for the trains. Umbrella with the explosive ricin tip not cutting it?

I've had to come back on site to use a specific system that cant be accessed remotely. IT have fucked that system over the weekend and it cant be used until 3PM at the earliest. This aggression will not stand. So I'm fucking off home at lunch time, fuck this noise.

Gaming protip:never go from playing Breath of the Wild to a similar adventure game. Switched to playing Dinobots and, unlike Link, Aloy cannot gently float down after jumping off a cliff. Poor girl is a red smear in a deep canyon.

Faceless's Book Review #1: Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. It was ok. It's the weakest of The Culture novels, purely by being the first one. They get a lot better. By the time you get to Excession they are among the best, if not the best, sci fi series.

I've been playing Dark Souls 2. Live, die, die, die, die, die, die ,die ,die ,die, die, repeat. Amipal, that what being 40 feels like as well, so happy birthday and welcome to the slow crawl into decrepitude. Also I've been making some horror fantasy scenery.

Woah woah woah, are you saying I could also be getting STORIES and FUN?! Man I've been mis-sold yoga. When I was partaking of the yoga, it was in a class and there was a certain amount of ommmmming and the occasional hitting of a little gong and other mystical chat that really helped you forget about the challenges of bending and stretching by filling you with an indescribably visceral rage. How do you replicate that conducive atmosphere when you are pulling your moves solo in front of youtube? I just remind myself that some unwashed hippy is probably being paid as much as I am to bang a gong and chat shit to middle aged yummy mummys. That tends to build the inner rage up to acceptable* levels. *ie where it feels like maybe a vessel is about to burst in your head and you can taste copper. That's good for you, right?

Melvazord Talk to me about your sweet yoga moves. I had a 6 month dalliance with it last year, but stopped after I hurt my arm getting out of the bath (not a yoga move, NB). I really struggled with the ones where you stood on your shoulders, and am pretty sure I would have broken my neck at one point if the lady in charge hadn't grabbed my ankles before I tipped over. I'm a pilates convert now. I've been following this bloke on youtube Sean VigueHes just enough of a Californian-sun-and-happiness-dude-type hippy you believe he knows what hes talking about but not so much you want to smash his skull in with a rock.* Dolphin makes me want to kill myself and everyone around me, it's one of my favourites because you end up being so glad it's just over. *its this kind of attitude that the yoga is doing nothing to suppress.

You are dangerously out of control. So who isn't! Only Melvazord, painting war dollies, fibre and doing yoga keeps him balanced... Dont forget the screaming, the never ending existential screaming.

Games:Titanfall 2. K/d is 1.4, but 2.0 for last 10 games. It such a shame that this isnt played as much as Apex, because frankly Apex is slow and dull compared to TF2 multiplayer.
OTTM: I've gotten into Yoga in a big way, and I'm afraid I may become a fibre-wanker. Luckily I haven't got enough hair for a top knot.
Breakfast: pure organic fibre, you've probably never heard of it.

CIV VI was free on Epic Games a few weeks ago. My brother got me the PS4 version of CIV VI for a Christmas gift, I've still not plucked up the courage to tell him I did one play through and went back to CIV V. I did the same, but after I'd given it a couple of goes I actually prefer it to V now.

Only Hamilton I'm interested in races cars. Except when hes getting penalties. Hes a great racer but I hope he fucks it this year because it's boring how dominant he is . Him getting 4th is a good start, and our boy Lando getting 3rd and fastest lap is amazing.
Hope Bottas can keep it going this year, but by past experience I doubt it.

I haven't been in site in 3 months, but social distancing at work is still a thing. It's a site rule now, from our safety management team, that if someone comes within 2m of you it must be reported as a "near miss" accident.
My office has 3 guys in it. If the middle desk is occupied, then that's a near miss. If the guy on the inner most desk wants to leave the office, that's a near miss. All the offices are like this.
The corridor is less than 2m wide. If you walk past an open office door then that's a near miss.
If people actually report these then they'll get about 100 a day from our department alone. Ridiculous.
Also, a member of one of the other teams made some alcohol scrub for the department to use. He was supposed to dilute it so that it was a 70% solution. He did not do this, so people have been washing their hands with 100% alcohol. Apparently he didn't know the difference between "dilute" and "decant". This is a man with a masters in chemistry from Imperial College. He has handed in his notice. No one is sad.

The following rant is rated for mature audiences only. Contains swearing, and a picture of a quite horrible mature. Even if a mask only had a minimal effect, why would you not wear one? This is what Covid does to your lungs. I dont want that, and i dont want to be the person responsible that causes someone to get that. Frankly, I cant even understand why it's even a debate anymore. Countries which have initiated mandatory mask wearing in enclosed areas have shown a reduced infection rate. At this point it should be a legal requirement to wear one indoors in public. Doing our big shop last night and apart from one older Asian lady, me and Mrs zord were the only people wearing them, including the shop staff. Some fat gammon looked at me like I had two heads. Fuck these idiots feelings, fuck their "oh it makes it hard to breath". Does it fuck. I used to work a job that required wearing an n95 mask for anything up to 6 hours at a time, and I died on a daily basis. Oh no wait, I didn't. You can put on a mask for 20 minutes to buy some fucking boxed shiraz Chantelle. Edit : oh and games. No.

Shit chat up lines that work somehow:
A friend of mine used to grab some ice from the bar, walk over to the table where his mammal of choice was sat, sit down and crush the ice. The he would retort "now that we've broken the ice..."
I never once saw it fail to work, and he had a face like a builders thumb.

Dr Bashir = DS9's resident sex-pest. Have started rewatching DS9 as there are only so many times you can rewatch TNG* Times have certainly changed. An early episode has Sisko just grab Kira by the elbow and fling her round to face him like some 50s broad when they're having an arguement about her professionalism. Yeah, she's the unprofessional one mate. Straight to Space HR. Sure as shit he never did that to o'Brien.** *this is a lie ** o'Brien would have knocked him out to be fair "feckin take me by the feckin arm would yez?!" *clatter*
