Finding myself struggling to not just type WHY THE FUCK DO YOU TALK LIKE THAT under most gaming videos I see these days. Like there's been a tone and cadence shift over the last couple of years that I can only guess is what you get when everyone buys prompters but no one knows how to read from them.
Used the phrase "I don't know, how long is a piece of string?" on a call with a bunch of American folks today and not one of them had ever heard of it.
So...that made look like I was being a total asshole.
Shower started leaking into the lounge three months back. Today is the 15th of what will apparently be 20 total visits by a combination of the landlord, plumber, and builder to replace the shower cubicle.
Bedroom is a building site, there's no shower...but at least the rent went up £100 this month.
Items I ordered from Japan on Wednesday...delivered this morning by Royal Mail.
Items I ordered from the UK last Wednesday...undelivered by Royal Mail thus far, as they were "unable to attempt a delivery" (whatever that means) on Thursday, Saturday, and today.
Just sold a big box of Ute no Prince-sama stuff that has been in the store for months.
Could be a reseller. Could be a streamer buying backdrop stuff. But I swear it gives me life that the woman who bought it could just be a huge Ute no Prince-sama fan and just got something awesome.
46 years ago on April 5, 1980, the band played their first show. Sandra-Lee Phipps took these photos that historic night in Athens at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Oconee Street.
So... I'm reading a thread where UK folks are discussing registering as self-employed so they can open a business bank account, get business insurance, then use that insurance as proof to get a Costco card...to buy Pokémon cards there.
There’s nothing I don’t like about this. The shit joke on the wrong day. The dummy who can’t work it out. The way Grok says shit like ‘legends’ and ‘peak’ and ‘glow-up’ as if it’s just started dating my mum and is trying to get me onside.
Talked down to for about 10 minutes by a junior developer. I sat there laughing and drinking coffee until he mentioned that the tool he's built is "perfectly in line with the company's core tenants."
Only ten past nine on Monday, and I think I'm done for the week.
I wrote some old nonsense about how I'm old and there are old games and I like them more than new ones. Not sure what the point is, but I liked doing the writing fing with the words and stuff.
So I just played Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2 for an hour. Been on the shelf for ages. Not played it before. Fun enough. Isn’t the greatest game in the world. But it might be the thing that kills off modern gaming for me.
I can feel a half-assed, sweary article coming on.
