Agreed, and thank you as always.
This reminds me, me and my wonderful wife are planning on Belfast in the future. I'll have to pick your brains!

As someone who worked there and travelled there almost every other year until recently, we've completely changed our plans and we're now doing Europe and the Far East. We're in the same boat.
And I'm a white middle-class man. My best man lives in NC and carries his papers every day. Fuck that.

Might have to check it with Google. It's a fucking joke - the fact they used my headline and phrasing verbatim and put it out four hours after mine, and rank top on carousel, is disgraceful

I think you get a sweet 50G for landing on a previously unexplored planet which I got first time, so it's not all bad!

Haha, sorry, should have been clearer. Exploring in the buggy 😅 I suppose the buggy is buggy though!

Honestly, they really need to make a Hylian Shield!

I'm definitely gonna check it out, but the average collab set is 10c a piece and this is 12

The second LEGO Zelda set has been announced! It's also a bit pricey. The jury remains out until I see it in person.
Still, the Ganon model looks better than the Pikachu one from earlier this week

The New LEGO Zelda ‘Ocarina Of Time’ Set Looks Great, But Pricey
The LEGO Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093) set, which follows the massive Great Deku Tree, looks great, but is it what OG fans want?

I get that. It's not fair. I was lucky with my brothers - my mum really struggled, but who could blame her.

Not directly, though. I've read similar reports - honestly, as much as I half-believe it, we'll never know, even when he dies. After all, he's had "perfect MRIs"

You too pal. We might perhaps disagree here, but I'm so sorry you're going through what you are. It's never easy, and it's something I'd never wish on my own enemy. Hope your family and/or friends are giving you the support you need

I saw my own dad die with it. But dementia isn't a one size fits all thing. Dementia, Alzheimer's, Lewy body, etc all have very different symptoms. I'm not a doctor, and as much as he's an absolute bag of spoons, I'm not going to diagnose him beyond the immediately obvious

Getting older, sure. As someone who's seen relatives and a parent with dementia, I just don't think it's that - yet. It's narcissism, enablement and possibly medication.

I'm one of the biggest fans of Thirsty Suitors, and I will literally drop everything in my life to play Dosa Divas from minute one.
My review of TS here. What a game.

Mine was presumably American so it only worked in black and white - as did any of the copied games I wangled with it!

The Arachnotrons and Hell Knights are abhorrent. TBH I got stuck on Alpha Quadrant for ages, and it's only level 5 or 6
