😂 Love UK weather. Wife did Park Run today, two photos taken in the same spot-first one, brilliant sunshine, so warm jacket was off: second time she came around, dark grey skies and it was an actual snowy blizzard-jacket back on 😂 Gotta love UK weather.

I like the Blue. Happy for the original games to remain green, but I think the blue makes a decent change.

Nope. I had TOTK shipped on release day, I only took on Gannondorf August this year! Savour the moment, helps you get properly immersed in the game!

I never throw tech boxes. I pride myself on the condition of my gear when I sell it, so all boxes have tie wraps, cellophane etc etc., so the new owner can get *as close* to the original experience as possible. Sad but satisfying😂

I’ve still got my Switch copy of Axiom Verge, boxed and unplayed. Should really get on that… 😬

Yes!! Thought I was just being picky, but I hate it. It’s not simple like it used to be, it’s faffy. Several occasions now ive ‘started’ a workout, only to finish it 20 mins later and it’s not actually even started. The software designers seem intent on ruining everything at the moment.

I *never* want to use a digital key card for a game. If I’m spending AAA money on a first party fam, I want it physical. This is a bad move IMO.

Yeah, it is. All the good managers are still in their jobs, all the unsuccessful managers are floating between different clubs every 6 months. Be a shock if Wolves go down. We’re never a Prem. quality club, but better than League 1. We’ll see.

Well, I’m not keen on any that have been rumoured so far-fans want Farke back by all accounts. I’d have him again but only when he was successful 😂

We’re getting the girls their first iPad & Pencil for Xmas this year (joint pressie) & am getting ProCreate for them: but I do have the Affinity iPad app bundled with my V2 License, so am going to give them a shot to see how they fare. Never replace the desktop app though!

Ok. Maybe I was a little harsh. I just remember seeing Wolves on MOTD week after week, getting worse & worse under GON. NCFC have a habit of signing sacked managers & expecting results. We need results & fast: fans response seem positive but I wasn’t sold. We’re 2nd from bottom so need progress!

What a load of garbage. iPod Socks = Yes. This? = no, no, no. For that money, I could buy an old iPod, whack an SSD in it, buy some original iPod Socks and not look like a complete twat.

As long as it doesn’t change into yet another subscription service… I have Apple One and pay a premium for all these extras, if they add another tier on to that I’ll be really pissed.

I’ve had 2 x Mac Mini’s in the last 18 Months-a 2023 M2, and now an M4. The M4 was a decent spec bump so I replaced whilst the M2 was under a year old. Always had iMacs (apart from my first G4 iBook!), and have to say, wish I’d have made the decision sooner! Great little device!

Yeah, I get it. I’ve got some really cool models in the loft all broken down and bagged/boxed which is a shame, but they’re so big, or there are so may, can’t justify having them out. Shame!

I do get that things evolve, and you have to move past Steve’s passing. But, even I’m finding it hard to defend some of Apples recent choices. I feel the departure of Ive was the last part of Steve’s legacy that was able to maintain what Steve had created.
