Just spotted these Sega Megadrive dioramas in my local B&M Bargains (UK) and nabbed a Street Fighter 2 one.
They also had Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Altered Beast, all £12.99 each. Could be a good cheap pressie for a Sega fan.

Looking to see how a mini-guide I'd written was ranking, only to run into this Google AI 'solution'. It's not even stealing a solution this time, this is just complete nonsense. This puzzle is not sodding solitaire.

UK Fallout fans, these figures, including the build-a-deathclaw range, are now available from B&M Bargains.
They're not exactly a bargain at £20 for the two pack (including deathclaw piece) and £10 for the solo figures, but the moment they drop in price I'm snagging a bunch.

This, at least, is easy to spot, but ChatGPT will just make things up. I asked ChatGPT how a classic TV episode ended and whereas a human would admit not having the answer, ChatGPT lied and continued to lie.
