Can you opt out of the extra bits? I'm all for a good fancy haircut for a good price, but I want to be in and out in 25 mins, not there for 1hr 20 getting a shoulder massage.

So, I have a limited budget and I've pretty much exhausted the single player variants of my board game collection. Never gamed a huge amount, but having seen hbomberguy's latest I'm tempted to try New Vegas. Would it be staggeringly stupid to buy a used PS3 and a copy of the game?

I imagine so. The place I go to offers the same but if you want a quick cut and go they won't be offended. If there's a long queue at the one I visit, they'll give you a complimentary beer from the mini fridge.

River outside (10m from my flat) rising rapidly. Highest since February this year when it reached the highest ever (but just under 2m to go to beat that). Rising at around 8cm per 15 mins at the moment. Think I might go and put the sandbags out when it goes over 5m this evening - heavy rain to continue for another 4 hours or so and the river peaks some hours later when it comes down from further upstream.

Sure, but probably go in expecting bugs and crashiness. I can't remember how much it improved with updates, but on release it was a piece of poo poo.

I don't know if it's the case with New Vegas, but every other Bethesda RPG has a fan-made patch on PC because eventually Bethesda just give up trying to fix bugs

Bethesda really neglected the PS3 as a platform - you’d be better off getting a used Xbox 360 and getting New Vegas on that. Still buggy but performance is superior.

New Vegas plus all DLC is currently £7.49 in the Steam sale, so you might as well; the requirements are a dual core CPU and 2GB RAM, so I'm pretty sure that any three year old laptop will run it no matter how cheap and lovely.

Just put sandbags down outside the two back doors (nearest the river) to our block. They're also the fire exits so not ideal! But needs must overnight! I'm thinking tomorrow I'll try and bring them to the inside of the doors though the weather has been predicted to be a lot drier over the next couple of weeks so maybe won't need to. It's just the speed at which the river rises that's alarming - up 2m in 10 hours. One of my friends in Gloucestershire has just posted photos this evening - he's been flooded.

Convex posted:https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/dec/23/eu-countries-prepare-for-possible-imminent-brexit-deal I guess shutting down just lorries for 2 days creating a sense of panic in the general public and potentially a 4000 strong multicultural riot at Dover has finally driven the point home to the government about what they're potentially going to cause with No Deal and they're begging for neutral language in the statement of their total capitulation.
