You head straight over the Bad Thread to share your horror. You wonder if self-isolation will allow GRRM to focus on getting The Winds of Winter finished before laughing at your own foolishness.

You fondly look back over the games of your youth. This collection got you through a very difficult period during college and university and you have a strong emotional attachment to it. It's a great collection of banging games and also Star Ocean III for some reason???

Oh poo poo, Tesco is fully booked for the next three months, Sainsburys isn't accepting new registrations, Ocado isn't even letting you browse the website unless you've already got a delivery coming.

You go north. Ouch! You rub the growing bump on your head. Perhaps you should have opened the door first.
