My favourite cheese is mild cheddar. I only take cheese for my cheese on toast. With white medium hovis.

Blue cheese on toast is loving nice to be fair.

I don't think I've ever actually heard one of the sausage roll songs. Didn't even realise there was any controversy about them.

Really A Christmas Carol is the story of how the rich discovered selective philanthropy as a way to write off tax and launder their reputations. Sick poo poo tbh.

I was looking at Football Manager 22 achievements this afternoon and I'm impressed at "First Victory: You guided your team to victory in a competitive fixture" not being achieved by 15% of players. And 15.1% haven't signed a player despite you being able to do this almost on day 1.

I tend to install games, run them to make sure they work then not get round to playing them properly for months (if ever). Especially if it's cheap on sale and I'm not desperate to play it. I assume a lot of people do the same.

Forbidden West was fun but dear lord it didn't half suffer from absymal handholding. I do not want the player character to yell 'HUH, MAYBE I SHOULD ENTER THIS CODE INTO THAT DOOR' within ten seconds of entering a puzzle area. At least give it a few minutes. The game would be far better if it had an option to turn off those dialogue lines. I don't think every game has to leave you to the wolves like a soulsborne, but come on I do want to at least play a game here.

God of War Ragnarok does the same thing - except there are multiple characters telling you the solution to every puzzle, sometimes as many as four.

And then when a difficult puzzle does come along and you struggle with it for 20 minutes everyone stays silent.

Is it signposted in any way that that's what it's supposed to teach you, or is it just smashing your genitals with a hammer until you realise you need to do that because it's too hard otherwise?

You can only attempt it once, and it's like 50 hours before you come back for another crack.

Oh dear me posted:

No, not the first boss, the second, supposedly easier one. You can't go anywhere else, you just have to stay in the same tunnel grinding away until you beat it. I find repetition insufferable and I don't experience any sort of joy if I finally manage some video game task, so mods are the only way I can enjoy a ton of games.

What, Margit? He's optional - like almost every boss. I also found him incredibly difficult for such an early boss - in the early stages it sort of depends on your build.

If they were to add difficulty modes I'd expect 'normal' to be the equivalent of the other games - and they'd heavily signpost that it's the intended experience but you can lower it if you want - but there'd be nothing higher than normal.

You don't need harder difficulties - people can create their own challenges in NG++++.

I was hospitalised for a week with a chest infection in early December, which set off my undiagnosed asthma and caused a nasty bought of "not breathing well enough to get enough oxygen to live". I feel like I've got an infection again these last few days but since I actually have a preventer inhaler now I can breathe fine. I'll be hosed off if I've managed to get two in the space of a month.

It's true what they say about maths having a hard ceiling that most people just won't break through. I forced myself to do A level maths, even after getting a D at AS level and re-sitting - and it was a pointless mistake and a waste of everyone's time.

I honestly didn't even realise you could be fined for littering unless you were literally flytipping fridges and poo poo. Seems kinda wild and given the state of every town in the UK I cannot imagine it is enforced more than 0.000001% of the time.

I guess it's pretty hard to get caught unless you fail to notice a uniformed bloke walking behind you.

So does he actually tell the owl story as part of a comedy routine or is it just an anecdote he once said?

I have a vague recollection of him doing an offensive Chinese impression in one of his shows but I don't remember well enough to say it actually happened. He seems like a nice enough guy generally though.

Unfortunately I have lost the ability to be in contact with guinea pigs because I burst out into lumps, I think it's the bedding because I have the same reaction with rabbits. They are cute though.

That sucks. I'm starting to think I have an allergy to them, since recently it's set off my asthma every time I've cleaned out the pig cage.
