Those B-movie RPGs from Europe like Two Worlds: II and Gothic. They come so close to being good and have their own quirks.

Another is Indie boomer shooters and mods for the classics like the my house wad. But that could be me because boomer shooters are my favourite kinds of games

Early Guy Richie because the plots are incredibly layered and a plan that never works out is always a big part of the story.

The best are Lock Stock, and Snatch. Your favourite will be whichever of the two you watch first

Mother II has walkable cities, facilities like libraries, and reliable public transport. But you do eat burgers to survive

I feel like things made in the UK are either dogshit and fall apart or are absolutely massive and will run forever. There is no in between

My 18 month old son was shoveling potting mix into the back of a toy dump truck the other day.

I didn't tech him that. It must be instinct

Season 1 has the strong hook of finding Will. I only watched season 2 after but it just lost the urgency as all the characters were back together.

They needed something stronger to happen every season or it just turns into a melodrama. And you can't do The Hangover and have Will disappear every season.

Oh yeah, this sounds like Master and Commander for trains

I'll put train videos on for the kids, but there's so much more going on with a steam train.

Steam is billowing out of everywhere, they're just this massive piece of infrastructure, it's like taming the elements with an unholy union of water and fire - natural enemies in the wild, and you get to feel like a hero because you're helping people get to places.

I put linux on an old laptop for my kids to play with, but I want them to see me using it as well so it's not just seen as a kids' toy.

My plan was to browse the internet on it from time to time, but I don't want to sign into anything like my emails on there.

I've just been completely at a loss to think ofthings to do on this laptop that aren't Wikipedia, news websites, and search.

Is there anything else to do on the internet these days than login and doomscroll?

How does the embodiment of Actually Existing America get any work done when the embodiment of America As A Concept is flying around outside with super hearing?

They found a conservative goths Facebook group a little while ago. And it was funny then, the idea is so stupid.

But they've talked about memes from the group for a few weeks now and they say the phrase 'conservative goths' so casually. It's not even a bit any more, it's just a normal phrase to them.

And that just makes it funnier. The funniest part of the most recent episode was when Alex would just say 'conservative goths' like it was a normal phrase in a normal sentence.

They need to find a new group, I don't think I can take another straight line delivery of conservative goths.

I'm working with a business to sort out all their Facebook and Instagram pages, and try get them all grouped under one Business account.

They're a musical instrument importer who have a bunch of pages that have been created by different people over the years and they've had trouble migrating them all into once place where they can see everything.

They have access to all the pages and Instagram profiles, but some are through a company profile they created, some through the personal profile of a guy that works there, and some other loose accounts.

They've sent requests from the controlling profiles to the account they want to have access to all the page, but the requests are sitting pending in the blackhole of Meta's backend.

They've sent requests, tried to get in touch with support, and even sent over documents proving the existence of the business to Facebook, but nothing happens.

All the help articles that are the first results wherever you search aren't useful either. They don't reflect the messy nature of Facebook tinkering with everything and the reality of trying to share access to pages that have existed since 2007.

I'd love to hear if you've had any experience with this. If I can get this sorted out it should mean more work for me down the line with them.

Just beyond your team?

When there's enough people you'd have to click that little arrow in Teams to see everyone?

Anytime you're in presenter mode and everyone else is on mute?

Let me know, I might say it some time
