I got it on steam for £8.32 not too long ago (including all the DLC bundled). Even as a casual gamer, I'm enjoying it ( though I kinda suck at it). Definitely don't regret buying it.

If you got one question wrong in Bamboozle, you had to start all the way from the beginning.

My sisters and I would play snap with the Argos catalogue on a regular basis. Then we'd get into squabbles because "I was gonna snap that one!" "That's not fair, I snapped it first!"

I used to love his books as a kid. It was only as an adult that I realised that torturing and murdering children was his favourite theme in his kids books.

Mucked up a whole magazine I was making. Even though I fixed it on my netbook, when I transferred it to my PC, the layout became a garbled mess. Next time, I'm gonna used Scribus, even if you have to select a different font just to make text bold.

My old Lenovo tablet's charging plug has the port upside down, also the tablet itself has the micro USB upside down because of this, so my cable always had to do a little twist when I wanted to charge any other micro USB devices with it.

When I got my USB-C phone, I just swapped the plugs around.

Give me the Necropolis, or give me death!

Hey, that's my family history! How did you get that?

My fella quit smoking at the end of September and has been using a reusable vape to stay off. I'm not a fan of vapes myself, but it's definitely preferable to fags.

In my thread asking for advice on how to support him quitting, a lot of advice was: use vapes

I had a listen to the Sliced Bread podcast about it hoping it might help wean him off vapes, but after listening to it, I feel a bit better about it. Link if you're interested https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qtqk

It's like when companies make a big fuss about how their clothes are made from recycled plastic bottles - so eco! - but instead of plastic bottles in the seas, it's now microfibres from your clothing shedding into the washing machine and entering the water that way. I wish there was more movement towards hemp fabric.

Getting a workplace unionised is an uphill battle here too. Unless your company already has an officially recognised union, no one wants to join. I tell them it's £9.65 a month and they're like, yeah forget it.

What bothers me about where I work is as a bike technician, we actually have the same job title and pay as the till staff who do no skilled work at all. And on top of that, we also have to cover for them (for instance, even though I work in the bike section, I was forced to do car seat training even though the auto section till staff should be the ones doing it). So we're doing skilled work, plus their work and we get the same pay. But no one is interested. They'll grumble and groan, but actually doing something about it is too much to ask.

I've only just got a computer that can play games from 2005 onwards (no kidding my netbook could handle sims 2 at the most). I've also started playing Witcher 3 (got the complete collection for £8) and just bought a controller the other day. I don't care about fancy cutting edge graphics; good storyline and gaming experience is what matters.

Why are union subs so high in the US? As a part time worker I pay under a tenner a month, but even as a full time worker, I'd be paying £16.

Yeah, depersonalization is common in us schizoids.

It's common for schizoids, for example. Personally, I've noticed that it's more likely to happen the more social contact I've had. Generally I feel a disconnect with my reflection and if I need to look in the mirror when getting dressed or doing my hair I just avoid eye contact. .

At work, if I catch my reflection in a shiny bolt or something while I'm working on a bike, I flinch and have to look away, it makes me feel so uncomfortable.

I also get that floating feeling when having to talk to customers, like it's not me and I'm observing someone else from a distance.

It's fun asking kids, if 100 is knowing everything and zero is knowing nothing, how much do you know? And they'll answer something like 80 or 90.

Then you ask them how many words they know in the dictionary. Then you ask how many words they know in other languages. And then they realise they don't know much at all and agree the answer is something more like 0.0000000000001. (needs more zeros)

Michael Fabricant is feeling left out.

Did that, computer temporarily died.

Power button has rescue rights. I had to use the power button after Windows forced an update on Friday and my tower just sat there powered on but doing nothing for an hour, no signal to the monitor. Now I feel bad, it was probably just high on drugs.

Linux mint, I just type sudo apt update and I'm done.
