I’ve never been able to find a default game I can fall back on when I’m bored.

I see some people constantly playing the same game. I can’t do that. I lose interest so easily.

Anyone else like that? If not, what’s the game you default to?

I’m hooked on and I’m pretty sure I’m getting real close to the end.

The sad thing is I now have to go to bed to make sure I have at least some sleep before getting up to take my son to nursery and be somewhat cognitive for work.

Bank holiday weekends just aren’t long enough! 😅

It might be controversial to a lot of people here but I don’t care.

I fucking detest Linux. Burn it. Burn it with fire. Like, lots of fire. 🔥

I’ve started testing out alternatives to as they’re putting their prices up yet again! £20pm for Family plan now. 🙄

I’ve started with as I had a 2-month free trial, but the Windows app is trash. It keeps telling me playback has stopped on another device. It wasn’t playing on another device in the first place. Also songs just randomly stops playing or starts from the beginning again. 🤦‍♂️

Might try and next.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Just started . Apparently I’ve played it a bit before but I have recollection of this at all. 😅

I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. I hate going to weddings. Especially ones where I basically don’t know anyone.

It’s just full of socially awkward small talk I don’t care for, with people I’ll never speak to again in my life. What’s the point?

Started a new game yesterday, and been playing it most of today (took a day off of work 😅).

My first character, King Arnbjorn of Iceland, is on his last legs. He started off a nobody at the age of 16, and now as at the ripe age of 76, he rules a Kingdom that consists of Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, the Northern Isles, and a little tiny section of Norway.

I'd say that was a successful life!

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

Why didn’t I think to try logging into with @MonaApp?!

And now I know I can, this further raises the question I’ve been thinking about; What’s the point in having a Pixelfed account if I’m already using Mastodon?

  • I can follow Pixelfed users from Mastodon.
  • Pixelfed users can follow me on Mastodon.
  • I can see Pixelfed posts via hashtags on Mastodon.
  • Heck, I can even see Local and Federated timelines of Pixelfed instances using Mona now!

Trying to sleep at night in these hot temperatures genuinely makes me consider getting aircon installed in my house.

Expensive yes, but might be worth it in the long run considering the consistently hot summers we now get in the UK.

I’d also love to be able to game without my PC considerably raising the room temperature as well!

I built a new ship on but I need help naming it! I’m terrible at coming up with names.

Any ideas?

Started playing and it’s very good! It’s the survival game we’d all want!

Watched the trailer for Gris and was interested by the art style, especially when incorporated into a game.

Just started the new season of . “Joan is Awful” was brilliant.

Did not expect that twist at the end where the Joan we were watching wasn’t the real Joan, but the “First-Level-Fiction” Joan!

I had to explain the twist like 3 or 4 times to my wife and I’m still not sure she gets it. 😂

I hate Linux.

That’s it. That’s the post.

One of the worst things since lockdown happened is that #UK couriers now think it’s acceptable to leave packages on a doorstep and consider that “delivered”.

I say “a doorstep” as my wife just had a notification to say a package has been delivered. It’s nowhere to be seen.

Unless you’ve handed it to me directly as I’ve opened the door, I do not consider it delivered!

Edit: I don’t blame the drivers themselves. It’s the companies who dictate how drivers are supposed to perform their duties.

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

My Threads account has pretty laid dormant since I created it, but I think I’ve found a use for it. To help explain what the Fediverse is to users on Threads that don’t understand it.

I’m interested to see how everyone here would go about explaining what the Fediverse is?

For a game that came out in 2015, this looks spectacular!

After a few of attempts, I’ve finally found a 65W charger for my that fits inside the case I have.

There seems to be a very little innovation around UK plugs so finding one small enough has been a pain.

1st photo has the standard charger. It’s bulky and the three pin plug doesn’t fit causing the Ally to not sit flush as shown in the 2nd photo.

3rd photo has the small charger I’ve found with a collapsible earth pin so it sit flush as shown in the 4th photo.

Went to bed early (11pm is early for me) and of course I got woken up by a work alert shortly afterwards and I’ve now spent the last 2+ hours working on an issue.

It’s now nearly 2:30am and I feel like I haven’t even slept. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

Currently going through the steps of formatting my SD card that I use with my Miyoo Mini Plus.

I added a few games and somehow everything is just broken. Nothing will load. Loads of files seem corrupted.

Bit of a pain! 😐
