My 3 year old son’s sleep regression is getting painful. Every time we try and get him to sleep, he struggles and it takes over an hour. 🙃

So many wars! 🙃

Just had my first proper gaming session with my 3 year old son and it was fantastic! We were playing . I was controlling the movement, and he was in charge of jumping and “Wizzy Wizzy!” We died so many times but it didn’t matter as he found it hilarious every time Crash fell.

I think I’ll always remember this moment. 💜

Ads on are getting ridiculous. I’m now getting 25-40 seconds of unskippable ads every 5 minutes or so.

I get that ads are needed to fund free services but when it’s constantly interrupting the content, it just leads to an awful user experience on any device not using an ad-blocker and does not make me want to use it. Maybe that’s the point.

I’d just prefer it if they’d put all the ads at the beginning of the content.

This is stupidest feature in . Just let me send what I want to send. 🙃

I spent so many hours of my childhood playing this game.

Anyone else have this experience as a kid?

Me hearing ice cream van song outside: “Mum, can we have an ice cream?!”

Mum: “No. There’s a Choc Ice in the freezer.”

Me: 😩

Well, now my wife has bought Choc Ices. Why she doing this to me?!😩

Reddit going down the same route as Twitter with 3rd party apps. No Apollo means no Reddit for me.

Is there a version of Reddit? https://mastodon.social/@christianselig/110464420566906146

Just got home after watching : Return of the King at the cinema. I never got to watch them at the cinema when it originally released so to watch it on the big screen was amazing!

I’m on-call for the Bank Holiday and someone decides to phone me as something is broken.

The audacity of these people. 😅

Reposting this as I'm just sick of now. It's constant. Every fucking night.

I want to find the people and shove the fireworks up their arses and light it. Strong opinion but I'm pissed off and I'm trying to find a reason not to actually do it. 😅 https://mstdn.games/@EighthLayer/111359919718715872

Energy price rises AGAIN in January.

Fuck . 🖕

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

Why is #DeadCity not available to watch anywhere in the UK?

It seems we've gone back in time with broadcasting rights on #TV shows. I thought we'd got past this!

I guess it's time to find my parrot, wooden leg and set sail again! 🏴‍☠️

Thanks to everyone who joined me for my stream!

We played a bit of and then moved onto !

Below is a screenshot of part of the factory so far. Not much to it, but got some basic automation going but much more to be done!

Not sure when I'll be streaming again next. Going to play it by ear and put less pressure on myself to keep to a schedule. I'll probably just decide on the day if I want to do it or not.

Woke up this more feeling a bit... meh.

Just not feeling it today. Can I go back to bed and stay there all day?

Who'd have thought that blowing bubbles would be the solution to get my son to go for a poop on the toilet. 💩🤷‍♂️

Just ordered this 180° USB-C adapter for my .

I’m hoping it’ll make it more comfortable to use whilst being charged and also extend the life of the chargers I have as well.

I’ll post a photo of it actually in use when it’s delivered!

Good start to the day.

Wife said my car wouldn’t start, and then coincidentally, our car insurance company notified us of a near 100% premium increase.

Thanks world. 🙃

A Season Pass on a full price game with content locked behind it on day one? Hell no.

I inherited an Apple Watch Series 5 from my mother-in-law, however the battery health is at 69% (not so nice!).

I can go down the official route of an Apple “Repair”, but from what I can see online, instead of replacing the battery, they’ll just replace the whole thing with a refurbished one. This one is in pretty good condition and I don’t want to risk getting one in a worse state, and it also costs £80.

Does anyone know if there is an alternative?

I’m really struggling with finding motivation to work at the moment. I think I’m just bored of what I do day-to-day and I feel stuck where I am. Can’t afford to start from the beginning again doing something else, not that I even know what that something else could be.

I’ve got a one-to-one meeting with my boss tomorrow so I’m probably going to bring it up. The parts about my current role anyway.

Every time I take the case off my to clean it, I’m reminded of how premium the device feels.

Then I’m reminded that the iPhone 13 Pro is an absolute fingerprint magnet. 😂
