Hey.

I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

It appears we’ve come full circle in merely hoping Ovi scores. He did.

Firstly, Chorley.

Secondly, I should rewatch Phoenix Nights. It’s been like twenty years, it’s time.

As for where I’m from? Walkers Crisps and Pork Pies.

It was the only of my three cars that hasn’t been totalled by a driver not paying attention when driving past it.

Yup. Two cars have been written off whilst parked down my street inside two years. Love it!

This team…woof!

A week and a bit ago I was going on about how proud I was off them for finding a way to get it done. They’ve now lost four on the bounce by a combined score of 18-6.

It’s the hope that kills you.

850 next.

Pretty incredible achievement given the multiple lockouts and COVID seasons.

I’m interested to see if they provided a list or if they asked people to submit their own choices. Sackboy and Arthur Morgan are…I mean I’d argue Arthur isn’t even the most iconic character in his own game. Surely that honour goes to John Marston?

Okay so for context I’ve not played BG3. However I do consider myself pretty upto date with my gaming stuff (I run a videogame community afterall). I couldn’t tell you which of the characters on the front of the BG3 box-art is Shadowheart; not the foggiest.

As for Croft. I wonder if they’d ‘commissioned’ this poll before the release of the recent game if she’d have even made the top 10. For the most part, her star has fallen pretty significantly from where she was in the 90’s.

Don’t set yourself alight to keep yourself warm. Not always easy, but it is something I believe. You can only do so much if someone isn’t willing to help themself.

Anyone else considering spoiling their ballot in the next election?

Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though...

Firstly, I upvoted the post because I’d like to see more discussion in this community rather than mere news.

As for your idea about spoiling your ballot. I’m not sure I understand the point of spoiling if you yourself would admit that you’d happily vote Green. Vote Green (if possible).

A sudden uptick in votes for other parties might do more to get the bigger parties to take notice then drawing a dick on your ballot paper.

I’m a Labour member and I don’t want to see them get this sort of majority. There needs to be some sort of functioning opposition to keep them honest and to serve as a threat that the good times won’t last forever.

The last game that truly gave me the feeling you described is Lies of P. It was my favourite game of 2023 and the 60 or so hours I put into beating it were very well spent.

The woman in question told me that in order to help my toddler through his tantrums and general toddler-ness me and Mummy should opt for a strict ‘mimic the crying’ strategy.

She wants us to cry when he cries. Won’t be trying that one. My ‘gentle parenting’ philosophy may have been abandoned at the birth of my second child, but I’m not sure I’m quite ready to traumatize my child in such an overt way just yet.

I saw a recent post that 60% of playtime in 2023 was spent on games 6 years or older. What 6+ year old games are you playing?

I haven’t stopped playing Overwatch since it came out, still getting on with friends 2 or 3 nights a week and putting in a few hours (and I’m still awful lol). I also still log on to Battlefield 1943 from time to time to get in a few matches....

Rocket League. I probably play a solid 3 hours of that every single week, and have done for the last two years. Before those two years I probably played a solid 7-8 hours a week. It’s my forever game, the game I play when I’m bored, the game I play when I’ve got a lot on my mind and just want to fill the void in my head with something safe and easy.

I don’t for one second doubt that there’s some serious problems with Ofsted and how they conduct their inspections. I do however wonder if those being inspected are in the best position to decide if we need to blow it up.

Nah I’m fairly sure it’s the fact that I live with two people who spend most of their time sticking their filthy little hands in and onto things that have previously been touched by other, equally as filthy little hands.

Kids are disgusting.

Based on these comments it’s absolutely Long-Covid. I mean, I’ve never had COVID before, and I’ve got two very young children who spread disease like you wouldn’t believe…but it’s definitely Long-Covid.

Definitely spending the day with my young children, going to a soft-play and then going out for a lunch filled with ‘no no no don’t throw that’ before we return home for a fun evening of 'daaaaaaady, daaaaaaaady’ entirely on my own in total silence apart from the sound of my TV with a videogame on, a fresh cup of tea in my mug and maybe a takeaway pizza on the way.
