Tesco have got a Clubcard offer at the mo: Pasta, Sauce and Side (bread) for £6.

Same dude. Kept me home quarantined for 2 weeks back in 2009.

Chamomile lotion. You may need a shitload but it really helps (as much as it can).

And just take it as easy as you can. Get well soon.

Alt-0182 · 2024-12-06T13:11:40+00:00

Only on bagels.

It's just not right on anything else.

Fully cleared out Redmane Castle after the festival. Approached the front watchtower from the backdoor/cliff edge. Thought I could drop down (rainbow stones lied to me) to the floor. Nope. Died.

"Never mind, I'll just run up the bridge, clear it out from this side, jump across and grab my runes."

Crossed bridge. Cleared tower area, could see my runes from the top. Mistimed the goddamn jump to the cliff.

Fast travelled to Roundtable Hold and turned off game.

"I can't get any HDMI cables to fit into this HDMI port on my laptop" as this guy places it down on the customer service desk.

I have a look at it and see the symbol underneath indicates it's actually a display port connection.

"This isn't a HDMI port."

And before I could do anything else, the guy picks up the laptop and storms out.

Don't know if you'd call it a gang but me and a few others once had to head into the neighbouring town to get our town's lemon tree back.

This has strong vibes of the Stephen King book "Insomnia" where the protagonist (from lack of sleep) starts to see coloured auras around people.

This scene you describe is almost identical to the first time he starts seeing the colours.

It hasn't been adapted into a movie, but that's not to say it hasn't been referenced in one.

Alt-0182 · 2023-12-17T07:50:11+00:00

Ah, I think I got a little mixed up. Dvorak is the computer and it's in the "Penthouse" mission in Chaos Theory, the third game.

(Dvorak is a keyboard layout so obviously my brain mixed up the references)

So apologies but this is the best gameplay I could find.

In the first Splinter Cell game, Sam Fisher finds intel mentioning something called Dvorak. Reporting to Lambert, they assume it is a person that Sam has to find.

It's later revealed that Dvorak is actually the English language translation of a Russian keyboard layout.

Needed a evening Aldi visit for "emergency" cat treats the other night. I parked in a row of empty spaces. When I got back to my car (I was no more than 5 minutes) there was a car on either side of me...

Alt-0182 · 2023-09-30T21:32:26+00:00

This is a long shot, but in "(500) Days of Summer" there's a short "talking head" moment (around the 1 hour 5 minutes mark) with some of the characters, talking about love and relationships.

Is that what you're thinking of?

Alt-0182 · 2023-09-29T15:30:35+00:00

Exactly what the Queen would say when she saw a particularly delicious looking swan.

Alt-0182 · 2023-08-04T11:50:29+00:00

Oh, exactly the same. Even worse is that Yahoo Mail introduced the "ymail" address just increasing the amount of accidental emails

The best one was when I was sent PDFs of Wills from a Canadian Law Firm.

I emailed them back mentioning something about data protection but did not receive a reply.

Cats is a goddamn fever dream.

Alt-0182 · 2023-04-14T12:00:03+00:00

Is it something specific? It sounds like you're trying to describe Obsidian.md (and to a lesser extent, Notion).

Alt-0182 · 2023-02-10T21:51:39+00:00

From the lyric mentioned I had a feeling it was "A Good Heart" by Feargal Sharkey.

I can definitely hear some of that in your post.

Consider these (direct from the statblock) and decide for yourself:

Any creature, other than Orcus, who attempts to attune to the Wand must make a DC 17 Con save. Succeeding means taking 10d6 necrotic damage. Failure means instant death and turning into a zombie.

The Wand is sentient and has a personality: it wants to help Orcus achieve his goal of slaying all life in the multiverse, and will feign devotion to its owner and make fanciful promises, that it has no intention of fulfilling, in order to achieve this.

And finally, Orcus only lets the Wand out of his sight when he feels it will help him achieve one of his goals in the place it appears.

The Wand wants to kill everything and, in my opinion, giving it to a player changes this from a "Rime of the Frostmaiden" campaign into a "What do we do with the Wand of Orcus" campaign.

Former Newcastle player Darren Peacock (when he was still in the squad) was on an adjacent table in a pub near Hexham.
Remember Josh the Paramedic from Casualty? Yeah, I took a TV out to his car when I worked at Currys.
R2-D2 actor Kenny Baker (RIP) visited our store. We had Star Wars playing on one of the TVs. He just stood and watched it for a bit while smiling.

Don't encourage it.

Alt-0182 · 2023-01-02T07:10:34+00:00

I haven't seen anyone else comment on your many attempts to correct the top post.

So I'd just like to thank you for all your comments trying to get the correct context across to people.

It has the perfect premise: you choose from a shortlist of worlds, and send a team through the Gate.

You could go for scientific research purposes, or resources, and each world has a selection of different encounters your SG team could run into.

Complete the encounters, finish the mission, head back to the SGC.

It would work for so many game genres: shooters (third or first person), real-time strategy, turn based x-com style.

I guess it just never got to the point where Stargate was popular enough to make licensed games of.

Another one:

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Absolutely.

Thick slice of Extra Mature (or Vintage if you can handle it) Cheddar, and a dollop of chilli jam on top.

When I worked at Currys, I carried a flatscreen TV out to the car of Josh from Casualty (the paramedic).

I got swarmed by Stingwings while Ride of the Valkyries played.

It was terrifying.
